Mr.. Harris said that if any persons

some ideas as to handling ewes,
which are very scarce. Of all the

Mr. Harris says that the bucks can,
and that grade ewes can be had. He
does not think it difficult to get star

tigate before taking the step. He will
take pleasure in cooperating with
them through the State Department,
he said.
According to the figures in his Of

BOIL WEEVIL NOT YET
IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY

The Wadesboro Ansonian recently
published rather startling rumor
from some place in Chesterfield
County not far from the North Caro-
lima line. 1t is to the effect that the
Boil Wcevil has been found on cot
ton bolls in this county. So far as
can be ascertained at the county seat
the rumor is not founded on fact. 1t
probably had it's origin in the discov-
cry some weeks ago of a few strange
insects or worms that had injured
few bolls in this county, but which
were not specimens of the boil weevil.
County Demonstration Agent w. J.
FILLER has kept a close watch on de-
vclopments of this character and has
sent number Of suspicious speci-
mems to Clemson College for exami-
nation and classification. None have
proved to be boil weevil and none
have been found of sufficient menace
to cotton to cause alarm. The An
Sonian quotes an Anson County far
mcr as dolefully remarking:
''lf the boil wecvil spreads to this
county, we have seen our best days"
This sad prediction is pretty gen
orally contradicted in the many ex-
cotton states, where the weevil has
come and has done its worst. In one
county in South Georgia where the
pest made cotton growing impossible,
thcrc is talk of erecting a monument
to it, aa an appreciation for what it
has done for that community. And
che ev-cotton growers are the loudcst
in its praise.

NO ROOM FOR ANARCHISTS

Referring to the strikes and unrest
in this country, Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, made these pertinent and patri-
otlc statements in a recent speech in
congress:
"The old Ship of State in this hour
is floating on troublesome seas.
Whitecaps of anarchy are battling its
voyage, but
we know what Master laid thy
keel,
What Workman wrought thy ribs
of steel.
So we fear not the sudden sound
and shock. We know the old Ship
will safely weather the storm
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore
There are misguided men in
America to-day - thousands, and
even millions, of them. They are to
be pitied. They do not know the pur-
poses of America, for they have had
no opportunity to learn. They do
not know that this is in fact the land
of the poor boy; that the men who
have given their lives at the doors o.
opportunity might ever be open to
the children of tomorrow; that the
opportunities for their children are
the best Of any nation of earth
Let the anarchist understand
that his doctrines have no more effect
upon the structure of this govern
ment than the waves tapping the rock
of Gibraltar. But let him know that
If he desires to advance those doc
trines he will have to seek other
shores. America is no place for him.
Let him know that there is but one
flag in this country, the Stars and
Stripes, and that there is no place
for the red flag of anarchy.
ut is no time to be pcssimistc in
all the turmoil through which we are
passing. 1t is time to follow the doc
trine of the beautiful Psalm Of
David:
i will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills from whence cometh my help"
Upon the hills of America shines
the vision of national perpctuity."

METHOD IN THEIR MOVEMENT
Veteran OF the Plains Explained Why
5uffaIoes Invariably Travelled on
Zig-Zag Course.

NO person ever saw herd of buf.
faio move in a. straight line. They al.
ways took a zig-Zag course. The late
"Buftalo" Jones explained this as fol.
lows: "A buffalo is very cautious
animal. His shaggy forehead prevents
MIN seeing objects on either side. To
prevent surprise from an enemy he
walks obliquely, to the right and then
to the left, and thus gets an unob-
structed view of the surrounding coun-
try"
The buffalo had many small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired in swamps or pools as
cattle do. When they found they were
incoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swan or paddled
through the mud as hog does. They
always had guards out day and night,
to warn the herd of approaching dan
ger. They always faced a storm and
never "drffted," as do cattle. Thew
lay down with their heads TO the
hercest storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleeping
contentedly, while the great mass of
fur on their humps protected them
from the winds.
