Beach VIII Be Tried.

Aiken.-An interesting question has
arisen and is being asked on all sides
in Aiken. Solicitor Robert L. Gunter
was informed that a New York paper
had published the report that the
charges against Frederick o. Beach,
who is accused by the Aiken authori-
ties of having slashed his pretty wife's
throat here last February, have been
dropped and that Mr.. Beach, who was
in Europe when the warrant was is
sued for his arrest, had determined to
bring suit against the parties who
were responsible for the issuance OF
the warrant under which he was ar
rested. Solicitor Gunter states that
the case will be tried and that the
charges have not been dropped.

Advocate at the Request Of Mr.. Owens
shows that he did not retire from
the race because Mr.. Spears re-eE-
tered it.
From the Pee Dee Advocate ut
March IA, 1912.
Mr.. Owens VIII Run. :.
J.K. Owens authorizes the follow
ing announcement:
when Mr.. Spears announced that
he would not be a candidate for re-
election as Solicitor I decided to en-
ter the race. The change OF mind
on the part Of Mr.. Spears does not
alter my determination, and I am in
the race for Solicitor"
The fact Is Mr.. Oens remained an
avowed candidate until a few days
before the time for fling pledges ex-
pired and this he is willing and ready
to verify. Mr.. Spears circular states
that the late Solicitor Johnson ex-
pressed the wish that Spears might
succeed him. OF this I never heard
until this campaign. do not know
whether it be true or not but I am
quite sure that there is great con-
trast between the manner in which
the two have conducted the office
and I have no fears that Johnson's
reputation will suffer by comparison.
1t needs no defense at my hands, but
I do say that If I 90 into the office I
shall try to profit by the good exam
pies which he set and avoid his few,
and MIR. Mr.. Spears many, errors.
Mr.. Spears boasts that he has put
more money in the County Treasures
than Mr.. Johnson or any Of his pre-
decessors. The paramount duty Of
a Solicitor is to prosecute guilty per-
sons to conviction and leave tAeir
,punishment TO- the Judge VIA
Delo ssKe OF sa'''
ing kvoiding work
to rush into money compromises, thus
making the punishment easy for the
rich, and doubly hard for the poor.
The Courts were established to reg
ulate society, to punish crime, to deter
crime, and not for money making pur-
poses, and such I am sure was John
sons ideal. Besides this, If 1t be true
that more money has been paid by the
criminal class into the County Treas
uries in latter years than formerly, it
is evidently due to the fact that the
Judges have imposed larger fines and
more convicts have been able to pay
than formerly. Mr.. Spears conduct
of the office could not have put it
there unless pershance he has let
some man off who happened to have
the money in lieu of the punishment
which he deserved. If I am elected
to the office l will seek to convict all
guilty persons regardless of whether
it costs money or saves time, patient
ly and carefully investigate each and
every case.
AS to statements signed by GER
tain LAWYERS Of Darlington, I have
no concern. While l do not know,
l have never doubted that the ma
jority of them would support Mr..
Spears but l have all confidence that
they will not be any more solid for
him than the Bennettsville Bar is
for me. I have never thought that
the lawyers votes counted any more
than anybod else's vote, but since
he has seen fit to thus publicly bring
the lawyers to the front, although
there are several more in Darlington
than there are in Marlboro I am not
the least afraid nor averse to having
their judgment upon our respective
merits-uninfluenced by local consid-
erations.

WORM is DEVELOPED.

ers In the State.

Co,umbia-The fall army worm

gma frugiperda-has Just developed
its second generation in this locality.
The months Of the first generation ap.
peared about the first Of July. and the
worms" did their chief damage be-
tween July 10 and July 2b. BY the
last of July farmers almost univer'
sally testified that the worms bad
mysteeiously disappeared. Naturally
they believed that the pest had entire
". left or had bsen exterminated BY
some cause. Their hopes, howeves,
were soon to be shattered. The sud
den disappearance Of the csterpillars
was merely due to the fact that they
had entered the ground for puPetion.
During this pupal or COCOON stage,
which lasts about five weeks, . Won
-Aerful transformation takes place
while the motionless pupa lies buried
about one-half an inch below the sur
face of the soil. At the end OF this
period the cocoon splits open and the
adult emerges - an ashy-gray color
ed moth. In fact, these second gen.
eration moths are already appearing
and preparing, each, to rear a large
family Of crop devastators,
|. Recent examinations In several
fields about Leesviue discloses the fact
that many Of these moths are already
busly engaged in laying their eggs
within the tender buds Of young corn.
About 100 eggs are deposited by each
female and from q week to ten days
are required to hatch them. Not only
Is 1t easy to see that the arrival OF
the new worms" Is very close at hand,
but 1t is also highly likely that the sec
ond generation will he much more nu'
merous in numbers than the first.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S PORTRAIT
FOR WHITE HOUSE GALLERY
Purchase Now Indicates Belief He'll

Ever Paid for President Portrait.

Washington, June 12.-'For the
purchase for the Executive Mansion
Of oil portrait Of President Taft. in

This item in the sundry civil APP
preparation bill. now under coasid-
Grafton by the House, is rather sig
nificant, and back Of it Is a rather
interesting story. For years it has
been the custom Of Congress to APP
propriate money to buy paintings
of the presidents Of this country,
these paintings to be hung in the
White House.
In the past, as soon as a Presi-
dents term expired. money vas made

however. an unusual departure has
been made by the House Committee
on Appropriations, by appropriating
$4,000 for the, purchase of a portrait
of President Taft before his term has
expired.

