Boil WeeviI MovIno RanIdIv

Clemson College There Is consid.
cradle speculation as 70 the advance
Of the boil weevil toward South Caro-.
lima Prof. A. f. Conradi said that the
state crop pest con mission has kept
IN close touch with the holl weevil
situation and that during the past two
seasons the pest had moved eastward
at an unusual rate. There has been a
continual eastward spread this season
and according to the latest rcnort of
the state entomolOgist OF Georgia
which has just been received. the
weevil has been found As miles west
Of the South Carolina border. He
thinks that in all probability the pest
will reach this state by the end Of this
season. Prof Conradi says that the
fall dispersal season Is approaching.
The weevils scatter just before going
into winter quarters.

10 RESTORE OLD STATE ROAD
Federal Engineers Regard Project TO
Rehabilitate Famous Old Highway
as Entirely Feasible.

Columbia. Efforts that have been
under way for some time to recon-
struct and reopen the direct line from
Columbia to Charleston, known as
the Old State road. took definite
shape in Columbia at IA conference
held at the offices of the department
or agriculture. commerce and indus
tries. Much enthusiasm was mani
tested, and the next ten days will tell
the tale as TO whether or not a proper
main highway will be opened from
the city of Charleston in time for the
fall and winter traffic.
The conference was called by
Commissioner Watson, who has been
cooperating with the central com
mittee formed at meeting some
weeks ago at Holly Hill for the pur-
pose of going over the entire situa-
tion and seeing whether il was con
sidered worth while to attempt to do
with the old state road what was ac-
complished last season with the Ap.
palachian highway.
There was present at the confer.

the territory and had presented graft

dollars
1t was manifest. he said. that the
only way that any highway could be
established connecting the most i'm
portant and attractive city i'm the
state with the capital and the inter
Tor, possibly for years 10 come. was
through the means OF combined
effort on the part OF the people OF
the towns and cities concerned and
the people living along the line; that
the people had been waiting for years
for something to be done. and there
was not a single connection worthy
of the name of highway between the
coast, the capital and the interior.
The people around Holly Hill and in
that section had already manifested
an absorbing interest, had raised con
siderable money AM had pledged
contributions OF teams and labor.
and it was simply now a question as
TO whether or not those who would
benefit from the rcporing of the high
way and the turning of the tide OF
traffic in that direction wished to
pull together in one general move
ment to push the thing through

NEUTRALITY OF SWEDEN is
NOW ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
Entente Allies Claim Scandinavian
Country Not SO Loyal and Impair

London.-The relations between
Sweden and the Entente Powers are
attracting unusual attention here
and there is every indication that the
situation threatens to become some.
what tense With the dispute as to
mail seizures still unsettled there
now has arisen the charge by the En-
tente Allies that the neutrality OF
Sweden is not so loyal and impartial
aa Il should be. This has drawn
from Stockholm a reply as tart and
crisp as some Of the notes in the mail
controversy which were characterized
By Viscount Grey as containing words
not usually found in diplomatic cor
respondence
The new point of contact with
Sweden is the outgrowth of the prac-
dee OF belligerent shipping in using
Swedish territorial waters for all Bal
tic traffic. Within the safety OF this
neutral three-mile limit, England and
other Entente Nations have sailed
defently in and out OF the Baltic
paying not the slightest heed to the
German feet looking on from the
outer waters. Similarly German mer-
chant ships have sailed up and down
tho west coast of Sweden. heavily
ladon with foodstufrs and iron ores,
while Russian destroyers in the north
ern reaches of the Baltic have been
importent to act.

Campaigns are also in progress

Of these measures will carry.
The municipalities OF the state
are asking for Legislation that will
enable them to make better provl-

visions under proper restrictions
will be insisted upon IN the new

will be asked to enact certain laws
that will provide some relief even

( "Such cases are frequent, ," replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected &c
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malaria
germ thriyes, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Brights
disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi'

will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

REV, A. \. SYKES
NOW TESTIFIES
Minister OF the Gospel Thinks IL
Ms Duty TO Make Statement
About Wonderful Chance.

AuUul VuVuti lut NHuHuts
Il Is seldom, indeed, that men of
prominence, especially ministers Of
the gospel, willingly express their
Indebtedness publicly 10 propri.
etary medicine. However, when a
medicine obtains that singular puri-
ty aud efficiency that is shown by
the uniform preparation, tanlae,
statements from our best citizens
are TO be considered thoroughly
commensurate with the good that Is
actually being accomplished.
Rev. A. II. Sykes, pastor Of the
Watkins Park Presbyterian Church,
Nashville, Tenn, prominent not
only as a minister Of the gospel,
but popular as 4 man and citizen
who has been true TO his friends and
every trust ever reposed IN him,
sad recently:
"For the past ten months Mrs.
Sykes has been in very delicate
health, suffering from had stomach
aud kidney troubles, which gradu.
ally developed into a general nerv-
Gus breakdown. At times her con.
ditiou became alarming, and fire.
quently sought medical advice, but
nothing we could do for her seemed
10 bring relief.
"In fact, she suffered so long and
so much that / feel il my duty to
let everyone know what this medi.
cine has done for her. For several
months her condition was such that
she had to remain in bed, aud as a
last resort | decided to let her try
ranlac.
81 am a conservative man and
have always been skeptical regard.
ing the use Of proprietary medicines
but this case has certainly proven
an exception. am now firmly
convinced that Tanlac is a medicine
OF great power and extraordinary
merit. | do not think have ever
seen ANYTHING to give such prompt
results. Mrs. Sykes had taken only
two-thirds OF bottle of this medi-
cine when We began to notice a
marked improvement IN her oondi
lion. In less than a week from the
time she began takingit she was
able to sit up aud is today able to
help with the household duties. Be.
fore she began taking Tanlac, she
had fearful pains in her side, and
suffered constantly from sour stom-
ach and indigestion and was iR-
tensely nervous. These distressing
symptoms, | am thankful to say,
have entirely disappeared, her aP-
petite has returned and she seems
to relish everything she eats. She
sleeps better and Is gaining strength
and flesh rapidly. l think 1t only
question of a short time until her
health is fully restored.
"Tanlac has certainly proven
remarkable remedy IN her case and
will do all you claim for 1t. l
cheerfully recommend 1t to my
friends" Tanlac Is sold in Poca-
hontas, exclusively by Prrngle Drug
