WEEVIL SWEEPS
SUMTER COUNTY

Sumter, Oct. 12-It looks as
though the much-talked of and
dreaded cotton boil weevil has swept
over more than half of Sumter county
before any one in this county knew
it was here. Late Saturday afternoon
County Agent j. Frank Williams re-
ported that in addition to finding
the cotton weevil on the plantation OF
Mr.. S. ]. White, six miles south OF
Sumter, it had been located on the
plantation of Mr.. Willie Shaw, about
four miles east of Sumter, on the
farm of Mr.. W. r. Wells, north Of
Sumter. and still further north or
slightly northeast on the farm Of Mr.
Andrew Vincent. The three new in
festations are miles away from the
first point found to, be covered with
weevils, south of Sumter. County
Agent Williams and Prof. Bundy, the
Clemson college weevil expert, are
confident that if frost is postponed
the weevil will do much damage
Unconfirmed reports of the weevil in
the extreme western and northwest
ern sections of this county will be in
Ivestigated tomorrow or next day, il
is said. Coming in from the south
by way of Clarendon county and
sweeping with unusual rapidity to
different parts of the county, con-
firms the opinions of the expert in
ivestigators that all of the territory
in between the extreme points of the
compass and in different sections OF
the county must surely be infested
1t is said that much damage has been
done to the cotton already. If this be
SO, then where does the theory come
in that the weevil does little damage
to cotton the first year, when CON-
ing into this county at the end of
the cotton growing season it has al
ready done lot of damage. Getting
an early start in 1920, after winter
ing in this county, what will it do to
cotton next year?

A HEART-TO- HEART TALK.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
By your generous courtesy 1 wish
to have heart-to-heart talk with
my Methodist brethren and sisters Of
the laity among you~ readers
The education of my children ap-
peals strongly to me. l fully share
the worthy sentiment of the Rev. Jas.
T. Kilgo, of blessed memory. who
proclaimed the fact that he could not
willingly throw his children upon So
ciety uneducated, and sooner would
eat corn bread and wear patched
clothing the rest of his life.
AS superannuate member of the
South Carolina Conference, with eight
attractive children (they get their
good looks from their mother) rang
ing from four to 20 years, the old
est three of whom are daughters. l
much desire a residence where there
is college for women.
If only some large-hearted man or
woman, or group of such, might de-
nate the use Of a house for several
years, or lease it at low rental, we
would be grateful indeed for such
Iconsidente kindness.
To make sure of securing one,
however, hereby request that
friends reading this, who can do so
without diminishing their offerings
elsewhere, shall write me quite soon
letter or postal saying, Brother
Belts, you may each year call on me
for s. toward paying the rent of
home in any college town, till
give you notice to the contrary" A
dollar or more promised in this way
to aid us will be appreciated. The
discipline allows us to reside any
where.

INCONSISTENCY OF SENATORS

There is apparently a strong dis position on the part of many members Gf the United States senate to insist upon the continuance of the tradi- government in refraining from Zen tangling alliances" and from inter meddling" in the affairs of European countries. When this attitude is as- sumed from patriotic motives alone there is no fault to find with it, be- caue it is the privilege of any man to entertain honest opinions on this sub- ject, as on any other. But this does not, unhappily, appear to be the case.
 The senate committee on foreign relations has announced a certain pro- gram for this week, and among the matters to be considered is the Irish question:" The United States has no Irish problem. The citizens of Irish birth and extraction have amalgamat- ed themselves with the institutions and government of this country as thoroughly as have those of any other nationality, and their status is the same as that of any other nationality. The Irish problem" that is to be considered is one pertaining to the relations existing between a portion of the people of Ireland and the gov ernment of Great Britain and Ireland. As stated rather peevishly but none the less truly by Sir Edward Carson, this ''problem" is none of our affair
 The condition of any oppressed peo- pie always has been matter for deep concern to the people of the United States, with their innate love of free intitutions of government and person al liberty. But even the most ardent advocate of Irelands cause must ad- init that the present government of that country is not only not oppres- sive, but that it is in many respects more liberal than that of the adjacent kingdoms of which it is an integral part
 The problem" of Great Britain in Ireland is not a matter of good or bad government, although it may have grown out of such conditions in the past. It is a matter of race antagOn- ism. No matter how good and liberal a, government is provided for that country, it will be unsatisfactory so long as it's mandates are issued from Westminster instead of Dublin.
 The attitude of the United States senators who desire this country to refrain from "intermeddIing' in the affairs of Europe, while at the same time solemnly considering action rel ative to the internal affair of the British empire, is inconsistent, to say the least.

