lived in Charlotte, where he made
considerable money in his twin pro-

ciety That Preparation Campaign
e Should Begin at Once.

Columbia, Now 4.-That the boil
weevil will eventually cover the entire
State OF South Carolina. was the opin-
ion expressed last night by A. G..

mating address to the members of the
LeConte Scientific society. Prof.
Moore is q member Of the boil weevil
commission. recently returned from
a trip through the infested States Of
the South. He said that the weevil
would prove a serious factor in the
agricultural and economic life OF the
State and hat a great campaign OF
preparation should begin at once An
account Of the findings of the commits
sion was given by Prof. Moore.
Prof. Moore said that the wcevil
was not like an army. but thai he
would continue as a permanent fac
tor in the agriculture of the State.
He advised that the farmers Of the
State heed the advice of the federal
demonstration agents in combating
the weevil.

DANGER FROM WILD ANIMALS

Few who see wild animals in
cages realize the vast amount of trou-
Die, danger and expense necessary to
set them there. The greatest danger
lies In capturing the wild animals in
;heir native country. With the John
Robinson Shows which will give two
performances In Sumter November 10
there are several hundred wild ami
mails. most Of which were captured
In the forest and jungles OF their ma
tive country.
There Is no o ticklish or dan
serous task than tracking lions in the
vast Nubian deserts. The scorching
sun pours down with such force that
Few men "a stand IT.. The effect on
The eyes is binding. There is little
or no shade. The wariest and most
careful hunter may be tracking an
inimal, and at the same time be
tracked by the animal he is seeking,
who may spring on him at any mo.
ment.
For capturing full-grown lions
large traps of various forms are used.
One trap is square, one of the sides
lifting upon a spring like the old
FASHIONED mouse trap. This trap Is
baited with a piece OF fresh meat, and
rs soon as the lion has entered the
trap the door shuts down and he Is a
prisoner. More than a score of lions
with the John Robinson Circus were
captured In this manner.
Elephants are generally caught in

securely tied to a tree and allowed to
remain there until quiet. Tame ele-
)hants are then brought into use and
appear to be a sort of persuasive in
making the huge animals tractable.
In catching snakes various devices
are used. One is to set the grass on
