TURN1Ni the advertising of a State
college over to a private advertising
agency may be very good way to
dispose of the labor connected with
sending out copy, but it is not going
to tickle the publishers of the state.
And the more so when the price offer
ed by the syndicate is less than half
formerly paid by the college. There
are over one hundred weeklies in the
state and if the same scale of rate is
followed the syndicate will get about
one hundred and fifty dollars for plac-
ing Il two inch ad. at Il cost to the
syndicate of II few dollars. The col
lege in question is President Johnson
of Rock Hill and the syndicate Is Rev.
Jacobs of Clinton.-Greenville Index.
Others will do as they please about
this matter; but THE ENQUIRER will
certainly insist on its price. OF course,
Winthrop does not have to advertise;

- Some significant official predictions
regarding the ravages of the cotton
boil weevil are made in a report soon
to be issued by the department of agri-
culture and written by w. D. Hunter,
who has charge of the chronological
part of the boil weevil investigation in
which half a hundred experts are now
engaged. Mr.. Hunter says that con-
servative authorities agree that unless
contingencies at present unexpected
occur the pest soon will cause an in
crease in the price of cotton through
out the world. BY living within the
fruit of the plant the weevil is well
protected from any poisons that might
be applied; it occupies but fourteen
days for development from egg to
adult and the progeny of a single pair
in q season may reach 134,000,000 in
dividuals; it adapts itself to climatic
conditions and is remarkably free from
parasites and diseases, all combining
to make efforts at control difficult. The
report estimates that the presence of
the weevil practically doubles the area
of land required to produce bale of
cotton and that the WeeVil caused the
Texas planters loss of about S15,OOO,-

1t seems that Major Jaggins was a
regular sawed off before the war, and
he felt his lack of height keenly, espe.
cially as he had soaring mind and
had to answer to the name of Stumpy.
But his time came. At the battle Of
Cold Harbor lie had both legs taken of
by shell. When he came to, he gave
yell of delight that paralyzed the
nurses and nearly scared the rest Of
the hospital to death. He was simply
thinking of what he was going to do
on the leg matter, and he realized that
he wasn't going to be Stumpy Jaggins
any more. After he was cured he just
gave his order to the cork leg people
to make him two of the longest pins he
could stand up on. Consequently he
now walks the earth n triile shakily,

crowds were always around the grab

Colonel Porter was on hand, as chip

allowed that he wanted the gold ring
