nearly 10000 operatives in the cotton
and woien mills were active yester-
day organizing their followers in an
effort to keep them from returning

by both sides is likely to be the crit
ical day of the two weeks strike.
Many operatives are beginning to
feel the pinch of hunger and the sew
ere cold which has gripped the city
almost every day since the trouble be
gan has added to their suffering. so
that toward the latter part of last
week there we're assertions from the
ranks OF the strikers. On Saturday
although there was a half-holiday in
the mills. the assertions became still
more numerous. At four mass meet
ings yesterday and at three more
last night the strike leaders devoted
their time to urging their followers

MAY PASS STEEL BILL TODAY
Democrats Expect Favorable coall-
ton in Senate

Washington, Jan 29.-The demo
cratic steel bill probably will pass
the House today. Majority leaders
claim to have assurances that 1t will
have the support Of the republican
progressives in the Senate. Informal
conferences seem to have developed
that the democratic-progressive re-
publican coalition which sent the
tariff revisions of the special session
to President Taft for his veto will
again prevail. Senator Penrose,
chairman OF the Senate finance COM
mittee, is being bombarded with APP
peals for a hearing, from interests
which insist they had no opportun-
lty for one before the ways and
means committee OF the House.
Whether the Senate progressives will
endeavor to line up with the demo-
Gratis and shut of hearings has not
developed.

APEOPLE ON TRIAL.
A Virginia View of Political Con
ditionS In This State.

In the campaign for State offices
now raging (the word is used ad-
visedly) in South Carolina. it is not
so much the character of the present
Governor that is on trial as the
qualifications of the electorate for
self-government that are under test.
Without taking for granted that
the latest batch of charges against
Blease are true, including as they
do every species of graft and cor
ruption to which a public official
could descend, x there is
amply enough in the open record of
Blease's administration, in his public
speeches and official utterances and
acts, to prove him utterly unfit to
occupy a representative position in
any community of intelligent and
self-respecting citizens. Coarse, vul-
gar, and demagogue that he is, the
part that he plays must be based on
the belief that he appeals most
strongly to a strong element of the
political constituency on which his
fate depends. That this calculation
is not without basis in fact is evil
denced by the size of the audiences
which greet him in various counties
of the State and by the applause

what benefits are derived from good
roads through our county, especially
thoroughfare routes, which we are

whomsoever's door it leads past, thus
connecting our farmers with home
markets.
Other counties are looking out for

it is simply up to US to protect our
interest. Twelve dollars per mile

be elected, the result must be taken
as a demonstration of the prefer
ence of the people of South Carolina
for a leader of that sort, and the
blame for his misconduct will there
by be transferred from his shoulders
to theirs.
To an outsider it would seem in
credible that Commonwealth with
such a history and a citizenship with
such an ancestry should be so dis
graced by its own act. Certainly
there are thousands of South Caro-
linians to whom the continuance of
Blease in the seat which has been
honored by Heywards, Hamptons
and Rutledges would be as gall and
wormwood, but these cannot escape
the judgment that they are degen-

they permit the Detailing of such
calamity as the retention of Blease

ARMY WORM IN BARNWELL.
Discovery of Pest Near Black
VILE 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 yester-
day says that in a field of corn,
where they have 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 eradl-
cate the pest and to prevent its
spreading to other fields.
The situation is this county would
be considered extremely grave
should the army worm get beyond
control. The farmers are facing
hard times as it is. for the very un-
seasonable weather 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.

HOW TO EXTERM|NATE
THE FALL ARMY WORM
SAID TO BE NOW INVADING
CROPS IN SEVERAL SEC
T1oNs OF THIS COUNTY.

Several days ago we wrote 10
Clemson College, division OF Ento-
mology, for information on the
army worm or caterpillar that IS
causing the farmers in several Sec
tons of the county considerable un-
easiness Just now, also for measures
to be used against this devastating
a reply to -our request we are
furnished with the following, whlcn'
we feel sure, will be Of much Value
to the farmers, especially those who
are already in immediate danger OF
attack by the worm:
There is in this State and several
other Southern States, an INVASION
of the fall army worm on corn grass
&nd cotton. This caterpillar Is
about l to II inches long when
grown. 1t is quite different from
the cotton caterpillar, although
many farmers mistake the one Tor
other. This insect which is now in
this State is not the cotton cater
pillar which did so much injury TO
cotton last summer, but is the fall
army worm which is sometimes
called the grass worm. The fall
arrny worm is usually present IN
such small numbers that they do no
harm to the crops, but on the other
hand. eat the grass in the fields. 1t
is only when this insect gets abun-
dant that it does harm by eating
grass, corn, peas and cotton. The
weather conditions this summer have
been unusually favorable for its de-
yelopment. Most farmers who have
seen the work of this insect realize
that immediate action is necessary
for the control of the pest.
CONTROL MEASURES.
The two poisons that have given
the best satisfaction so far are
\poRdered arsenate of lead, and
Paris-green. Paris-green cam usual
" be bought at local drug stores,
while as a rule arsenate of lead is
not handled by such dealers. The
arsenate of lead can be secured from
such wholesale dealers and most all
seed houses. A few such firms are
Lamar & Rankin Co, Atlanta, ia;
The Willet Seed Co, Augusta, ia;
WIN Bird & Co, Charleston, 5 Z;
Ehe Murray Drug Co, Columbia, 5
C;SP ] Berckmans Co, Augusta, ia;
Sherwin Williams Co, Savannah, Ga,
Ind all other dealers who handle
such material.
HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THE PoIsoNs.
NAbout 6 inches from each end of
a board one inch thick and a inches
~-Eide, and II inches longer than the
width of the rows, bore hole one
inch or more in diameter. Cut two
pieces of cloth, 20 IA inches. the

Other supplements have been Of
fered that l could not accept at this
time, same being for roads of less
importance which l could not build
until the main roads are completed,
Some citizens are wont to criticise
this plan, but if they will consider
our past practice of trying to build
all of the roads at one time, | be-
lieve there would be a unanimous
consent in favor of this change and
proportion of patience would exist
in its stead.
Now, one other thought, please
there is also benefit derived from
helping to have more money per
mile with which to build roads and
should not be lost sight Of in weigh
ing this matter, for every road that
IS thoroughly constructed will not
need costly maintenance. Thus we
get portion of this amount passed
to help to construct other routes
and so on, until mathematically we
see at glance that the important
part of any method of road-building
depends upon making a healthy
start, and l believe the supplement
above indicates that this has already
begun in our county. The tax prob
lem for roads is so intricate and the
solution so slow that we cannot af-
ford to delay this beginning, not
withstanding criticisms, Bleaseism
or Jonesism. Very respectfully
