ANOTHER BOIL WEEvIL PROBLEM

In view of the early coming of the
boil weevil to Georgia the discussion
hat has arisen in some quarters re'a-
tive to the early and late planting o.
cotton in order to avoid the ravages of
this plant pest are of interest. In 9TH
er words, is it better to plant cotton
early of late to avoid the boil weevilY
IL has been SO hammered into the
heads of the average farmer in Georf!a
so long that 1t is the better plan ~
plant cotton early that it is very likely
that no other plan has suggested itself.

the instructions sent out by the United

We are pleased to announce that on

tell the people of this financial ar

winds up his letter by saying: sect

Mr.. Wadley means by this that the

Impress upon them the urgent neces-

A COMMENBABLE COURSE.

Approval will be given by every law
abiding resident of this city and coun-
ty to the decision of Judge z. A. Lit.
tlejohn in calling a special session of
the Sumter county superior court 20
investigate the recent lynching here.
Every one who wishes justice done and
a sane and consistent regard for the
majesty of the law to be preserved
cannot fail to give to Judge Littleiohn
their commentator for the course he
has pursued.
Judge Littlejohn has done his duty
il the matter. He has made it possible
for the people of Sumter county to
investigate this shameful procedure as
fully and as fearlessly as they may.
Without the initiative of a call for .
special session of the court the matter
would doubtless have been passed BY
and not considered further judicially.
1t was in the power of the court .
give the people an opportunity TO
seek the truth and to apply the lay
as such an investigation shall de-
d.
Disregard of the law is always dan
gerous. The thoughtful people c;
Americas must surely have had an
opportunity last Saturday night of SEQ
ing how dangerous a force mob IS,
when such an anarchistic body threat
ems the rights, the property and practi-
Cally the lives of citizens who en-
deavor in the name of Christianity an
of common justice to restrain it from
unspeakable violence. 1t must be P
very thoughtless and silly person, in
deed, who thinks that such a mob is a
menace only to a criminal. Such mob
violence as Americas witnessed Sat-
urday night strikes a blow at the
very heart of society and social jus
tice. The fact that a man is a good
man is no restraining element with
those who thus disregard the law and
its authority.

PROMISE OF 4 HARVEST

With the report just issued by Farm
Demonstration Agent Wicker relative
to the promising conditions shown ny
the acres CT the boy corn growers who
are contesting for the corn club prizes
in Gumter county, it becomes manifest
that this part of the corn crop is prac-
tically safe.
The young corn growers have been
laying by their corn acres so there is
nothing else for them to do in the con-
test for the prizes and in the upbuild-
ing of the grain resources of the coun-
ty but to wait for the harvests and
the award of prizes. The value of tn
corn club has been spoken of many
times, but it cannot be emphasized too
much.
With the cooperation of the farm
demonstration agent for the county
as well as that OF the district super
visor of the corn club work for this
district, the boy corn growers of this
county have had good opportunity Il
make exceptionally good yields D
corn. They have improved these OPP
Eortunities, as the promise of corr
yields now shows.
Once again the attention of the Older
farmers of Sumter county is directed
to the work that is being done by tn
70 ng people. 1t is a case of wher,
tile farmer of long experience may. ye
learn much from one who has no
had such long experience in this phas'
of agricultural work The crops o
corn made by the boys will come u
well this year. In fact, it will come !
well every year on any farm. TIL
formers should heed the lesson of tn
=, orn club.

There are so many lost arts nova

Yet at the danger of overcrowding

observation of our highways, byways

we are one!

What's the use? Besides they are very
useful things in getting you to a con-

only trouble with motors is that people
stay in them. The Yankee type used

pedestrians are always more or less
lank and sinewy. But the motors are
altering our type. We are growing fat

Why walk when a motor will get you
