Official Eoice Taken of the In.

Some Anderson county farmers

do not know are likely to find out, un-
less the department OF agriculture,
Clemson College and the farmers
themselves succeed in heading off the
invasion of the pest.
Two years ago the worm invaded
South Carolina and would have done
much damage In all sections OF tho
state, had It moi; been almost fall when
the worm appeared and the cotton had
advanced to such a stage that no DAM
age was done. However, the worm Is
here this year in time enough to do
damage and from all appearances and
indications at thic time, 1t behOovcs
every farmer to take preventive steps
ut once. The following order relative,
to the invasion of this state has been
issued by the department of agr:cul-
ture:
There are in this state and several
other southern states an invasion OF
the fall army worm on corn, grass and
cotton. This caterpillar is about one
to one and one ala1f inches long when
grown. It is quite dilfcront from the
cotton caterpillar, although many
farmers mistake the one for the other.
This Insect, which Is now In this statc,

Says Japs Are A Menaca.

Washington, Feb. Before
the House immigration Committee
immigration Commissioner Cami-
netti declared that "Asiatic immi
grafton has become menace to the
entire country. The danger is gen
eral, he insisted, "and no part of
the United States is immune.
There is no question but that the
Japs are getting in surreptiously.
They are increasing in number in
this country, the present number
being double that of FIVE or six
years ago" The federal official
urged that congress provide border
and water patrols before the ad-
journment of this session, as it is
impossible now to prevent illegal
immigration across our northern
border. 1t was stated that Japan

use this route.

To Probe Perre marquette

Washington February 27.-Con
gresham Cramton has introduced
d resolution for an investigation of
the Pere Marquette Railway system
by the Interstate Commerce Com
missisn. A strike of federated shop
employees has been on since May 28
1913, because of low wages. The
system is in the hands of receiver
and every effort on the part of
workers to settle the trouble has
failed. 1t is claimed the railroad
has become demoralized, and the
rolling stock and equipment has
reached such condition that state
officials report more people have
been killed and injured on this sys-
tenn than on any other Michigan
line during the year 1913 The
workers and sympathizers have
been circulating petitions for an in
vestigation, which is being support
ed by all classes of citizens.

Must Say Strike Is On.

New York, Feb. 27.-At the re-
quest of the Central Federated Up-
ions, Senator Boylan has intro
duced bill regulating advertise
ments and solicitations for employ
ees during strikes and lockouts.
The bill was drawn by Frank Sui
livan attorney for the central body,
and provides that any advertise
ments for workers during strikes
or lockouts shall contain these
facts. Another section provides
that when a worker seeks employ
ment in factory where a strike or
lockout is on, The management
shall state such facts to the appli-
cant in his language or native
tongue. The bill is intended to
end the practice SO common among
certain manufacturers of inducing
workers to come to struck locali-
ties.

Sunburry, Penn. Feb. 27.-Fed-
eral Judge Wilmer has decided that
unnaturalized persons can only sue
railroad company in the district
court of its residence, and can not
sue in states where it does busina SIS
through agents. An alien aud his
wife sued the Erie railroad for
damages, and the company's at
torneys asked that the suit be dis
missed, as the plaintiffs were sub
jects of the Car of Russia, and
the defendant company can only be
sued in the district court of New
York, where it is chartered. This
position was upheld by Judge Wit
ner.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27. On behalf
of Springfield, Mass. Metal Polish
ers, on strike against the Indian
Motorcycle Company, the Interna
tional union has issued a circular
in which the Motorcycle manage
ment is put in the position of re-
fusing to arbitrate and being cen
sured by the Massachusetts, State
Board of Arbitration for violation
of the postal rates of wages. The
Metal Polishers struck last month
because of wage reductions that
amounted to $1.10 day. One
hundred and twenty men are in
volved. The company's claim
that they will violate their agree
ment with the Metal Trades asso-
citation, if they arbitrate, is not
agreed to by the State Board
which shows that this agreement
Is not binding because the employees
are not a party to it. The board
says tnat the attitude of the en-
ployer is not one which makes for
industrial peace, and that it (the
Indian Motorcycle company is re-
sponsible for the continuation OF

Walsh said None can see this
