lotion at about the cost of n usu-

lemon juice so no pulp gets into the
bottle, then this lotion will remain

Any druggist will supply three

is 1T POSSIBLE?

Right now a trip through the boil
weevil section of Georgia is being
agitated and quite a number of our
farmers are interested in it. The
trip will mean much to the agricul-
tural interest of the county. 1t is
common knowledge that the agri-
cultural interests of our country is
not organized as thoroughly or as
effectively as they might be.
Now that the community is more
settled and the tension of the good
roads campaign is over, we hope to
get a number of our farmers to 60
on a tour to see farming conditions
under weevil infestation. After the
trip has been made we hope to call
a general mass melting of the farm
ers and business men of the county
to have the reports of the delegation
going into the weevil district. After
seeing these conditions and hearing
the reports of the delegation we
think it would be wise to suggest an
organization of the county into a
body to foster the interest of Able.
vile county in an agricultural and
business way. Such a body should
include in it's membership the farm
ers and business men of the county
as a whole. Neither has cause to
become jealous or envious of the
other. Unless the rural districts are
prosperous the towns of the county
will not grow and unless the towns
grow market facilities. cannot be

We are in receipt of a premium
list of the A~ntreville Community
Fair, which is to be held at Antreville
on October 10Th. We commend the
people of that community on this
progressive enterprise and wish it
every success. Mrs. E. N. McCarter
is secretary of the organization,
which has as its object to stimulate
community endeavor, thereby Great
ing a community spirit which will be
beneficial financially, educationally,
and spiritually. We should like to
see and encourage the holding of
community fairs in other sections of
the county and offer our services to
any section desiring to get up a fair.
Anyone wishing a copy of the Antre-
vile premium list, address Mrs. E. N.

The figures for Abbeville county
for the year 1916 does not include
the yield for that portion of Able
vile cut off into Mccormick county.
The yield for Mccormick county for
1916 was 11,717 bales. The greater
portion of Mccormick county came
off Abbeville. The above figures
were taken from a bulletin "Cotton
Production in the United States,
Crop of 1916" They speak more
eloquently than anything we could
say as to the results of cotton pro-
duction under weevil invasion.
We hate to give up cotton. We
have been growing it so long and
our market facilities areestablished
to handle the crop. Cotton is a
source of money and we like to han
die money even though a large per
cent of it goes to the other fellow.
However, there is a bright side to
farming under weevil infestation
and it is to see this bright side of
the picture that the trip to the weevil
district is being agitated. Even
though the weevil may reduce the
cotton yield of u state, it does not
necessarily take away u ability to
produce even greater wealth in other
farm crops.
1t takes rich lands to produce cot
ton under weevil conditions. The
majority of our lands are not rich
We must seed more legumes to aid
in enriching our soils so as to help
reduce our enormous fertilizer bills
and enable US to produce crops
cheaper. This fall should see more
legumes seeded than ever before

and she will.

neither will prosper as they should.
Business men recognize that the fu-
ture of the towns lies in the progress
of the outlying country.
We do not suggest the organiza-
ton Of a chamber of commerce but
we do suggest some form of an i'm
provement association to do the
work of a chamber of commerce on
a broader and more comprehensive
scale. Such an organization would
be worth much to the county's in
terest. 1t should have at its head a
man thoroughly interested in the well
fare and progress of his county in
agricultural and economic affairs.
An organization of this kind could
be run absolutely free and independ-
emit of any politics or political re-
CINE, and could be made to mean
much to the county. 1t would have
for it's immediate work the fostering
of economic and progressive ideas
pertaining to the growth and devel-
opment of the county at large and
with the interest of the whole county
at heart. 1t should foster, because
of its nature, community cooperation
in the introduction of live stock, i'm
proved methods of crop production,
the establishment of community as
sociations for the promotion of boys
and girls club work, assist the farm
ers in economical and intelligent
marketing of farm products through
a centralized channel, and go after
everf enterprise that would be pro-
ftable to the community at large.
An association Of this kind would
do much to bind our people into one,
and establish a community spirit that
would be hard to beat. We confess
that we have not thought very much
along this line, but realizing the
possibilities of such an organization
a power in the community we
would like to see a strong man come
forward and push the organization
of such an enterprise.

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD

TONGUE is COATED
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean Little Liver and Bowels.

Children love this "fruit laxative"
and nothing else ~cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result
is, they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full Of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated,
then give a teaspoonful of "Califor-
mia Syrup of Figs" and in a few
hours all the c~onstipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food passes out
of the system, and you will have a
we'll, playful child again.
Millions of mothers give { Calf
ornia Syrup of Fgis" because it is
perfectly harmless; children love it,
and it never fails to act on the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent
bottle of |California Syrup of Figs
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be,

ABOUT THE BOIL WEEVIL

"a trip through the boil weevil
section, would be worth more to-
wards getting the farmers prepared
for the weevil's invasion than any
thing that could be done. You will
see something that will open your
eyes" This remark was made to
the County Agent by a Georgia trav-
cling man on last Monday. A visit
to the weevil section would do much
to give to the farmers Of our county
an incentive to encourage them to
prepare their farms for the coming
of the boil weevil. We must get our
lands more productive and rearrange
our farming operations to enable us
to live at home and produce cotton
as a money crop. We shall have to
increase our live stock and arrange
for better pastures and begin a more
extensive seeding of winter legumes
to aid in building up our soils and
maintaining our soil fertility. This
is essential under infestation by the
boil weevil.
There are those among us who ar
que that the pest won't damage us.
do not wish to appear in any
sense as alarmist, but we submit the
following figures for counties in
northern Alabama and Georgia, hav-
ing conditions similar to ours, the
weevil having entered in 1915.
