An Excellent Condition.,

tomorrow for the University of
Alabama at Tuscaloosa.
DR.. Eliot's principal address to.

forum where he discussed "Gov.

maintained that the highest eff
cientcy in municipal government
is accomplished by small governing
bodies placed in Office by univer-
sal suffrage. He gave the results
of his investigation in Galveston
and other Texas cities which are

ment, saying:

form of a tiny black fly destroys a
large percentage of the eggs, but as
a general thing these parasites do
not become abundant until the
first generation is we'll developed ;
so that the destruction of the bugs
that produce the first generation
is more essential than the death of
bugs later in the year. Another
point in favor of early obstruction !!
Are not the above facts sufi-
clent to impress farmers with the
Importance of spring destruction
of terrapin bugs?
Hand Plcking.-This is proba-
bly, the most valuable method of
killing terrapin bugs at any sea-
son of the year. The work can he
done rapidly by children. The
bugs are inclined to hide on cold,
windy or dark days; SO that warm,
sunny days should I've selected for
this task. We cannot expect to
find all the bugs in one day, OF
even the majority of them. A
good plan would be to collect two
or three times a week, but be Ger
tain to commence in a few days
after the bugs first appear. They
may be killed by crushing or by
dropping in a little kerosene.
Spray With Pure Kerosene
When the bugs are abundant on
worthless plants they may be kill
ed with pure kerosene. With the
aid Of a small spray pump a large
number of bugs may be killed,in a
few hours.
Arsenical poisons are not effec-
tive against this inst ct, which
feeds by sucking the plant juice.
Kerosene emulsion of Is or 20
per cent concentration is used with
success for killing small or half
grown bugs, but this treatment
will net kill many adults. By
following the suggestions made
above, the young bugs Will not be-
come numerous, but whenever
spraying does become Necessary
kerosene emulsion is the best rem
edy to use.

A Remarkable Man,

There died in Catawba county
the other day, quite suddenly, an
old man named Mark Poovy, or
Boovy, as some people spell it,
aged about 80 years. He was what
you call a misunderstanding,
rugged, picturesque. Not one man
in thousands was as robust for his
age as he, and he worked card and
loved to do it, chewed worlds of
tobacco, took his dram when he
felt like it, boosted of his chin
bodybuilding, his ditch-cutting,
his farming and delighted to jump
up and crack his heels together
three times before he hit the
ground, daring young men to try
the same stunt. An oldNConfed-
crate soldier, brave as a hon, serv-
ing as a sharpeshooter most of the
time in the war, and a volunteer
in the imperial armies of Lee, yet
he hated the civil wal from a to
lizard and denounced the men he
felt were responsible for bringing
it IN. After the war he would
vote the republican ticket as regu-
larly as election time came and
hated the democrats as much as
he loved to pick off Yankees on
the firing line. This was one of
the most remarkable things about
him-the wide difference between
his war record and his prejudices.
Rough, free-spoken, honest,
straightforward. loving the wild
joys of living, dancing jigs in his
boots with IS much precision and
ability as he handled profsne Ian
guage and voted the radical ticket,
laboring years after he had passed
the age limit which retires most
men, he was, all in all, a remark
able old northumberland

A Great County.

Scotland county is the finest
farming land in the State. The
land is level and the soil is as soft
as sugar. AS a cotton producer,
Scotland county beats many of
the famous cotton counties ofTexas
A Scotland county farmer has Civ
en- The Laurinburg Exchange some
facts that will bear out this asser-
ton. Speaking of The 1908 crop,
he says: H. .Malloy planted
300 acres and made 1926 bales T.
G. Everett 300 acres, made 32O
bales; W. Deb. McEachen, 80
acres, 1926 bales; R. R. Covington,

Jones, 24O acres made 24O bales ;
J. A. Mcbride, 40 acres, made $50

made Is bales; J. D. McKinnon
81 acres, made &c bales; W. N.
Mckenzie, IS acres, made 70 bales
J. F. Blue, 80 acres, IS bales-all
bales weighing 500 pounds" More
than that, he says these instances
of big cotton yields in Scotland
county, could be multiplied by
the hundreds" and it is added
that these cotton farmers are self
sustaining, as all of them grow
their own meat and bread. And
they raise corn, too, in Scotland
county. For instance, F. G. Nc
Cormick planted rs acres and har-
vested 1000 bushels; W. D. Nc.

HE Laughs Best Who Laughs Last"

twenty-five years ago Or more a
little country boy went to town,
one day. He drove a lean, raw
boned mule, hitched to a rlckety
old buggy. His clothes we're
coarse, of that kind that country
boys of that day and time wore.
AS he was going along the street
he met a to "n boy who was driv-
ing a fat horse hitched to a new
and shiny buggy. The town boy
broke into laughter. "What an
ugly old mulel" he exclaimed.
And what a disgraceful old bug
gy. And did anybody ever see
such outland:sh clothes as the
country boy wears?" The town
boy meant no real harm, perhaps,
but his words and his laughter
hurt the country boy very much.
In all his life nothing hurt him
quite so much. That was a long
time ago, and the town boy and
the country boy are men now.
The country boy is now one of the
leading business men of his Sec
: tion. He has many men in his
employ. Not very long ago he
employed the man who was a town
boy and who had jeered at him
that day, long ago, to fill a minor
position at a small salary. The
man who has the minor position,
and who, by the way, was very
glad to get it, has no doubt for.
gotten all about laughing at the
country boy, but his employer has
not forgotten it, although he new
er speaks Of it. Did this happen
in Anderson? you ask, Perhaps il
did. We should be very much
surprised if it did not, for it has
happened, with perhaps some
slight change as to detail, IN every
town. And it Will happen again
