Wcevil Appears EARLY at Hampton.

Hampton, S. c.. May THE boil
weevil has already put in its appear
ance in Hampton county for the year
1920, although cotton is just now be-
ing chopped out A prominent far
mer Of Brunson was in Hampton on
Monday and exhibited a full-grown
specimen that had been found on a
cotton plant hardly two inches high.
This farmer, while planting only IA
acres of cotton to seven plows, made
the statement that the appearance Of
this weevil has about decided him to
plow up the IA acres of cotton and
plant some other crop. The cold
weather has hurt the cotton to some
extent anyhow, and the outlook for
cotton crop in Hampton county this
year Is exceedingly gloomy.

Hon. James NJ. Moss, Walhalla, 8. G.
Dear Mr.. Moss:- 55,.
i see by the State of Tuesday that
your county convention went on rec
ord favoring woman suffrage in the
primaries. believe yours to be the
only one doing SO.
Personally wish to extend to you
my hearty thanks. and to assure you
Of the appreciation Of the women Of
South Carolina. We will see to 1t
that when the suffrage history Of
South Carolina is written, this fact
shall be recorded. Like the little
streams Of your mountains, let us
hope that this beginning will become
a mighty torrent, sweeping all oppo-
sitfon before 1t. We so much hoped
that our own State would have en-
franchised us, but since that is one
Of the things that cannot now be, it
is like balm to a wound to read what
Ocohee has done.
Very sincerely,
Mrs. w. l.. Dunovant,
Press Chairman,
S. c. Equal Suffrage League.

CHARITIES, CIVCS
AND BENEVOLENCES
ALI Have the Attention of the Union
City Lions Club.

Continuing the promotion of the
work on the Gibbs road, the work of
the United Charities was taken up
for consideration last Tuesday at the
Lions Club luncheon, at the Jones
Cafe.
Mr.. Oliver disposed of the road
matter by a resolution to constitute
committees for the purpose of rails
ing balance needed to complete the
road and to keep it dragged and in
good condition during the winter.
The work will be presented to the
citizens in a few days and should
have your earnest attention. The
small amount should be forthcoming.
1t can not be neglected without dis
credit to Union City and her people
and 1t will not be.
The management of the United
charities in Union City was dis
cussed. Rev. Clark suggested that
an organization be effected with a
minister from each of the churches,
a layman and another suggested by
the city officials, three men repre-
senting each church, to take charge
of dispensing the work of charity in
Union City. and that committee
be constituted to act upon each case
of charity brought to the notice of
the city and the churches, and that
all charity be reported to this or
ganization.
The anti-tuberculosis work was al |
80 discussed, and recommendation
made to aid Mrs. w. H. Swiggart in |
he work she is doing in Obion Coun-
". Mrs. Swiggart has been engaged |
n this work for a number of years,

ion that the Lions Club take an in
crest in the movement was accepted
heartily, there being no better or

Negro Shoots Employer.

community was greatly aroused to-
day when Frank Williams, negro
farm hand, is said to have attempted
to kill his employer, Charlie Lattus,
well known young farmer. Fortu-

was loaded with No. IL shell and
only few shot took effect, one pass
ing just above his eye, one through
his mouth and two in his head. Lat
tus was insisting that Williams pick
cotton. Williams wife came to the
door and drew a shotgun on Lattus.
Lattus drew his pistol and Williams
ran into the house and grabbed the
gun from his wife and fired at Lat
tus. Officers pursued as soon as
word reached here. Bloodhounds ar
rived four hours later and the negro
was traced to thicket, where the
