prevent loans. This the Japanese have
agreed to do.

Navy Nonsense Causes Death.

Annapolis, Nd, July 22.--Wm l..
Bullock, of Corsicana, Texas, mid
shipman Of six weeks standing at the
Naval Academy, was killed this af-
ternoon by falling from the top of
the main mast Of the Hartford to the
deck, a distance Of about hundred
feet. His neck was broken, and he
died instantly.
Bullock had just accomplished a
feat which tradition demands of a
new midshipman, the climbing Of
tho main mast of the Hartford and
the transflxing Of his cap on tho
spike which adorns tho top. He
tried to slide down, but tho ropo
burned his hands and in trying to
get another hold lost his balance
and fell. He struck the cross bars
on his descent, and probably receiv-
ed his fatal injury then.

FIGHT AGAINST ARMY WORM.
Anderson Farmers Appeal for Aid in
Combating Pest. rA

Anderson, July 20.-The farmers
of the districts infested with the
army worm this afternoon issued an
appeal for help in the way of labor
and money, with which to buy Paris
green and arsenate Of lead to be used
in stamping out the pest.
The dreaded worm was first dis
covered early In the week in the
Roberts section of the county. Since
then It has spread to other sections,
and the worms are absolutely de-
stroying all vegetation. The worms
have confined themselves principally
osFthe bottoms, BUT they are going
into cocoons and in five days will
which experts say will be scattered
raj Clemson experts are on the scene
and are urging immediate action,
which IS being given freely by the
people of all sections Of the country
Entomologists are expected from
Clemson, and 1t is expected that a
systematic plan to eXterminate the
worm will be mapped out.
The worm is stripping corn Of all
its foliage and is literally devastat-
ing all green things that come in its
way. Unless the ravishes OF the
worm are checked it is feared that
the crops Of the county will be de-
stroyed, and from this county the
pest will spread to others. Up to
tonight the worm has played but lit
tie havoc in the cotton fields, princi-
pally because 1t has been fought back
by the farmers, who have gathered in
large numbers in the infested dis
tricts.
The Anderson Chamber of Com
merce has announced that it will help
In financial way as well as in any
other way that presents itself to give
the farmers relief. A united effort
among all the pc pie Of the county
to confine the worms to the districts
already Infested is being made. The
plants are being sprayed with Paris
green and arsenate Of lead, with
good results. The supply Of arsenate
of lead is limited, but a large ship
ment is expected.
Expert Goes to Anderson.
Washington, July 22.-Represen-
tativc Wyatt Aiken had a conference
with the Secretary Of Agriculture to-
day In regard to INC appearance of
tho army worm in Anderson county,
as the result Of which DR.. w. f..
webster the entOmologist OF the ag-
riculturo department, started to-
night for Anderson. He will spend
as much time as may be necessary
there, directing the fight against the
worm. There was no money avail
able to pay the expenses of the trim.
as the appropriation bills have not
been passed yet. Secretary Wilson
ana Congressman Aiken advanced
the expense money for the trip out
or their pockets. They will prOba-
bly be reimbursed when the appro-
priation bill has been passed
Secretary Wilson does not think
the worm will do extended damage
In Anderson, but thought it wise to
SEND an expert to look over the sit
uation. The worm. he says, app ears
at intervals all over the South near
~ every year, but has never done
what may be termed general dam
age DR.. Webster will be prepared
to do everything that can be done
to check its ravages.
