six Southern states, including Missis-

konwn now as "bone dry" The other
states are Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Ar
kansas is already in that condition
and Tennessee becomes totally dry on
the first of March.
1t will be impossible for liquor to
be ordered through the mails and the
law forbids common carriers from
bringing it into dry states and the
courts have ruled that a mans body is
a common carrier SO there seems to be
no chance for those who want drink
to get one without violating the law
in some manner or form. Cook stove
stills probably will become very popu-
lar after the measure becomes a law.

WAR LOANS MUST BE ATTRAC.
TIVE TO INVESTORS.

Washington, Feb. 24--(By Union
Associated Press)-During the past
two years there have been SO many
opportunities for people with money
to make good profits, that the govern
ment is realizing that in case Of war,
loans exceeding half billion dollars,
would have to be made on . basis
more attractive to the investor than
one Of 8 per cent. The United States
could borrow $5OO.ooO,ooO without dif-
ficulty at 8 per cent. or thereabouts,
but that would not 60 very far. Fed
eral bonds, to be q success, would have
to compete with high grade sccuri-
ties yielding much more and as safe
as any reasonable investor could ak.
In short, the high cost Of borrowing

CHICAGO PROVISIONS.
DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Feb. 24-Japan starts
the week by taking $500 bales via
Pacific coast. The Liverpool stock
of American is now $4,000 bales
smaller than last year and further
shrinkage is likely Weather condi-
tions continue bullish. A leading trade
review say that partial relief from
traffic congestion has bettered the
position of business and that buying
power holds up remarkably well under
adverse condition.
Depressions in cotton on political
news will not likely be as large as
they have been, and frequent rallies
are likely from an over-sold or neg
lected position, which outlook makes
the policy of buying on political
breaks advisable. There was nothing
decisively new in politics over night.

Nearly two thirds of the number
necessary to muster in the Battery
Of Artillery here have been enlisted
and others are still continuing to
sign. Practically eighty men have
signed up. The remainder will be
secured within few days, if the
present ratio is continued.
All of the above number have been
secured in Greenwood alone, except
ing few who have come in from out
of-town and joined of their own ac-
cord. Every effort is being exerted
to raise the Battery in Greenwood to
enable the organization to assemble
easier for drill. Should the entire
Battery not be raised in this city ef-
forts will be exerted in nearby towns
to secure the number lacking.
Captain A. C. Metts and Mr.. Harry
Hulen, who have been instrumental in
organization of the Battery are we'll

BOIL WEEYM
IS DISCUSSED
Business Men and Planters Hear DR..
q. H. Holyfeld Discuss His Theory
of Life of Insect.

A very interested gathering Of
business men of the city and planters
Of the city and county were present
]. this morning at the Business League
to hear DR.. H. H. Holyfield, of Simp-
son County, discuss his theory Of the
Life Of the boil weevil and his plan to
exterminate the insect. The speaker
raised the question as to whether
the weevil hybernates or terminates.
He says that he terminates in the
seed
DR.. Holyfeld after stating some
facts that have been proven by the
government experts took those facts
to prove his assertions. In the first
place the Doctor stressed the fact
that the average life of a weevil when
he has sufficient food and water is As
days and without food and water only
nine days. He then showed through
. diagram on the blackboard that the
reason the bottom crop of cotton is
gotten by the farmer is that the boil
weevil ends his cycle of life just as it
begins to fruit and the crop made be-
fore eggs laid by the weevil have
hatched. The second batch of weevils
tackle the middle crop, which gener-
ally proves a loss to the farmer and
IN the forty five days passes out and
IN those sections further south a top
crop is made and developed without
the weevil.
Forty two per cent. of the infesta-
slon comes from the small bolls left
hanging on the stalks and knocked
DOWN to be plowed under the next
spring, to hatch the egg therein and
'mest !, the new crop. He contends
'nat to destroy the stalks and rem
aants OF last years crop left in the
aeld and to select the seed for plant
ns the new crop will do more good
'oWard eliminating the weevil than
'nything else.
Inc Doctor proposes to screen an
'sfe OF ground this spring and to
pant y one half Of it his way and the
'.ner half Of it with seed not select
y ana he promises that on his half
