FARMERS SHOULD WATCH
COTTON FIELDS CLOSELY

All cotton growers should examine
their cotton fields closely once every
week from now until frost. The boil
wccvil is making his annual flight at
this season of the year and it is very
important that every cotton grower
know whether there are any wccvils
IN his cotton this year in order to put
up good fight against them next
year. TO date wccvilS have been dis
covered three miles northwest of
Manning and as there is every reason
to suppose that there are wecvils
scattered over the southern two-thirds
of the county, the growers at Mann
ing, Silver. Rimini and all points
south of that line should be on the
lookout for boil wccvils.
One of the best methods of fight
ing the wcevil is by plowing under or
burning all cotton stalks as soon as
the cotton is all picked. This must
be done before frost for at the first
frost the adult wcevils hunt and 90
into their hbcrnating quarters for the
winter. Many of them hibernate in
the same field but many go INTO woods
or to other cotton fields. Therefore if
boil wccvils are found in your cotton
fields this fall, rush your cotton pick
ing to completion and then plOw un-
der the stalks four to six inches deep.
If the blowing is done shallow and the
ground not narrowed after blowing
adult wcevils which have gone under
with the stalks will have chance of
escaping through the light covering Of
soil.
That the boil wccvil is moving fast
this. year the people of Charleston
county can testify The boil wecvil
entered Charleston county in May and
June, but is now established there by
the millions. a large number of the
cotton fields are so infested that the
stalks have no fruit on them at all,

canlsm" were made here tonight by
United States Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO, and Representative j. w. Oliver.
of Mississippi, in addresses before the
opening meeting of the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans.
The present radical movement" !"
which is sweeping through the coun-
try, said Senator Thomas in the course
of his remarks, is directed at the great
middle class of America, which is the
arch and covenant of liberty" Amer
lea is facing crisis, he added, and
now is the time for display of 'Ameri-
canism-our country and its institu-
tions against all foreign aggressions.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Senator Thomas said, would not fail
in the test and their example would
be followed by the North and West
in showing "Americanism, the leaven
of the world.
A resolution of sympathy for Presi-
dent Wilson in his illness was adopt
ed.
The sons meeting tonight was also
marked by the appearance Of the Con
federate Choir Of Norfolk, Va,
group of dozen young women in
Confederate jackets and campaign
hats who sang Southern wartime
songs and caused the veterans and
delegates of auxiliary organizations
present to burst forth in the rebel
yell' time and again

but on the ground you can find hund-
reds of squares which had been pune
turcd by the wccvil, and now that
the supply of young squares is cX-
haustcd the wcevils have taken to big
bollS many Of which when examined
showed one and two sections ruined
b. the worm that matches from the
egg of the weevil and later turns into
weevil. You can figure up for your
self what the loss to growers will be
under such conditions. Charleston
county is not very fac from Clarcn-
don County and the losS which the
growers of that county sustained this
year Is very likely TO be duplicated in
Clarendon county next ear You will
notice ! did not say it WOULD hap
pen in this county next year but was
VERY LIKELY to happen. Whether
IT will or will not happen is in very
large part M to the farmers of This
county, and the loss increased by neg
lcct of cotton fields this fall or dim
mlShcd by the Joint and cooperative
action Of every cotton farmer in this
county as described above. Every
wecvil DESTROYED tniS fall means at
least two million less next wear. If
YOU think Providence has sent the
boil wcevil here to feed on your cot
ton and that it is not up TO YOU TO yct
rid of them, let them alone; hu. if YOU
still want TO eniov good living and
proencritv GET BUSY.
There is more than one way to
"beat the boil wecvil." Ask v0u'
County Agent what they are and how
TO grow other crops that The boil
wccvll will not destroy. 1t will also
nav every cotton farmer to read the
buI lctm. methods of Growing Cotton
under Boil Weevi Conditions" This
bulletin may be had upon application
to your County Agent.

CONGFS BACK AGAIN
Editor Of The Times,
Manning, S. G..

Editor Of The Times,
Manning, S. G.
Dear SIR
In your editorial Of the 1st, in re-
ply to my letter Of the same date, you
made splendid effort to confuse
things, and no doubt succeeded in
tickling the fancy of your bunch of
kickers.
Lets see how much truth there is
in any one of your statements. You
say that I as a public official, should
not object to legitimate criticism. Do
you call your effort of the 1st, legi-
innate? or honest. Lets look at it
from another view point; you say that
when took charge of the Office sold
all of the county mules, and bought a
worthless tractor. The facts are that
sold 81" of the mules that were
still have seven of the mules that the
county owned when | took charge. In
your zeal to show me up bad, you fail
to see seven mules, suppose you call
that Legitimate? You say that you
are glad that / have paid the county
out of debt; have never claimed to
have paid it out of debt; I have only
claimed that we are not going to put
it in debt, in doing this tried hard
TO get others to see what proposition
/ was up against, in all Of my reports.
from the very first to the very last,
have given the facts, as to the $d0,-
10000, how much was available to put
on it, and how much was left to be
paid later, all of my reports show this,
and the acts of the Legislature show
how it was taken care Of. You know
all of this, and you show your crouch
! when you try to warp it around to
suit your aims.
Mr.. Applet get this indelibly fixed
in your mind; First: That you can
cater to the tax dodger Stacker and
grafters, even to the extent of con-
fusing the minds of honest, progress
sivc people: but when you have done
this, you will only have made a long
step backwards.
Second Get this, in 1917, the float
ing debt levy was two mills. in 1918,
one mill, in 1919, three mills. This
gave us approximately or will give
in the three years an income of $28.-
10000 which will be applied to the
floating debt. During the same period
! of time, the property tax available for
roads will be $50 10000, this is from
memory, but if you try to muddle it

