BACK AFTER AZ YEARS
&. f. Driggers Surprises His Broth
erS-From Boil Weevil Section
Pee Dee Advocate.

Pee Dee Advocate.
G. E. Driggers, of Vivian, Louis
lana, who has been away from Marl-
boro for AZ years, is visiting rela-
tives here. He and his three bro
thers, Thad Driggers, Billy Driggers
and Tom Peele, had a family re-
union Tuesday at Mr.. Peele's, at the
mill village here, and ate dinner to-
gether for the first time in fifty years
G.. E. surprised his brothers by
slipping in one day last week. They
had not heard from him in about
twenty years and had not seen him
in AZ years. He is now minus one
arm, one Of his arms having been
shot off about sixteen years ago.
Mr.. Driggers is from a section that
has been infested with the boil Wee
vii for many years. He says they
are still trying to make tton, and
succeed fairly we'll in dry years.
Last year they made more than they
could gather. This year it had been
raining for several weeks when he
left and the weevils had practically
destroyed the crop. He says no hu-
man means has been discovered to
control them and the weather alone
determines the damage they do.

TOBACCO GROWERS.

Doubtless you have received by now
letter explaining the purpose OF
the South Carolina Tobacco Assocla-
ton and posters headed Help the
Tobacco Market" Inasmuch as some
parts of this poster have been misun-
derstood we wish to make the fol-
lowing explanation in regard 10 the
part which refers to Leaving Your
Money in Your Local Bank
Some few people seem to consider
this to mean that unless the tobacco
money is left in the local banks that
the banks will not have money to cash
the tobacco checks given at the ware
houses. Of course, everyone KNOWS
that the banks have the usual amount
of money necessary at this time OIL
the year and all those required py
the law as reserve fund. We all kne"
that the banks are in good condltlon
and will cash all checks presented.
The point, however, is that the buy
ers in a number of cases, especially
local buyers, are obliged TO secure
their money from the banks in order
to be able to give these checks. IL
has been the custom heretofore Tor
most of the tobacco money to borrow
ed in the north, but on account OF the
money stringency the tobacco people
have not been able, as we understand,
to negotiatiate loans as heretofore,
and are largely having TO secure same
form the local banks. NOW, the point
is that unless the deposits in the
local banks are made larger by the
farmers leaving their moneys IN the
| local banks, it will mean that there
will be less money in the hands OF
the buyers, and, therefore, must nee
essarily mean lower prices. The To-
bacco Association is an organization
of farmers, business men, warehouse
men, bankers and professional men,
all working together to try TO help the
market; and the officers having stud
lied the situation deem this move ne
cessary, and feel that the least the
Farmers can do would be to cooperate
! by leaving their money in the banks
OH deposit say from thirty TO slXty
days, and thereby we feel sure can
greatly help in holding up the price Of
tobacco. Their money sill be perfect
! ly safe in the bank, and by this move
will ultimately revert to their good.
If there has been any misunder-
standing concerning this literature
previously sent out in your commun-
ity, will you please correct same and
do what YOU can to make the farmers
and all other to understand?
In the meanwhile, we should be in
deed glad if you would solicit men,
bers for the Sow. Carolina Tobacco
Association. Mr.. Harkey and Mr.. Lew
is, or one of these gentlemen will be
al your town at the earliest possible
moment to help in the solititation.
Pleaes give this your careful consld-
Grafton.
Thanking you in advance, am,
Yours very truly,
S. c. Tobacco Association,
r, B. Young, Secretary.

TOBACCO is TOO
TOUGH FOR WORMS
Influence of August Moon on Weed
Blow to Pest, the Growers Say.
Florence Daily Times.

Florence Daily Times.
Tobacco planters may congratu-
late themselves over the fact that
the full moon in August will not ar
rive until the close of the month. BY
the same token, according TO a the
ory, advanced by local farmer, the
tobacco worms will be cheated out of
a lot of square meals. The moon
controls" lot Of things in the world
according to various theories, includ-
ing the tides, fish, lunatics, of certain
kinds, ETC., and its phases have now
been found to have all to do with to-
hacco worms.
The June crop" of tobacco worms
is not much of nuisance, it is stated
by this farmer. 1.-The worms soon go
into the ground" 1t may be that the
june rains or something drives them
into scclusion. They die in the earth
it is assumed. The August crop, the
second Of the season, is capable OF
playing havoc with the growing weed.
There remains the fact that when to-
bacco is we'll matured and the leaves
are tough, the tobacco worm cannot
Chew" the tobacco literally speak
ing.
This years crop, being late, would
be susceptible to much damage from
the August worms were it not for the
full moons lateness.

co fly which lays the eggs Of the to-
bacco worm builds her nest; she is
kept from laying on dark nights. pos

til after the sun goes down that she
gets busy, however, late as it is, the
tobacco crop will be too tough Tor

the time the August full moon gets

TRAIN DEMOLISHES AUTO.

An Essex roadster was struck by
a fast freight at the Harrison street
crossing Saturday night and complete
ly demolished. The car was being
driven by James Hamer, Jr. who
was crossing the track where the
section crew had made an excavation
in replacing boards at the crossing.
The front wheels of the car plunged
into the hole between the tracks and
stuck. The freight train was coming
down the road and James and others
made faithful efforts to get the car
out of the hole, but were unsuccessful.
Some one ran down the track and
tried to flag the train, but it was too
late when the engineer saw them. The
car is a complete wreck. This is the
second car Mr.. Hamer has lost on the
railroad.

truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-

If you child has a cold when diptheria
is prevalent you should take him out
of school and keep him off the street
until fully recovered, as there is a
