Boil Weevil in Meriwether
Section.

Mr.. Albert Lyon came up from
North Augusta yesterday and being
questioned by The Advertisers rep
resentative about the boil weevil in
that section, stated that considerable
damage is being done to cotton on
the farms of Mr.. John P. Mealing,
DR.. ]. T. Reese, Mr.. w. B. Burkhal-
ter, Mr.. Charlie Burkhalter and Mr..
Walter Stevens. 1t is not known how
'or when the weevil came across from
the Georgia side of the river, as no
weevils were seen prior to about
two weeks ago. Friday Mr.. A. B.
iCarwile visited the farm of Mr..
IMealing in response to a telephone
message and he brought a dozen or
more weevils in glass jar that were
taken from the field of Mr. Mealing.
In the opinion of Mr.. .Carwile the
damage to this crop of cotton in the
infested fields will be about ten per
cent

A Sweet Singer.

Among some other things left
out of our account last week of the
w. M. U. meeting at Stevens Creek,
was very important part of the
Sunbeam program. That was the
prayer song, "Jesus, Tender Saviour
Hear me" by little Corrie Johnson.
This is one of the oldest and sweet
est of children's songs and no one
we ever heard, sang it more sweetly
than this dear little girl. 1t is great
song to know too, which the follow
| ing incident will prove.
When Miss Eliza Youngblood who
was the first Sunday School teach
er ever had, was dying, her devoted
sisters, Mrs. Mamie Griffin and Miss
Cottie Youngblood, sat beside her
bed in the darkness of the night,
helpless in the presence of the last
enemy of mankind, but a conquered
enemy since Jesus became ga victor
DER the dark domain"
AS they sat there, one said, "Dar-
ling, what can we do for you?" and
she said, "Is this death?" When they
answered "NVe think so," she said,
"Then Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear
me sing the song mother used to sing
to US. ;" Then they sang, and believe
she tried to sing with them.
"May my sins be all forgiven,
Bless the friends I love so we'll,
Take me when ! die, to heaven,
Happy there with Thee to dwell" +"

A New Model Overland.

Overland cars easily rank among
the best medium priced cars on the
market. Scores of them have been
sold by Mr.. j. D. Holstein,, Jr., to
5Edgefeld people who have tested
them thoroughly on Edgefeld roads.
That they have stood the severe
test is proven by the great demand
for these cars. In short time Mr..
Holstein will offer something en-
tirely new in an Overland car-an
Overland Four-which will be much
lower in price but will possess the
real Overland merit. This car has
been put through severe tests and
has made good. Mr.. WHY'S did this
before putting it on the market be-
cause Overland reputation is at
stake. The gasoline consumption of
the Overland Four is phenominally
low. Read what Mr.. Holstein says in
his attractive advertisement in this
issue.

A Day of Real Joy in the
Country.

te.+f1 1uC Wl1tSI SpSuI Suuudy very
pleasantly in the country as a guest
lin the home of Mr.. and Mrs. P. M.
EMedlock. Mr.. Medlock came down in
This car for US about 9 80 o'clock and
I'VE returned to Edgefeld in his faith
lful Ford about six in the afternoon.
La portion of the road we travelled
from Edgefeld to Mr.. Jack Reels
place; by way of Mr.. D. B Hollings-
|worth's, has the appearance of hav-
ling had no work in several years and
bit should receive the attention from
Ehe supervisor as soon as he COM
pletes the work of replacing the
bridges that were washed away by
The: heavy rains of August. It is i'm
IIperative that these bridges be re-
placed at once, making it possible
for; farmers to market their cotton
and other produce. But as soon as
D Nsahass ssssp0lied this \ pressing de-
mand we trust that the supervisor
will give immediate attention to
roads that have had no work in sew
eral years before placing the road
working force on roads that have
been worked during the past year
or two. People should bear in mind
that his force is limited and should
give him all possible cooperation.
However, the rough rocky road was
made passable. by having a careful
driver at the wheel. We are convinc-
ed, after watching Mr.. Medlock
carefully and cautiously steer his
faithful Ford, that most automobile
owners drive too rapidly over our
rough roads. When driving in bug
Icy, most persons go at slow pace
over the rocks, gullies and bitches,
and then increase the speed after
these rough places have been passed
ovr. Not so, however, with many
automobile owners. If automobiles,
which are one Of the greatest bless
|ings to humanity, making coun-
try life an hundred-fold more attract
i've than formerly, were used with
the same care as horse-drawn We
hicles, their life would be heightened
by many days.
The highest evidence that Mr..
Medlock knows how to prolong the
life of car through good treatment
is found in the fact that he has own
ed his Ford for more than two years
and the wheels still have the tires
that were purchased with the car.
Mr.. Medlock had the opportunity of
selling his car the other day for
more than it cost him. He says "Peo-
pie drive fast and get to town before
l do, but they also get to the garage
for repairs before I do"
It is useless to add that we spent
a very pleasant day in the home of
Mr.. Medlock. Besides enjoying the
princely feast which Mrs. Medlock
prepared, it was refreshing to see
the kindly thoughtfulness and the
perfect accord that exists among the
children and all in the home. We
were pleased to meet and have the
opportunity of conversing with Mrs.
Dukes, the aged mother of Mr.. Ed
Dukes, who lived in Edgefeld some
years ago and made many friends
here. This good lady is also the step
mother of Mrs. Medlock and is up
from Augusta visiting her.
The experience of this Sab
bath day spent amid rural fastness-
es carried US back to our boyhood
days spent on the farm above Meet
ing Street. Those were halcyon days.
We sometimes wonder of boys who
are being reared in the country ap5
preciate the good fortune that has

Dr.E Enstacea Rrescots isft
the Grave of Percy QUITS.

Dear Mrs. QUITS:
l was out at Chatteau-Thierry
and Belleau woods a few days ago,
while there l searched for your son,
Percy's grave. 1 found him resting
among 1856 brave comrades, be-
meath the Stars and Stripes, the flag
he gave his life for rather than see
her unfurled to German cultur.
The cemetery is in a beautiful
spot at the foot of the Hill they so
violently attacked and finally cap
Itured. This feat was the turning
point of the whole war in our favor,
as you no doubt know and saved the
world from autocracy.
The brave marines charged the
Hill across an open field in spite of
the continuous fire of the Germans
and their good positions. This daring
Iattack-the most noted in history
will never be forgotten gy any of
the allied forces.
1 took several kodak pictures of
the grave and will send you one as
soon as 1 have them developed and
return to the States-about Sep
tember 18th.
With best regards to all the FAM