House Committee on Appropriations
as to why this money is to be appro-
priated at the present time ELECTED

mittee when asked today why the US
nal custom in regard 10 the purchase
of portraits of President had not
been adhered to in the case Of Pres

1T is the opinion Of the commit

President Taft's last term and the
money should be carried in the bill
for the coming fiscal year, so that af-
ter March 4 next the government
engineer charged with the care of
the Executive Mansion could go
ahead and purchase a portrait of
President Taft without having to
come to Congress with a request for
an appropriation"
1t is also of interest to know that
$4,000 for a portrait is more than
has ever been paid for one to go into
the White House. During the hear
ings on the sundry civil bill it was
stat ed by Colonel Cosby, superin-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds, that $4,000 was a pretty
low estimate for a painting. This
statement resulted in the following
lcolloquy between the Colonel AID
Chairman Fitzgerald:
Mr.. Fitzgerald-lt is more than we
have paid to anybody else. The sum
of $4,000, think, is the highest
amount ever paid, and that ~as the
Isum paid to Sargent.
Colonel Cosby-Yes; that Is right.
And Sargent is a splendid artist. He
did the portrait for $500, although
his usual price is 10000.
Mr.. Fitzgerald know; but the
opportunity to have such a portrait
hung in the White House Is an in
ducement and these artists have been
very anxious to obtain the right to
make them.

Will War on Mosquitoes.

Philadelphia, Par-An effort to
interest the public in the municipal
war n mosquitoes is being made by
Director Cooke of the Department of
Public Works, and Director Neff, Of
the Department of Health and Chart
ties, and a general appeal is being
sent out to have the cooperation Of
the resident in the elimination OF
notwithstanding spots. A limited
appropriation is available in both de-
partments for the drainage OF stag
nant pools, the hlliHs of mud holes,
and the use Of oil where the water
cannot be eliminated. Discussing the
plan Of crusade Director Neff had
this to say: Comprehensive plans
are being formulated by the Depart
ment Of Public Works, in connec-
tion with the Bureau of Health, for
the ultimate elimination Of moS4ui-
toes. The engineering problems can
hardly be solved in time to make
these plans fully effective or ,Ie
coming summer. Much of the ha.a-
ance, however, can be eliminated ii
eitizens will fully cooperate and
take some simple precautions, as
there is nothing miraculous about
mosquitoes. 1t is not too much to say
that if every citizen ceased to help
on the breeding of mosquitoes by
water and little pools in the pave
ment Of their yard or garden, as a
breeding ground, this alone would re-
duce the mosquito pest in Philadel-
phia during the summertime in the
most amazing way, even If nothing
were done on a large scale.

The Immigrant in New England

Contrary to a common belief. there
are probably more foreigners in New
England than any equal sized sec
tion OF America. Not only are there
more foreigners, but possibly more
i%lliterates. Boston itself, the much
heralded city Of intellectually, the
home of the highbrow and the baked
bean, Is a city with an enormous
immigrant population.
New England is a huge shop. Its
agricultural area is constantly
dwindling. From Rhode Island on,
one encounters a network of indus
trial villages.
Whole cities are devoted to cotton
and wooden mills. In others. prac-
tically every family Is dependent up
on shoe factories.
The recent strikes at Lawrence
forced upon the country a realiza-
tion Of the enormous number OF Eur
.opean laborers working in New Eng
land. The whole northern seaboard
is rapidly changing into a miniature
old world.
The student Of economies must
give the matter deliberation. The
owner of farm lands must realize
that the Germans, Irish and Scandin-
a~vians, who in former years hasten
ed to the fields, are reaching our
shores in fewer numbers. and that
the Slav, the Italian, the Russian.
and the Hun now constitute the bulk
of our new citizens.
These races are ~clinging to the
t%cities. The development of untitled
areas will not be at their hands. Our
agricultural are more and
more dependent upon the energy OF
native Americans.
This is not a healthy situation.
III Is economically unwise. We must
not admit a percentage of consumers
in disproportionate ratio TO food pro-
ducers. Sooner or later. Congress

Prevention Bureau Reduced Fires 20
Per Cent.

New York, n. Y.-The Executive
Committee of the Master Builders
Association Of New York City,
through it's attorney, Frank M. Pat
terson, has written to Mayor Gaynor
commencing the work don't by the
new Fire Prevention Bureau. Since
October 10, 1911" says Mr.. Patter-
son. the number of fires has decreas-
ed about 20 per cent, which means
a considerable saving to the insur-
ance companies, and which in turn
should eventually mean lower rates
of insurance and property Wners.
IT is estimated by the Master Build
ers' Association, which has made a
thorough examination Of this subject,
that within a few years time this
bureau should be able to cut down
the number of fires at least 40 per
cent. Thus far 1852 buildings have
been equipped with fire escapes, and
alterations to stairways and exits
in compliance with provisions OF the
new law have been made in 327
buildings. Fire appliances have been
installed in 436 buildings. The own
Iers of 973 buildings have been COM
pelIed TO emove rubbish and other
it,
inflammable material from their
buildings"
