Total receipts of the state department

fiscal year ending September 80, last,
were $161,946, according to the fiscal
report of Capt. Reuben f. Kolb, COM
ernor O'Neal today. The increase in re-
ceipts over the preceding year was
marked only by greater sale of fer
tilizer tags, which showed an. excess
for 1913 over 1912 of $3.50. In other
respects. the receipts for the two years
were practically the same
The department sold during the year
| fertilizer tags to the extent of $751;
$50. Receipts from registrations issued
were $11,535 and from licenses isseud
$1261. The office expenses of the de-
partment were $4380.66.
In submitting his report to the gov
ernor, Captain Kolb calls attention to
the demage done by the boil weevil In
the state during the past year. The
damage was particularly noticeable in
southern and middle western counties
of the state.
with a rigid quarantine on, it made
fight last season of appro ximately
20 miles, and should 1t make the same
progress this season, it will entirely
cover the southern tier of counties.
Captain Kolb declares that great
strides are being made by the farmers

New York, October 17.-There was a

International authority placing the cror
at only 13,50o,0OO bales, coming eolnci-
dentally with settlement of the English
Dor troubles and a renewal of unsettled
weather with threats of frost In the
southwest proved the signal for fresh
buying movement. The tendency to in
crease estimates of the yield noted dur
ing the progress of the decline had been
based chiefly upon favorable reports from
the eastern belt and a feeling that the

aggerated. This weeks advices, how

fered more severly than previously sup
posed, with some advices claiming that
the buyers of English firms are moving
from the southwest into the eastern belt,
in the hope of securing freer offerings of
high grades.
The census figures, showing active do
mestic mill consumption for the month
of September and comparatively small
stocks in the hands of manufacturers,
We're among the factors on the advance,
in connection with the large exports and
comparatively heavy spinners' takings.
The advance in the Bank of England
discount rate, however, attracted some
adverse comment, while trade advices
from abroad have remained of rather a
bearish average and those who oppose
advances are influenced to some extent
by prospects for larger foreign crop this
season. According to the latest estimates

borhood of 100000 canters, while the In
dian yield is expected to furnish 275 900

Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, whose

be of much value in the trial.
Several years before the war between
the states Professor Eaton came to
Greenville and taught school here and
Rear Admiral Eaton was born. It is very
difficult to get Information, as at that
time the medical board did not keep rec
ords as are kept now. Also. few years
after the Butler county court house was
destroyed by fire and all records were
burned. including educational records. A
very few citizens who lived here ct that
time can be found now, but one of the

methods of fghting the boil weevil In

chants and farmers are also alert. 1t is
not thought that Il large amount of dam
age will be experienced by the county
financially, from the invasion of the boil
weevil. but to prevent this, CO. operation
will have to be made by all. A car load
of dirt from Montgomery county has
been received by Greenville farmers to
