towards Beresford was touching.

all his earnings to Beresford. All he
asked was to remain with the only

BUG NOT BOIL WEEVIL.
EntomOIogist Clears Away All Doubt
and Fear.-Only Pea Pest.

Bennettsville, May 22.-Runors
were sent out from Bennetsville the
last few days to the effect that cot
ton boil weevil had appeared in this
county. The news, Of course, spread
very rapidly and caused more or less
anxiety. 1t has been found that the
weevi. that caused this report was
nothing but the cow pea pod weevil.
In order to be sure though. Prof.
Thomas Field, entomologist of South
Carolina experiment station, was
called in to give an expert opinion,
and after examination promptly
classed the weevil as "Chalcodermis
aenssa." or "cow pea pod weevil."
jonas W. Thomas, colored farm
er Of this county, went to the section
where the Meevi! had appeared aid
he at once recognized it as the pea
bug. Other intelligent planters were
also satisfied IS to the identity of the
weevil, cut the reports apparently

formed gained considerable circula-
ton.
The pea weevil sometimes feeds
upon the very early cotton until the
peas appear, and very often is found

FARM PROSPERITY.

Washington, May 22.-South Car
olina and other Southern States were
among the last to accept the teach
ings of the government that scientific
agriculture means greater crops F."
said William w. Long, State agent and
superintendent of extension work at
Clemson college, here today. "But
the farmers of South Carolina have
come to understand and appreciate
what the United States agricultural
department through it's scientists is
endeavoring to do for them. The agri-
cultural situation in the State today
is exceedingly favorable. While the
cotton acreage is not increased, there
is great interest in growing grasses
for hay and the diversifcation of
crops.
''The department in Washington is
cooperating with Clemson college and
under this cooperation the two in
stitutions are carrying out. very sue
cessful demonstration in hay. There
was producing last year in Anderson
county on one of the demonstration
farms 1905 pounds of cured hay
per acre and in Abbeville county 12,-
300 pounds of cured hay per acre,
showing conclusively that hay can be
produced successfully in the State
The production in the counties named
is among the largest yields ever
known in this country"

he called attention to the fact that
everyone of the seven was present !
and that most Of them were men
who had been very prominent in
the affairs of the Elks in this State
He enjoyed the social aspects of
Elkdom, but warned the brethren
that lodge which unduly empha-
sized it's social features but neglect
ed the higher and broader aims Of
Elkdom would soon lose ground.
John Cart of Orangeburg, said his
nsdgsa had only 20 members, but
each member was most emphatlcal-
" an Elk and thai the lodge feature
was especially emphasized in the
city on the Edisto.
Geo. D. Levy, of Sumter, paid
beautiful tribute to the work of An
drew A. Manning who was primarily
responsible for making out of a
weak lodge in the game-cock city,
the biggest and strongest lodge in
the State. He said Sumter lodge
will be in new quarters by Septem-
ber 10Th. Quarters which will be
credit to the Sumter lodge and the
order as a whole. He praised the
work of L. H. Cary, of Greenville,
which made the State association
possible and told of the good that
the organization of State associa-
ton had already done and would do.
The State association was formed
last year and last year in the Ma
tional convention on in Portland was
the first time that South Carolina
really appeared upon the map OF
Elkdom. Because of the amalgamat-
ing spirit fostered by the State or
ganization the Palmetto delegates
to Portland were welded together
as State organization tht made it
really CONSPICUOUS.
Two Ministers.
Rev. N. A. Hemrick, a Baptist
minister of Newberry, was called
on, and told of the reasons why he
was glad he was an Elk, though his
Joining had been criticised at the
time. He knew that the principles
of Elkdom, if he attempted to live up
to them would make him better cit
izen, minister and family man.
Rev. K. G. Finlay, the chaplain
was called on by the convention and
made beautiful speech in which
he lauded the principles of Elkdonn
and warned the brethren not to let
the social side become their real OBJ
ject.
At 10 D. m. the lodge adjourned
until today.
S. M. Wolfe, of Anderson, report
ed his lodge in splendid condition.
1t was organized on July 81, 1910,
with 1s members and now has 95;
1t has lost only members by death.
1t has bought lot and is planning
to build a home He claimed for W.
L. IBrissey, of the Anderson lodge,
credit for originating the expression
''Is Everybody Happy?" which is
now as familiar throughout Elkdom
as the famous Hello Bill"
AS no Charlestonian was present
to respond for the City by the Sea,
District Deputy Dominick stated
that when the State association was
organized last year Charleston
would not join because of dissatis-
faction with the conduct of a prev
ious organization of that sort, but
that recently he had the pleasure of
officially attending a meeting of the
Charleston lodge, at which il unani-
mously and enthusiastically voted to
affiliate.

