BOIL WEEYIL PROSPECTS
FOR THE COMING YEAR

Much Damage may be Expected In the
Lower Part OF State. Forecast Can.
not be Made with any Degree OF De.
pendcnce.
continually asked to forecast weevil
damage for this state in 1920. This
cannot be done by any one with any
great degree Of dependence owing to
the fact that the weevil damage is
directly dependable on winter mini
mum temperatures or summer rain
fall or both, says Prof. a. F.. Conradi,
State Entomologist. Furthermore in
invading South Carolina the pest ap-
pears under climatic conditions which
present new features and it will be
necessary to see the pest in action
for at last ono year in this state for
us to be sure OF our bearings.
II Is u general rule in the history
of wceyil damage that little injury
occurs during the first year after the
wcevils appearance the previous fall.
The first "ear after its appearance Is
called the first year OF its establish
mcnt. Serious damage may be expect
cd under favorable conditions cSpcc-
tally on low grade lands during its
second year Of establishment, and II
the pest receives no backsct 1t may be
expected TO develop full strength the
third year Of its establishment
The boil Nccvil enters it's third year
OF establishment in Beaufort as far
north as few miles above iardcevillc
in 1920. 1t enters its second year Of
establishment in the Counties OF
Hampton. Jasper. Collcton. Dorchester,
Orangeburg. Bambcrg. Aiken, Barn
well and Allcndalc in 1920. In tho
other counties Of this state the wccvil
made its first appearance during the
past summer and fall.
If we should have low temperatures
this winter, and if the growing sea-
son Of 1920 is dry then no very scri-
GUS damage is expected in any OF the
counties. IF. on the other hand, we
should have a wet season serious
damage may be expected in all of
the counties above enumerated and
occurring approximately below line
drawn from point on tho Savannah
River, few miles below Augusta TO
Mt. Pleasant on the coast
If the winter is mild followed BY
a wet season in 1920, severe damage
may be expected also in low lands Of
Berkeley, Williamsburg. Georgetown
and Horny Counties. Furthermore.
damage may occur in spots on low
lands as far north as tho latitude OF
Columbia. In the Coastal Counties
lying below line from the southern
part Of Aiken County 10 Conway in
Horny County. cotton production is
rapidly becoming gamble and as al
ready stated. serious damage will Oc-
cur in 1920 if the season is wet; and
il IS OF the greatest Importance that
the farms Of that section Of the state
become Sclf-supporting and scli-sus
tanning Immediately.

ATTEMPT TO KILL
IRISH RULER FAILS

Yiscount French Assailed on Lonely
Road. Bombs and Revolvers Used
by Attackers.
| Dublin, Dec. ia determined but
unsucc essfal attempt was made today
to assassinate Viscount French, lord
lieutenant OF Ireland.
The attack evidently had been most
carefully organized as a spot In a
narrow winding road with high walls
and hedges. affordidng the assassins
good hiding places. One OF the at
tackins party was killed and detec-
tive sitting with the chauffeur In tho
yiceregal car, was slightly wounded in
the hand, Some distance away, a po-
liccman. patrolling his beat, was shot
in the ankle.
Both bombs and revolvers were used
by the assailants the number Of whom
is variously estimated at from s TO l5
The smaltlcr number, however, is con-
sidcrcd more probable. The viceregal
parry fired on the assassins as they
fied across the fields, but all escaped
except one man killed. who was shot
through the head
Viscount French had been visiting
Boyle and Roscommon and returned
today by train at l o'clock. He alight-
cd 1T the suburban station at Phoc-
nix Park. near the spot where. in 1882
E>rnToriNt tch oh h;nr
rotary for Ireland, and Thomas II
Burke, his ndersecretary. were assas-
snatcd. The station Is about Il milo
from the vicercSal lodge
The ambuScadc had been carefully
planned. thu assassins placing OBJ
structionS il the narrow part Of the
road. hoping to compel the motor cars
in which the vicercgal party was trav-
cling to stop. Behind the hedges and
walls, III favorable positions they had
stationed themselves for firing upon
the lord lieutenant and his party.
When the automobiles approached
rerolvcrs we're fired and bombs were
thrown. The asSassins evidently cX-
pcctcd Fiscount French would be in
the second ear in the line. and at It
most OF thn shots were aimed. He.
however, was in the first car, into
which only Il few bullets penetrated. A
shot. however. directed at the first
car. struck the detective who was sit
ting beside ihc driver. in the hand.
Almost Immediately the viceregal
party open ID fire on the ambuscadcd
men who took flight on bicycles
across the field. during this shoot
ing one Of the men. later identified
az having Hrcd directly at Viscount
Frcnch's car, was seen to throw up
his hands and fall. Several OF his
| friends stopped and lifted the body.
intending to carry it away, but they
abandoned Il when they found the man
was dead.

Downtown Car Terminal

Superintendent Murphne's proposal to establish down
town car terminal which WILL at and the same time,
promote better service and eliminate transfer troubles saw
ing the municipality nearly 100000 year from that
source alone is worthy of early consideration.
II is quite conceivable that Mr. Murphne points out
such terminal will pay for itself by rentals from conces-
sons and advertising space The site chosen the block be
tween Bell and Blanchard streets bounded by Second and
Third avenues couple of minutes walk from the heavily
congested Pkestreet district and yet is sufficiently far
away to bring the cost within comparatively modest
figure.
The advantages to the citizens generally will be manifold
With the oneway systems Second and Third avenues
running south street and north on the other
much the congestion will be relieved Delays due to the
of transfers and to the points OF trans
fer will be thing of the past Aurphnes plan all
that routed downtown will come to this depot Pas
sengers who come into the depot will need transfers
They will simply board whatever car they want Their
presence within the depot will that they entitled
to ride any
Both the printing of transfers and cheating" will be
eliminated Various other improvements could be worked
ou-and service which is the main point with the general
public will without question be much improved
The terminal be established at once-and serve
useful purpose while awaiting the completion of the subway
and elevated neswhich also must come II we are to IN
