discussed the subject at its meeting in
the public library yesterday afternoon.
"Workingmen in this country might
earn much more ii the flicker was un
molested," one member said. Fifty
six per cent of the insects found in the
craw of this bird are ants. Ants fur
nish breeding grounds for the aphis, or
plant louise. which destroys enormous
quantities of growing wheat in this na-
ton"
So rapidly do aphides multiply that
It has been estimated that they would
cover the earth a foot deep in ono
month if they were allowed to breed
unmolested.
And the bluejay-it really isn't
naughty IL often fights other birds
and sometimes kills one or two and it
may eat cherries. But careful ex-
animation of 800 dead bluejay stom-
achs showed that of the cherries which
those birds had eaten all were infected
with the curculio, a deadly parasite to
fruit Blueiays often pick the para
site OFF the fruit and leave the sound

The women Of the humane society
presented these facts as their argu-
ment for protecting the birds:
The stomach of a quail was found
to contain l06 potato bugs; that of
another quail 500 chinchbugs. One
cukoo had eaten 4s caterpillars; an
other cukoo 217 webworms. The

TuLMAN LEAVES FOR HOME.
Says Many Congratulated Him on
Stand in GubernatOrial Race

Washington, August "A. Special:
Senator Tilman left Washington this
evening for his home. When seen be-
fore his departure he said:
81 have received numerous tele-
grams to-day from all classes and
types of former Tillmanites, ants,
Haskellites, Jonesites and Bleaseites,
all congratulating me on my statement
given the press last night. | knew be-
fore issued the statement that many
of my old friends would be sore, but
after they think it over and under
stand fully what l have done they
will stand by me and for the best
interests of the people of South Caro-
lima.
'The telegram that has given me
most satisfaction was from my son
Henry C. Tillman, of Greenwood,
which is as follows: Don't know what
effect Ferguson letter will have on
you, but would rather see you defeat
ed right than elected wrong"

the cooperation they receive from the
farmers along their line. In order to
get the best results from this public
spirited work of the Atlantic Coast
Line. it will be necessary for our fac-
mers who have suitable products for
this exhibit, such as native forage,
corn, small grain, good samples OF
fruits and vegetables put up in glass,
to communicate at once with E. n.
Clark, Wilmington, N. c.. They are
also very anxious to borrow or buy a
few good agricultural views.
AS they will leave Wilmington, Au-
gust 9th, with their exhibit, it is very
important that you communicate with
them at once if YOU have anything that
you think is of SPECIAL interest.

Moved the Sea to a City.

London Answer.
Though it is 1S years since the Man
chester ship canal was inaugurated,
few people beyond the radius of
Lancashire realize the Importance OF
this great inland waterway, that car
ries ocean-going ships into the heart
of one of our largest cities.
The ship canal is trifle more than
thirty-five miles in length, and has a
depth of twenty-six feet, whilst it is
800 feet in width, or as wide as the
Suez. In places the canal is. s.sixty feet
above sea level, and it cost consider
ably more than $75,OO0,OOO to build.
In cities like Bristol, Ipswich or
Chatham, approached as they are by
tidal waterways, one expects to find
ships, but hardly in city more than
forty miles from the open sea.
The biggest canal in existence is
that connecting Pekin and Canton in
China, 1000 miles in length, The Suez
canal is ninety-nine miles long, the
Caledonian sixty miles, and in Great
Britain and Ireland the inland water
ways total no fewer than 1907 miles,
more than 5000 of which are in Eng
land.

The campaign meetings for COVER

From the kilograms and long dis

it will be condemned by the people of
South Carolina On Tuesday next, who

A TREMENDOUS MAJORITY.
Slaton Gets Biggest Primary Vote in
History of Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, August 22-Returns
today from almost every county in
the State indicate that John NJ. Slaton
was nominated fer Governor in yester-
days Democratic State primary by the
largest majority in the history of
Georgia. 1t is possible that his popu-
lar vote will be near 100000 out of
about 10000 cast.
Contrary to early reports, late re-
turns this afternoon showed that Re-
preventative Charles L. Bartlett had
been reelected from the sixth Con-
gressional district by plurality of
92, four counties, Crawford, Jasper,
Jones and Bibb with a majority of
units, being credited to hip. J. W.
Wise, one of his opponents, carried
the remaining counties in the district,
while John Cooper carried none.
Returns canvassed up to tonight left
the race for the Office of State COM
missioner of agriculture still in doubt
and it is possible that official returns
may be necessary to determine the
winner. James D. Price was leading,
according to today's returns, with J. j.
Brown and A. o. Blalock following G
in order.
Owing to the length of the ballot,
it is probable that complete unofficial
returns will not be available until to-
morrow.
Official returns received tonight
show that Col Randall aWlker has
received the congressional nomination
in the 18th district, defeating Judge
T. Parker, of Waycross.
Although early returns indicated
the defeat of Nash R. Broyles for
Judge of the State court of appeals,
Official returns show that he has de-
feated Judge J. R. Pottle, of Early,
by large majority.

Advertising the Resources Of the
South i'm the West.

The agricultural and immigration
department of the Atlantic Coast Line
is getting up an exhibit of farm pro-
ducts, vegetables and fruits and will
take this exhibit to the West the latter
part of this month, to be shown at var
ious Western State fairs, with view
of showing the resources of the ter
ritory through which this. line op-
crates.
They have had one of their new
steel-framed express cars overhauled
and painted up in a suitable manner
for the purpose Of Transporting the
exhibit.
They have also advertised in the
farm papers of the West, and in the
local papers at the points where the
exhibits will be made, and it is eX-
pected that their exhibit will attract
a great deal of attention, and should
be the means of bringing great many
settlers to the Nations Garden Spot"
Messrs. Wilbur Mccoy, agricultural
and immigration agent, Jacksonville,
Fla, and E. n. Clark, agricultural and
immigration agent, Wilmington, N. c.,
will be in charge of this exhibit They
will distribute illustrated literature
giving information about the South,
and will, no doubt, be called upon to
answer numerous questions.