Meetings of the railroad and trans

will be held within the next few days
and 1t is generally rumored that things
are going to be started by the former
committee.
Reports are to the effect that Bir-

elimination by certain railroads against
this city have gone far enough and that
this is the subject to be taken up and
handled with spirit by the chamber
committee A committee of the Board
of Trade now has the matter of ex-

is probable that an attorney and n
committee will go to Washington before
long and lay Birmingham's claims be-
fore the interstate commerce commits

The matters to be taken up by the

uIous In Birmingham when compared
with rival cities of about the same

APPROVE PLANS FOR

Architect Instructed to Ad-
vertise for Bids for
New Wing

Plans for the addition and improve
proved yesterday by the board of reve-
nue. and Architect Harry Wheelock in
structed to advertise for bids for the
work. The plans approved yesterday
present building on the side next to
the Cox property. The new wing will
conform to the present building. as when
it was first erected the architect con-
templated future enlargement and the
side of the building next to the alley was
left for that purpose.
When the addition is completed 1t will
make the building uniform on both sides
and will add much to its architectural
symmetry and beauty, it is said The
new wing will almost double the present
capacity of the hospital and relieve the
pvercrowded condition. No change is
contemplated at this time in the Cox
building which is now used as a dormi-
tory for the nurses, but in the future
the board will convert the building into
wards for contagious and infectious dis
eases
The board of control of the Hillman
hospital went over the plans with Mr.
Wheeock yesterday and gave them their
| Endorsement, after which they were pre-
| sented to the board of revenue for their
approval and acceptance was made.

FUSE GOES OUT AND
SAFE CRACKERS FLEE
Charge of NitrOglycerin
Found i'm Hood & Wheel
er's Safe Door

A narrow escape from the skill of pro-
terday morning, when the furniture store
of Hood & Wheeler, 2012 Third avenue,
was opened for business. Mr.. Wheeler of
the firm with several employees discov-
cred three thick elderdown comforts
hanging over the company's big safe.
Several holes had been drilled in the
door and one of its combinations was
torn off The police were notified at once
Further investigation brought forth the
fact that the door of the safe was
charged with nitro-glycerin and that
only the fact that the fuse had burned
off a few inches from the charge had
prevented an explosion The detectives
who investigated are satisfied that it was
an attempt at safe cracking by experts
but that they must have been frightened
off before they could reight the fuse
after it went out.
The -glycerin In the safe was
removed after several hours work by
Samuel Rand of the jefferson Powder
company and after a time the door OF
the safe was finally opened. The s70t
in the vault was found to be intact
1t is thought that the safeblowers en-
tered the store early Sunday night, as
Mr. Wheeler went to his place of busi-
ness about o'clock Sunday night and
discovered the rear door open. He noti-
fled the police, but they discovered moth
ing and after fastening the rear door he
left for home.

NORWOOD MATTER
TO COME UP TODAY
Beatty Says He Will Tell
Commission the Whole
Story

The Norwood franchise problem will
perhaps attract unusual attention at the
commission meeting this afternoon. For
1t was stated yesterday by l. Groom
Beatty, general manager of the Realty
company, that he had invited A. H.
Ford president of the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company to the
meeting, where Mr. Ford will have the
opportunity of hearing Mr.. Beatty tell
the commission the truth about the
refusal of the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company to accept The
franchise and build the line" Whether
Mr.. Ford will be present is problematical
but it is said the chances are favorable
to his presence at the meeting.
The Kelley interests at the eleventh
hour have been asked to take the fran
chise. it is said that was turned down
by Mr. Ford. That the Kelley interests
want the franchise is given out by Mr..
Beatty. He says that a contract will
be signed if the commissioners will trans
fer the franchise to the Kelleys. now
that the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company will not build the line.
1t is asserted that the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company does not
care for the franchise because of the
condition relative to other lines using the
branch The Kelleys would likely want
to use it. so it is said.
Mr.. Beatty, who is working to get
Transportation facilities for the residents
of Norwood which he placed on the mar
ket, said last night that Mr.. Ford had
turned down the franchise and that he
(Mr. Beatty intended to relate the whole
story at the meeting this afternoon.
