THE GREENWOOD MEETING.
Big Crowd With Divided Sentiment,
and Rain Interrupts.
Spartanburg Journal

| Spartanburg journal.
Greenwood, Aug. 15-The bowling
process was put to work again today
when Judge Jones began his speech, but
when the mayor Of the city and the po-
lice took hand the howIers were quiet
ed. A new aspect of the process" was
brought forth when Joel Woods, Con-
federate veteran, employed in the
Greenwood mill, in a strong voice, call
ed upon the mayor and the police to
make the crowd Of men gathered around
the speakers stand stop the bowling
that was being given Judge Jones.
That's what they came here for
shouted Mr. Woods, referring to the
group Of howlers in front Of the stage,
and he demanded that the policemen do
their duty.
IF these men won't let Jones speak,
we won't let Blease speak" he said.
The mayor of Greenwood, Kenneth
Baker took the stand and demanded
that Mr. Woods and the men who were
making the noise keep quiet and order
ed the police to arrest those who were
disorderly.
I'VE will have order or know why"
shouted Mr.. Baker, and when 1t was
seen that the officers were determined
to have order the mob quieted. Judge
Jones was jeered by those in the imme-
diate vicinity Of the stage, but from the
rear Of the crowd came loud cheers of
approval Of his utterances.
About $500 people heard Jones and
Blease speak here. Judge Jones in his
speech, referred to the Kerr magistrate
cases, saying, You didn't have law
and order when that one-armed Con-
federate veteran Kerr was tried to be
deprived of his office of magistrate"
Governor Blease was greeted with
loud cheers.
Judge Jones was presented with sew
eral handsome floral tributes.
Governor Blease read two letters
which he said were from Senator Till
man, one to the effect that the senator
was "disgusted" at the use the news
papers were making Of his recent let
ter to Mr. Sims Of Orangeburg, and the
other says that who ever said I was
lined up with John Gary Evans or any
body else to beat Governor Blease, does
not know what he Is talking about"
Governor Blease referred to a meet
ing here last Sunday at which he said
Jones was endorsed.
The governor was presented with a

Another shower Of shooting stars was
advertised for Wednesday night; but
the shower did not materialize. There
were only few stray shots, as there

Of the reasons why Mr.. N. B. Dial
thinks that Senator B. r. Tillman
should not be reelected to the United
States senate. The reasons given of
course stand on their own merits.
In looking back in the files Of The
Enquirer, we note that at the state
campaign meeting in Yorkville in 1892
the voters were requested to submit
such questions as they might want to
ask in writing. Long lists of questions
were submitted and duly answered.
The campaign meeting held in York
Vile in 1890 was quite lively affair;
but that Of 1892 was orderly enough.

The Rock Hill Record Of yesterday
contains twelve pages. devoted mainly
to partisan politics, in which The En-
quirer figures quite extensively, especi-
ally as to its utterances in past politi-
cal contests. There Is also included
some comments of the press as to the
present attitude of The Enquirer; but
about the only item that we care to
mention is the following under the
heading; rs He One Of Blease's
Friends?"
You will all recall that Blease fire.
quently says that when he has an Of
flee or honor to bestow, it will always
go to "one of my friends" Now read
this:
columbia, S. c., August 12: Gov
ernor Blease issued today a proclama-
tion calling for contributions for relief
of the Glover storm sufferers, and
naming Editor Grist of The Yorkville
Enquirer as one of those to receive and
disburse the same
AS to whether the editor Of The En-
quirer was selected as one Of the men
to assume the responsibility referred to
because of his alleged friendship to
Governor Blease, he has not sought to
inquire. Having been over a consider
able portion Of the stricken territory,
however, the editor of The Enquirer
realizes that it will be necessary for
somebody to take an active interest in
the distribution of such relief as may
be rendered, and he would hardly feel
justified in declining to perform an Of
flee that he would ask others to per-
form. AS to the other gentlemen on the
committee The Enquirer feels quite
sure that they will be influenced more
by consideration of humanity than con-
siderations Of politics. Further, speak
ing for himself, the editor of The En-
quirer begs leave to say that II the
Record or anyone else desirous Of help
ing those distressed people Is held back
because of reluctance to recognize the
committee appointed by Governor
Blease, there will be no objection to
their proceeding Independently. We
dislike to refer to such a matter but as
the edition of the Record from which
we quote is purely political, evidently
intended for widespread free distri-
button our remarks are hardly out of
place.

