the problem as to whether wine used

Cole L. Blease Begins
His State Campaign

Mr.. Blease said, was one of the lead
ing corporation lawyers in the up
country, being attorney for the West
ern Union Telegraph company. The
Blease people offered the convention
a farmer instead, but he was turned
down" for corporation man. He
said that the reason he suggested Gov
Manning as q member of the big
four" to the national Democratic con-
vention was because he respected the
governors office, not because he has
one grain of respect for Richard l..
Manning.
He hooted at the idea Of saying
that factionalism was dead, charging
that the present administration car
ried everything its own way by the
use of the "steam roller" showing
the strongest sort of bias and preJu-
dice. -,
Mr.. Blease said that he was glad
that the convention had turned down
the request of the warehouse commits
sioner for a place on the programme.
He said that he had told Mr.. Nc
Laurin to follow the campaign this
summer. He himself, he had promis-
ed, would announce from every
stump that Mr.. McLaurin would fol-
low and if the people wanted to learn
something about the warehouse they
would wait after the others hao
spoken.
No Place for Factions.
In conclusion, the former governor
said that it was a disgrace to the
State to hear people going around
talking about "Bleaseism" and MAN
ningism;" that there is no such thing
in existence, and it has no place In
South Carolina. "I'll ask no man for
a vote, I am honest apout that" ne
said. "My only desire is to show the
people of my State what is going on;
I care nothing about your votes. The
whole matter hinges itself on one
question: Are you for the people or
are YOU for the corporations
moneyed interests?
At the conclusion of the former
governors speech, Claude N: Sapp,
assistant attorney general, dehVereo
a strong adress. He came as rep
resentative of the attorney generals
office, in the absence Of Mr.. Peoples,
who was detained at, his Office on &C
count of important business matters,
it was announced.
The meeting was presided over by
George Bell Zimmerman, who was IN
troduced to the audience by Senator
Sharpe, who said that he was not
strong enough to stand the strain. So
licitor Zimmerman, introduced the
other speakers, but before doing so,
made a brief address, announcing his
own candidacy for reelection to the
Office of solicitor of the Eleventh cir
cult, a position he has held for IL
years. He renewed the promise ne
made during his first candidacy, the
promise to serve the people by dis
charging his duties without fear or
favor.
Col. E. ]. Watson, commissioner OF
agriculture, who had accepted an IN,
vitation to make an address, could
not be present. Col. Watson sent q
note Of regrets by T. P: Huffman, IN
which he said that his throat was IN
such condition that he could not
speak above a whisper.

SPENT $500 IN
HUNT FOR RELIEF
FATHER TELLS OF TERRIBLE
SUFFERING HIS DAUGHTER,
ENDURED.

Just two and half bottles of Tan
lac have benished in three (3) weeks
the stomach trouble with which Mrs.
Mary G. Kernels, of 16 Hammett St.,
Anderson, S. c., suffered and which,
during the preceding eleven (11)
months had caused her to have at
least two hundred (200) convulsions,
said her father, G. W. Hale, Of 18
Hammett ST., Anderson.
Mr.. Hale said he, with others, had
laid out Mrs. Kernels body at least
two hundred (2O0) times during the
past eleven (11) months, each time
thinking her dead. 81 hoped she
really was dead" he said, $50 she
would not have to longer endure
that awful suffering"
Mr.. Hale's statement follows, and
it is one of the most remarkable that
has yet come to the attention of the
Tanlac representative:
"For five years my. daughter, Mrs.
Mary G.. Kernels, suffered after eat
ing, the most severe attacks of indi-
gestion. We had tried every way to
find relief for her suffering, but with
out success. She had even been
under the knife at a hospital, during
the past year we spent at least six
hundred $4,000 dollars for doctors
bills for her, but Tanlac was the only
medicine which gave her relief. Tan
lac is the greatest medicine on earth.
"Her suffering was so intense and
so terrible that it caused her to go
into a kind of convulsion. We had
laid her out, thinking she was dead
at least two hundred (2OO) times in
the past eleven months. Scores Of
times when she was laid out, I hoped
that she really was dead, so she would
not have tc longer endure that awful
suffering.
"But, she was relieved in just two
(2) weeks by Tanlac, and now, fif-
teen (15) days after she began tax
ing it, she is up and goes out visiting,
though she had been confined to her
bed six (6) weeks before she began
taking Tanlac."
Mrs. Kernels, who lives at 16 Ham,
NETT St., said: 81 suffered from
chronic stomach trouble, and steadily
became worse despite all treatment.
Last simmer I was twice operated
on, without gaining relief. I was
told my case was hopeless, but I be-
gan taking Tanlac and the very first
dose decreased the intensity of those
awful attacks which followed each
meal. I have taken two and a half
e " bottles of Tanlac, and have
gained ten (10) pounds in weight. I
am doing MY housework now, and do
not suffer those attacks"
Mrs. Kernels father and his wife,
her husband and a neighbor were
present during these conversations.
Evans Pharmacy, Anderson, will
be pleased to answer any inquiries
regarding the above statements.

