DESTROY COTTON STALKS
Most Important Single Ste? in Fight
Against Boil Weevil.

Censor College. Oct. 3.-The early
fall destruction of cotton stalks is the
most important single step in any fight
against the cotton boil weevil. SO says
Prof. A. f. COnradi, entomologist.
who adds that ii has been shown time
and again in practice and by expert
ments that the most favorable cOndi-
tonS for the boil weevil to pass the
winter successfully are found in those
fields in which the cotton stalks, to.
gether with grass, weeds. fallen leaves
and other refuse are LETT undisturbed
until nearly time to plant the follow
ing season. On such fields the greatest
number of wcevils will survive, and
every farmer should ask himself the
question, "Win | permit my farm to
be a winter hotel for the pcst?'
In other words. will the farmer
choose to destroy the wcevil this fall
or have the wCevil destroy his cotton
next season? The earlier the stalks
are destroyed the fewer wc"vilS Will
survive the winter. In infested fields
il is common to find wceviS at the
rate of five thousand TO twenty five
thousand per acre ut the time of first
frost. 1t is a well known fact that the
wecvils developing late in the fall are
the ones most Likely TO survive the
winter, as they are not worn out by
long flights and the rearing of the
young as are the older wcCvils. For
this reason, development of wocvi's in
late fall must be prevented as the first
step in making the next cotton crop.
Therefore, we should start now, a
c'eaning campaign such as South
! Carolina has never before witnessed.

ment it may be noted that there are
81 cards, 365 pips or spots and II
tricks, representing, respectively, the
weeks and days in the year, and the
lunar months.
The cards in use at the present time
originated in France, Iand the fou"
suits represent tie four classes of peo-
pie as they were at that time divided
socially. The spades" were intended
TO represent implements of labor, but
arcarheads. and the SPADE suit stood
for the military class; clubs" are
really clover leaves and typified the
agriculturists: diamonds were roof
ing tiles, representing artisans and
tradesmen. while hearts stood for &C.
clesiastics. being an adaptation Of a
sacred symbol.
The face cards, or court cards" rs
they were more properly designated
are self-explanatory. Jacks" or
knaves were the testers or fools" of
the royal courts. Originally the
kings" and queens" were more or
less correct likencssCs Of actual per-
sonages, and it is claimed that even
in the present Cay cards one Of the
queens is a conventionalized but rca-
sonably good portrait of Elizabeth of
York. who was engaged to the DAN
phin Of France. The court cards have

Sweet Child.-A worthy professor
was invited TO dine at the house of n
lady of fashion. The day was hot, the
wine cool. the professors thirst great,
and the fair neighbor with whom the
professor was engaged in lively con-
versation filled his glaCs as often as it
was emptied.
When the company rose from the
table, the professor noticed, to his
great CONSERVATION, that he was un-
steady on his feet.
They repaired TO the drawing room,
where the hostess yielded to the wish
es Of her lady friends and ordered the
nurse to bring in the baby twins.
The pair were lying together on
pillow, and the nurse presented them
for inspection to the person nearest
to the door, who happened to be the
professor He gazed at them intently
for a while, struggling valiantly to
subdue the rebellious tendency of his
vision. Then he looked up and said
hopefully:
Really, what sweet little child"

HOBBIES OF GREAT MEN
Webster Liked to Paint Faces of His
Cattle.

George WashinEton's principal di-
version was training baby foxes. He
was fond of fox hunting. He took the
animals home and trained them in all
kinds of tricks, which he often eXhib-
tied to friends, says the Detroit News.
Francis Bacon was so fond of fine
clothes that he spent his odd time in
trying to devise new styles and fea-
lures of dress. During his life he
made some 1900 drawings of freakiSh
costumes. When he could not get any
body to wear them he hired num-
ber of men TO don the grotcsque at
tire and 20 promenade the streets for
his pleasure.
President Cleveland liked to paint
the children's TOYS and little odds and
ends of household furniture. Seated
on stool, with the youngsters of the
White House around him, Mr. Cleve-
land would amuse himself for hours
decorating their toys in the liveliest
shades.
"Fenirlore Cooper couldn't write
unless he had gumdrops to chew" said
a librarian. He bought gumdrops in
ten-pound lots.
Danial Webster had a curious fancy
for painting the faces of his cattle.
One week the poor beasts would walk
around with blue faces and the next
would appear with red ones. The cf-
feet was so novel that it pleased him.
and from that time forth he changed
the color whenever he had a few min
utes to spare, and would laugh heart
lily at the astonishment of his friends
when they saw the looking
beasts.

tions Of the country at that time.

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM
Governor Cooper Discusses tine Whole
Situation.

Bond issues for public improve
mcnts will serve a double purpose at
the present timr," said Governor Coop
er Friday.
1T is generally known that many
communities need new school bui.d-
ings. There is also abundant room
for highway development in the state.
when il is rem .mbered that there
IS considerable unemployment in the
state and that there may be more idle
labor as the winter advances, when we
recall that building materials are COM
paratively cheap now, the wisdom OF
voting bonds for public improvements
becomes obvious. OF course 1t is not
to be understood that | advocate
spending money merely to give en-
ployment TO men, but the money can
be expended wisely and serve 10 de-
velop the state.
Change in Agriculture.
There is now under way a change
in our system Of agriculture, and while
this change is in progress there is sure
to be more or less disorganization and
consequent unemployment.
The boil weevil has nccessitated 4
change in our principal crop and while
we are adjusting ourselves, there will
be abundant labor for public works
Now is a time most opportune for
pushing improve projects.
This fall the cotton crop will be
very short. Many negroes who find
employment during n part of the fall
in gathering the cotton will have lite
to do and they will need work. Funds
expended on road building will not
only serve to develop the country but
will at the same time provide needed
employment for common labor.
1T is Likely the governor continued
that | shall make reference in my
message to the Legislature to the ad-
visibility of pushing public improve
mcnts at this time"
Talks of Office Rents
In speaking of employment on pub
lie works for the joblcss, the governor
mentioned the fact that the state
spends annually about $4,000 for rent
for state offices. AS is generally
known the health department is in the
Palmetto bui' ding; the department of
education is in the Loan and EX-
change bank building; the department
Of agriculture is in the Liberty bank
building. Heretofore the governor has
spoken of the desirabiiity Of build
ing for the state offices. the erection
of such a building would not only give
employment TO the idle but would also
provide the state with structure
much needed.
Several men have been calling on
Governor Cooper recently for assis-
tance in providing them with work
Most of them told practically the same
story-lack of business by the place
where they were employed the neces-
sity for curtai.ing expenses and the
release vi part vi ''e h''NS'
wanted work around town and did not
seem to care to go to the country FOR
employment.
One negro called on the governor re-
Gently to talk about house rents and
asked that something be done to get
them reduced. The governor referred
/ tho rn lIar to AIgCOI. Ria 'Ock
Reports from the Associated Chari-
ties are to the effect that more calls
