The town pf Julian, Nebr , late In April was so overrun with white African-ants of an odd species that the little place was literally being eaten up by them. Rafters and floor beams in homes, churches, schools and wooden stores were so badly weakened when the pest was discovered that Sunday services were re Power lines CMinectinf . North and South Carolina— barring one section of Eastern Tarheelia—are now traversed by voltage electric transmiasion lines which in a few short weeks will constitute a part of a mighty Eastern and Mid Western super power system. Already the Carolinas are ps^t and parcel of the super power system of the Southeast but there is coming —and It will ar rive in August of this year—a new link which wilt tie together the great sources pf electric power all over the Atlantic sea card. which^ in turn will be joined with the systems along the great Lakes and the Cana dian, border. Virtually all of South Caroli na is now covered by transmis- Sion lines which bind together the big power companies Of the two Carolinas, of Georgia, Ala bama and Florida.

Scotland county commission ers will build a new jail this sum mer. A new court house wilj come sopn. A cheaper, more sensible wav would be to remode their old building. Some folks seem to think the sand is sprouting grass, butthatl is not true. The weather has bt^en so dry for two years that the grass seed has had no chance to germinate in that time Tbe cottnn plants have been afflicted with lice, as they always are when the weather is cool, we have had a cool spell ouce a week all the spring, and now one fourth the cotton plants are dead. Tbe pension checks for Con federate veterans and widows came last week, and most of them have been delivered by Wm. L Poole, C. S. C. The amount is the same as it was last year. The late Mr. W. J.

And now comes Assistant At torney General Nash with tbe discovery of a law passed by the General Assen^bly of 1741, which has never been enforced nor re pealed.

The weather was rainy last Wednesday, and Thursday was as fair a day we ever saw. For two years now the rains have been light, and when it looked like wet weather it faired ofi without lootice, and stayed fair.

Page, Jr.* has gone north to sell peaches. This is 1 he right way to do business Thousands and thousands of dol lars of money is stolen from truck and fruit grow^ers in this state by commission men. A dozen men kept in the northern markets every summor would be the wise course to take by tbe farmers. Peaches are being transported from the sandhills to market by trucks. Freight rates by rail road are ruinous If Hoke dew berry growers had hauled their berries to market, they would have saved a lot of money. And we learn the A. & A, did not get any more for handling a car of fruit than they get for other freight, but the big roads do. Nathan McLamb, a Johnson county farnier, aged 60, rented land to his son, David McLamb, and had au account against his son, went Tuesday morning of last week to collect the debt bv taking a part of a stack of fod der belonging to the son, who objected to that method of col lecting. forbade his father to take bis fodder off the place, but when the older man went ahead anyhow, the son shot his father in tbe face with a shot If^un' Both acted foolishly, and Cary Peterkin brought editor a stock of cotton knee- high and a watermelon nearly half grown Saturday.
