PONTOON BRIDGE OUT

The pontoon bridge at Wolf Point
went out during the high water last
week. Driftwood piled up. against
the bridge until the pressure became
too great and the cables which hold
the bridge in place gave way. The
Wolf Point Herald says that it will
be about a month before the bridge
will be operated again.

DCIl Weevil and Sea Island Cotton.

| have just read your clipping
in Mondays paper, from the Sa-
vannah News, relative to the boil
weevil and sea island cotton. If the
boil weevil ever enters the sea island
belt, that industry will be wiped out
of existence, first because it takes sea
island cotton from five to six months
to mature a full crop, and second
owing to the sugar or saccharine mat
ter contained in this type Of cotton
The boil weevi!s, like many other ami:
mails, have sweet tooth, and it has
been found that in the sections now
infested with boil weevils that both
sea island and Egyptian cotton will
scarcely set q boil, simply because the
weevils prefer this sweet tasted cot
ton to the upland kinds, in which
there is very little sugar.
Our hope for the producing long
cotton must be based upon improving
our upland long cotton up to stan
dard sea islar:lSTAONIaDofudlm
dard where it will grade with the
present sea island Hundreds of
bales of upland long cotton have sold
as high as 21 cents in the interior
markets of this State this season,
while the lower grades of sea island
both in Savannah and Charleston
have sold as low as 21 cents.
Some varieties of upland long cot
ton will mature full crop in ninety
days, or nearly half the time that it
takes sea island to mature a crop.
Only early planted and early ma
turing cotton can be made profitable
in boil weevil sections. Early plant
ing and an early variety of cotton
will mature almost normal crop in
any boil weevil section, but late
planting, and late varieties make
very little. Therefore, should the
boil Weevil enter our coast country,
the sea island cotton industry is
doomed. The future hope of long
cotton is improving the upland long
staples to class with the sea island.
They are not so far apart now, and
the careful breeder can in few
years reach that point. South Caro-
lima has improved the upland long
cotton more than any other State,
and there is no reason why it cannot
yet be improved. Man has never
erfected anything. improvements
and the cotton grower can make i'm
provements with cotton. A. w.

It seems that every member OF the
general assembly was thoroughly I'M
pressed by the honesty and sincerity
of Governor Manning in regard to
the State Hospital for the Insane.
The governor was roundly criticised
bv. his political opponents for his
stand in the State hospital matter,
and all sorts of predictions were made
as to what would happen when the
legislature met. Well, nothing hap
pened, except the governor was
unanimously endorsed for his inter-
est in the welfare of the unfortunate
inmates of the hospital.

In speaking of the improvement OF
some South Carolina weeklies, the
Greenwood Journal, one of the best
dailies in the State, says:
''Of course every newspaper should
have news, but there is right and {.
wrong way to serve news which
makes all the difference imaginable.
1t is the difference between meal
that is we'll prepared and elegantly
served, and one that is we'll prepared,
but poorly served. A newspaper may
have it's news service and it's edi-
torials all right, but if it is poorly
printed with badly set ads, it stabs it.
self right in the heart; for no one
likes to handle newspaper that is all
besmeared with ink and dirt. There
is even an arrangement of the ads,
after they have been properly set,
that deserves careful attention.
Whatever else may be done with
them it will never do to run ads on
the first page"
This is we'll said. We do not
think that the average weekly gives
enough attention. to the manner in
which it serves it's subscribers. There
is another thing that is not mention
ed by the Journal; that is the man
ner in which large majority OF
weeklies and dailies hash up news
matter in order to print "position
advertisements. 1t is the policy of
this newspaper not to run 'position
ads at all unless they can be so
placed that they do not interfere with
the reading matter. In fact we real
w do not care to handle them at all,
and our experience is that weekly
will not lose much by refusing to give
position to any advertiser. OF course
we do not expect many newspapers to
agree with us on this matter, and we
do not attempt to say that it is the
right way, but it is the way we look
at it. We do know that The Herald
is now running many contracts with
the position clause stricken out and
that we see the same advertisements
being run with full position in other
papers. And we imagine that we are
paid just as much for our space as
they. We think that the subscribers
should come first with a newspaper,
and that they are entitled to a clean
paper. we'll printed, and that they
should not be burdened with con-
fronting an advertisement in the
midst of a news article.

Boys Here and There.

In America we are training in our
public schools an army of boys; train
ing them to enter the marts of trade,
the industrial life of a busy nation;
training them to take up the serious
part of life where their fathers shall
leave off. Sometimes we contem-
plate with sadness what this transi-
ton means. 1t seems cruel even in
peace.
In France today 100000 boys,
still in their teens, boys almost too
young to think of serious things,
BOYS whose lives ought yet to be
lived, are to be called upon to pay
the dreadful price of war. They car
~ a new spirit into the carnage;
they carry away with them also the
hope of a suffering nation, which
must rely upon the new generation
to build up when the destruction is
ended.
The same sad chapter comes in the
war story of every nation. Always
the age limit descends rapidly. Al,
ways war comes down to the youth
of the nation.
The number Of Northern men in
our own civil war are given at g.
77S,000, which is somewhat deceiv'
ing, because this total includes man!
re-enlistments. Some men were
counted more than once. But of this
total 2,15O,O00 were FL years old OF
younger; of that number 1,150,00(
were IS years or younger, and O.
these 100000 were 16 or younger
We have no figures for the Southerr
army but the ages ran even lower
and the proportion of younger me1
who gave up their lives was larger
that after the war the South faced
reconstruction far more helpless.
And modern machine-fought war
| fare consumes much faster than thu
warfare of former centuries. The
