the testimony of a man confessedly
afraid to come into South Carolina,
and deplored what he termed the pre-.
election effort, which had not succeed
ed, to convict Blease of being man
who would sell pardons and would
sell his Office for money. Col. Dickert
said if he believed Blease was a cor
rupt man he would not support him,
but that he did not believe it. He said
that he had never seen one blot upon
the governors escutcheon, and he paid
a high tribute to Governor Blease.
At subsequent meeting, in telling
why he was for Blease, Col. Dickert
said, among other things:
''I stand to him because he stood
with US when they brought Hampton
back from Mississippi to lead the Red
Shirts from the mountains to the sea,
and when Hampton was about to be
thrown down by Jno. L. NJ. Irby, Cole.
L. B]ease stuck to him in the. caucus
ard only went to Irby when his party
went to him. I stick to him because
he has been true to his people and
has done more for the poor man than
any other man who has offered them
his service"
Who Col. Dickert Is.
Col Dickert is a gentleman known
not only throughout Newberry coun-
ty and South Carolina, but he is
known by reputation throughout the
country. He is the author of several

PRESIDENT TAFT SHOCKED"
Felt Himself Personal Friend oi
Late Emperor.

Washington, July 29.-Upon learn
ing of the death of the meperor OF
Japan, here, President Taft dictated
the following statement:
II am greatly shocked at the death
of the emperor of Japan. 1t has been
my good fortune to have met the en-
peror as many as half dozen times
and to have come into such relations
with him as his guest as to feel that
there was a personal friendship be-
tween us. The emperor was a re-
markable ruler. He was brought to
actual power through the Shotgun re-
bellion and his life has measured the
wonderful growth and expansion of
the japanese Empire.
"The emperor was a hard worker
and gave great attention to matters
of government. His genius for gov
ernment was shown in his selections

'To do. this work.. will require that
the writer of this history shall have
been identified with this command
during it's existence-he must have
been a soldier. Again, he must be a
man who acts up to his convictions;
no toady nor any apologist is desired.
If he was a Confederate soldier from
principle, say so, and apologize to no
one for the fact. If he loved his
State and the Southland and wished
their indepedence, say so, and "for-
get not the field where they perished.' -
Lastly, he ought to have the ability
to tell the story well.
THE friends of Capt, D. Augustus
Dickert, who commanded Company H.
of the Third South Carolina Regiment
of Infantry, are confident that he pos
sesses all the quality essential to this
work. He was a splendid soldier
brave in battle, clear-headed always,
and of that equilibrium of tempera-
ment that during camp life, a1hid the
toll Of the march, and in battle the
necessity for discipline was recogniz-
eG and enforced with justice and i'm
partiality. He was and is patriot. :"
Col. Dickert has been a close stud
ent of political conditions since the
War Between the States, and is one of
the best posted men in the State on
public affairs. A man of strong con-
v:ctions, he has the courage of them.

of generals, admirals and statesmen,
who have reflected glory upon the
Japanese nation.
Rarely in the history of the world
has such progress been seeH or can be
so clearly traced to the ability of GER
tain men who led in it and who were
the emperor's selections and enjoyed
always his support. His distribution
of Offices, honors and titles was made
after careful comparison of the i'm
'portance of the services rendered. Nc

Of Japan in recent years will deny to

cotton fields at that time. The pres
ent pest is likewise thought by many
laymen to be the genuine army worm,
which is also not true. 1t is curious
fact that though these three cater
pillar pests resemble one another a
great deal, they are very different in
their diet habits, as follows. The scot
ton leaf worm" eats only cotton leaves,
the genuine army worm eats any
thing that grows" The "fall army
worm"-the pest which abounds at
present-prefers wild grass, corn, sor-
ghum and millet, but apparently cares
little at all for cotton! These facts
should help to clear the readers mind
in reference to these much confused
pests and enable him to distinguish
between them.
Came Two Weeks Ago.
In this vicinity the "fall army
worm first became noticeble this
season about two weeks ago. A Sc
we're occurrence was reported from
county which was immedi-
ately investigated. A visit to fields
about Anderson revealed it's presence
in considerable abundance in corn
fields on low bottom lands. The
worms had first attacked the crab
grass and when this was devoured

Hardly Any Road at All.

