Not Boil Weevil.

During the past week farmers
along the Plank" road leading
from Trenton to Augusta have been
alarmed over the appearance of an
insect which has damaged cotton
on some farms considerably. As it
attacked the small forms and in ap'
~pearance resembles the pesky weev-
il, a great many persons felt conf
dent that the weevll had arrived a
year or two in advance of the sche.
dule time. However, one of the
little unwelcome creatures vas sent
to Clemson College and an examin,
alton made by an expert who stated
that it was not the boil weevil.
When this information was flashed
over the wires to Trenton it brought
relief to scores Of farmers who were
in great suspense. While the weey.
il is not here yet, it is coming and
the experience of some farmers of
a few days ago should be of profit
to all of us. When the weevil does
come farmers will be better off if
they are prepared for its coming by
having other crops besides cotton to
fall back upon.

Well Deserved Promotion.

Mr.. Robert Long has resigned as
cashier and bookkeeper of the Addi-
son Mills and has accepted a better
position with the Johnston Oil
Mill, the change to take effect about
the first of August. Mr.. Long came
to Edgefeld several years ago prac-
tically without experience in office
work and accepted a position with
the Beaver Dam mill. When the
property changed hands he was re-
tanned and has made good in every
place he has filled in the Office.
While we rejoice in his promo
ton, yet it is with profound regret
that Edgefeld has to give up Mr..
and Mrs. Long. The acceptance OF
the new position makes necessary
his removal to Johnston.

The Times regretting the full truth

The new Year Book for the Swedish

VORWAERTS FOR
RUSSIAN PEACE

Copenhagen. July 31.-Ever since the
Russian revolution the Berlin Social
list newspaper Norwaerts has steadily
argued against attempts 70 effect a
separate peace with Russia. Now.
however. the journal has swung around
and is advocating the separate peace
idea althoughsin modified form.
1t suggests to the government the
negotiation of a treaty with Russia
embodying an explicit declaration that
Germany, regardless of the outcome
Of the war, would refrain from any in
tringement of the territories or rights
of Russia's weston allies. On the
strength of this Vorwaerts contends,
Russia could declare herself bound
only by defensive alliance and aban-
don the war.
