"yea in the .city this -morning to ex,
amine treea affected by : insects and
began, workshortiy after-his arrival.
Mr. Craighead's ylsit is the result of
activities on the part of the Chamber
of Commerce; ; ;Becausenthe ., letters
receivedxby the Department ' of Agri
culture fromthe ; ScAith have been
very inexplicit and .because no speci
mens accompahied 1 them Mr. Craig
head , has been unable to form any
opinion asto the nature of the tree
trouble in the South' but he is of the
opinion that - if bis Instructions are
carried out this trouble can be quick
ly eradicated The iwork of extermi
nating J the; bpr.ersj ' will devolve on
the property owners. "
Mr. Craighead is of the opinion
that the major portion of the South's
tree trouble is being caused by "root
borers" and whilp, various kinds pf
trees are affected the oak seems to
be suffering most ; ' There are several
pecan "trees within the city limits
that have be:t?icke4'lby insects
and are showing ihe ravages of these
bugs.; . " . .. . ,
Mr. Craighead stated this morning
that there are three kin$s of "bor
ers' that 'are very common in the
South . They are the root borers,
trunk borers , and borers that attack
the branches . .He added that any
one of the three would cause but little
damage but very often a locality gets
a combination of the three and the
tree is unable to stand -up under the
attack. . . , fi.
There are a number of affected
trees oir Dock and Orange streets and
others near the corner of T hird and
Grace,. Mr Craighead was carried
about the city this morning and
Dointed out the affected trees. If af
ter examining thm he can issue in
structions as to what remedy should
be applied. Jie will , do so but he
almost confident that he will have
to return to Washington to study the
proposition before he can determine
what, should be done to eradicate the
pest.
In speaking of the tree trouble this
morning--Mr.--Craighead referred to.
the trouble that was experienced in
this sectipn ' several years ago when'
the ; pine- beetle ; made - an .- attack on
pines .anUput , up ,astJahb-n fight,
before he was wiped out. The De-'
partment of Agriculture's instructions
in that instance was "to cut the affect
ed pines in the .winter., and., after peel
ing the bark' to burn it. This was
done and marked success attended
'the work. Mr. Craighead is convinc
ed that if instructions are carried out
the present trouble can be eliminated
very quickly.
Mr. Craighead will probably leave
Wilmington this afternoon, however
he may remain over until tomorrow,
He is touring the South at present j
and will make stons m savannan,
Atlanta, and points in Tennessee, and
in Western. Virginia and Western Car

used In promoting the proposed high

important link in the State's system
of roads.
A special committee composed of
the following Wilmingtonians has
been appointed to secure member

Messrs. Paul B. Bell, George P.

imately $ 1 30,000.
Imports recorded at the Wilmington
Custom, House during the month of
September again took a bound upward,
according to ngures given out this af
ternoon, and exceeded the high figures
for the month of August by more than
$30,000. The Imports during Septem
ber was approximately $129,000 as
against $98,000, the total amount for
August.
Exports for the past month at this
port amounted to $1,152,283, being prin
cipally two part cargoes of cotton, ex
ported from here during the past 30
aays. ine expon ngures ior mis oepi

extended $2,000,000.
The chief reason for the heavy re
ceipts for imports during the pant
month was because of the large amount
of foreign tobacco received at Winston
Salem trough the branch office of the
Wilmington Custom House in that
place. Heavy shipments of sugar
from Canada received in bond at Winston-Salem
also helped to boost the
figures.

Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glbssy and attractive with
a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture wasX applied with wonderful
effect. By asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." you will get a' large bottle of
Uhis old-time recipe, Improved by the
addition of other ingredients, all ready
to use for about 50 cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to re
store natural color and beauty to the
hair.;
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and. Sulphur Compound; now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been., applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair,, taking one strana
at a .time. By mornihg.the gray hair
disappears; after anotner appucawon
or two, it is restored to its " natural
color and looks glossy, soft and beauti

This will give those whb have hot

Those in' close touch with' the po

not registered to attend to this just
as soon as the books are opened. The
Democrats are very , anxious to poll
a mammoth Vote and the Republicans
are anxious to do the same thing. Un
less one is registered one cannot vote,
and it is for this reason that the lead
ers of both parties are ; urging all to
register just as early as possible.
According to one gentleman who is
in close touch with the. situation pol

need all the ballots ihey can muster
and the Republicans are going to need
even a greater number. With this
knowledge the -leaders are losing no
time, but will hurry, all unregistered

resistance has only reinforced the

the open expressions of the ambitions
of industrial Germany to absorb what
