FIGHTING WEEYIL

Small Grain and Glover Being Plant

Large Wheat Acreage Being Plant
cd.
County Agent, J. E. Trevathan has
been conducting campaign against
the boil wecvil during the past several
weeks. Meetings have been held in
school houses all over tho county,
and several articles have been pub
lished in the county papers urging the
farmers to plow under cotton stalks
and SOW winter cover crops as one
step towards fighting the boil wccvil.
In addition to this Mayor Franks of
Laurcns has been selling wheat at cost
and has offered prize Of $25 to the
man who makes the highest yield Of
wheat in the county.
The farmers have responded to this
campaign in a very satisfactory way,
states Mr.. Trevathan. More cotton
stalks are being Wlowcd under than
has ever been the custom in the past.
Inc amount Oh rye, oats, clover, ana
vetch seed sold in the county is about
double the normal sales. 1t is esti-
mated that over five thousand bushels
Of wheat will be planted in the county
this year which is an increase Of pos
siby thousand per cent over the
usual amount; These figures are
rough estimates but they show that
the farmers are preparing to attack
the boil wccyil at very vital spot
and at Il very Opportune time.

FORMER PROFESSOR
DIES AS ERSKINE
Paul J.. Gricr Stricken at Football
Game. Teacher Of Mathematics.

Due West, Nov. ll.-PrOf. Paul Liv-
ingston Gricr, we'll known citizen of
this town, died here this afternoon Of
heart failure while attending the
football game between Erskine COL
lcgc and Newbcrry. He was stricken
suddenly while at the field and cx-
pircd in few minutes. Mr.. Grier has
been in feeble health for several
months. and some weeks ago was at
the point Of death
Mr.. Grcr was 5S years old and for
about 80 years was head Of the de-
partment Of mathematics in Erskine
college. He gave up his college work
about two years ago on account Of
failing health, and since that time had
not been strong. He was widely
known in this section Of the state and
over the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian synod and his sudden death
came as shock to his friends and
relatives.
Mr.. Grier was a son Of the late Rev.
r. c. Grier and Mrs. Barbara Mof-
fatt Grier. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs. rI1flie Pressly Grier. and
"l@ 'c,lc"iNG children: The Rev. w.

also by reason of q misunderstanding
said to have been extremely beautiful,
did not reach the city in time to take
part in the exhibit. These schools
were the Fleming school, taught by
Miss Mamie Creighton, typifying "A
settlement in North Carolina and
the Friendship school, Miss Mamie
Wallace, teacher, with float repre-
senting Ceres, Goddess of the Har-

toned and taking part inc the exhibit
were the Rockbridge school, 'Colum-
bus Crossing the Ocean,; Gray Court
Owings, 'Iiawatha'; Mills school,
Pioneer North Carolina, Trinity
Ridge school, United States at Pres
ent Day. 1t is confidently predicted
that next year at least twenty-five
floats will take a part in this feature
of the fair. The idea Of the school
exhibit originated with Miss vii Lou
Gray, rural school supervisor for Lau-
rens county, and it was largely
through her efforts that such a credi-
table exhibit was made"
1t may truthfully be said, then, that
barring future pageant exposures Lau-
rens may lay claim to the introduce
ton Of pagcantry in South Carolina
and that Miss Wil Lou Gray, now state
supervisor OF adult schools, was it's
first sponsor.

Country Dwelling Burned

The home Of Mr.. Russell Poole, To-
Gated near Mr.. w. ID. Byrd's in the
Sandy Springs section, was destroyed
by fire at one o'clock Tuesday after
noon, Nov. Sth. 1t is said that Mrs.
Poole and the children were visiting
at the home Of Mr.. r. p. Poole at the
time and that Mr.. Poole himself was
in the field when the fire occurred.
The origin OF the blaze is unknown,
and when neighbors reached the place
the fire had made such headway that
nothing could be saved from the
building. It Is understood that the
dwelling was insured for something
like 81 900. # was formerly the home
OF the late Charlie Pully and had been
remodeled and improved within the
past few years.

Laurens VS.. Honea Path Friday

The local high school football team
will meet the strong team from Honea
Path on the local field Friday after
noon at 3 O'clock. Honea Path is in
the race for the high school champion
ship along with Gaffney and Chester.
The visitors have splendid record
without a single defeat, and have a
knack for piling uo top heavy scores
against their opponents.
The local team, while not hoping for
a victory, expect to hold the "hill-
billics' to small score. The team
that goes on the field Friday will not
be the patched up team that was nosed
cut by Clinton on November 4. Every
man in the squad will be ready and
eager to play and when the final
whistle is sounded Honea Path will
know that they have had real battle.
A large crowd should witness the
contest as this may be the last one to
be played on the local field this season.

DUSSELDORF, Germany, March I3
A great industrial crisis in the
Rhireland toward which developments
here have been pointing for six or
eight weeks is expected to mature in
tie near future. The French are any-
ious about what the workers will do
when the climax is reached. although
the heads Of the German labor unions
have informed General Gaucher.
French commander in Dusseldorf, that
the workers have no intention Of blam-
ing the Allied occupation for their
troubles.
The Allies appear to have undertaken
the administration of the Rhineland
at very critical period, the advent
Of which the German government
doubtless was aware of. The work
ers, who in the whole Of this district
are very socialistic. not to say COM
punistic, and to whom the very name
Hugo SHINES is anathema. have the
fixed idea that the millionaire German
coal baron is at the bottom Of every
industrial change that hurts them
Allied officials in charge of these
matters and representatives Of large
French and Belgian interests in the
Rhineland do not share these views.
because they are convinced that the
German industrial magnates place
business before other cons iderations
and are not likely to shut down their
factories or put them on part time
unless they are actually forced to by
market conditions.
Symptoms of Prosperity Deceptive
The truth is that the German indus
trial situation is not as apparently
prosperous as it has been represented
to be. At first after the war large
number of government orders were re-
ceived, and these gave the Rhineland
factories the appearance of activity
without really promoting their pros
perity. Even with the addition of
large orders sent in from allied coun-
tries, particularly from Great Britain
and the United States it is estimated
