WHITEHALL ST.
Charleston, S. C„ Aug. 13.—Caterpil
lars are Invading the fields of .the sea
Island cotton In the Charleston terri
tory to a considerable extent, and the
damage done by the pests Is causing
serious concern. ...
Energetic measures afe being taken
t>y tho planters to stamp out the cater
pillars.
The planters are feeling much con
cern over the Invasion of the cater
pillar, as the pest Increases rapidly and
has been known to do great damage to
other crops In other sections of the
country. Some fear that ravages of the
pest on tho sea Island cotton may reach
the magnitude of the Invasions of the
army worm in the West, where broad
tracts of grass and small grain have
been destroyed In a brief time. •

SOLONS PLAYED FOOTBALL
WITH MR. HALL'S PET BILL
Macon's charter bill was the football
of the legislature during the session
■ Just closed, and promises to become as
famed In legislative annals as the bill to
abolish the city court of Harris county,
which was the bone for the filibuster In
: 1907 during the prohibition fight.
The Macon charter amendment was
■ the pet measure of the lion of Bibb—
Hon. Joe Hill Hall. He wanted to clip
the powers of the recorder of the Cen
tral City, and came to the legislature to
do it.
The bill struck snags from the start.
A big delegation of Macon rltlsena. In
cluding Mayor Miller, came up to fight
tho measure. In the winding up of the
session the bill was shunted across
from house to senate, from senate to
house, so fast that no one could keep
up with It—except Mr. Hall, who fol
lowed,It like a bloodhound as It raced
backward and forward.
The house tacked on amendments and
sent It to the senate. The senate
amended the amendments of the house
and sent It back. The house sometimes
agreed to the senate amendments to the
house amendments, sometimes 11 did
not.
On the last day of the session It
reached the senate and Senator Ruth
erford had an amendment adopted.
Then he moved to table the bill, which
was done. Bike an angry lion, Mr. Hall
went charging over to the senate
chamber and held heated converse with
his senator.

tor Rutherford stated to the senate that
he had no disposition to nnger or do
Injustice to any member, and therefore
moved to take the bill from the table
and pass It, as amended last by him. It
was done.
The bill went back to the house and
the last Rutherford amendment was
stricken. The bill came bark to the
senate and again 8enatnr Rutherford
had It tabled. Then there was about
the maddest man aeen In the capttol In
yeara In the person of the Lion of Bibb.
He roared long and loud and charged
up and down. He could not and would
not be pacified.
And It resulted at last In the house
receding and finally adopting the Ruth
erford amendment^ and the Mil passed
—not exactly what Mr. Hall wanted,
but something like It. nnd ho went
away home partially mollified.
The bill waa read by caption so mnny
times In the house that one member
arose to a parliamentary Inquiry:
"Mr. Speaker. I would esteem It as a
personnl favor If some one would In
form me Just how many new charters
Macon Is after. Seems to me we havo
passed a dozen already, and here is an
other one."

Kimballville Farm
Durand's Dairy, Where Germs, Microbes and Flies Are Fought to a Finish
i
.1
■
i
Have you ever wondered what the
, |dare looked like whence the milk you
drink came?
If you read about germs and microbes
and files and such things and they have
any terrors for you, this thought has
occurred to you. But few consumers of
milk have seen where this article of
food comes from.
The health regulations of most large
cities require certain standards formllk
and inspections are made to see that
these regulations are not being violated.
.But milk may have these requirements
end yet be obtained under conditions
which are not conducive to cleanliness.
About a mile and a half from Deca-
atr there la a dairy farm that to inter-1
estlng and well worth a visit of Inspec
tlon. This la the dairy operated by H.
R. Duraml, the well known restaurant
proprietor. Mr. Durand has several
hobbles and one of these Is dairying
and good milk. For that reason he has
spent a large amount of money estab
lishing an Ideal dairy, where milk Is
obtained under conditions as near per
fect as care and money can make pos
sible.
He does not attempt to provide milk
except for his places of business, and
even then has not enough. A email
part of his output Is set aside for very
young children, but the balance la for
his own use.
Aelde from the dairy feature, Mr.
Durand's farm la Interesting. JU con*.
elate of about 60 acres and It was
owned by his father before him. <>n
the land is the old homestead where
Mr. Durand was born and near where
the creek tumbles *0 feet or more in a
cascade over huge rocks are the evi
dences of the grist mill and furniture
factory that this creek operated yean
ago for Mr. Durand’e father.
of Mr. Durand, his wife, his?daughter
and her husband and the grandson.
That the family may enjoy all the ben
efit* of life In the country, with plenty
of fresh sir. Mr. Durand has built an
artistic log bungalow with a beautiful
flower garden about lb
Then there Is the lake, too. In It are
all the fish desired and the little stream
that flows from the toko Is
and mode to turn a picturesque water
wheel. This wheel Is hernessed to a
pump and the water from a pure spring
In the spring house Is pumped to the
barns for the use of the 10 or SS cowe
supplying the pure milk. There is a
clear creek with thousands of gallons of
water, but Mr. Durand knows he Is not
taking any chances of contamination by
From the spring house the water
flows to another house, le cooled even
more thru colls around which ice Is
packed, and runs thru other coils over
which milk fresh from the cows drops
and is cooled. Then tt Is placed In cans
which hare been sterilised and put In a
big refrigerator.
In another building Is a steam boiler
harneased which furnishes scalding water to dean
the milk battles and steam'for bottles
and cans. Everything la eternized.
The milking house probably Is the
most Interesting feature. The cows are
taken from their stalls Into another
room. Here they are curried and
washed. A power fan keeps any stray
files awsy from this operation. When
the cows are thoroughly cleaned they
are driven Into another room which Is
double screened and which ha* a ce
ment floor with water running over lb
The men who do the milking go Into a
room, wash and put on a clean white
uniform. Then, when they are as clean
as the cows, they go Into the milking
room, where s fly can not enter, and
begin milking.
If a fly was ever tyuight lurking In
that room where the milling Is done
somebody would get fired. The room
where the cows are cleaned Is screened
so that It Is not so very difficult to get
the cows Into the milking room clean
and free from flies.
Everything about the place suggests
cleanliness. No trash Is lytnir about to
attract fifes and even the barns are
kept clean and with few files. Auto
matic drinking troughs are In each stall
so that a cow gets only the amount of
water necessary and the trough Is al
ways clean as a result and the cows
can only get pure and fresh water.
This same spring water which sup
plies the residence and which the cows
drink Is also used to wash the cows and
the floor of the milking house. Creek
water might contain something Mr.
Durand doesn't JmpjY. about.
Electric lights arc Installed
