der has already made It's appearance
in Oconee, this being about one
month earlier than usual. The spi-
der is easily controlled If it Is looked
after from the very beginning, and
Mr.. Barnett states that its appear
ance can be readily detected if fields
are closely observed at frequent in
tcrvals. Red spots on the upper side
Of the cotton leaves will be found to
indicate that on the under side Of
those leaves the adult spiders that
survived the winter season have de-
posted the eggs that will soon pro-
duce the plague of young spiders.
These red-spotted leaves should be
picked off and burned in order to con-
troll the pest. Mr.. Barnett's warning
is contained lin the following brief
statement:
Cotton fields infested with the red
spider have been found In different
parts or Oconee county. AS it is very
early IN tho season for red spider
trouble, it would be well for farmers
to be on the lookout for infested cot
ton. The work Of the spider Is first
noticed by the appearance OF large
red spots on the cotton leaves.
'Remcdy.-Pick off and burn in
tested leaves as soon as possible.
Spraying with limc-sulphur may be
best in some eases. Notify county
agent If in doubt as to best method
OF controlling"

MRS. /. G. LEE DEAD.
End Came at Columbia Last Saturday
After Very Brief Illness.

The many Oconee friends Of Mrs.
/. G. Lee will be grieved to learn of
her death, which occurred in Colum-
bia last Saturday morning, following
an attack Of only about 48 hours
duration Of diarrhoea. A number of
years ago Mrs. Lee spent much of her
time in Walhalla with her sister, the
late Mrs. w. G. Keith, and among
other relatives, but in later years had
made her home in Newberry and CO.
lumbia with her daughter, Mrs. w.
A. McSwain, resident Of Newberry
up to the time Of her death q few
years ago, and with her son, Lucius
B. Lee. Of Columbia, with whom she
was living at the time Of her death.
Mrs. Lee was born in Pickens Dis
trict March Is, 1886, and was at the
time Of her death little more than
80 years of age. she was a daughter
of the late Samuel and Caroline
Reid, who raised large family of
children, two of whom are still liv-
ing, these being George T. Reid, Of
Chappels, and Mrs. S. Il. Shelor, of
Anderson. She is also survived by
one son, Lucius B. Lee, Of Columbia.
Mrs. w. D. Moss, Of Walhalla, Is a
niece Of the deceased. Her husband
died in 1886, his body being inter-
red In the Baptist cemetery In Wal
halla. The interment of Mrs. Lees
remains was made by the side of her
husband last Sunday afternoon about
O'Clock. The body was brought
from Columbia on the afternoon
train, the funeral procession going
| direct from the depot to the ceme-
terry. Many friends Of the deceased
| and members of the family gathered
at the depot and followed the re-
mains to the grave.
Mrs. Lee was staunch and con-
sistent member Of the Presbyterian
church, her membership having been
held at Old Pickens, with which
church she had been identified for
many years. She was a good wo-
man, kindly disposed toward all,
charitable toward the frailties Of hu-
manity, ever ready to lend assist
ance to those in trou BILE and to cOun-
sci and advise with motherly wisdom
those Of younger age. 1t was the
daily exercise Of these characteristics
that endeared her to all who knew
her and made of her every acquaint-
ance firm friend.
Among the relatives from dist
ance who attended the funeral Sun
day were Lucius B. Lee, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Calk, Columbia; Mrs. S. K.
Shelor and family, JOS. r. Shelor and
wife, Capt. and Mrs. J. r. Anderson,
OF Anderson; Mrs. l.. r. Webb, of
Washington, D. G.; Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Il. Reid, w. r. Keith. Mrs. J. l..
Webb, Greenwood; Geo. T. Reid and
family, Calhoun; E. 7. and Lucius
b. .McSwain, Newberry; Bachman
and Thos. Ramsay and families, Of
Pickens county. All returned dur
Ing Monday and Tuesday to their
homes.
The sympathy of many goes out to
the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
The deceased was well known all
over Oconee, and there are indeed
FEW sections Of our county in which
she was not known and in which
there will not be some one who knew
her to mourn with loved ones in her
passing.

