themselves in an alarming way as
they do now. Generally on the first
appearance of the weevil in a section
people become alarmed, and then af-
ter a year or two they pay very lit
tie attention to it, but this year the
cotton acreage is increased and the
weevil is worse in most fields than it
has ever been before at this date. I
have heard some reports of farmers
plowing up cotton, but doubt the
wisdom of it, because l have seen
cases where men plowed up their cot
ton, and afterwards it turned off dry
and pretty good yields were made.
{ 'In all probability the weevil will
do some considerable damage in the
lower part of South Carolina, where
it first entered. Should the rainy
weather keep up for two or three
weeks, and the weevil would be
found very numerous like it was in
1915, there will be a wide advance
up into the State, and especially if
there should be a heavy wind blowing
in northerly direction during late
summer or fall However, if we
should have a hot continued dry spell
very little damage should be expect
ed. The July rains will tell the tale" :"

TELEPHONE COMPANY
DECLINES REQUEST
Principal Item Involves Recognition
of Union Acceptable to Ameri-

Atlanta, June 27.-After a series
of conferences the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company
late today notified a committee of it's
striking employees that requests they
made looking to adjustment Of diff
ferences could not be granted. The
employees principal requests were
for recognition of union acceptable
to the American Federation of La
Dor, reinstatement of employees al
legged to have been discharged for
union affiliation, reinstatement of all
strikers in a body and discussion of
wages and working conditions.
J. Epps Brown, president of the
company, said the decision here did
mot apply elsewhere, but that sepa-
rate cases would be considered as
they came up. He said no employees
were discharged for unionism but for

doubtedly would be to cause autnc i
ties of Holland to renew precaut:t IS
to prevent the escape of former i
peror.
Because of the bitterness ma :
tested by the extreme Socialist G.
ment against the former royal FAM y
officials here were somewhat puzzled
by the action of the former crown
prince. They assume, however, that
he either must have had some en-
couragement from his friends in
Germany to believe that whatever
government survived the present
crisis would refuse to surrender him
to the associated powers for trial un-
der the terms of the. peace treaty
should his name be on the prescribed
list, or that a coup d. etat was IN
contemplation involving the conserv-
ative elements and officers of the
army who have strongly opposed
signing of the peace treaty.

BOIL WEEVILS ARE
DOING MUCH HARM.
Fuller: Finds Cotton Acreage In
creased in Some States.

Luther D. Fuller, agricultural field
agent of the Southern Railway, is
sues the following statemnt, in regard
to the boil weevil in the cotton
fields:
..The mild winter and frequent
showers of late spring and early sum-
mer have caused considerable activ-
ity Of the boil weevil in the infested
section. I have just returned from
a trip through Alabama and Georgia,
in a section that I have been engaged
in with the boil weevil fight since it
first entered, and in which / am ae-
uuainted and familiar. I visited 8
number of farms and fields which ]
have watched since Sweevil first
entered, and te1ked with number. of
farmers and agricultural extension
men who know conditions over Mis-
sissippi, Alabama and Georgia.
ssIn sections visited I found an in
crease of cotton acreage over last
year, and men who are in position
to know told me that this was gen
orally true over that section and es-
pecially so in South Alabama, South
Mississippi, South Georgia and the
Mississippi delta. However, the wee
wills at this time are worse in most of
the fields than they have ever been
before on this date. In some fields l
found many squares punctured, and
some men reported Is per cent. OF
the squares punctured in certain
fields. This condition is unusual, and
there is considerable anxiety in re-
gard to the boil weevil, which has
not existed to such an extent since
it first entered and caused so much
alarm.
s'In some of these sections even if
the cotton crop is failure, very few
men will be entirely ruined, because
they have learned from experience
that it is not safe to depend entirely
on the cotton crop as source Of in
come. Everybody is hoping that the
weather will be hot and dry, and
that the cloudy, rainy days will soon
disappear. fsthe cloudy, misty
weather which is prevailing in most
of these sections continues the pros
poets will be very poor for a good
yield of cotton.
"Some farmers are using calcium
arsenate powder to dust the cotton
plant, which has been used by the
government in an experimental way,
but these men are generally using it
as an experiment. The method Of
fight generally used is to pick up and
burn the squares, and to give the
cotton rapid cultivation with a sack
tiled on the singletree to brush wee
wills and infested squares on the
ground in front of the plow Many
have adopted the system of working
cotton until dinner time, and then
doing other work, because the wee
wills are more active in the forenoon.
II have been engaged in the boil
weevil fight since It first entered
Louisiana and | have followed i
closely throughout The South, but i
have never heard farmers express