MIR. EDES' RESERVATION
Anchorage Times)

The news of the resignation of Will liam c. Edes as chairman of the Alaskan engineering commission was received by the people of Anchorage with regret and a feeling of deep personal loss. The fact that he will remain with the commission as con- sulting engineer has, however, con- tributed largely toward reassuring his many friends, who feared that his services might be lost to Alaska.
 Since his appointment as chairman of the commission in 1913, MT. Edes has devoted his time and abilities exclusively to the building of the Alaska railroad. It was largely through his untiring efforts and con stant watchfulness that this project has moved along so smoothly and ef- ficiently. With large experience at his command, gained from a lifetime spent in the construction of rail- roads, he solved easily problems which would have appeared insur- mountable to men with less expert ence.
 The administrative worries of the work, however, proved too heavy for
The Cordova daily times., 1919-08-27

the physical strength of MT .Edes, and in order to preserve his health it became necessary for him to ten der his resignation. The Times joins with the people of Anchorage in expressing the hope that relief from the heavy burdens which he has been carrying and a much-needed rest soon will restore to him the vigorous health sacrificed in his work for Alaska.

SAYS WICK IS IN ERROR
Fairbanks Citizen)

MT. Wickersham asks that a large number of soldier votes be thrown out as having voted for Mr. Sulzer. He takes no consideration of those soldiers who may have voted for him, proceeding, perhaps, on the theory that if any soldier voted for him he was entitled to vote. At Louden, which he includes in the list of precincts wherein soldiers voted, the returns show that Wickersham received nine votes and his opponent not one. Yet it is specifically men toned as being one of the places giving a soldier vote to MT. Sulzer. At Eagle he says soldiers voted while within a few days the writer has been informed by one of the election of ficials of the Eagle precinct, himself a Wickersham supporter, that no sol dier voted there in the 1918 election. Richardson is also included, and the operator at that place is not even an American citizen and could not and did not vote.
 Among others included in the list are places where men who voted are married, have families and taxable property, have been discharged and re-enlisted in Alaska, others who long ago passed their term of enlist ment and are being held under the emergency clause in the military ser vice, and all of whom possess the necessary voting qualifications MT. Wickersham either has been poorly informed or else bases his beliefs upon his political prejudices.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-08-27

There is little doubt that the Bol- sheviki and kindred cults are waging an aggressive campaign in this coun- try at the present time. But it may be that there is a disposition to give the devil more than his due in attrib- uting every piece of mischief to that element. It may be that the race riots in Chicago and Washington were due to Bolshevik propaganda. But it is more than likely that it will be found that racial discrimination was at the bottom of the disorders.

And now they are claiming in Seat tie that 10 cents is too much to pay for a cup of coffee. Possibly the very men who are shocked at this extortion were in the habit, in "the good old days" of paying without murmur 15 cents for a "schnit" of beer or a pony of bourbon.

they had not given the thought they did to
filling their cribs and smOkehouses.
But what of 1919? The demand for food
neceSsaries certainly will be no less Many
seasons, perhaps many years, will be required
to restore the worlds production to normal
and meet augmented needs. We know that
for the current twelvOmonth we are pledged
to let Europe have twenty million tons of
food, which is considerably more than we
shipped her last year. We know, too, that in
many parts of the war-seared region the very
sources of food production must be rebuff
before the peoples concerned can do without
large American exports. That we shall con-
tinue helping to feed them as long as our own
supplies allow, goes without saying, because
not to do so would be to fal in a truly sacred
duty! and also to risk world deluge of Boil
shevism.
In these circumstances it behOoves States
like Georgia to look more literally than ever
before to their food harvests. Regardless Of
what turn the uncertain fortunes of cotton
may take-whether toward prices much
higher or rouch lower than those of the I'M
satisfactory present-the South will not b"
safe unless she raises bOuntiful stores Of
grain, meat and kindred staples Making
the most of her opportunities in that direc-
ton, she will be assured Of prosperity.

The C0mmuntty Truck Plan.

The farmers of the South are gradually
waking up to the possibilities offered by the
motor truck as facility to be utilized in the
marketing Of agricultural products. strik-
ing example of this fact brought to light
day or two ago, when five farmers from a
middle Georgia county came to Atlanta and
after days investigation up and down "au-
tomobile row." purchased a standard truck as
a sort Of community proposition. None Of
the five farmers operates a farm large enough
to warrant the purchase of a motor truck to
market his butter, eggs, meat, poultry and
other products of like character. But the
five of them together have sufficient business
of this kind to make a motor truck a neces-
sity in the efficient conduct of their opera
TONS
So they hit upon the plan of jointly pur-
chasing a truck which will be at the disposal
of each member of the quintet 1t will call
at each farmers place every morning, take on
whatever quantity of products he may desire
to market and rumble away to tlfe nearest
city, which, in this case, happens to be At
lanta. Thus each man bears his proportion
ate share of the expense and assures him
self of transportation for his products at q
cost that is decidedly less than the value of
the service rendered.
The result of the scheme will be watched
with interest by the farmers residing in the
vicinity of the five motor truck experiment
ors, for development of their plan was dis
cussed with considerable enthusiasm in their
community. If the proposition works out
satisfactorily there are indications that their
example will be followed by other farmers
throughout the state, to whom the idea will
offer happy solution of one of the most diff
f1cult problems of agricultural operations.
AutOmotive equipment for the farm is. no
longer an experiment in many respects, so
that the community truck plan contains
many proven elements of success.