1915 AMERICAN CASUALTIES
Since Americans Entered Actively III
Great World War.

washington, June 9.-Casualties
among the American expeditionary
FORCES thus far reported by Gen. Per-
sh!ng. including to-day's list, total
7,3 3, the War Department announc-
cd to-day in making public the first
or regular weekly summaries Of cas-
ualties. Deaths in action and from
wounds. diseases, accidents and all
other causes number 2.527, while t.
046 men have been wounded and 342
are missing in action, including men
held prisoners in Germany.
Tho departments recapitu!ation
follows:
Killed in action (including 291 at
seal, 1893; died Of wounds, 80;
died Of disease. 1,192; died Of acct
dents and other causes. 392; wound
ed in action. 4.046; missing in ac-
tion Oncluding prisOners), 342. To-
tai. 7,315.
While no official explanation was
given for the decision Of the depart
ment to advise the country weekly Of
the exact total Of casualties since the
landing Of the first American forces
in France last June, 1t Is understood
that it resulted largely from wide
spread reports that casualties had
been very heavy and that total figures
were being withheld from the public.
1t has been explained at the de-
partment that the daily list sent by
Gen. Pershing Is issued with as little
delay as possible. The casualties are
so scattered in the lists that they
DO not give information Of value to
the enemy, but this does not mean
that any appreciable numbers are
held back. After heavy actions, such
as that at Cantigny, 1t requires seve-
raj days to check up the casualties
and cable them to the department.

TOO MANY LAWS.

In this issue will be found an arti-
clio by Jas. NJ. Moss, Sheriff of Oco-
nee county. relative to the question
as to whether or not there will be an
election for the Office OF Sheriff this
year. The question has been dis
cusesd no little in various quarters,
and the Attorney General has given
his opinion in tho matter, from
which 1t appears that his ideas differ
from those of Mr.. Moss. From the
Attorney Generals statement and
points quoted from the statutes It
looked very much as though his posi-
ZION was we'll taken and amply sus-
tanned. MIR. 'Moss's position as shown
in his communication in this issue,
seems to be equally well taken and
sustained by the laws Of our State.
Possession" we have always heard,
"constitutes about nine points in
law" and If this rule holds good in
the present muddle. the question is
settled. Mr.. Moss Is in possession Of
tho office; the time, under normal
conditions. for an election to flll the
ofice Of sheriff Is two years off; Mr..
Moss, as we understand 1t, holds a
commission from the Governor di-
recting him to administer tho affairs
Of the Office Of Sheriff OF Oconee
county, until his successor shall have
been elected and qualified according
to law. The whole situation seems
to us to point to Mr.. Moss as clearly
entitled to the Office for two more
years. But we make no attempt to
construe the law. AS q natter Of
fact, lawyers from dozen bars
might wrangle over the situation for
an indefinite time and never reach a
unanimous conclusion.
The point, however, that we call to
tho attention Of the public Is that we
have In South Carolina--and doubt
less practically all tho States are
similarly aHlicted--too many laws
on every subject, laws ambiguous in
language and conflicting one section
with nother--conilicting in many
instances to such an extent as to be
beyond the power Of any save court
OF last resort to reconcile. What We
f need is, in our opinion. a session or
two Of the General Assembly that
will 60 to the Capitol and devote the
whole 40 days OF several sessions to
repeating useless and conflicting
laws. Laws should be so clear in
language and free from conflicting
sections that the "wnyfaring man,
though fool" might read and un-
derstand. At present the situation ia
just the reverse, and a half hundred
laws, old and new, on most any sub.
ject can be fshed from the muddy
Legislative pools to puzzle the best
lawyers to be found.
1t seems to us that the time for q
strictly repeating General Assembly
has arrived.

THE SEED CORN SITUATION

Very just cause for alarm is fur.
nished by the facts that are now ap-
parent with reference to the supply
Of seed corn for next springs s crop.
There is a serious shortage of seed
corn not only in North Dakota.
Minnesota and Wisconsin-the sec.
tion hit by early forsts-but the
shortage extends likewise through.
the entire Corn belt. The catast
rope resulting from frost is especi.
ally serious in the northern state;
mentioned, because any surplus ci
southern-grown seed will be useless
in the northern states where local
acclimatcd varieties are absolutely
necessary for success. The seed
corn situation is now such that tho
most favorable conditions next wear
and the outstanding of all available
seed will be absolutely necessary If
the northern states are to produc:,
Il corn crop Of normal size in 1915.
The seed corn problem in the
Northwest can be saved only by the
strenuous efforts on the part of tho
public during the next few weeks.
In spite Of early frosts it was be-
lieved some weeks ago that suf1ici-
"nt seed had been saved as a resul:
OF the seed corn campaign carried
on i'm September. However. tl,
weather in October and yNovcmbc;
was very unfavorable for seed eur.
ing and many farmers who saved
seed need now only go through this
seed and they will find that lary,
percentage Of supposedly good seed
has moulded an is now utterly un.
fit for termination. In addition t,y
meeting our own local demand for
seed. authorities i'm other localities
are now petitioning the Northwest
for help in supplying the s!:olta"c
IN these other states.
County agents and agricultural
iiSh s1SAlOoI iIlt-ll dIt t,tIuss dSNG(t w
ito everything poss;bl, to spot amy
surplus supplies and save any seed
that can yet be saved. This same
effort to save the seed corn situa-
ton should be made in other states
as we'll and the campaign should be-
participated in not only by public
officials but by farmers, bsui.,cSs
men. bankers and all other people
whose prosperity depends to large
degree on a successful corn crop
next year. All old corn of the pre-
vious year should by means b
saved for seed. Where corn has
not already spoiled every preca1,-
tion should be taken to preserv"
seed. 1t is believed that every pos
sible ear of sound corn that will
germinatc will be needed for seed
next spring 1t. should be both pro-
fitable and patriotic to do one $
share in saving seed corn right now.
The Wahpeton times., 1918-01-10

