SIX Millions for Golf Balls.

There are a number Of golf courses
In and near Philadelphia, and there
are thousands of golf enthusiasts in
this city. They will probably be in
terested to hear that golf players all
over the country spend $6,0O0,OOO on
golf balls each year.
With the increase in interest Of all
out-of-doors sports, golf has steadily
grown more popular, until today few
communities in the United States are
without at least a nine-hole course
Five years ago 1t was said there were
a quarter Of a million golfers in Amer
lea. Today there are certainly half
million. 1t is a bit difficult to esti-
mate the number Of balls used, for
players vary in time over the course,
losses and in the damage they do to
the guttapercha spheres. Then, too,
some have old balls remade and soiled
balls reprinted 1t is pretty certain,
however, that at least two dozen balls
season are bought by the ordinary
golfer That means twelve million
balls, at fifty cents each (the seventy
five-cent ones offsetting the remades)
and an investment on the part Of the
golf players Of $4,000 OO.- Philadel-

What's the Matter With the Moon?-

The queer and mysterious exhibition
that the tickle moon is giving in this
section each night in the southern
skies continues to be an unexplained
phenomenon for which no adequate
cause has thus far been assigned by To-
cal sages and star-gazers and their ilk.
The moon last night as on the night
previous presented the same strange
appearance-the southern or lower tip
of the crescent being as neatly and
symmetrically nipped off as If the
work had been done by some expert
with compass and dividers in an archi-
tect's office.
Why the lower end of the crescent
moon should possess this appearance
has not yet been pointed out and many
people last night viewed the strange
sight with mingled feelings of interest
and some suggestion of something gone
awry in the celestial regions. 1t has
not been reported whether this peculi-
arity has been noted in other sections
or not. but as it has been seen on two
successive evenings here for six hours
at a time, and nobody has offered a
plausible solution of the appearance,
the moon continues to be the cynosure
of many eyes each night. Some have
thought that the low southern latitude
in which the moon is travelling for two
or three days before returning to high
er latitudes. may explain the phenome-
non but no definite explanation has
yet been Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

In its last issue the Gaffney Ledger
published what it called>a resume OF
the political situation" up to that
time, and referring to the attitude OF
the newspapers, said:
The Yorkville Enquirer, so we are
informed, supports him tGovernor
Blease1 because Of spite toward Judge
Jones, who had something to do with
a lawsuit in which the elder Mr.. Grist
was bested by the Baptists Of York
vile and Rev. Tillman r. Gaines, late
Of this county.
The first the editor Of The Enquirer
saw of this was a vague. insinuating
reference in the Anderson Daily Mail
sometime ago. The editor Of The En-
quirer did not understand what II
meant then any better than he does
now and dismissed 1t with the con-
tempt he thought it deserved. The
editor Of The Enquirer has but little
knowledge of the lawsuit referred to-
and most of that little knowledge has
been acquired since the appearance of
the insinuation in the Anderson Daily
Mail. II Judge Jones had anything
to do with the case at all the editor OF
The Enquirer is not even yet aware of
the fact. The editor Of The Enquirer
has never harbored any unkindly feel
ing toward Judge Jones and harbors
no such feeling now. Why anybody
should print about us an insinuation
so completely without foundation in
either reason or fact as the above, we
are at a loss to understand.

THE ARMY WORM.

