BOIL WEEVEL PROBLEM
SOLVED BY THE BIRDS

James Henry Rice Makes a Plea for
the Festhered Tribe which, He Says,
Will Prove the S0uth's Salvation.
Barnwell,-The Salkehatchie Agri-
cultural club had as it's guest and
pricipal speaker recently James Hen
ry Rice, Jr., formerly superintendent
of the Barnwell schools, and now chief
game warden of South Carolina.
The meeting was held at the club
house. mile from town, and Mr..
Rice spoke on the Menace of the
Boil Weevil." His remarks were re-
ceived with favor and he was voted
the thanks of the club on motion of
George II. Bates. senator from Barn
we'll.
The club agreed TO memorialize the
general assembly TO pass the hunters
license for raising revenue for the
protection of insect-eating birds.
Showed the Peril.
Mr.. Rice showed the great peril
hanging over South Carolina from the
rapid advance of the boil weevil. that
has within three years past made an
advance equal TO the previous nine
years and that an equal rate would
reach South Carolina within the next
three years. The government estimate
is five years, but this includes liberal
allowance for setbacks.
4 most interesting feature of the
address was the outlining of the
course of the boil weevil which. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Rice would probably
enter South Carolina within the
bounds of Barnwell county. The
speaker showed why the insect eating
bird was the only final check to the
boil weevil and what retarded the
work of birds in Texas
Safety OF State mt Stake.
The safety OF the State is at stake,
peril overhangs the people" he said.
better have few disgruntled hunt
ers than thousands of ruined farm
ers." 1t was shown that every State
invaded by the weevil had put on
stringent regulations against shoot
ing birds. but this would not be neces-
sary in South Carolina If proper steps
We're taken now for the enforcement
OF the laws. The general assembly
has not made provision for the en-
forcement of the laws; it is now the
business of the people to insist on
that protection which every man has
right to expect from the State to
which he owes allegiance
Mr. Rice gave a history of the boil
weevil from the beginning and added
list of birds that eat the weevil,
pointing out what measures were best
calculated to meet this grave crisis,
Many Questions Asked.
President Peacock presided and
many questions were put to the
speaker by various farmers present
who were interested in every phase
of the question.

FINDS CURE FOR PELLAeRA
Consists Of TRANSMISSION Of Blood Of
Healthy individuals Into Veins
Of Afflicted.

Chicago.-A cure for pellagra is as
serted to have been discovered as the
result Of experiments conducted at
the Cook County Inf1rmary at Cunning.
It consists of the TRANSMISSION Of the
blood of healthy individuals into the
veins Of the afflicted. Out of "a cases
so treated DR.. G. o. White asserted
.thatsnearly all have been cured.
"Pellagra Is common in u institu-
tion," said DR.. White. "The transfu-
sion of healthy blood into the veins of
the affected persons is about the only
method I know of that will cure it, and
certainly we have had great success. !

after the treatment we notice that the

becomes more active in body and alert

Consumption Of More Than Ton

Chicago.-"Sugar-cane" day was OBJ

When the first shipment of cane

among the gourmands as to which
could eat the most.

the following notice to automobilists:

STATE TO INSURE ALL MEN
counteract Lack Of EmpIoyment
Outline OF Plan.

London.-As the British government
has already announced that 1t has
In hand q national scheme Of insur.
ance against unemployment it may
be taken for granted that Sir Hubert
Llewellyn Smith, who is chief Of the
permanent stan Of the board of trade,
indicated economically the lines on
which that scheme Is based in the
address which he delivered recently
as president Of the economic science
section Of the British association.
"First." he said, "the scheme must be
compulsory, otherwise the bad per-
sonal risks against which we must
always be on our guard would be Ger
tain to predominant; second, the
scheme must be contributory, for only
by exacting vigorously as a necessary
qualification for benefit that a suf1-
Gent number of weeks contribution
shall have been paid by each recip-
lent can WI possibly hope to put linn
it, on the exceptionally bad risks.
"Our analysis leads us step by step
to the contemplation of a national
~contributory scheme of insurance,
within the limits of a large group of
trades-a group SO far as possible
s~elf-contained and carefully selected
al favorable. for the experiment, the
funds being derived from compulsory
contributions from all those engaged
in these trades, with a subsidy and
guarantee from the state. The rules
relating to benefit should be so de-
vised as to discriminate effectively
against unemployment which is
mainly due to personal causes, while
giving a substantial allowance to
those whose unemployment results
from industrial causes beyond the
control Of the Individual"
Such a scheme Sir Hubert regards
as actuarily possible, at least for
such q group of trades as building,
engineering and shipbuilding

MAJORITY REPORT.

II the Honorable the Common Council:
Gentlemen - Your Committee on
Sewers. to whom was referred the pc
tition OF James Hanley asking that he
he relieved from the contract for the
con instruction of section L or the Fair
view sewer, respectfully report tnat
sideration, and after a careful investi-
cation OF the same and examination OF
witnesses, we find that when Mr.. Han
ley filed his bid with the Depar,ment.
said sewer. that he was not possessed
of the same information that the other
bidders upon the said work had re-
ceived. I'VE find that Mr.. George
Langley had made for the City OF De-
troIt. an examination and sounding Of
the territory through which the sewer
was TO be constructed. and that the re-
suits OF his Investigation were re-
ported BY Mr.. Langley to all of the bid
dtrs upon said work except Mr.. Hanley,
We find that bid OF Mr.. Hanley. to-
wit, twenty-four thousand six hundred
and thirty-four and 3S-10O t24.624.3S)
dollars. was plainly inadequate for the
construction of said sewer under the
existing conditions, but that Mr.. Han
ley did his best to perform said con-
tract and has constructed 1,034 feet
OF said sewer and 2 man-holes. but we
find that the cost of further work upon
said contract would be greatly out OF
agreed by the city TO be paid therefor.
and that Mr.. Hanley has already sus-
tanned great loss by the construction
OF said work, and would stand to lose
much more should he be forced TO
lcomplete said work
1 We find that Mr.. Hanley expended
the sum OF two thousand Ct2O06D dol
| lars for lumber used In the construc-
ton OF said sewer and which had 10 no
] left underground. and we consider thai
fifteen hundred (S1500) dollars would
be fair compensation for this extra
lumber used We ,.lso find that nj the
| cor tract rate for the work already per-
| formed. NJ. Hanlcy would be entitled
| TO fourteen thousand four hundred and
seventy-three and 72-100 t14.i7375)
dollars, of which sum he has already
received eleven thousand three hun
dred and eleven and $500 G11,3i1.6s)
dollars.
We find that there was no conceal
ment or misrepresentation OF any kind
whatsoever practised by the Commits
sioner Of Public Works or the City En-
gineer toward Mr.. Hauley, or any OF
the bidders upon this work. but on the
contrary that their conduct With ref
ersnce to the whole AFFAIR has been
