From an ex.hanp. The North

lied tin' following a day or two ao
and laid it aside to comment on and
weave some famies about the fiitwe
of Ihi brave girl:
"The Southern llailway diies I no

an education at tlte Ashoville iHT-

there was anything else she desired.

"Nannie will enter school in the
fall. This is a worthy recognition
on the part i f the railroad of the
heroic d.-ed of a brave girl."
But, to, and behold' j-ist as we got
aliout ready to weave along conic a
sHt ial to the Charlotte Observer
which says that a fellow had come
along and induced the young girl to
run away and marry him. The
child's father was iudignaiit and
went and carried his daughter back
home. Of course this shh's her fu
tine. What a pitiable ending for a
heroine. And no necessity w hatever

have been jut as well pleased with

only headed him oil. Whatever be
the truth, we must always believe
that Nannie is of the liner stulT in

railroad track in saving life, than

to have been much know n here, and
we publish some information from
the pamphlet referred to. Mr. Sher
man is mistaken in supposing that
anybody here suiected that the
worm wa the boll weevil, as he has
long ago assured u that tlie latter is
not in North Carolina, and people
believe the statement. The following
extracts are made from the pamphlet:
"The cotton boll worm, the corn
ear worm and the tomato fruit worm
are all one and the same sfiecies of
insect. Cotton, corn and tomatoes
are the cultivated plants w hich are
most often seriously hurt by it, al
though it has also been recorded as
injuring tobacco, peas, beans, squash,
okra and other plants. The insect is
one of very wide distribution, neeur-
the ear mav be cut off and fed to
stock or burned to destroy the
worms. Three more rows should be
planted in corn at such a tune that
it will be in silk about the first uf
July or a little later. Many eggs
will be laid on these and the worms
will be so numerous that many of
them will eat each other. Itesides,
there are a number of extremely
small wasp-like insects, called para
sites, which destroy considerable
numbers of the eggs and larvae.
These will increase greatly when the
worms become numerous in these
rows. Therefore it will lie well to
do nothing to check the worms in
the three rows, but the lifth and last
row should be planted in corn at
such a time that it will lie in full
ring not only throughout the I'nited silk aUmt , ,iriU f All,llst Tu,

Mates and in lanada, but also in
Ktirope, Japan, Australia and doubt
less other countries. We will here
consider the insect only as a pest of
the cotton, mentioning its attacks on
other plants only to aid in an under
standing of it, to make the matter of
remedies more clear.
"The boll worm is present in great
er or less numbers every year, al
though a it feeds on a great variety
of plants, it doe not do so much
damage in some years as in others.
For the past twenty years, however,
the pest seems to have been gradu
ally gaining in numliersand destruc-
tiveness, until now it ranks among
the worst insect enemies of the cot
ton, let there is not the least rea
son to believe that it will ever cause
the abandonment of cotton growing.
unless it be bv those who are too
ignorant or too indolent to make use
if the methods of controlling it. At
the present time its effect upon the
crop in average years is not very
marked. The insect is probably much
more familiar to the reader as the
ear worm of corn, for corn (especially
the sweet table varieties1 is its favor
ite food, and it is to be found attack
ing that plant more regularly than
any other.
"The adult t parent) insect is
brownish-yellow moth which meas
ures about an inch and a half from
tip to tip of the expanded wings.
The moth Hies at dusk and after
dark, and feeds upon the nectar of
(lowers. lhe female moths lay the
eggs on the cotton plant, most fre
quently on the under side of the
leaves. These moths do not harm
other than to lay the eggs. The
eggs hatch in from two days to a
week to small dark-colored catcrpil
lars, or larvae, which crawl with a
looping motion. At first the young
caterpillars feed on the leaves close
to the egg-shell, but later they wan
der farther away and attack the first
boll they can hud, or bore into the
bud. The worm may remain in the
boll first attacked until it is com
pletely eaten out, or it may eat direct
ly through the boll and at once go in
search of another. In this way one
boll worm mav destroy a consider
able number of bolls.
When the larva (caterpillar) is
fully grown it is from an inch to an
inch and a half in length. They
vary greatly in color, some being
dusky brown, others pink, reddish
or yellowish. The grown larva leaves
the boll and enters the ground, where
it changes to the pupa or chrysalis.
It passes this stage within an oval
cell in the earth. It is of a light-
brown color and entirely helpless, as
this is merely a transformation stage,
when the larva is being formed into
the adult moth. This stage of the
insect lasts from one to four weeks
(sometimes over winter), at the end
of which time the adult insect
emerges. The adult insect mate and
deposit eggs for another brood, and
then die.
The winter is usually passed in