The law also provides that the
county can supply only sufficient
feed for planting the grain loaned
by the county. With the average
North Dakota farm consisting of
373 acres, it is pointed out, the
$50 bushels provided for under the
law would not go very far towards
meeting the actual needs of the
farmers.
| Commissioner lIagan outlined
the situation in the following state.
ment: IL sincerely believe that =
special session Of the legislature a;
this time is an absolute necessary
to extend financial aid to the farm
'rs of the state for the p,,rchas. of
SEED and feed.
Commissioner Ha;sin said: 1.-The
present county seed and bonding
Jaw is inadequate under the exist
lug conditions fo" two reasons:
First, it provides that only 100
bushels of wheat or it's equivalent
can be supplied to any one farmer
and, secondly, the amount of feed
provided for under the present
wording of the law is SO limited
that it would be of little assistance
to the farmers. Approximately
*5, 100000 is needed to financ.
the seed and feed situation in North
Dakota this spring. A survey OF
the state by the department of ag-
ricultnrc and labor early this wint-
er showed a shortage for seeding
purposes of approximately $4,000
bushels OF wheat. l.159,O 900 bushels
OF oats, 100000 bushes of barley.
10000 bushels of flax and 10000
bushels of corn. Besides the sur
vey showed a shortage of more
than 2,00O.O0O of OATS for feed. Fig
, 'lring these shortages at their pres
ent market value. five millions of
dollars will not any more than fin
ancr the Situation.''
The approximate cost to the state
OF three days session, in the opin-
ion Of State Auditor Car! II. Kos
ltzky, would be Approximately
/ $4,000.

I" cover tire expense of a three

houses will aggregat" approximate
! ely $500 and per diem expenses
will not run over $500 Il day; in

ton can be- disposed of in three

NOVEL PLAN TO RAISE
FUNDS FOR RED CROSS

To increase the fund of the Wah
peton branch Of the Red Cross the
local organization has decided on
a new and novel plan to raise mon-
ey i'll order that our boys fighting
in France may have the things nee
essary for health and comfort, and
if the plan meets with the support
which it merits it should prove Il
record breaker for the local work
ers. The plan is in the form of an
appeal for contributions of all
kinds of livestock, chickens, ducks,
turkeys, calves, pigs, or anything
that one cares to give. and when
the list is large enough, public.
auction will be held to which the
public will be invited and the pro-
ceeGs OF the sale will be turned
over to the local Red Cross branch.
This is an opportunity for ever
farmer, as we'll as townspeoplc. to
make small sacrifice in the way OF
food and help swell the Red Cross
funds. In addition to livestock.
any contributions OF butter, eggs,
or other produce will be accepted
and placed on sale at the same
time. Several hundred items are
desired for this sale, and it is hoped
that the citizens of Wahpeton and
the surrounding country will re-
spond generously with their con-
tributions. DO not bring your
gifts in at this time. but merely
notify the undersigned, and when
the list is large enough to warrant
the sale you will be notified of the
time and place of sale. with a re-
quest to have yot,r contribution on
hand at that time. Nothing is too
large nor too small for sale of this
kind, and whatever you give, you
may rest assured that the same will
be received with gratitude. and the
money derived from the sale will
he used in the same charitable
manner as all other Red Cross
funds are used. Phone or write
whatever you wish to give, and let
us see what tremendous sale can
be held for this worthy cause. Ev-
cry gift is an effort to help win the
war. What will YOU giveoo
