Another Year.
If the weeyil should cover the state

and thence to a line stlanting west
ward to Anderson, by next year, the
following year. in the opinion of Col
onel Watson, would put him across
the whole state and the Piedmont
conditions and climate are ideal for
his approach. The present indica'
tions seem to be that he will have
covered tle state by the end of the
year 1918. and that in 1918 he viii.
be doing damage in approximately
one-third of the State
The estimate given refers to the
migration of the weevil and does not
mean that he will do any harm in this
state next year. The history of the
weevil seems to show that the dam
age comes the following year to the
area which has been covered. For IN
stance, while there has been consid-
cradle damage in forty counties in
Georgia this year, the weevil has COW
cred an area considerably greater than
the forty counties in which the dam
ace has resulted. If he should cover
the western portion of the state next
year, the damage resulting would
come the following year, and so on,
the whole state being within his
clutches, so far as damages is con-
cerned, during 1919. but consider

WILL FLOOR TENTS
FOR MILITIA BOYS
Adintant General Considers Plan for
Comfort Of Returning National
Guard Companies.
T he State.

The State.
W. w Moore, adjutant general, be-
gan to prepare yesterday for the re-
turn of the First regiment. National
Guard of South Carolina, to Camp
N7~ore at StvX in Lexington county.
The regiment has been ordered back
by the war department and is expect
ed to reach Camp Moore in about 10
days. The adjutant general was COLI.
sidering plans yesterday for flooring
the tents at Camp Moore.
Opinion was divided in military
circles as to whether an order for the
return of the Second regiment will
be issued in a few days The opin-
ion was expressed that Troop A. cav
airy, Charleston Light Dragons, will
be kept on the border for several
months, because Of the great efficien-
cy Of the unit.
It is probable that Capt. J. NJ. Gra-
ham, U. S. A. who has been on duty
at mobilization camps in the North,
will be ordered back to Columbia to
muster out the South Carolina
troops. He is the inspecpr-instruc-
tor Of the South Carolina National
Guard and was detailed temporarily
to the work in the North.
The adjutant general said yester-
day that Camp Moore is in fairly
good condition for the reception OF
the troops. Floors for the tents is
the immediate need Of the camp
and Gen. Moore is now making esti-
mates as to the cost OF the work for
the department of the East.
"I believe that the troops will be
returned to South Carolina in about
10 days. said the adjutant general.
The actual mastering out Of the var
ious companies will require several
weeks. 1t is safe to say that the men
and officers of the First regiment,
after three months duty on the bor-
der. will be returned to their home
stations early in December.
The First regiment is now con-
sidered one of the best in the border
service. The companies won high
praise from the officers in command.

Bryan's Dream.
GreenyilIe News

GreenVllIe News.
William Jennings Bryan, great
preacher, peer Of any in the teachings
Of prohibition and Of general morali-
ty, discredited secretary Of State,
thrice defeated candidate for the pres
idency, former Peerless Leader, and
so on. must feel glow of great and
quiet satisfaction at the apparent out
come Ct this election. Bryan, many
years ago. strove nightly to unite the
South and the West, to form an Of
fensive alliance which would defeat
the money centers, and the thickly
populated centers Of the East. Up
al down the country he went preach
ing the union of the South and West.
Once he came very near accomplishing
tic end he sought, his free silver ad-
vocacy appealing to the West. But
never could he quite realize his dream.
1t has been characteristic Of this man
that he does not realize any Of his
dreams for himself, yet sees them re.
allied through the agency Of others.
He is essentially propagandist, but
unsuccessful in efforts to get for him
self the high places.
Now, and when it was not expect
ed, Bryan sees the South and the West
combine, and in the most marvellous
fashion, win, or seemingly win, one
Of the greatest races ever known. The
East was almost as solidly Republi-
can as the South was Democratic.
The tsates, ordinarily thought to be
pivotal, to be all important, find them
selves, with the exception of Ohio, on
the losing side. Political predictions
are scattered and serned All dope"
has been upset. The South, Demo-
cratic by prejudice, prediction, con-
viction and every other way, found
an unexpected ally in the West. The
West, content with good prices, the
place where radical ideas scare no
one, the progressive part Of the coun-
try-the Golden West, came grandly
to the rescue of the South and placed
in the Democratic column the votes
so sorely needed. The same West
that had been regarded as the right
full stamping ground of the fiery Col
onel, needed not to the wild appeals
of this great man. The West did what
Bryan has long begged it to do. The
West proved itself unbound By po-
litical prejudice; showed itself con-
ten to let we'll enough alone, indicated
it's preference for honorable peace.
The outcome of the election is lit
tie short of marvellous. The small
states rose up and won the day. The
big states, hitherto dictators, the
states which were thought essential,
are left out in the cold The Demo-
cratic party,-no, not the party so
much, but the Democratic nominee,
defeated a united Republican party.
beat the greatest political organiza-
ton this country has ever known. The
President, had he not been greatly
superior in strength to his party,
would have gone down in defeat. It
is the West that the President has to
thank for the victory, and that victory
is sweeter because it came in an un-
expected manner, because it over
threw traditions and standpat paths
of procedure. Candidates were judged
on merit and not fully because of
party affiliations.
The dream of Bryan came true.
The South and the West, combined, are
stronger than the East and North

