THE KICK THAT KILLS

"Ono ounce Of wood alcohol will cause total or permanent blindness and two or three, in most cases, will cause death"
 That is the verdict of most health officials. Your family doctor will tell you the same thing. Ask him.
 And yet this same wood alcohol is being poured into otherwise harmless liquids to "give lem a kick And on the strength of this "kick" bootleggers and other illicit dealers in intoxicants sell it to their customers.
 Yes, it has kick. tremendous kick. One ounce will kick you into utter darlkness for the rest of your life, and two or three ounces will kick the dx1u1ear into his grave.

BOIL WEEVIL WILL
DO SOME DAMAGE,

fcDOrtS come from all parts OF the
county except the Fork that boil wee
wills are beginning to do some damage.
Many farmers are beginning to find,
since the recent rains, that squares
which have bee punctured by the
weevil are falling to the ground. The
damage so far. however, is not ma
terial and will likely not be very
great this year. although the pest is
widely scattered throughout the
county. According to the st. Mat
thews correspondent of The State the
weevil has begun some damage in Cal
houn county. particularly in the up
per part bordering on Aiken. though
the lower part seems practically free
of the pest.
There is no need for alarm in the
situation so far as Lexington county
is concerned this year. but those who
know say that every farmer ought to
keep on constant lookout for the
weevil and try to destroy everyone
possible. burning the punctured
squares as they fall to the ground
before the wccvil has gained time to
