ARMY WORM IN BARNWELL.
Discovery of Pest Near Blackvlile
Alarms Farmers.

\ Barnwell, July 22.-The farmers
of Barnwell county are very much
worried over the appearance of the
army worm in fields near Blackville.
A report that reached here yesterday
says that in a field of corn, where
they had been at work, the fodder
has been eaten from the stalks and
the grass cleaned out. The shucks
have not been attacked yet. Steps
are being taken to eradicate the pest
and to prevent it's spreading to other
fields.
The situation in this county would
be considered extremely grave should
the army worm get beyond control.
The farmers are facing hard times rs
it is, for the very unreasonable wealth
er has caused the crops to be very
backward. At best the corn crop will
be short, and should the army worm
get in the fields to any great extent,
many men will be ruined.

WOMAN KILLS HERSELF.
Accused by Husband, Given as Cause
of Fatal Deed.

Rock Hill, July 20.-Mrs. Parke
Walker, age %, and the mother of
two children, committed suicide at
her home in Carhartt village this
morning about o'clock, gashing her
throat with a razor and soon bleed
ing tt death. She stated before dy-
ing that she did it because her hus-
band had accused her of unfaithful-
ness and threatened to take the chill
dren from her and at the time of
the deed was away getting convey
ance to take them.
Sentiment prevailing in the village
seems to be with the woman and
those who have known her long be-
lieve her a good woman. On the 9TH
er hand, Walker bears the reputation
of being worthless, and it is said he
had been repeatedly ordered by the
mill manager to stay away from the
village where Mrs. Walker was earn

ANTI-VICE CAMPAIGN ON.
Spartanburg Churches Active for
Moral Uplift of City.

Spartanburg, July 22.-"When a
young man goes out on the streets of
Spartanburg at night, he goes out in
the very fumes of hell" was state
ment made in sermon last night by
the Rev. w. A. McAuley, pastor of
the Associated Reformed Presbyteri-
an church. This sermon was a part
of campaign that is being waged by
the churches of the city against va
rious forms of vice which are said to
exist here.
A meeting of committees from
each of IA churches was held tonight
at the Y. M. C. A., in order to per-
feet plans for a more rigid enforce
ment> of the ordinances of the city.
Some of the six clubs here, the near
beer saloons, and other places are
said to be Objectionable, and these
committees will confer with the city
council in efforts to uplift the moral
tone of the city.

TOBACCO TESTERS.
Officials Who Earn a Living by
Smoking All Day.

In the French ministry of finance
there is a class of officials whose ac-
tivity is little known to the outer
world. These men are the official to-
bacco testers, and they pass judgment
on every kind of tobacco manufacture
ed in France.
They consist of chairman and five
assistants, and from morning to even
ing they have nothing to do but
smoke cigars, cigarettes and pipes,
in order to arrive at an estimate Of
the different kinds of tobacco SUBJ
mitted to them.
1t is not only the products of home
industry that come before them for
judgment, but the cigars and cigar
cites that are sold in France have
also to make their appeal to the de-
cision of their palate, and the pleas
ATTEST part Of the days work comes
when it falls to their lot to test the
high price Havana cigars sold by the
State.
The officials who undertake this
difficult and responsible duty are ex-
inspectors of tobacco manufactures,
who have passed a certain number Of
years in the States service and have
given proof of their capability for
this peculiar kind of work. Their
by no means light duty consists in
smoking from 9 in the morning to
5 in the evening, and very often it
is by no means the best kinds of to-
bacco with which they have to deal.
The injurious influence of this to-
bacco debauch, which produces great
dryness of the mouth and throat, and
might easily lead to nicotine poison
ing, they endeavor to combat by
drinking great quantities of black
coffee, which acts as an antidote to
the effects of the nicotine imbibed.
And it is only black coffee that rem
ders it possible for them to distin-
guish between and estimate the value
of the various kinds of strong tobacco
The danger run by these valiant Of
fcials can best be gauged by remem-
bering the highly poisonous character
of nicotine, as brought out especially
by the experience of Croatian in the
Crimean war, who on finding snake
in a. wall, knocked the bowl off his
chibouk and plunged the end into it's
mouth, with the result that it fell
dead at his feet as stiff as a piece Of
iron.

