\ - The Battle Cry. A
: )
Americus Recorder]
Tarift reform is to be the battle |
ery in the coming campaign, and |
under the Democratic banner will |
be enrolled all those who are op
posed to wonopolies and thriving
trusts.
PresidenssCleveland, in a recent
interview with the chairman of the
Democratic national executive com
mittee, expressed his Wesire that
the can paign should be a straight
forward and aggressive one, and
tariff reform, as expounded in the
St. Louis platform,should be made
the main issue. The President will
see that this course is followed, so
that such a change of front of the
tariff question which embarrassed
aud defeated the Domocratic party
in 1880 will be impossible. The
national executive campaign com
‘mittee, under the direction ot
the President, will begin active
operations next week, It will’
‘be specially changed with mission—
ary work on the tariff question
first. 1t will sevd out ecopies of
‘the Presidents message and of the
tariff reform specches to all state
committees and will see that the
state committees reach all Demos
cratic editors and oraters. The Pres
ident is a believer in the possibili~
ties ot taMft education, He wants
to. see every voter reached with in
structions on the tariff question
before the summer is over, Chair
‘wan Barnum will appoint an exec~
ative campaign commilttee, which
will carry out the President’s ideas
n the campaign, "William L Scott
‘will be a member of it,and possibly
! its ehairman.

At Chieago on Friday, the ther
moweter registered 104, Two cases
of sunstroke were reported.
. ‘THE CO.TON WORM.
About all that is known of this
insegt, together with the method of
its destruction by- poison, may he
stated in a few words. - .
The eaterpillar comes fram an egg
deposited by the moth; geunerally
on the side of the first or lower
leaves of the eotton weed. The eggs
hatchda {rom twa to eight days.
The catérpillers when smail do very
little damage. They merely bar
row into the under surface of the
Teaf, leaving-a trace of 4
stain. These burrows may - easily
be distinguished on account of
their form and color. '
The worms make théir appear
ance (the first brood) from May
until July, depending on the los
cality anl searon. In Florida and
Scouthern Georgia they may come
as early as the first of May, while
in the northern part of the State
they bardly ever show up until
about the first of July. They are,
in the latitude of Macon, from three
to five generations of these cater
pillars, while on the Gulf there
may be as many as seven or eight
geverations in a single season. In
ahout three weeks the caterpillars
complete their growth and spin a
rude cocoon, frequently using a
rolled leaf for this purpose. In
another week the moth is released
from the cocoon and within twenty
four hours proceeds to deposit eggs
for the second generation. A sin
gle female moth may lay as many
as eight hundred eggs, and, should
they all go through the changes
without accident, it would be pos
sible for one moth to be the mater
nal ancestor of 20,000,000,000 cat
pillars in a single season. Five
or six grown caterpillars on a plant
would endanger the cotton erop.
Now, it isevident that war should
be waged on the first or spring
Lrood of caterpillars. The cotton
planteave then smalland the wormg'
are more easily discovered. It also
takes much less fluid to spray the
leaves at this time. The young
caterpillars are more susceptible to
the puison, and the destruction of
oi e worm at this carly date may
repres at the destruction of eight
hunlired a month later, and more%
than a million during the entire
geason., }
The poison should Le applied to
the spot on which the caterpillors are |
Jeeding. It would be possible to
spray thousands of gallons of inse2t~ ‘
icide fluid onthe tops of the leaves
without destroying a single cater
pillar, while they are still young
and f2eding on the under side of
the leaf. It is extremely difficult
to wet the under side of a leat with
fluid applied trom above, The pores
through which the plant respires
are generally on the under side ot
the leaf, and nature has zo provided
as to protect them from being wet~
ted from above. Then, the only
effective method is to apply the
spray to the under side of the leaves.
Here I must admit that no spray~
ing apparatus, with which I am ac
quainted, is perfectly adapted for
this work, but. it is to be hoped
that the ingenuiiy of some of our
inventive geniuses will contrive to
supply this want,
As to the poisons to be used, a
large number have been suggested,
but the most effective, as well as
the cheapest, seems to be some
form of arsenic in solution.
An excellent fluid for the punl
pose may be made by any one of
ordinary intelligence, as follows:
Arsenic, one pound,
Carbonate of soda, tour ounces.
Place these in a gallon of soft‘
water and boil until dissolved. |
This gellon of solution sbould‘
then be diluted with 150 gallons of
water and used asa spray applied
to the under surfaces of the cotton
leaves where the young caterpillars
are feeding. By carefuily watch
ing the underside of the leaves for
the first appearance of the worms,
a small quantity of this floid will
destroy them,
_ Paris green may be used instead
of the above. Oune pourd of Pans
green to about fifty gallons of was
ter, and used in the same manner.
London purple may alsy be vsed,
but must be continually agitated to
keep it suspended in tha water,
‘One pound of Loudon purple to
oue hundred gallons of water is
about the right proportion. All
these substances are preparations of
arsenic,
To spmmarise: Commence war.
on the eaterpillars as soon as you:
discover their presence. Destroy
the first generation if possible.
" They are not the ones that do the
| gregiést damage but their desgend
ants of the next aond suceeeding
easiest way is to destroy the firstar
rivals, Atfter the worms reach
‘mearly their full growth they eat so
ravenously und ragpidly that little
can be done. Examine the under
side of the lower leaves carefully
and often. Remember the cater
pillars are very small when first
hatehed, and a lens will very much
facilitate an examination. Look
carefully for the yellowish, crescent
shaped marking left by the worm
where it has tunnelled the under
surface of the leaves. If you find
these, you may be sure the cater
pillers are om the plant somewhere
and you should look until you find
them and at once apply the reme
dy. ’

