Wh'c Augusta is situatd. and bor-

This brings the boil weevil quite
close TO us, much closer than it has
been before. At the rate Of progress
that it has made in years past. it is
entirely possible for the boil weevil
to make its appearance in Anderson
county next summer.
What are we going TO do about
it?
There are good many thingsSthat
we can do, but the obvious thing To
do is to begin to plan to get along
without cotton. or at least without as
much of it as we have been accus-
toned to. And the time to do that
isfright now. We will suffer great

Now is the time to begin planning

Grain and legume crops can be sown

A farm that produces its own food

crop is a failure. but the farm that
depends on cotton alone is doomed.

be remembered in connection with

ELIOT'S ENDORSEMENT.

DR.. Chas. w. Eliot has come out
for Wilson and in doing so gave 10
the country some of the strongest
Wilson arguments yet advanced.
Eliot sums il up eloquently i'm the
statement that the Democratic
party has done such an extraordinary
amount OF good work during the
present administration that the pc
riod from 1912 to 1916 will be
memorable in the history of the
United States; and, secondly. that
the man chiefly responsible for this
consummate service to the Ameri-
can people should be again made
their chief servant" He goes so far
as to say that lin three years and a
half the Democratic party, led by
Woodrow Wilson, has done much
more for the country than the Re-
publican party accomplished in five
times as many years" That is going
IT rather strong. but who wants 10