A Woman Who "Hired Out" to Her
Husband for a Vacation.

The following letter won a prize
of S25 offered by the Woman's Home
Companion tor the best account of
q vacation. 1t was written by a wo-
man who lives on a farm in Wy
oming:
ITO begin with, then, I'm a ranch
er's wife, and was a farmers daugh-
ter, so know what it means to get.
up early and work till late. I've read
a great deal about vacations, but not
much about vacations 1or the woman
on the ranch.
Most women who live on a ranch
know something about horses, and
can harness and drive a team. Now
everyone knows that to people who
have always worked with their.
hands, idleness is not rest, and that
recreation comes quicker. and surer
from a chance of work; so. hired

scarce and wages are high, 50 hired
a girl to do the housework and take
care of the children, while donned
a pair Of overalls, a jumper, broad
brimmed hat, and a pair of stout
gloves, and went forth to take my
vacation.
'The first day ] Imowed, and the
first night l kicked levers and drove
horses all night. I wasn't so enthu-
siastic the second morning, but I
moved some more, and raked some,
and that night l slept; and / slept

mea clear gain of eight dollars per

things. l felt so rested when I took
up the reins Of the household again,

SHOWER OF SPIDERS.
An Account of the Wonderful
Phenomenon.

Gilbert White gives an account of
a spider shower that continued for
nearly a whole day. Darwin saw one
at sea. Each spider was supported,
it appears, by a tiny parachute, COM
posed of a few threads of almost in
visible gossamer.
Spider showers have from time to
time been made the subject of sci
entific reports in this country. One
of them gives this description Of the
phenomenon:
On the morning of this shower
there had been some electrical disturb
ance. There had been one loud peal
of thunder, but no rain. ALTO o'clock
there was observed number of
spiders that ran over the coat sleeves
of the observer. He brushed off sew
eral trails of gossamer web.
Upon looking about he discovered
thatthe houses, walls and trees show
ed these webs dangling from them,
and that other gossamer webs were
continually falling from above and
adding to the accumulation.
By midday fence was festooned
from point to point of it's triangular
rail tops with ribbon like ladder of
gossamer, and this continued to be-
come broader and broader as the tiny
creatures continued to run along this
ladder, each spider increasing the
breadth by adding it's own contribu-
ton of another silAen thread.
All ,along this ladder the spiders
were running in an excited and hur-
ried manner, as if they had lost their
way in a strange country. Some, in
proceeding over their improvised
road, made mistakes and got into the
bordering webs of the garden spiders,
by which they were speedily devour-
ed.
At l o'clock the clouds Vanlsned,
the sun came out and the observer
noticed that some of the spiders had
begun to reascend into the atmos-
phere. Fixing his gaze upon one OF
them, he observed that as it left the
gossamer pathway it selected a clean
spot on an iron railing, and, gather
ing it's legs closely together, project
ed it's spinners, several threads that
extended outward and stretched up
ward from nine to twelve inches.
Then this parachute seemed to show
a buoyant tendency, and suddenly
the tiny creature let 60 of the iron
rail, or was lifted off it, and quickly
vanished into the arm. Y. Sun.

FRIEND OF KING AND WATSON.
Dares the Governor to Attempt to
Kick Them Out.

Friday night H. T. Mills, Of Green
vile, sent the following telegram to
the State:
After reading the reports that
Gov. C. L. Blease said he kicked j.
n. King and o. NJ. Watson out of
his mansion, 1 am willing to offer a
reward of $500 for the governor of
the State if he will even attempt that
job. These gentlemen have been his
leading supporters in this county and
have a large number of friends. This
is another case of Blease sticking to
his friends. II. T. MILLS.
The governor is offered an easy
way to make $500, but he will hardly
take it up.