FARM AND GROVE IN FLORIDA
Agricultural News Service University of Florida
College of Agriculture

The brown fungus is the most
efficient of the entomogenous fun
gi that attack whitefiy because II
is capable of spreading by its veg
etative branches from one larya
to another and does not have to
depend on spores entirely. 1t does
not produce as many spores as the
red fungus and consequently is
harder to get started in a grove
by spraying.
Since the red fungus is neither
so efficient and since it does not
grow as we'll in the fall as the
brown Mr.. Watson urges growers
to obtain the brown if they can,
Unfortunately fungus material
cannot be transported legally
from one grove to another under
rulings of the State Plant Board
because it is apt to carry diseas-
es. However, growers may find
colonies of the brown in their
groves and foster their spread.

Traps Help Control Flies

The best way to control flies is
to treat or destroy their breeding
places. This can best be done by
community or neighborhoOd coop
Grafton. There are other means
which supplement this work or
which help individual farmers to
control flies where cooperation
cannot be had. The fytrap will
be a valuable help in reducing the
number of flies that come to clean
premises from places that are In
sanitary and in catching those
which escape other means that
may be employed against them.
f. S. Pace, district agent for the
University of Florida Extension
Division, refers those farmers
who wish to use fytraps to Farm
er's Bulletin 734 of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This bulletin will be sent free on
request by addressing the Depart
ment at Washington ID. C. Sew
eral types of fytraps are describ-
ed in this bulletin and it contains
directions for making them. The
best form is the conical hoop trap
which can be made for about IS
cents.

Community Can Control Mos.
Quitoes

Do you know that the mosaui-
to that sang his blood-thirsty
song in your ear last night was
bred i'll your neighborhood ? Mos
qultoes are loath to wander and,
If they can find a host that will
entertain them, will not travel
more than quarter of a mile.
They may drift a few miles with
the wind, but the blame for mos
qultoes in any community can be
placed with that community. The
malarial mosquito is less inclined
to travel than the ordinary mos
quito.
Mosquitoes are bred in stagnant
water, They will not be found in
running streams except, perhaps,
in pools of still water at the shore.
They do not reach maturity in
streams or ponds stocked with
fish for fish feed on the larvae,
Their favorite breeding places are
in water that is too filthy for fish
to live in, in open sewers, ponds,
mud holes, tin cans, rain barrels,
cisterns and clogged caves
troughs.
Any community can control the
mosquitoes by concerted action, ac-
cording to j. r. Watson, entomol-
ogist to the University of Flori-
da Experiment Station. Swamps
and pools which contain stagnant
water should be drained, and o.
pen sewers should be covered. But
even when this is done the tin
cans, rain barrels and other re-
/ ceptacles which hold water will
supply breeding places for enough
mosquitoes to stock the whole
neighborhood. These receptacles
are usually overlooked, because
they are not so noticeable. Every
place that holds water several
days should be drained or cover.

Summer Pruning Helps Control
Stem End Rot

Stem end rot is another disease
that must be treated before it ap-
pears. The fungus which causes
it lives in the dead wood of the
tree and infests the fruit several
weeks before the disease appears.
1t is too late then to do anything.
Precautionary measures must be
taken before the fruits are infest-
ed.
Several factors combine to give
stem-end rot an entrance to the
fruit. The first is the existence
of the disease in the dead wood.
The next is a weakening and
wounding of fruits around the
stem by purple-scales. Purple seal
es are fostered by a mold, which
grows on the honeydew scattered
by whitefy larvae. Stem end ro,
fungus cannot enter strong Wig
orous tissue, but fruit weakened
or wounded by these or other a
gencies is subject to attack. Con
troll of these other diseas
es will help to control stem enc
rot.
Perhaps the most important
step in control is pruning out the
dead wood, according to H. E
Stevens, plant pathologist to the
University of Florida Experiment
Station. This removes the pri
mary source of infection. The
latter part of July OF early part Of
August is perhaps the best time tt
prune. The same pruning will al
so help control wither tip and mel
anose, since the fungi which caus'
these diseases live in dead Woo
also.
Even tho the stem end rot fun
gus does not enter the fruit it ma.
run over the surface and make tn
rind scabby.

Brown Fungus Most Efficient A.
gainst Whitefiy

June and July are probably
the best months to put whitefiy
fungi in the citrus groves, but the
brown fungus may not develop if
applied that early. J. r. Watson,
entomologist to the University of
Florida Experiment Station, sug-
gests that those growers who fail
ed to obtain a catch of the brown
at the first spraying may do so
during August. This fungus is
particularly late summer and au-
tumn form. Under natural condi-
tons it seldom appears before Au-
gust, but will often continue to
grow well into November if the
weather is sufficiently moist.
