THE MOSQUITO
HSDEADLY
Disease Carrying Insects Everywhere
Danger

MOSQUITOES have always been with
us but their true character has only
been recognized a short time. they
are carriers of Malaria germs and
other deadly diseases. DIR. Carroll, a
government investigator in Cuba says,
Natural yellow fever is transmitted
by the mosquito and always and only
by the mosquito"
The mosquito bite is often as deadly
as a rattlesnakes.
BY every method known to mankind
both the national and local health
services are trying to exterminate the
MOSQUITO. But this will never be.
We must protect ourselves against
this pest, by proper screening and
the use of TORMENT. TORMENT is
a gaseous vapor in which no mosquito
or fly can live. 1t is death to insects
Torment is sold by druggists, gen,
eral stores and dealers everywhere
There price is 25c bottle; do not pay
more.

GET OUT THE COTTON STALKS

The farmers of this section have
no better opportunity to enter
strong fight against the weevil,
next year than that facing then now
The cotton crop is so light that the
picking, is not a serious problem. 1t
can be gathered in ample time to
have the stalks destroyed and the
weevils run out long before they go
to winter quarters.
If you want to tackle cotton next
year, kill the stalks now. cut them
down and pillow them under,-be sure
they are cut down if they are not
covered up. This will remove weeVil
food from your farm and the weevil
will not be there when the times
comes to so inwinter quarters
Don't wait till frost or cold nights
That will be two late.
If you have your doubts as to
what your neighbor is going to do
destroy your stalks and send youI
weevils over to see him. Then
watch him get after his stalks. He
cannot afford TO winter his weeyils
and yours, 100. We will not do it il
he can help it. Go after the cotton
stalks now and your neighbor will be
after his when he has time to think
of the disaster which may overtake

A MESSAGE TO THE NEGRO

We have but one massage we would
deliver to our negro educators and
preachers who may be interested in
negro welfare in these critical times
Stop the inflow Of propaganda from
northern negroes and whites. Stop ii
now. Pledge every negro resident in
every corner of the country not "a
permit an occurrence like that in
Arkansas This calamity is charged
to tn spread of roseate promises
among the negro population if they
would organize and arm.
That kind of incendiary material
means destruction for every black
man. lie cannot destroy the white
race and when he arms and starts out
he is walking straight into the jaws
Of death He is carrying with him
every friend and sympathiZer. \
wrong move anywhere now means
death. For the negro this is the crit
zeal time in all his history.
Whole races Of men are craZed
from war Death and destruction be

to human butchery. They care less
Tor the destruction or the negro tndl
ever they did. Murder, burning and
race determination will be melted out

the cotton stalks. Our cotton crop is
more nearly gathered than it has
ever been at this time of the season.
A little hard push will help to get to
where all the stalks can be destroyed.
Get out the remaining cotton and kill
the stalks.
Nothing will so help to get great
start on the weevils next year.

LUTHERANs PLAN
FOR BIG CAMPAIGN
Money to be Raised for Educational
Purposes,

The State.
At joint meeting of the boards
of Summerland and Newberry col
leges at the Lutheran Publication
Building yesterday, it was unani-
mously agreed to launch a campaign
in the State to collect S150,000 for
educational purposes only. The sep
arate boards Of the two colleges had
decided before that such a step was
needed, but yesterday they definitely
agreed to recommend this step to the
South Carolina Lutheran Synod. The
synod will be convened about August
1 and the campaign will probably be
launched around November l. The
plans for this campaign will be per-
fected at another joint meeting in
Newberry on July 9.
| AS there are only 10000 communi-
cant members of the Lutheran Synod
in South Carolina and $4,000" is to
be raised, the per capita ass. -.nent
lis to be rather large, being about $12
for each member. However, the
meeting was a very enthusiastic one,
and the boards feel highly confident
that they will come out even above
the required amount.
The purpose Of the fund is for the
endowment and equipment Of New
berry and Summerland colleges, and
lis the largest educational proposition
that the South Carolina Lutherans
have ever undertaken. Other church
es are also making campaigns at this
time, but the peculiarity Of this drive
is that it is entirely educational. DR..
George B. Cromer, chairman of the
Newberry committee, presided over
the meeting. The Rev. Henry A.
Mccullough of st. Pauls Evangelical
Lutheran church was representa-
tive of both Newberry and Summer
laud.