TROLLEY AND AUTO COLLIDE.
Several Hurt in Crash Between
Aiken and Augusta.

Aiken, July 22.-As the result of
a terrific collision at Langley Sunday
afternoon between an automobile and
an Aiken-bound car, E. Foster Brig
ham,. a candidate for the house Of
representatives from Aiken county;
DR.. McGinn, of Langley, and three
other occupants Of the machine,
whose names were not learned, were
more or less painfully injured, while
the automobile is a total wreck. DR..
McGinn is perhaps the most serious
ly injured of the quintette. He was
severely bruised and cut around the
face and skull.
The accident occurred just before
dark, as the automobile travelled to-
ward Augusta, the trolley car coming
toward Aiken. At the exact point
where the accident occurred view
of the crossing is obscured by box
like arrangement that the trolley
company has placed there for a sta
ton house. Hence the party in the
machine could not see the approach
ing car, nor could the motornan
have obtained any view of the oncom-
ing auto, with the result that when
the auto whirled onto the track from
behind the obscuritY of the shed, it
was too late to avoid the collision,
and the crash followed. This takes
any possible blame away from the
motorman and places it to careless
ness on the part of whoever was
driving the machine in not first as
suring himself of the absence of any
danger.

DROWNED AT BRANCHvILLE.
Willie Berry Lost His Life While
Bathing i'm Stream.

Branchville, July 23.-Sunday
morning about $3.50 o'clock, Willie
Berry, about IL years of age, was
drowned about seven miles below
here while in bathing in the Edisto
river with his stepfather, Henry
Smoak, and several other men. His
body was recovered Monday evening
and the burial took place Tuesday.
The boy was left in a boat on a
bar in the river, while the men went
up stream about 100 yards to swim
down stream. When they got al
most back they saw the boy bob up
about 100 feet below where they left
him. It is supposed that he got out
of the boat and was washed off the
bar by the swift current.

Whist of Tall Buildings?

With all their wild extravaganza
the people of New York sometimes
think seriously of the building prob
lem as it is presented in the project
ed skyscrapers that are planned to
reach awesome heights. Engineers
are predicting not only one but many
terrible catastrophes as a result OF
the crumbling of the great Office
structures that now. rear their cloud
capped towers on lower Manhattan
Island. For as yet the extremely tall
building is an unknown quantity. 1t
is in an experimental stage and has
not withstood the only real test OF
all buildings, that of time. Should
New York be visited with a great
earthquake, it is likely that much
damage would be done the steel
shafts that crowd so close together
that they resemble stack of cards
If >one should tumble to earth it
would be a miracle if it did not take
others down with it. 1t was in 1875
that the Tribune building was COM
pleted in New York, and although it
was only ten stories in height it was
considered a marvel of architectural
triumph. For several years no one
attempted to rival that lofty construc-
ton. The cost of building was too
great for profit. The material was
brick and stone and to carry the
enormous weight heavy foundations
were necessary. But to-day there is
scarcely an ambitious city in the land
that does not look with something
like contempt upon a mere ten-story
building, and in New York the Trib-
une building is dwarfed on all sides
into architectural obscurity. The
newest tall Office structure in New
York is the Woclworth building,
which will have fif::y-five stories. 1t
is not only the tallest building in
the world, but the best, according
to the science Of construction. But
will even that pile of steel mark the
end? Nobody believes that it will.
Just as the Singer building, the Met
ropolitan tower and the Park Row
building were supreme each in its
time, so it is predicted the Wool
worth building will be eclipsed by
something higher still. To-day the
Woolworth building has passed its
rival the Metropolitan tower, which
is 700 feet high. Within a few
months the Woolworth flag staff will
look down from a dizzy shelf 75O
feet above New York streets. Some
years ago the great Monadnock build
ing in Chicago struck terror to those
who viewed it for the first time
