the coming year is not very bright.
Tho New York Commercial does
not represent the farmer. 1t is In no
sense an agricultural paper. 1t rep
resents the "other side," that Is the
side that deals in what the farmer
produces. Times have changed. II
this article had appeared in the Com
mercial five or ten years ago 1t would
have been charged with treason. IL
would have been unfaithful to the
interests it represents. But the Com
mercial views the cotton situation IN
it's proper light. 1t is not like the os-
trich that hides its head in the sand
when it sees danger approaching. 1t
sees a coDdition which must De iaceu
and it feels that it is doing its duty
when it sounds a note of warning.
The advice the Commercial offers
the farmer is not altogether for the
best interests of the traders among
whom the Commercial moves and cir
culates. 1t is good advice for the
farmer, but if the farmer follows 1t
ma jority of the Commercials most
loyal readers viii pay more for the
clothes they wear next year. The
man himself who wrote the article
will have to contribute his quota. For
these reasons the article Is well worth
studying. 1t is in many respects
most remarkable admission, and COM
ing from the source it does gives 1t
weight.

MORE BOIL WEEVILS?

j. H. Herring, who farms near town
says he has found the boil weevil. He
says the boil weevil is here. He
brought one of the creatures to The
Herald office Tuesday morning. Mr..
Herring has been in Georgia and he
says he knows the boil weevil when
he sees 1t and he is positive it is the
real article.
Mr.. Ed. McEachernj says they are all
over the county. He says they are not
waiting for the cotton boil to devel-
op but are eating the squares. He
has seen evidences Of them in many
fields and is positive 1t is the boil
weevil.
County Agent Epps says it is the
old time pea bug. He says the boil
weeyil does not make his appearance
this early in the game and does not
attack the bloom or square. There
is very little difference, says Mr..
Epps, so far as general appearances
go between the pea bug and the boil
weeyil. They look very much alike
and 1t takes an expert to distinguish
one from the other. Mr.. Epps says
in the next two years the Dillon coun-
" farmers will see lots of bugs they
neVer>sa before. The reason they
nave not seen them before is because
they have not been looking for them.
They have been here all the time,
but every bug that resembles a boil
Weevil is not weeyil. Mr.. Epps does
not think there is much danger from
the boil weevil this year, but next
year he may make his appearance in
large numbers.

In MemoriuIn.

IL has not been long as months
run since it pleased our heavenly
Iather TO call from his earthly lab
ors, Lawrence K. Bethea, yet it
seems very, very long as friends count
absence. We miss him more than we
can express, however, we do not wish
him away from the life more abun-
dant which he is now so surely en-
Joylng. The memory of his unselfish
life is left us-its sweet influence
can never perish. He built his own
monument in the hearts of all who
knew him. And 10 live in hearts he
leave behind is not to die!
During the last few years when
II has been so easy to become selfish
Nj Bethea kept his heart and home
aShospitable as in former years. His
friends were always aglow with cheer
and welcome. No one was ever
turned empty away from his door or
treasured any but pleasant recollec-
tions OF his treatment OF them. AS,
a citizen, friend and neighbor he
stood high. No needy person or
worthy cause, were ever brought I'd
his attention that he did not offer at
once to do major part in relieving
the situation. He was generous not
only with his means but also with his
talents and time. Because of his SYM
pathy and understanding, because of
the helpfulness of his advice he was
always first resort in trouble. His
wise counsel will be missed by his
friends, his family and even the
tenants on his farm. His place in
Fork community life was unique,
and can never be filled by any other.
His church too will miss him, for he
was always there rain or shine, and
entered into all phases of the work
with equal Joy and interest.
The inspiration of Mr.. Bethea's life
for he was friend to man will
stimulate his friends who remain on
this side of the river to higher, bet
ter service for the King Of our fellow
man. 1t seems that we can all
but hear his own voice quoting Char
lotte Murray's beautiful poem from
the other side:
81 am home in heaven, dear ones,
Oh so happy and so bright,
There is perfect JOY and beauty
In this everlasting light,
All the pain and grief are over,
All the restless longing passed,
l am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond the shadows,
Try to trust our Fathers will,
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand,
Do it now while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home,
Oh! the rapture of that meeting
Oh! the JOY to see you come.
7S1t. a Friend.