New York, June 26.-The escape
of former Crown Prince Frederick
William of Germany from Weirin-
gen was an action to be expected, ac-
cording to James w. Gerard, former
ly United States ambassador to Ger
many. Mr.. Gerard said that persons
familiar with German kultur and
Prussianism had looked for some
such move by one Of the Hohenzoll-
erns.
Serious complications are possible
Mr.. Gerard pointed out, as result
of the ex-crown princes return to
his country. Any movement, how
ever, to restore the family of the
former German emperor to power
would inevitably fail in the end, he
believed.
81 have always considered the pos
sibility of a plot to restore the Ho-
henzollern dynasty from the moment
the ex-kaiser and his son entered
Holland" Mr.. Gerard said. "It is
doubtful whether the ex-crown
prince would dare lead forlorn
hope back into Germany without ex-
pectation of strong support from
the old Prussian military caste. He
could count almost to certainty up
on that support"
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-07-01

Two days before the armistice was
signed, decree issued by the Ger
man imperial chancellor, Prince Max
of Baden, announcing a decision OF
the former German emperor to alb
dicate, stated:
ssThe imperial chancellor will re-
hain in office until the questions
connected with the abdication of the
kaiser, the renouncing by the crown
prince of the throne of the German
empire and Of Prussia and the set
Ting up Of the regency have been set
He'd"
This generally was accepted by the
public as an official announcement
of the crown princes intention to re-
ance his rights to the succession.
1ater, however, the crown prince
lied any such intention in an inter
given to the Associated Press
\udent at Osterland, Holland,
3, 1918. At that time the
brihre said;
have not renounced anything
and have not signed any documents
whateaer.
However" he continued, SHOULD
the German government decide to.
form d republic similar to the United
Statea OF France, should be per-
fectly content to return to Germany
as 81 simple citizen ready to do any
thing to assist my country. / should
eYensbe happy to work as a@laborer
ii q factory.
! present everything appears
chaotic an Germany, but I hope
things viii right themselves.
notwithstanding this categorical
statement, the semi official Wolff bu--
reausof Berlin three days later issued
what said to be the exact text OF
the crown princes remuneration OF
his rights to the throne. This docu-
ment read:
81 renounce formally and definite
" all rights to the crown Of Prussia
and the Imperial crown which would
have fallen to me by the rnunciation
of the .emperor-king or for other rea-
sons.

The ex-crown prince has given nu-
merous interviews to various CORE
spondents since his arrival in Holland
and has in some instances complain
ed of having been misquoted. AS re-
CARDS the Associated Press interview

Washington, June 26.-Confdenti-
al reports that the former German
crown prince and also probably tha
former emperor would attempt to re-
enter Germany after the signing of
the peace treaty were received re-
Gently by government officials here.
This became known today after an
Associated Press dispatch telling of
the escape of the crown prince had
been received.
Washington, June 26.-The form
er German crown prince was intern
ed by the Dutch government on the
Eland CT Wieringen and Of he pre-
serves his status as a soldier, the
opinion of international law authori-
ties here is that the Netherlands gov
ernment may be held accountable by
the associated powers for his escape.
It was explained the rules Of war

ment of any nation that affords asyl-
um to fugitive soldier to intern
him for the period Of the war and
that in this instance that period tech
nically had not elapsed. Officials

SENATOR'S
IMMIGRATION BILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Chang-
es in the nations immigration policy,
especially as it affects Japan and
China and the Far East, were propos-
ed in bill introduced today 6T Sen
ator Dillingham;, republican, of Yer
mont, and referred to the immigra-
tion committee.
Under the measure the number of
aliens of any nationality who might
be admitted to the country annually
would be limited to five per cent of
the number of such nationality al
ready here. The restrictions, how
ever, would not apply to immigrants
who are natives of countries in the
western hemisphere.
The bill also would repeal all spe-
ial laws directly or indirectly rating to
immigration from China, Japan and
other Oriental countries.
Senator Dillingham; said the bill
would not open the door to increased
immigration, owing to the small num-
Der of nationals of those countries
now in the United States.
