BOIL WEEVIL IN COLLETON.
First Hand Information as to What
the Pest is Doing in Lower
Carolina.

The Press and Standard published
at Walterboro, the county seat of Col
Teton, gives some first hand informa-
tion as to what the boil weevil is do
ing in that county. The information
was obtained by addressing letters to
the farmers themselves and asking
them how they were getting along in
their fight against the weevil. The
letter from one farmer in the Hen
dersonville section of Colleton is par
ticularly interesting in that it de-
scribes condition as they will un-
doubtedly exist in Dillon county IN the
next year or two. The letter follows:

census of opinion concerning boil

community has given us a very IN.
teresting and instructive piece Oh
work. We should like to have had
for a wider range OF in
terviews, but have been able to talk
only with some of the planters VINO
live within the village, so the ln1or-
nation comes from limited num-
ber, but we feel that it is representa-
tive of the condition in this section,
We had interviews with the following
gentlemen who are among our most
successful planters: T. S. Boynton, u.
E. H. Moore, C. H. Boynton, J. y:
Guess, D. E. Guess, c.. H. Marvin, anc
Desmond Marvin. To the question con-
cerning the present outlook for cotton
all replied in the same emphatlc man
ner, "No prospects" None gave any
other than a dismal picture or the
situation. Still none were dlstresseu
or cast down with encouragement LOT
il is but as expected They are accept
ing the situation as patter OF TACT
and are seeking to profit by the ex-
perience of last year by turning IN
other directions than cotton. Ine
general opinion is that the acreage
has been cut two-thirds or three
fourths. Several of the farmers who
have always planted cotton have elm
mated it altogether this year, Whlle
those who have planted seem to nave
done so chiefly as matter OF expert
ment.
The weevil seems to have anticl.
pated a scarcity of the coveted plant
for in many places his appearance
was noted with the breaking OF the
soil. Not content to await the ar
rival of the boil, he began his de-
structive attack upon the tendel

ROMANCE ENDS IN GRIEF.
Marion Girl is Deserted by Worthless
Husband After Brief Welded

A recent issue of tn, Wilmington
Star contains the fouowlng which
may be of interest to persons in TINS
section.
"A telephone romance which be-
gan in Marion, S. G. four years. ago
was blasted yesterday morning in the
recorders court here when Bella
Compo, 21 years old, charged her hus-
band, Ernest Ccnpo, with non-sup-

in default of $500 bail.

said. The family larder became low

After leaving Marion it was wall

Eventually the pair landed In VIZ

they resorted either to poisoning o
picking up squares.

they resorted either 10 poisoning or
picking up squares.
AS regards the substitute crops,
corn seems to be the leading resort.
Along with this more acreage and at
tention is being given velvet beans,
peanuts, peas, and potatoes. Also d
great deal is invested in live stock
from which many expect their princi-
pal profit. 1t is the opinion that the
farmers are preparing to meet the
fall with it's financial claims by their
present foresight. their reliance upon
grain crops and live stock a stricter
economy in living and larger pro-
duction for home consumption.
T. S. Boynton is very optimistic,
not over the boil weevil situation,
but over the farmers ability TO meet
the new conditions. He is demon
strating this in very practical way
and at present has splendid prospects
for the fall harvest. Last year he
had $50 acres in co.. = this year only
five which he had planted only as an
experiment. He has used the poison
solution and is having the squares
picked up. In place of cotton he has
turned to a larger production OF corn
and beans, 100 acres in peas from
which he will have both the fruit and
hay, about 60 acres in peanus, which
surely rival if not surpass other pea
nut crops of the section.
C.. H. Boynton thinks the farmers
are rather easily discouraged over
the weevil conditions and do no
fight them hard enough. He WORKS
on the share crop system and mas
reduced his cotton acreage from
acres last year to 80 this year, per-
mitting about four acres to the plow.
His croppers have been using Doll
weeyil machine along with the other
usual methods. He has planted corn,
peanuts, velvet beans and peas which
he will store up chiefly for his large
herds of live stock.
]. C. Guess reduced his acreage
from 60 to IL acres this year. Find
ing the weevils in the crop from the
beginning he has not worked IT oul
rather devoted his energy to corn
beans, oats, hay and live stock. MT
Guess feels that as much as half a
crop of cotton can be made If 1t can
be planted early enough and have tall
conditions for it to grow off qulckl!
before the weevil can do so much
damage. This season this year was
much against securing this earl!

G.. E. H. Moore has as pretty 6
crop of cotton as can be seen any
where, but the weevil has been witt
him from the start. He decreased nj:
acreage about two-thirds, from 80 tt
27 acres. He began the fight at frs
