BOIL WEEVIL HAS RUINED THE
CROP

Rev. Morrison Bethea who has re-
Gently returned from Atlanta going
by the way of Augusta and return
ing via Clinton, S. c., says that he
watched all the way to see if there
were any blooms on the cotton, and
he failed to see any. He talked to
farmers along the way, and they as
serted that the boil weevil had de-
stroyed the crop, and had even de-
stroyed some of the early crop. OF
course this condition exists south of
Fayetteville, the boil weevil so far
having appeared in only four coun-
ties to any appreciable extent, and
these are Union, Anson and Robe
son counties, where they are report
ed as very active this year.
The reports now reaching us are
to the effect that the boil weevil is
operating in all the cotton states with
the exception of Virginia, California
and Arizona.
The belief is prevalent that this
crop will not exceed 1000, 900 bales
The advance of three cents a pound
within two weeks indicates the
fears entertained by the trade.

cap Wilson by refusing the play the

GIRAFFE REsENTS ITS CHAINS
Animal, in Captivity, Is Liable to Fur

After the downfall of the Roman
empire few CRATES were seen in Eu-
rope, so that in 1886 great sensation
was created in England by the arrival
Of one of them at the Geological gar

but the circus men did not always
say So By and by, however, all these
died out, and no new ones were to be

single captive was seen in Europe
or the United States. This scarcity
was due to singular fact. All the
CRATES had come from! or by way Of,
Khartum; and when, in 1870, the war
with the Mahdi in the Sudan began
the supply was stopped.
1t is thought that the first person
to describe the giraffes was the Roman
naturalist, Pliny., and he pointed out
that it was as mild in disposition as
the sheep. But "inild". is not at all
the correct word. The giraffe is timid
and nervous, but not at all gentle in
temperament. Keepers must be eau
tious in approaching this animal, first,
because it is easily startled, and may
spring away in fright and bruise IT.

paper doors. These screens and doors
noiselessly open into adjacent rooms,
or else cross veranda that over
looked little garden. A little gay
folding screen in larger corner adds
variety to the room, and many win
dows with slender frames of wood,
pasted over with this semi-transparent
paper, give enough light to make it
restful and comfortable. The floor is
elevated about two feet above the
ground and is covered with thick.
soft mattress. In the well-to-do house

sit on little padded cushion about

thick. Besides this there is a little

room. There is no other furniture in

are changed according to the seasons.

DY MANY subtle means, known to
II designers, gay and picturesque
millinery is adapted to the needs of
young matrons.. These means cannot
be formulated and put into words, or
rules, but they serve to add a note
of dignity to the frolicsome modes of
spring without even approaching the
sedate. Above is a group of five
favorites for young matrons, some Of
them adaptable to wearers that are
not so young. For modern women are
inclined to believe the genius who has
assured tham that stage is unneces-
sary;" they are remarkably clever in
the selection of clothes that express
personality which survives the passing
of yesterdays.
An example of style suited to many
wearers appears at the top of the
group of hats shown above. 1t is of
brown cellophane in this model. but
Is shown in other colors, and black,
and. made of other brilliantly lustrous
materials.
The hat below it, at the left, has a
round crown of braid and a pointed
coronet Of plated satin. A strand OF
beads about the edge falls in loops
