Crop has been made a4d with. the price
this season,, We will come out better
than expected in the early fall. Yet
some OF the renters are in bad shape.
We attended the call meeting at Lau-
rens last Wednesday, to hear: Gov. r.
Manning and others who went t.
learn Of the conditions in boil weeyil
district. They give us in detail the
conditions Of things, and when the boil
weevll gets among us. then we will
appreciate what they said. AS gen
eral thing the farmers are all from
Missouri. Some don't think the boil
weevil will come this high UP in South
Carolina, but we believe it will, and
the thi g to do Is to commence to pre-
pare to be ready to give them warm
reception. It will learn us q lesson,
and after all. we think 1t will be bet
ter for both people and stock. You
take nine-tenths Of the darkies: They
will spend all their money before the
holidays. because they move the first
Of January. The liens will. open, and
they will commemorative time business.
which will bankrupt any country. Now
then. when the 'weevil gets here, Mr..
Time Man, you better set up and take
notice. and remember as you 60 along,
the merchant will not advance you
much on your one crop Of the past
years, and we hope that It will be q
blessing after all.
