A DEAD COLONEL
(Roanoke (Va.) Times)

Colonel Roosevelt, it is reported,
designs to make his chief fight against
the Democrats party and nominees
and to provoke a controversy with
Governor Wilson. Naturally. The
Colonel is eager to be in the lime
light, on the first pages of the news
papers, under the big headlines. He
does not belong there. He is played
out and worn out. The pubhS g tired
of him. He has ceased to be interest
ing or amusing and cannot startle
anybody. He lags superhous on the
stage, like an actor who has lost his
hold on audiences and with stale
tricks or declamations, familiar pos
turing and frayed costume Essays
vainly to win attention. 1t ls a srick
of the trade in such calamitos condi-
tions to invite controversy and to be
ferocious in assault. Any kind of
abuse or criticism is welcome to the
tame performer or the man who has
lost his grip, so long as his name is
mentioned and he is brought into a
sensation.
Colonel Roosevelt is a job-seeker
who missed his job, after working
hard for it, and bolted his party.
That is familiar object in American
politics. Usually it is an object of
ridicule or of pitying tolerance, the
sooner forgotten, the better. He is
not of size for real nominee for
the presidency of a real party to con-
slider. Let us hope Governor Wilson
will not advertise him by controversy.
He can be dismissed in a few words.
He was president seven years. He
confesses he was anject failure. He
did not give or attempt any of the
reforms he says are necessary. He
fell down on the job while he had it.
He is back number and goes to the
political scrap pile. He is a dead
one. There is no use galvanizing him
into temporary life and prominence
by notice he does not demand as a
ranger merit as a power, or a per-
son of Importance. He is a political
corps trying to be made alive. Raus
NIT him. Let him be hauled, legs
first, out of the arena of live gladia-
tors.

There is certainly no disgrace for
one to wear them if bought and paid
for. Mr.. Blease has the very pleas
ant distinction of having one of the
best dressed wives in South Carolina,
and it is nothing but proper for he
has thousands of dollars to lavish
upon dress. No one blames him in
the least. We only wish we could
treat our poor, faithful wives in this
way.
Understand, I hold no brief for
the mill presidents. They are able
to take care of themselves, and will
do so. l will say, also, that 1 am no
overseer, superintendent or mill own
er, but earn my bread by the labor
of my hands, and by these hands
and by my brain 1 expect to rise in
the mill business and not by antag-
onizing my friends, because I realize
that if 1 ever expect to reach any
positions of trust in the mill busi-
ness it must be because of my own
worth and not because of anything
that C. L. Bleasc can, or will, do for
me.
To the thinking men of the mills
and farms and towns I will say just
this: Take heed where you are GO
ing; the way back is long. Let US
not be lei astray by a demagogue
anl then forsaken to wander blind
ly in a wilderness.

THE COTTON RED SPIDER
Press Bulletin No. LXXXV.

South Carolina Experiment Station.
According to the letters received at
this office, the Cotton Red Spider is
doing considerable damage in many
parts of the State. Owing to the
number of calls for assistance in
checking the ravages of this pest, it
is impossible for man to be sent
to each place.
The Cotton Red Spider is a very
small insect, about the size of chick
en- mite, and is seen only on close OBJ
servation. When plants are infested
the damage is first seen at the base
of the leaf. The leaf turns reddish
in color, and this gradually spreads
over the entire leaf, which soon falls
off. On examining closely the unier
side of the infested leaves, the Red
Spider will be found, sucking TIE sap
out of the leaf. A fine web is made
on the under surface of the leaf, and
beneath this the spiders lay their
eggs, and are supported while feed
ders must crawl from plant to plant
or be carried by some animal, as
the horse or mule while plowing.
AS soon as the damage is noticed,
it is confined to few plants, these
may be pulled carefully, and burnt.
Any plants that are pulled up, and
then left on the edge of the field, will
not check the damage, as the Spider
will soon crawl to fresh plants.
Where the infestation covers too
large an area to warrant the above
procedure, the plants should be
sprayed at once with potassium sui
phid, using three. pounds to 100 gall
Ions of water. 1t is best even where
small area is involved, to use the
above mentioned spray over an area
extending out at least SO feet from
the original place of infestation. In
spraying, be sure that the under sides
of the leaves are covered, as most of
the insects are found there.
The Cotton Red Spider usually
starts from violets, Jamison weed, or
Poke-berry weeds. Violets are usual
ly the starting points and these
plants should be examined frequent
ly and carefully. If the spider is
found on them, they should be spray
ed as recommended for the cotton.
The Jamison weed and the Poke-ber-
ry weeds should not be allowed to
grow any where near the cotton
fields. AS soon as the cotton becomes
infested, the farmer should see that
the above plants are destro yed, not
merely pulled up and left lying on
the ground, but burned. If they are
left lying on the ground, the Red Spi-
der will find it way to the cotton.
Clean culture, by destroying weeds,
especially those mentioned above, and
deep fall plowing, will do much to
check or eradicate this pest. =
The potassium sulphid for the
spray can usually be purchased from
drug stores. If they do not have it.,
they will gladly order it for you from
some wholesale drug company.
