Double TRAGEDY.

The body of Mrs. Katy Wbisnant,
the young widow, who last week at

DR.. Guy O. Brinkley dead in his office
was taken to Sylvania, Ca, for inter
ment.
DR.. Brinkley will be buried in Suf-

FOUND IN THIS STATE-FEDERAL
ENToMOLOGlsT THINKS he
HAS SPECIMEN.
WAS CAUGHT IN COLUMBIA
A Difference That Exists Between
This and the True Army Worm, Mr..
LuginbiII Says.-How to Get Rid OF
This Pest.

'CoIumbia.-What was supposed to
be the fall army worm was found on
the university campus recently by
Phillip Luginbill, the federal entomol-
ogist for the states OF Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina. The worms are
very small, and it Will be several days
before the government official can de
termine just what they are.
There is a difference between the
true and the fall army worm. The fall
army worm feeds largely upon grass,
letting cotton and corn alone as long
as there are blades of grass in its
pathway. The true army worm is
more general or omnivorous feeder,
devouring any green stuff that II
comes upon. Mr.. LuginDnl went to
st. Matthews again to Investigate
conditions there. The true army
worm was found in that part OF the
state several weeks ago, feeding upon
vetch.
The entomologist is devoting his
time now largely to studying the
greater corn stalk borer. This insect
burrows into the heart Of the stalk
and gradually eats its way downward
to the base, leaving only a hollow
shell. A patch of sweet corn was de-
stroyed by this pest within past few
weeks on the state farm, about seven
miles north of Columbia. A report
came from Newberry Of a half acre
being infested there.
One method of destroying the pest
is crop rotation When the stalk dies
in the fall the borer remains In the
dead stalks. and if the same land Is
planted in corn the following year the
borer pupates, and again the field is
infested. The safest plan is to pull
the stalks up by the roots and burn
them, as the borers are often down at
the very base.
Farmers who find infected plants in
their crops should write directly to
the chronological laboratories in La
Conte college at the state university.

But They Didn't.

Oh, Harry came along the lane,
And he was very late;
He hurried on to Glitch the traiG,
And had no time to wait,
He must hasten He must hasten
But against the pane
He caught glimpse of Katie,
And he didn't, he didn't, he didn't.
Oh, Katie had her doughnuts cut;
The sponge was light as air;
Her pies were in the oven shut.
And needed all her care:
She must give them every moment,
But she spied young Harry there,
And she didn't, she didn't, she didn'l.
Oh, Harry stopped, and spoke a word,
And spoke it very low,
And yet I think that Katie heard,
And still believed it SO.
THO all the while the youth averred
That he would have TO &C,
But he didn't, he didn't, he didn't.
Oh, Katie said the fire was warm,
And she was likely to drop,
And Harry seemed to think his arm
Was needed as prop;
And Katie was in such alarm
She said that he must stop:
But he didn't, he didn't, he didn't.
And as he held her to his breast,
And thought of all he'd missed,
With Katie waiting in her nest,
Just longing to be kissed,
He bent his head, her face was hid.
