Correspondence of The Journal.
Bee Eazley has read where a COM
mon house fly becomes full grown in
about four weeks. He thinks il one
had all the bald heads he wanted to
feed on he would be grown in about
half that time.
Yam Barlow is accused of having
said he believed the Hogville Fiddling
Band is getting worse all the time.
The Band in some way has gotten
hold of this expression and on the
next regular rehearsal night Yam will
be forced 10 attend and make pub
lie apology. No man can say such,
(even if ii is true) and be considered
loyal citizen of the town.
Miss Petunia Belcher has large
wart on her neck just at the right
place to keep a necklace from slip
ping down, but the poor old girl has
no necklace.
Bub Smothers, Hogville grocer,
says if the public believes he is prof
iteering let them try paying his bills
for awhile.
Zero Peck says with his failure In
making a corn crop one good killing
frost will wind him up, as he is now
depending solely on grass for stock
food.
Dan Mathewsla, who does not claim
to know much, says the country seems
to be getting in a devil or fix
half of il on strike and the other
half wanting 10 strike. He thinks
there should be an effort made TO
get together.
The Hogville Dog Fair bids fair to
be a great success. In addition to the
many dogs to be entered for compe-
tition Miss Petunia Betcher will be
entered in the popularity contest
At the postoffice the other night
the question of extending an invita-
ton to King Albert and wife to visit
Hogville was discussed and II was de-
cided that we might not be able TO
treat them as good as they have been
used TO and il was considered wise
to withhold any invitations, but 10
treat them courteously in case they
decided 10 come voluntarily.
The Mail Carrier regards the words
"In Haste" written OH so many of the
letters on his route as reflection on
his integrity. He says the postal
service Is one big system and one
fellows letter cannot be delivered
ahead of another where both have
the same destination.

Boil Weeyil Found In Newberry
County, ;. {.

Newherry Observer.
The Observer mentioned in it's
Tuesdays issue that boil weevil
was found on Monday in field OF
Welch Wilbur ON his farm two miles
north of Newberry.
Tuesday morning John d. Nance
brought in several specimens of the
pest from his farm in Caldwell town
ship. nine miles east of the town.
VI. NJ. Livingston reports that he
has found numbers of them on his
farm in Floyd township, eleven miles
northwest of Newberry.
Other farmers make similar re-
ports; so that there is no doubt the
boil weevil is here and is rapidly
spreading over Newberry county.
III il had to comet has been
known for years that he would-he
could not have come at better time:
for his coming now, just when he can
prove a warning without doing a
great deal of damage, will impress
the farmers with the idea that they
will have TO reckon with him before
pitching another cotton crop, and
gives them the longest possible time
TO make their plans for 1920.

Expenses and Advertising.

/ Expenses and Advertising.
! In reply TO the oft-repeated ques-
ton, what becomes of the American
Cotton Association dues. Mr.. L. s.
Tomlinson. OF Wilson. gave the fol-
lowing answer in a recent speech al
Sanford:
There is being propaganda spread
throulh0u: the country by the cot
/ ton bears 10 suppress the price of
cotton. and kill the interest OF the
people toward the American Cotton
Association. Money has already been
used through publication 10 fight this
money TO kill ii. Second: The per-
manent association is to maintain a
paid secretary in each State. County.
and township in the cotton producing
States. Third: The Association will
publish a semi-monthly journal. and
send il free of charge To every mem
/ Der of the Association. This journal
will have on its staff paid experts in
the cotton markets which will keep
the journal informed on the market
conditions of The world. The secre-
taries of the townships will through
the county secretaries keep the journ-
al informed on crop conditions every
two weeks. The expense of this
Journal per annum viii amount TO
50 200 900.
ITO those who wish TO know why
bankers. business men, and profess
sional men are asked TO join and sup
port The organization: The prosperity
of the South is controlled by the
price OF cotton. If cotton is selling
al or below the cost of production the
4 farmers have little OF no money.
This condition affects the business in
4 terests of 10th bankers and business
men. especially merchants. The in
cone of the professional man is af-
/ fected by tie price Of cotton. and so
/ is the pay OF teachers. Good road and
rural school developments have been
held back by the low price OF cotton.
/ Rural women and children have been
made slaves to low cotton.
THE South HIS had, and will hold
for al least twenty years, a monopoly
on the worlds cotton production.
Cotton as a commercial product has
brought fair profits TO the ones who
have handled it, but this profit has
not been divided with the producer.
The purpose of the American Cotton
Association is 10 unite the business
and producing interests of the South
that they may be able through organ
ization to demand their part of the
profits from the greatest money crop
in tho world"