Prof. Edmund H. Gibson, entomolo-
gist Of the United States department
Of agriculture, was in Yorkville last
Wednesday, having come to look into
the recent appearance Of army worms
in the cornfield Of Mr.. r. T. Allison on
the eastern outskirts Of town, and
while here he called upon The Enqui-
rer.
Prof Gibson said that there was no
which attacked Mr.. Allisons corn was
the genuine army worm; but the injury
that 1t did was comparatively small
because the corn was so young at the
beginning of the attack. At first-at
the time mention was made Of the mat
ter in The Enquirer-it looked as II
this cornfield had been ruined; but ac-
cording to Prof. Gibson's estimate the
injury will not amount to more than
Is per cent, II that.
Speaking Of the life history of the
army worm, Prof Gibson said that the
insect first makes its appearance In the
form Of a moth, in which stage 1t is
harmless so far as effect on vegetation
Is concerned. 1t eats nothing and de-
stroys nothing; but it lays thousands of
eggs, on blades of grass, weeds, etc
These eggs hatch in from to days
and develop into tiny worms Of vari
able color from light brown to black.
Attaching themselves to vegetation,
preferably succulent crops, the worms
grow rapidly until they attain a length
and the size Of lead pencil. They
partake in a measure of the color Of
the plant on which they happen to be
feeding; but their skin contains enough
pigment to preserve their original COL
or Upon attaining their full size, re-
gardless Of the supply Of vegetation
available, the worms go down into the
ground about two inches, pass through
crysalis stage in from to 10 days
and come out as moths again. They
repeat the process from three to four
times in a season, moving from farm
to farm with each new brood. The
moths from the worms that attacked
Mr.. Allison's corn patch recently, are
now about due to make their appear
ance again and the people Of the ad-
Joining farms are warned to be on the
lookout for them.
The best way to exterminate the ar
my worm, says Prof. Gibson, Is by the
use Of powdered arsenate Of lead. I'm
mediately upon the location Of new
brood, 1t Is a good idea to cut down a
belt Of whatever crop they may hap
pen to be on, the belt entirely sur
TOunuluS llle WOIHlS duu llcll po"uci
the belt material with arsenate of lead.
In this way the worms may be killed
with the least spreading. Prof. Gibson
says that peas, hay or other forage
powdered with arsenate of lead will be
safe to feed within twenty-five days
after the powdering.
Prof. Gibson says his headquarters
are in Charlotte for the present and he
will be glad to answer any call that
may be made for his services from
either North or South Carolina.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-08-23

has been much of a puzzle to get line
as to how things are going. But all are
agreed that the interest in the guber-
Material race Is great. Some Of the
country neighborhoods are almost solid
for Judge Jones, others for Governor
Blease and still others are divided.
There seems to be no question that
majority of the strictly town vote Is
for Jones; but as to the strictly coun-
try vote, opinion seems to be divided.
Some very good judges think the coun-
try boxes will give Governor Blease a
majority and other equally good judges
think the majority will go for Jones.
The cotton mill vote of the county Is
variously estimated at from 900 to
1900, and the general opinion seems to
be that from 80 to 80 per cent Of It
will be for Governor Blease, though
there are those who are making larger
claims for Judge Jones.
The Jones and Blease issue has not
figured publicly 80 far as the various
candidates are concerned. That Is, the
candidates have not been asked to come
out openly and state whether they are
for Blease or Jones; but at the same
time the Blease and Jones yardstick Is
figuring to greater or less extent in the
case Of nearly all of the candidates. So
concerned, however, 1t Is a fact that
all Of them want votes, all the votes
they can get, and they are not refusing
any offers Of assistance because Of Blease
or Jones leanings on the part Of the re-
spective voters. The thing that each
candidate most wants Is to get there
himself.
It has been so heretofore and the
voters may look for 1t again next Tues
day, the keeping Of the telephone wires
buzzing with messages as to how this
candidates friends, or that candidates
friends, are voting for so and so or
scratching so and so, and advising re-
taliation by scratching so and so. In
times past messages like this have cut
considerable figures in election years
and defeated or elected different can
didates. Some times. in fact, more Of
ten than otherwise, 1t develops that the
messages are more or less faky; but
usually that Is not discovered, until af-
ter they have gotten in their work.
BY reason Of the greater interest In
the governorship race, the situation Is
q peculiar one, and how the fortunes Of
the candidates for county offices may
be effected there Is no telling before
hand. This can be ascertaihed only by
very careful investigation after the
election.
