WEEVILS LIVING IN TREES.
Cotton Pest Found Hibernating in
New and Original Quarters.

The following clipping taken from
the Timmonsville Enterprise, was
handed to the Herald by S. S..
Carroll:
The berry of the chinaberry tree
has been discovered to be the winter
hibernating and propagating quarters
of the boil weevil, according to a
number of farmers who have come to
the Enterprise Office during the past
few days.
''H. E. Parnelle, of Oates, came in
on Saturday of last week and stated
that he had discovered them in the
berries on his trees in large quan-
titles, practically all of the berries
being punctured and on the inside
weevi,s in all stages of growth, from
the tiniest grub to fully developed
weevils. AS soon as l discovered
that the weevil was using the ber-
ries for winter quarters while they
raised their families, l Immediately
cut down every tree, gathered up the
berries and boiled them in big wash
pot stated Mr. Parnelle.
u. Ivy Hill was in town Tuesday
and stated that at least Is per cent.
OF the berries on his umbrella china
trees were punctured, and in them
were weevils at all stages Of life. He
brought with him handful of berries
he had gathered at the home of A..
H. Askins. Upon opening them it
was found that practically every one
of them contained small grub,
which is believed to be boil weevil.
''The editor of the Enterprise sent
a number of these berries to Clemson
college for expert opinion"

AnegedHghwaymen
Are Bested in Fight

Orangeburg, April 6.-J. S. Bardin,
magistrate at Elloree, and w. L. BAL
lard, his constable, lodged two alleg-
ed highWaymen in the county Jail to-
day. Last night about o'clock two
men appeared at the home of E. L.
Bull, who lives about five miles from
Elloree, and asked Mr.. Bull to carry
them to Parlers to catch a train, say
ing that their ear had broken down.
This, Mr.. Bull consented to do, and
when they reached the Vance Mill
dam, which is dark and secluded
spot, the two started to beat Mr..
Bull with their hands, it is alleged.
Then they tried to choke him. Mr..
Bull got his knife out and cut both
severely on their wrists. Mr.. Bull
then got out his revolver and shot
one man in the ear and the other in
the foot. They were badly cut in
other places. Mr.. Bull was badly
beaten up and cut up. The alleged
highwaymen also had guns, but did
not use them. The men gave their
names as Stuart Coy, of Harrisburg,
Penn, and John A. Robinson, Of
Blackstone, N. D. The men were giI~
en- medical attention at the Jail here
today. 1t is thought they will remain
in Jail until the May term of crimi-

Commission Okehs
BrdnchuQUe Road

At meeting of the state highway
commission Tuesday, the official
okeh was placed on the BranchVllle
highway from Bamberg to the Eds
to river. This means that the con-
tract will be let at once, it is under
stood, for the construction of this
much wanted anu long needed piece
of county roadway.
The building of this link of the
Charleston and Augusta highway has
been before the state highway COM
mission Tor several months past. The
road wss approved for federal aid by
the commission last fall, and the
county authorities made the neces-
sary arrangements to finance Bam-
berg's half Of the expenses, but the
failure of the commission to adyer"
tise for bids for the work was due to
the fact that the commission insisted
upon Bamberg building the bridge
over the Salkehatchie river before
going into the Branchville road pro-
iect The legislative delegation, the
supervisor and the commissioners OF
this county, however, felt that the
Branchyille road could not afford to
wait, and that the salkehatchle
bridge could, and therefore insisted
on going ahead with the road as Or
iginally planned, as the county did
not have the available money to go
into both projects at the present
time. The county authorities have
been trying for some time to get the
com mission to see the matter in this
light. and again put 1t up to the COM
mission Tuesday, with the result tnat
the commission has waived the Sake
hatchie bridge project for the time,
with the understanding that it must
be gone into at the earliest possible
date.
1t is a matter of intense satisfac-
ton to the residents of the county
who traverse the Branchville road
to know that the work will now be
proceeded with, as this is one OF the
county's most important highways,
and the road is in terrible condl-
tion. it being frequently necessary
TO make a wide detour in going to
Branchville from Bamberg by veni-
Gle.
At the same time it is matter
OF satisfaction to know that the Sal
kahatchie bridge will soon be con-
structed. The bridge over that river
will complete the Columbia to savan-
nah highway through Bamberg coun-
ty, the balance of the highway either
having been completed or under con-
struction. It is understood that
concrete bridge, reinforced with
steel, is planned at this point. Allen
dale has completed the installation
Of concrete bridges and culverts in
it's norton of the Salkehatchie river
swamp road, and also about complet-
ed the road from the river to Syca"
more. giving a continuous road from
that place almost through to Colum-
bia. the entire distance of which has
been or will be built with federal aid.
It is estimated that it will cost Bam-
berg county $4,000 to finance its por-
ton Of the bridge project.

OF leading German banks founded a
vast electrico-techniesl plant. he was
made its general director. In that
place he soon amassed fortune. and
then withdrew from business for a
time, intending 20 devote himself 20
literature and politics. His father per
