The Boil Wcevil May Cover South
Carolina in Two Years and North
Carolina i'm Five.

NafOilna In rive.
With movement for 1916 unpre-
cedented in its extent the boil wee
VII has now established itself along
the shore of the Atlantic from the
mouth Of the Savannah River south
ward to the Florida line, distance of
some 125 miles. From the mouth of
the savannah River, north by north
west, the river is the eastern limit of
lnfestation until Richmond county.
Ga, is reached, where the line turns
more to the west, running diagonal
iy across north Georgia to Floyd
county, where it enters northeast
Alabama
TWO years ago, so far as is known.
NOT Doll weevil had been found in
Georgia; today full four-fifths of the
cotton-producing area of the state is
infested. During the same period
Alabama has become entirely infest-
co. as has a considerable portion of
tennessee, and nearly all of the cot
ton-producing areas of Arkansas and
oklahoma. For some unknown rea-
son the weevil during the past two
years has broken all records in the
extent of its migratory movement and
new areas invaded. If it's rate for
the past two years is kept up, two
more years will find South Carolina
wholly covered, and five years will
suihce to put the weevil all over
North Carolina and we'll into the cot
on-growing counties of southeast Vir-
ginia.
The outlook, while alarming, is by
no means hopeless. Cotton has been
and is being produced at profit I'M
der boil weevil conditions, but in
most cases the fight has not been an
easy one. Farmers have failed and
mortgages have been foreclosed; mer-
chants and bankers have gone down
because of crop failures and bad COL
lectons.
farmers who have succeeded in spite
of the weevil, and the example of
these has been followed by others,
with a gradual return to prosperous
conditions. Nearly all of Texas and
Louisiana are now in better condition
than before the weevil came, and the
only regret they have is that a sound
policy was not agreed on by farmers
and business men in the beginning,
and then adhered to. Instead there
was much houndering about, one
man advocating this and one that,
without any sort of concerted effort.
Cotton will very probably continue
to be the main cash crop of the South
despite the boil wcovil, but it must be
made purely surplus crop after all
needed food and feed crops have been
crown, along With an abundance of
winter and summer legumes to MAIN
-ain and increase soil fertility. Fol-
lowing such policy has put MANY
NeeNil-riddon sections on their feet
ma every thinking farmer and busi-
less man in newly invaded territory
should aim at n similar policv IN his

The Draft.

It is now estimated that 5000 names
will be drawn from the wheel on draft
day in this District to insure the full
quota The number beyond the quota
will be necessary in view Of the fact
that many exemptions are likely to be
claimed, SO that the net enrolment is
much smaller than the total number Of
names drawn. Thus somewhat less than
one-tenth Of the registrants will be
summoned either directly to the colors
or to present their claims for exemption
If they desire to offer them.
Every precaution has been taken
against error and mischance in the
drawing Of the names. It is assured
that there will be no favoritism in the
drawing, and the exemption boards are
SO organized that favoritism in the ad-
mission Of exemption claims is virtual
~ impossible. This draft for national
service will be as fair, as clean and as
complete an exercise of chance choice as
can be conceived and arranged.

swer then for what as senators or rep
resentatives they are at present saying
and doing.
This, in q measure, explains much Of
the caution observable on Capitol Hill
today. Amendments to bills are voted
in and then out. If anything voted In
has the appearance little later Of be-
ing "loaded," out 1t goes. Nobody wants
to take chances. Rivals at homo are
following the proceedings closely, and
noting all slips and apparent contradic-
tons.
It is all very well. It is politics. Men
come and go. Issues arise, and are set
tied. But the game, in essentials, is
little changed by time. Some play it
better than others. All play 1t as we'll
as they can. The man in tries to stay
in. The man out wants to get in. In
that way the pool is kept well stirred
from year to year.

Law and Order.

A detachment Of the Missouri Ma.
tional Guard, under the command of
Maj. William stepp, was sent to Flat
River, Mo-, to assist the civil authorities
in handling the labor troubles at that
point A delegation of the miners
charged with lawless acts waited on
Maj. stepp and stated their grievances
in these terms:
1--WE want only chance to 20 work
and support our families without being
thrown out to make room for foreign
ers. We have killed no one; we do not
think any one has been hurt; we have
destroyed no property. But the mining
companies are discharging Americans
and it is against that that We protest. !"
To this Maj. Stepp made reply:
ave are here to preserve law and or
der, to protect life and property. Under
the laws Of this country all have q right
to work and to live unmolested."
The officer spoke to the point, and
packed a great deal into few words
Law and order everywhere should be
present. Life and property everywhere
should be protected. The right of men
everywhere to work should be undis.

Mr.. Marshall on the Session.

The Vice President is q man Of good
nature, with a sense Of humor. He Is
firing Of the session. He fears October
may find Congress still wrestling with
the public business. His fears may be
well founded. There is still much to be
done, and debate inheres in all of it.
The Missouri spirit has spread all over
the country. "Show me" is the demand
wherever proposition is presented.
Mr.. Marshalps duties must be trying
to man Of his talents and training.
When at the bar he was an advocate.
Before taking his present office he was
active and successful in politics as a
speaker and organizer. He was a dis
tinguished member Of what he now good
naturally and humorously describes as
"the wind squad" His party at home
considered itself fortunate in the pos
session of so ready and attractive an
orator. It put him forward on all i'm
portant occasions, and he acquitted him
self SO we'll he was rewarded first with
the goyernorship Of his state, and then
with the Office he now holds.
Consider, then, the advocate and pop
ular orator made into sort Of judge,
and condemned to listen while others
talk. The topics entertain him, but he
is not permitted to add word himself
to their calculation. Moments must be
frequent when he strongly desires to
take hand with his tongue, Dublin
fashion. But his lips are sealed by his
official commission. Points Of order and
motions to adjourn afford him his only
opportunity to exercise his voice in the
chamber.
So when the Vice President expresses
some amiable impotence with the prog
ress Of business in the Senate we must
all make allowance for the situation. If
he were more than an observer-and he
is fitted to be much more-the pace
would not appear slow. He would him
self be so full Of "the joy of battle" the
rattle and bang Of the engagement would
be music to his ears.
Whether adjournment comes soon or
late-September l or October 1-or not
at all-the special merging in the regu-
lar session-does not 50 much matter
as that while there is business for Con-
gress to transact it should take it in
hand and dispose Of it with due regard
for its importance in the general plan
for conducting the war. And, of course,
while Congress sits the Vice President
will sit with it, glad, as at all times, to
do his bit in the country's behalf.

time exercise the utmost prudence and
the strictest sense Of Justice In the man
agement Of their help. The times are
abnormal. Everybody-at tho top, at
the bottom and midway-is on edge. A
hasty or nl-considered word or act by
one in authority or out Of 1t may cause
far-reaching and disastrous trouble.
The merest spark may start conflagra-
ton.
It is as true, too, that employees should
be thoroughly considerate Of tho rights
and interests Of their employers. This
is no time for i'll nature or unreason-
ableness. We are all in the same boat !;
the boat Is crowded, the water dashed to
a fury, and the voyage perilous in the
extreme. II we land in anything like
good shape 1t will be due to teamwork
among the crew, and the proper man
agement of the craft.
Although we are at war, tho courts
are open and the civil laws in operation.
Grievances growing out Of civil activi-
ties should be redressed according to
law. There is no excuse for appeals or
performances outside the law; for when
that course is taken-whether by rich
or poor, black or white, native born or
foreign born-anarchy looms in the
near distance. Steady is the word at
this time Of all times; and the man who
disregards it contributes to danger
greater than the nation has known in
half century.
