of Fowler VS. Fowler, which was being
tried when this paper went to press
last, was finished Wednesday, the Jury
bringing in verdict which favored
the defendant, Mrs. o. f. Fowler The
jury refused to award the claims of
$l,S00, $52S and 500 to John w. Fow-
Ter, the plaintiff, but did render a
conditional verdict on some smaller
accounts.
In the case of o. III. Cooley VS. j. r..
and Sallie Curry verdict of SIPS was
rendered for the plaintiffs.
In the case of Mary Sellers VS. The
Clinton Cotton Mills, where the plain
tiff was sueing for $4,000 damages
for the loss of a finger while in the
employ of the defendant mill com
pany, the mill was given the verdict.

around car of alleged damaged corn,
which was shipped to the McSwains
ana which the Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture contiscated, and another car
OF corn which the McSwains attached
and had the sheriff to sell a few weeks
later. 1t was thought by the Nc
SWANS that both cars belonged to the
Adams Grain and Provision Company
and the second car was sold to re-
cover losses incurred in the first shin
ment, the first car having been paid
for before delivery The paintiffs i'm
TINS suit stepped in shortly after the
sheriifS sale and claimed the second
car of corn and the suit of Yesterday
resulted. Judge Gage directed n YER
dlct OF Ia cents per bushc for the

PINE BARK BEETLE
TO BE DISCUSSED
Meeting Here on SaIesday
of December.
LARGE AUDIENCE
SHOULD GREET SPEAKER
Representative of L. S. Bureau OF
Entomology has Consented to BE
Here that Day and to Explain the
Cause OF and Methods OF EXterm-
inatiOn OF the Beetle.

For number of months during the
past summer and early fall the news
papers of this section have from time
to time given more or less publicity
to the inroads of the pine bark bee
tie. The beetles have been found in
many different sections OF the South
Atlantic States and their spread has
been very rapid. In fact they became
SO common that the United States De-
partment of Agriculture took up the
matter with certain parties in this
state with the result that a station
was placed at Spartanburg for the
study of their cause and remedy. For
some months agents have been going
out over the district from this station
advising the farmers what to do in
the beetle. A general campaign of
eradication has resulted and now the
agents are ready to come to Laurens
to instruct the farmers and other land
owners of this county.
According to the letters below,
which were sent in to this office by
DR.. III. *. Aiken, it will be seen that
a mass meeting will be held here
salesday of December. That day should
see every farmer in the county pres
ent who has any injected trees. To
make the campaign success requires
the cooperation Of every land own
er, for if all the land owners in the
county but one eradicate the beetles
and that land owner allows them to
stay on his, the beetles from his trees
will be constant menace to all the
trees in his neighborhood and sub
seQuently to an corresponding ter
ritory.
