Rock Hill, July 1G.--l'agc the boil
wccvil!
If he hasn't advanced into York
county yet, it is just a matter Of q few
days until he is within the borders of
the White Rose. No, there is no mis-
take about it. The bug that is with the
farmers in the Harmony section, in the
Edgmoor section, around Lewl:'-
Turnout and other Chester sections
bordering on York, is the real, genuine,
unadulterated boil .weevil.
Farmers from those sections who
were in Rock Hill today were talking
about it. Some Of them had been down
state where the boil wecvil has been
working for more than year. Others
had studied about boil wcevils until
they couldn't possibly be mistaken.
All are Of the opinion that it will ad-
vance into York county within the next
few days. What it is going to do Tor
this years crop is purely matter OF
speculation. Some say that it vii! clean
things up and others say that there will
not be much doing.
Al are convinced that the wcevI
will be here in force next year and
that the present is the last year that
they will be able to make a cotton
crop without great depredations from
the wee,'il.
Fish Go Begging.
Fresh fish brought to Rock Filll TO-
day from Catawba river were nara
sale. Just why is not known unless
there we're more fish than the Rock
,Hill market could take care of. Lots OF
the fish brought in today were carp
and nobody around Rock Hill who
knows a bit about fish is particularly
keen about carp.
One young fisherman from the river
icction walked around the streets this
morning carrying by the 81 IS carp
that weighed eight and Il half pounds.
Hc tricrl faithfully to dispose OF the
fish, but being una bic to find sale for
il had 10 carry il back home.
The Curb Market.
The Country store" or curb market
originated here several weeks ago ny
Miss InanItu Nicely. womHn's home
demonstration agent for York counr.,
continues to dn Il good business on
Saturdays. \ large quantity of coun-
try produce. including chickens, butte,
eggs and vegetables, was brought IN ny
ladies from the countryside this morn
inu and as usual most of it WIS diSpoS-
cd of at prices satisfactory to every
body concerned.
AS IL general thing the business OF
tho country store" Is about over on
Saturday mornings by ii O'Clock. The
ladies from the country who bring pro
ducc to the store come early and ROCK
lIill housewives who buy most OF 1t
come to the market between and 10
O'Clock in the morning. So by II
o'clock, as Il usual thing, there is moth
ing left but the lcavings.