The Lancaster News quotes one Of
it's candidates as saying that If "de-
monstrative" colleges can get along
without state aid 1t looks like other
colleges should do likewise. and also
this same candidate is quoted as advis-
ing a bond issue on the ground that
"prosterity" should pay the taxes.
The candidate is a lawyer and a grad
uate Of Wofford college, and why he
should have been quoted like that it is
difficult to see unless it was because
he declined to declare his preference
as between Judge Jones and Governor
Blease.

the point that a party which under

BIG TENTH MAY HAVE
ANOTHER CANDIDATE
Reported That Standpatters Will
Take a Hand in the Congress
sional Contest. -

Des Moines, Feb. 19.-There will
be a Taft candidate for the republic
car nomination for congress in the
Tenth congressional district, accord
ing to advices received at the state
house. There are two insurgent
candidates now in the field for the
acknowledgements Frank P.
Woods, E~stherville, and Speaker
Paul Stillman of Jefferson.
The state house gossip says that
three well known men in that dis
trict are being urged to enter the
race against Woods and Stillman.
Those suggested are Editor Henry
OF the Coon Rapids Enterprise, w.
c. Saule of Carroll. and Mort Whale
of Emmetsburg. Either Of the three
men in the opinion Of those polite
ians is strong enough to carry the
district away from both Woods and
Stillman in a three cornered fight.

PLANS ARE BROACHED

Iowa City, Feb. 19.-Considerable
surprise was experienced in Iowa
City last week when it was discover
ed that by the terms of a decision
of the supreme court, which limited
the bonded Indebtedness of an in
terurban line to $4,000, the pro-
moters of the proposed Iowa City
Ottumwa line, who had planned to
bond their road at $4,000, will be
forced to cut its liabilities by $14,-
900.
Two plans have now been broach-
ed by the projectors Of the Iowa
City-Ottumwa line to overcome the
difficulty presented by the courts
ruling. One is to buy power for the
road instead of constructing power
houses along the right of way and
another plan is to incorporate out
side Of Iowa. The Davenport-Iowa
City line is incorporated in South
Dakota and Is therefore not affected.
It is believed by many that the Of
tumwa line will follow the same
plan.
1t practically has been decided
that the road, when constructed,
will go through Green township of
johnson county and Keota, missing
Wellman, where the necessary stock
has not been subscribed. This has
been a point of dispute for some
time.

Central and Southern Parts of the
State Will Be A. ~
fected.
SAY THEY WILL APPEAR IN MAY
Insects Will Do the Greatest Amount
of Damage to Young
Trees.

Ames, Feb. 19.-The seventeen
year locust is due to appear in Iowa
again this eason R. l.. Webster,
assistant entomologist of the Iowa
experiment station says confidently
that it may be expected. He has
Investigated the records of its occur
enc as kept at the college and he
finds that it has appeared at regu-
lar seventeen-year intervals. The
first record of this interesting pest
was in 1874, next in 1861, then
1878, and last in 1895.
"Just as surely as 1895 plus sew
enteen equals 1912, just as surely"
says Mr.. Webster, "the locust will
visit the state again this year..
According to Professor Webster,
however, so serious damage is to be
expected from the seventeen-year
locust, even though it may appear
in considerable numbers. It's chief
injury is done to young trees on
which the females deposit their
eggs, stunning the growth Of the
branches and twigs.
Farmers, fruit growers and nurs-
erymen who expect to plant trees
this spring." says MI. Webster,
fought to take some preventive
measures against the seventeen-year
locust. Trees are especially liable
to injury when set near timber or
on recently cleared ground. Trees
set in such places either should be
cut severely back at the start so as
to leave no tempting places for the
locust to lay it's eggs, or else they
should be cut back little or not at
all until after the first of July, when
the locusts have disappeared"
According to Mr.. Webster the
eeventeen-year locust will appear
chiefly in the central, south central
and southeastern parts of the state
because there are the districts
which were chiefly infested at the
last. visitation in 1895. The insects
may be expected to apear in the fol-
lowing counties: Adair. Adams, Au-
dubon, Boone, rCass, Dallas, Davis.
Decatur, Des Moines, Greene, Ham
ilton. Henry, Iowa. Jasper, Jeffer-
son, johnson, Keokuk, Louisa, Madi-
son, Mahaska, Marion, Marshall.
Monroe, Muscatine, Polk. Powe-
shiek, Ringgold, Scott, Story, Tay-
Tor, Union, Van Buren,, Wapello,
Warren. Wayne and Webster.
The young locusts should appear
about the last week in May and re-
main about a month, disappearing
about the first of July. They have
been in the soil now ever since
1896. After they were Matched
that year from the eggs deposited
on the twigs and branches Of the
trees the young locusts or nymphs,
rs they are called, dropped to the
ground and made their way into it.
They have lived in the ground con-
-tinuously ever since.
AS o as the frost comes out of
the ground they will come up near
the surface and late in May make
their appearance above the ground.