Editor The Herald and News: The
so-called road running west from
Newberry, crossing Bush river near
the Southern railroad, then crossing
the Lewie branch, one fork of it then
going on to Longshore's store and
the other via Zion churcheto the long
bridge over Little river, could hardly
be called the "worst road in Newber-
ry county," because it is hardly any
road at all. It seems to me there is lit
tie excuse for the condition this road
is in. The road bed is so laid that it
could easily be kept in fine condition.
The grand jury has several times
recommended that the road be ditched
at the Lewie branch, so as to keep it
passable in bad weather, but the rec
concentrations of the grand jury have
had no more effect than has the song
of a canary on the race for governor
this summer. The road at the branch
is in terrible fix, and the road becomes
almost impossible when there is rain.
Some time ago the supervisor bor-
rowed a scrape from Mayor Langford,
and this scrape was left in the road
and has disappeared without accom-
plishing anything for the road. A
drag was made, and is lying in the
ditch. Other woodworking, tools, in
stead Of being put to work On the
road, have disappeared, or have been
left lying on the road. No overseers
have been appointed on the road in
two years who have done any work,
and my hands were not warned out
last year at all, and no action has
been taken this year, so far as I know
and so far as my hands know, looking
towards working the road.
The road is full of holes, drains are
filled up, and other bad conditions pre-
vail which could be easily remedied
by little of the proper kind of work,
and the road kept in first class condi-
ton.
1t does seem that when the people
pay taxes they ought to have some
rights.
Mr.. Ben Abrams did run drag over
the road once Or twice in the spring
after the heavy rains, but this is about
all.
The steel bridge across Bush river
has holes in the flooring and needs re-
pairing. This bridge cost the county
a good deal of money, and certainly it
would seem that the supervisor ought
to give some attention to 1t.
Isn't there some way for the peo-
pie on this important road to get some
relief.

In Corn FleldS.
In cases where the "fall army
worm" is at work in fields which are
soon to be cut for fodder, it is not
always advisable to apply poisons di-
rectly to the crop. In such cases the
use of poisoned "bait" is to be strong
ly recommended. In preparing such
"bait" chop into small bits either
grass, corn, cane or anything Of this
nature and stir into it Paris green at
the rate of one pound of poison to
so pounds of the chopped "bait." 1t
may also be sweetened to good ad-
vantage with sugar or molasses. Place
a big tablespoonful of this mixture at
near intervals about the field, placing
lightly over each a small board or
shingle to keep from drying too soon.
The necessity of prompt action at
this time by the farmers can not be
too strongly urged. Many of the
are preparing to form
their coecoons. Out of these cocoons
will come the adult moths which soon
will be flying about laying their eggs
by the millions. 1t is easy to see,

There are microbes that are
menacing the church with dire de-
teats; they're bacilli that produce the
plague entitled Vacant Seats. There
an influence arising from these weary,
dreary pews. that's as pestilential as
the breath OF rank, malarial dews. If
diagnosis we would make Of churches
void of heat, we'd find the mercury
had dropped down in the vacant seat.
The doctors ought to busy get, the
church's health to save, because this
situation is becoming very grave.
Napoleon wished once, it's said, to
break conquered bell; his soldiers
swung their hammers free, and pound
ed hard and well; but firm. uninjured,
strong, 1t stood resisting every
stroke, until til! hit from the INSIDE,
and then, 1t quickly broke. THA
what the church needs most to faAAg
Is not the outside sin. but spineIess,
'ackadaisical inanity within. And that
which blocks and trips the church,
and rolls her down the stair, is the
nominal adherent Who, however, isn't
there. If We could but eliminate this
stunning empty seat. the church would
soar in glorious light, amazingly
complete. There IS a remedy that
works at any time and place; it's ev.

IN his place. If you would give this
