JASPER INVADED BY
BOIL WEEEIL.
Sixty Per Cent. of Cotton Reported
Infested and Farmers Begin
Fight.

Ridgeland-Jasper County is fac
ing one of the most serious prob
lens ever presented in this section
the boil weevil. Within the last
few days some of the largest farmers
in the county have estimated that at
least go per cent of the cotton plant
ed is at this time infested with the
weevil. In soIne instances fields
with cotton about two feet high is
being consumed, the owners stating
that they are unable to find any
squares that have not been punctur-
ed. Some of the farmers are even
plowing up their cotton and putting
in corn and peas, with the hopes of
making at least crop of hay on
what had always been their best cot
ton land. Other farmers are prepar-
ing to fight the weevil and are max
ing preparations to put a poison So
luton on the cotton stalk under the
direction of. the county farm agent.
While most of the farmers expect
ed that the boil weevil would put in
its appearance in large numbers this
year, none expected that much dam
age would be done until the last of
July or the first of August and there
fore planted their crop earlier than
usual hoping to make the crop be-
fore the weevil got started in it's
work of destruction. It is thought
that, the excessive humidity has
caused the weevils to start sooner
than usual as for the past two weeks
it has rained almost every day. I'm
der the present outlook, it appears
that the cotton crop, which is prac-
tically the only money crop planted
in Jasper County, will be curtailed
between 60 and rs per cent.

NORTH STAR LED CAPT. ALCoCK

London, June 20-"The good old
north star showed our wayn ''u
Ihls tribute from the lips of Arthur
w. Brown, Captain Alcock's Ameri-
.an navigator, at luncheon given
luis luis afternoon by the Daily Mail in
nonor of the winners of the trans
atlantic flight contest, reviyified the
lurking spirit of Columbus TO which
previous speakers had alluded and u
iilade Brown kin with the old Genoap.
inasmuch as the two aerial explorers
lost IN the clouds 1000 feet aloft
were guided by the same star that
pointed the way to America APT wears
ago. '''
Whatever may be the epic news
from Germany this afternoon no au-
olence anywhere listened to a more
dramatic story than was this first true
and complete account, rendered be-
lore 5000 person in true Yankee ac-
cent by the slender, black-haired
STRIPPING i'm the blue uniform of the
Royal Air force.
1t was all the more dramatic be-
cause previously Captain Alcock had
talked for 20 minutes and told abso-
lutely nothing that had not been al
ready printed. His mind was concen-
trated on the engines, but Browns
roamed the heavens, and through him
the luncheoners followed breathless-
ly one lone mans cropping for the
true course in the midst of battling
mists and steet.
About l a. m. the Vickers-Vimy
plane was totally lost at a height of
5000 feet, not knowing the drift and
not knowing the course. Said Brown:
my instruments did not record
correctly. Then, for a precious haK
hour, the cloud-floor overhead parted,
and / saw the good old north star,
and the Vega, just as Columbus must
have yearned toward the same stars,
and l corrected our course"
The listeners were again stirred
when Brown told how, as dawn was
due, he told Alcock to climb to H.
600 feet, so as to give sunsight, and
how painfully the plane labored
through the white desert. Then brief
sight of the sun gave the "directional
line' and Brown ordered the machine
to low levels. This boys words COM
pressed, as Ambassador Davis put it,
Columbus many weeks of peril inuD
16 hours.

THE BETHEA CASE
UP THIS WEEK.
Former Lit. Gov. of S. c. Sues Column
bia Record for 100000.

Columbia, June 24-The case of
Andrew J. Bethea, formerly lieuten-
ant governor of South Carolina,
against The Record, the local after
noon newspaper, for alleged malici-
Gus libel, is scheduled to commerce
in the Richland County court here to-
morrow. Mr.. Bethea is asking for
100000 damages.
The suit grew out of a series of
articles printed in The Record during
the first of the year which alleged
that Mr.. Bethea had no authority to
wear majors uniform which he
had donned at the time he received
his commission as major in the chemi-
cal section, ordinance department re-
serve corps, United States army. 1t
was charged that as Mr.. Bethea was
in an inactive status in the army, the
regulations prohibited him wearing
it, and by so doing he was acting IL
legally. The series of articles like
wise alleged that Mr.. Bethea was or
dered 10 Camp Jackson, and there
made TO "disrobe.''
Mr.. Eethea denied all the allega-
tons in The Records articles and
countered by claiming that he was al
lowed to wear the uniform under the
regulations.
