CORN HILL CLIPPINGS,
Cotton Worms Doing Much Damage to the
Staple-A Short Crop Expected.


Stsple-A Short Crop Expected.
Special to The Statesman.
CORN HILL, Sept. THE local OPP
ton election held here last Saturday
passed off very quietly. A full vote
was polled, and to the surprise-and
disgust-of the ants, the precinct
went dry by a handsome majority.
Mr.. Joseph Edmunson, who was
thrown from a wagon by runaway
team and badly bruised last week, is
up and fast recovering.
The cotton worms are eating every
part of the cotton plant that is not
too tough for their organs of mastica-
ton, while the boll-worm has con-
tract to digest the remainder. With
the worms, the drouth and the low
prices of cotton to contend with, it
looks very much as though the fates
were arrayed against the farmers.
But they are bearing their mistor-
tunes with a cheerfulness that is
truly astonishing. The only explana-
ton possible is that they are braced
up by the consoling thought that the
"middle man." who is responsible for
the unreasonable declines in the price
of cotton, and in fact, is the author of
all his troubles, has had his day and
will soon step down and out to make
room for the full operation of the sub
treasury plan. 1t is reported, how
ever, that quite respectable minority
lOudly declare fl cir belief that the
much praised panacea will yet prove
to he only placebo, given more to
quiet the mind than to remove the
cause of their troubles, and strongly
intimate their intention to stick to
straight Democratic remedies in the
future.