' SECTIONALISM DEAD.
Governor Gorden, -d} Georgia, on
~ the Significance of the Gettys
burg Reunion,
New York Herald.]
Wasmigrox, July, s.—Gover
nor Gordon, of Georgia, is in the
city on his return from the celebra
ton at Gettysburg.’ A tall and
typieal southermer, erect and spare
with thin Hnic” aud beard, light
brown_and grey, .aquiliye mose,
bearing in one che;fiwe pit ‘of a
union musket ball,the last of a har
vest of five gathered at, Autietamr,
geaeral, sepator and governor, he
impresses the observer as one who
has given and-taken hard knocks
in life’s battle, bearing stoically
ill fortune and prosperity vith
equaninity—the latter condition
holds him now.
The anniversary at Gettysburg,”
said be to your correspondent,‘‘has
made a lasting impression on me.
I doubt it history can aftord a pur
allel—the survivors of a great war
meeting on one of its greatest and
most decisive battleficlds with 2n
ardor of good feeling and aflecticn
even tully as intense as the animos
ity with which they met in battle
twenty five years ago. This warmth
of feeling had net the Jeast pre~
tence; it was of the most genuine
and apparent nature. It was ob
servable everywhere.
“There were probably over 30,
000 vetersns on the ground. Of
course most of them were uuion
veterans; the confederates are gen~
eraily too poor to come so far, but
the spirit was there just as intense
as it every survivor in the south was
on the spot.
“I saw an old oveslegged‘Louis
iana Tiger' in charge of a‘ dozen
union veterans, who were actually
carrying him around and giving
himu glorious time—eating,drink
ing, telling stories and presenting
him to their friends. One man
rushed up to me erying: ‘I want
to shake you by the hand, for you
were sartinly the wust [ ever
fit.’
“I met for the second time since
the war Gen. Barlow, who was in
Howard’s eleventh corps, which
my command doubled up in the
first day’s fight, thus giving us the
advantage for the time being. He
was severely wounded in that fight.
I came acrses him lying in a clover
field in the hot sun, and had him
taker down to a brook, where I
gave him a drink from my flask,
aud at his request tore up some
letters in his pocket. I left him,as
I supposed, dying.
“Fifteen years later, when in
the senate, I met a Gen. Barlow
at a dinver at Clarkson Potter’s
house, and asked him if he was a
relative to the Gen. Barlow who
was killed at Gettysburg. ‘Yes,’
said he, ‘T am the man himself,’
“The other da}: he came up and
shouted, ‘Let me getat the man
who killed me!’” When Lee was
marching north I, with a brigade
which was almost a division, was
way in advance of the moin army,
and as I rode over Cemetery hill I
noticed the beauty ot the country.
I penetrated as tar as York with a
few light skirmishes with Gov.
Curtin’s ‘rinety day’ men, and
should have reached Lancaster
when I was recalled to take part
in the fight at Gettysburg.
‘I remarked to my staft then
that whoever controlled the hights
would win the fight. After we had
won the first day’s fighting I re
peatedly urged that we should be
alloved to push on and take the
hights even as late as 2 o'clock 1n
the morning, but I was overraled.
I said that it would cost us 10,-
000. men to take them the next
day. It cost us nearer 20,000,
I crald hear the wunion fors
ces taking position all night long,
using pick and shove.,getting their
artillery into position and throwing
up breastworks. I could hear the
words of command.
“But,” said the governof apolos
getically, ““the army had arrived
mostly in the night and had not
been able, as I had, to view the
ground and kuow the country.

“It was only after I had arrived
at Gettysburg,” concluded Gov.
Gordon, ““that I arrived at a full
understandiug of the vast meaning
and importance of that fraternal
gathering. Sectionalism is dead,
and the men who killed it on the
battlefield were stamping on its

more staid colleagues, The other
day Kenna said to Blackbuen, light«
ing a fresh cigar: '
“Joe, you may talk as much as
you like about your dog, but mine
wou’t go out with me when the
cartridges don't fit my gun.”
Ap audible smile went around
the room, and everybody thought,
“Well, for once, Joe Blakburn
has been beaten at his own game."
The junior Senator from Kentucky,
however, was equal to the oeea
he looked at Kenna for a minute,
and then quickly remarked:
“Well, Kenna, I admit that
your dog exhibits an fntelligence
almost akin to reason, but ¥ doun’s
mind backing mine against him.
I was in the fields one day with
that dog, #od & man I was not ace
quainted with came along near us.
My dog pointed at him. I called
at the dog, but nothing would ine
duce him to move. Solwent up
to the stranger.
‘Sir," I said, ‘would you oblige
me with your name? .
‘Certainly.’ replied the stranger;
‘my name is Partridge.”

There passed Palatka, Fla, the
other day a man of sbout forty
winters, who was an object, of pity,
and yet with all thal was some
what amusing, He was sans ow all
subjects but one, and that, he ime
agived himself a teapot. He woula
put himselt into the shape of a
teapot by rounding one arm to
represent the spout amd the other
to represent the handle, While in
that shape he became very uneasy
it anyone came mnear, fearing vhey
might break off the handle or speut.
He would not speak, but would
make a * danger signal with his
mouth to represent escaping steam,
Then he would walk around, sway
to and fro among those about hiw,
fully satisfied that he was a teapot,
American women in Paris should
be careful how they carry their pin
money. Miss Elim Wi hering,
while walking on the streets of

from her hand. Upen appealing to
the police authorities, she was po
litely reminded that women should
not be sosilly as to carry their
purses in their hands while prome
nading the thoroughtares, The re
buke was deserved.
