The Herald and News will begin
Eext week the publication OF the story
announced some time ago, written by
Col D. A. Dickert. The subject OF
this story is Gen. Jno. H. Morgan
and His Partisans of the Blue Grass.
This is one of the best war stories
that has been written by Col. Dickert,
which is saying a good deal, and it
will be run through several issues of
the paper.
In order that you may not miss any
Part of this story, you had better sub
scribe now, and if your subscription
is about to expire. you had better re-
new at once.
These war stories by Col. Dickert
constitute very valuable part of the
history of the war and all of them are
based on facts, and contain a great
deal of history that has not been re-
corded.

vii. This, it is felt, will have the ef-
feet of maintaining the normal pro-
duction of cotton. Practical farmers
who have had experience in dealing
with the boil weevil will be employed
and will devote their entire time to
visiting the farmers along the lines
of these railways in localities which
may eventually be reached by the
weevil and giving them practical ad-
vice as to the best methods Of grow
ing cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions.
Planters and others in these locali-
ties who are desirous of ayailing
themselves OF the practical advice and
assistance OF the agents of the cotton
culture department in this matter are
invited to correspond with Mr.. T. O..
Plunkett, general agent of the cotton
culture department of the Southern
railway, the Alabama Great Southern
railroad, and the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, at Chattanooga, Tenn.

ways which may eventually be reach
ed by the Mexican cotton boil Weevil,
as to the best methods of growing cot
ton in spite of the presence of that
insect. The experience of the farmers
in Texas, where the weevile has been
for some years, demonstrates that, by
the adoption of proper methods, prac-
tically as large yields of cotton can be
obtained as before the appearance of
the WeeVil. In most localities in
Texas the invasion of the weevil has
generally been followed by short
crops for two or three years until
the farmers have learned how to deal
with the insect.
The purpose Of making the CO.
operative work of the companies as
effective and helpful as possible, an
organization has been perfected to be
known as the cotton culture depart
ment Of the Southern railway, the
Alabama Great Southern railroad, and
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, with a
view to encouraging the adoption Of
the most improved methods in ad-
vance Of the appearance Of the wee

PEANUT vs.. BOIL WEEYIL.

A New Orleans dispatch is author
ity for the opinion of Judge L. NJ
Pikin, of San Antonio, the owner OF
a large plantation in st. James parish
Louisiana, who declares that peanut
production, is the salvation Of the
cotton planter, who suffers from the
rayages Of the weevil. He says the
hilly lands infested with the weeyil
will yield per acre from 20 to 65
bushels of peanuts valued at 81 per
bushel and that the peanut hay may
be easily disposed of at from S12 to
SIS a ton. He says these lands will
not yield more than $40 in the acre
in cotton.
Judge Pikin stated that peanut Oil
is sold principally in Europe for a
better price than olive oil and that
the peanut oil cake is an excellent
stock food.
MANY cotton mills in the weevil
district" he said, ''are converting
their plants into peanut mills, where
the oil and meal are manufactured" ."
A feature in connection with the
peanut industry which the judge said
must not be overlooked is the fact
that three years culture of peanuts
in the present cotton fields will drive
out the boil weevil-Greenville News.
The Herald and News printed the
dispatch referred to and desires to
call attention to it again in this con-
nection.
While Georgia is known as the
"Goober State" still peanuts can be
produced in South Carolina to advan-
tage, and it does not cost a great deal
to cultivate the crop. We would be
glad to see some of our business men
and capitalists look into the matter
of building a peanut mill.
We do not think it necessary or
advisable to convert any OF our cot
ton mills into peanut mills, but it
might be profitable and worth while
to Investigate this question.

We notice in the trial of the graft

nesses for the prosecution admitted
under oath in his testimony that he
had lied in a former investigation

It is not likely that a jury will place
much confidence in the testimony Of
such a witness, though he says he is

The election on Tuesday was a reg
ular landslide for the Democrats. It
has developed some very strong ma
tional leaders and if the party makes
no mistakes during the next two years
and will use the leadership of these
men, there will be a good chance for
che election of a Democratic presi-
dent in 1912. Woodrow Wilson devel-
oped into good campaigner and the
strong point in his favor is that be
met all issues squarely and fearlessly.
