A MRS MARVIN led us upstairs
~ to her daughters room, she
turned and said to me, my
daughter is out horseback-riding,
she may return any minute"
Just as we entered Miss Marvin's
room an unpleasant thought enter
ed my mind. Is it possible that our
decision to conduct, such search
to her room has already been COM
municated to her or to DR.. Muck
through one of the German SYM
pathizers in the department and the
discriminating correspondence in her
possession destroyed? We learned
afterward that either Miss Marvin
had destroyed some of Muck's most
discriminating letters, or, she had
not, but wrote and told him that
she had. For the following letter
explains that she had told Dr. Muck
that she had made a bonfire of his
letters. 1t reads:

Because the war made SO many new

Young women between the ages OF

the cotton boil .weevil is still IN prog
ress and unless stopped by cold wealth
er there is no way Of knowing at TINS
time, where this migration will end,
SAYS Professor A. F. Conradi, OF the
Crop Pest Commission.
At this writing (No9.S 12) the weev:I
has been found at HaRtwel1, Ga-, a
little south Of Anderson and at Eau
rens and. Kershaw. The northermost
point reported by North Carolina IS
Chadhourne.
No boil weeril maps are beng Isss,i-
ed at this time because su..a sfaaps
made one day would become obsefete
I and misleading by the next. The line
indicated below is a current one and
may have changed by the time tn's
article reaches the reader. The line
on November % would run approxi-
mately as follows.
Hartwell, Ca, Anderson. Laurens.
Kerssaav: S. c., and Chadbourne, N. G.
It would not be surprising, however,
to find weevils at some points nauch
further north than this line within
the next few days. Weevi1 movements
are governed by weather, by abund-
ance Of squares and by abundance OF
cotton. In sctions where cotton is thin
weevil migration is more rapid.
In order to protect the little free
territory which is still ours. the safety
line runs through the following points
approximately:
Mountain Rest, Pickens, Pacolet
and Rock Hill, and joins the North
Carolina line approximately at Van
WICK. There is no longer any need
for the quarantine zone.
