Our First Women Voters.

(From the Greenville Piedmont.)
South Carolina women voted $50
years ago.
Eola Willis in The Charleston News
and Courier cites Gregg's History of
the Old Cheraws" as authority for the
statement that four women, Rebecca
Lide, Catherine Little, Sarah Booth
and Elizabeth Counsel, in 1896 voted
in the election for assemblyman.
The member Of the assembly chosen
from st. David's at this election was
Col. George Gabriel Powell.
"Does any one know of earlier wo-
mems vote than those, or does South
Carolina lead in this particular as in
so many other historical actions?'
asks Miss Willis.
This may have been the first in
stance of the exercise Of the ballot
by women in this history Of South
Carolina.
1t is probable that the four women
we're permitted to vote, not because Of
their sex, but because they owned
real proprty in their own names, as
freeholders were then the only per-
sons who could vote.

DESTROY COTTON STALKS NOW

Clemson College, Oct.3rd-THE
EARLY FALL DESTRUCTION OF
COTTON STALKS is THE MOST I'M
PoRTANT SINGLE STEP IN ANY
FIGHT AGAINST THE COTTON
BOIL WEEVIL. So says Prof. A. F.
Conrad, entomologist, who adds that
1t has been shown time and again in
practice and by experiments that
the most favorable conditions 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 left un-
disturbed until nearly time to plant
the following season. On such fields
the greatest number Of weevils will
survive, and every farmer should ask
himself the question, "Will l permit
my farm to be a winter hotel for
the pest?"
In other words, will the farmer
choose to destroy the weevil this fall
or have the weevil destroy his cotton
merit season? The earlier the stalks
are destroyed the fewer weevils will
survive the winter. In tested fields
1t is common to find weevils at the
rate Of five thousand to twenty five
thousand per acre at the time of first
frost. It is a well known fact that
the weeVils developing late in the
fall are the ones most likely to sur
vive the winter, as they are not worn
out by long flights and the rearing of
the young as are the older weevils.
For this reason, development Of wee
wills in late fall must be prevented as
the first step in making the next cot
ton crop.
Therefore, we should start now a
cleaning campaign such as South
Carolina has never before witnessed.
The boil weevil is a pest with a
terrible amount Of fight, and to meet
this situation our farmers must
develop the best fighting spirit Of
which they are capable.
Early stalk destruction and clean
farming with cover crops, constitute
the most powerful gun that can be
used against the pest at this time.
Whatever method of cleaning is en-
ployed, one thing is certain: THE
WEEvILS' WINTER HOTELS MUST
BE DESTROYED. In the words of
General Neville before Verdun,
THEY SHALL NOT PASS"