All sunshine today, then tomorrow

of Georgia, he said iris morning has
probably put up the most intelligent
and effective fight that has yet been
luadr against the weevil approach.
Quite a number of varieties Of cotton
have been developed in Georgia to
meet the wtevil conditions, some OF
which We already have in South Car
olina, which can be used to tremen-
dous advantage. For instance said
Colonel Watson, the Toole pedigreed
fahts the weevil very well, and they
have another variety that fights him
Seer than that, called the Express,
which has not yet been introduced in
this state, that has proven the best
fighter ever found, and in many in
stances, where the cultivation and
other conditions have been favor
able, they have succeeded in ralsin9
a bale of cotton to the acre under
boll weevil conditions. OF course,
there is more or less hysteria, but in
Georgia they are all taking notice,
from the information furnished them,
and it behooves the people Of South
Carolina to get ready"
How to Get Ready.
Diversified farming is the only ei-
fective weapon against the boil weevil
danger. That the grain market offers
great inducements to farmers, has
been pointed out in previous issues. OF
course it is not small grain alone We
recommend, there ought to be truck,
forage. poultry and cattle raising,
everything necessary to feed man and
beast should be produced on the farm.
Recent cattle shows have given good
impetus to cattle raising, and as a
money maker it is vesy good branch
of diversified farming. The grain crop
however, promises better. prices now
than perhaps ever before in the his
tory of the United States. A close
study Of our todays figures under the
caption, "The Wheat Market" is here
by recommended:
The credit system is the curse OF the
cottonT belt. 1t sweeps the earnings
of toll from the masses into the Golfers
Of the few. Some years ago the COM
missioner of agriculture OF Georgia
after careful inquiry Of several hun
dred found that the average rates
charged the farmers for extension Of
credit from April and May to October
and November was "a por cent per an
nun, over and above the cash price.
Wives and children were compelled to
work in the heat and cold from jan
uary until December TO pay the "a per
cent credit profits. Diversihcation OF
crops will practically abolish the
edit system.
Grow Rather Than Import Products.
We are sending millions of dollars
to other sections Of the country every
year to pay for farm products. Di-
versifcation of crops will keep this
money at home, our banks will be
FL to overhowing and the rate of in
terest lowered to say, per cent, be-
cause of the abundance of money.
Then we Will have the necessary mon

Millions Sent Out For Live Stock
Every farmer should raise his own
farm work stock. 1t is true that mil
lions are sent out of the cotton belt
each year for mules and horses but
this is not the main reason why our
attention is called to this subject at
this time. Probably one OF the TWO
chief causes Of poverty in the cotton
belt is the one-horse ploT. The small
mule and a turning plow is guaran-
tee Of shallow soil devoid Of vegetable
matter.
Farmers who buy their work stock
never have enough for the most eco
nomical productions of crops. We nave
about one-fourth the horse power and
earn about one-fourth as much mon
ey as farmers in some other sections
of the country.
Farmers who buy feedstuffs to feed
plov teams never raise sufficient farm
work stock to supply their needs. We
huy feedstuffs and this is the main rea-
son why we have about one-fourth as
manv horses and mules as farmers IN
other sections of the country.
We can save the millions Of dollars
paid out for mules and horses eacn
year and bring in millions from the
sale Of mules and horses, but a great
or profit will come from securing IN
this way sufficient work stock for
economical crop production.
What a One.Crop System Means.
!. Poor soil.
2. Small crops
9. The credit system,
Work unevenly distributed.
5. Injurious insects and plant dis
eases.
6. Cotton money sent to other sec
tions for farm products.
+ Scarce money and high rate OF
interest
s. Poor people. poorly equipped
forms uncomfortable homes, bad
reads. poorly paid teachers sad