ROBBERS STILL AT LARGE

Macon, Ga, Oct. 7.-Crawford
County authorities today are still
without clues in the robbery during
Sunday night of the Crawford county
bank, a state institution, at Roberta,
twenty-five miles west Of here. Yegg-
men, believed to have been experts,
blew open the vault and safe in the
bank and secured thousand dollars
in currency and five Thousand dollars
in liberty bonds.
The force of the explosion wrecked
the vault. The yeggmcn are believed
to have escaped in an automobile as
tracks found near the bank indicate
an automobile was used
Two Macon safes were blown on
Saturday night and small amount of
money obtained.

GOVERNMENT CLASSER
EXPLAINS GRADES

There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the spot quota
tlons used on the big black board in
window of Government CHASING
room, Home Bank & Trust Co..
building and for the benefit of all
concerned l furnish the following ex-
p;anation.
All spot cotton now sold at The ten
spot markets which names are given
on black board use middling cotton
as basis on which all sales are made.
For instance, if middling cotton sells
for 3Oc this is the basis. These strict
middling brings 60 points "on" Con
middling) or 5000. Good Middlinp
will bring 115 points 'on" (on mid
dling) or 31.15. Strict low, 1853
points "off" (off middling) or 28.42
Low Middling all off or $3.50 which q
strict low middling yellow fringe
would bring 500 off or 24.31 and so
with the twenty different grades.
All these cities named are designat
ed spot markets under the rules and
regulations of the Secretary of Agri-
culture under The United States Cot
ton Future Act which furnishes daily
quotations.
The average of such quotations
govern the differences in value of cot
ton OF various grades on the future
exchange in New York. Those quo
tatons show much more uniformity
than existed before the general adop-
ton of the Official Cotton Standards
of the United States OF course these
differences change some each week.
So you may see, the differences at
the Ten spot markets" are added to-
gether so as to get an average and
this average is really the difference
that should be used between grades.
One of the many good things the
Government has done for cotton was
to leave out New York as one of the
ten spot markets.
In other words the Government
uses quotations from the large spot
markets in the Cotton Belt as a basis
for difference between grades and New
York does not name them as it has in
the past.
l hope the farmers will see the ad-
vantage and help they receive by hav-
ing their cotton graded and even if
you have only one bale it should be
classed. Those wanting to hold and
insure cotton should have it graded by
all means. | now have tags number
ed to correspond with the grade cards
and you can tag each bale Of cotton
You may keep grade card until cot
ton is sold then mail it to this Office

100000 for the public printing for
1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916 this was at
the rate of $225.00 a year, those were

FEDERAL TROOPS IN
GARY NUMBER 1,1OC
Major General Leonard Wood In Com
mand of Forces Controlling
Steel Town.

Gary, Ind, Oct. 7.--Gary, site of one
of the United States Steel Corpora-
tlon's greatest plants, affected for
more than two weeks by the strike in
the steel industry, today was under
military control Of approximately L.
100 federal soldiers, commanded by
Major General Leonard Wood, COM
mandant of the central department
of the army. The men have just re-
turned from overseas. Five hundred
more troops fresh from riot duty at
omaha, Neb., wee on their way here
early today.
The call for federal troops was made
by James P. Goodrich governor of In
diana after thousands of strikers pa
raded and held mass meetings after
being forbidden by the mayor, the po-
lice and the approximately 300 state
militamen stationed at Gary.
The course Of the strike here has
been marked by little violence. With
the reports during the past week that
strikers in increasing numbers we're
resuming their old places in the steel
mills the attitude Of pickets whose
number also ncreasc1, became threat
ening and for a time it seemed as if
a serious clash would be unavoidable.
With the parade yesterday however
according to a statement by Governor
Goodrich, the situation became so
threatening that it was deemed advis-
able to ask for federal troops.
Upon the arrival of the federal SOL
diers and the issuance of proclama-
ton by Gen. Wood proclaiming mil
itary control the state militia were or
dercd to Indiana Harbor and East Chi
cago, Ind, where Governor Goodrich
declared martial law.
Following the action of several
score men wearing the uniform of the
United States in leading the parade
against orders of the mayor and police

ordered that call men in the uniform
