BOIL WEEVIL DAMAGE

MIR. w. H. Scott, who lives in
Greenwood County,, says that last
year he made So bales of cotton on
So acres. AS an example of the acti-
vities of the boil weevil, he says that
if any man will make contract with
him to deliver five bales of cotton at
his house he will turn over to him
the entire So acres. He says he must
have a contract duly drawn up to
protect himself, as the man that
takes it is likely to make such a poor
trade that he would want to back
out.
W. F. Anderson, of Antreville, a
Clemson expert, who has visited all
sections of the state, says that the
boil weevils have done greater dam
age in the lower section of Green
wood County than in any other COM
munity he has visited. He does not
understand why this should be true,
and it is contrary to all predictions.
The statement has been made that
the boil weevil had not yet reached
the higher sections of the state and
that it would he another year or two
before the greatest damages from
the pest would result.

ply to the latest note from Secretary
of Safe Hughes, in which Panama
was told that. disputed territory
along the Costa Rican frontier Of
this country would be placed under
the Jurisdiction of Costa Rica, has
been considered by the Panaman
cabinet, and possibly will BE- deliver
ed on Wednesday. American diplo-
matte officials here are reticent re-
garding the situation, but it is known
that the Panaman reply has not as
yet gone forward to Washington
Although it is generally reported
that armed forces have already been
ordered to advance on Coto, in the
disputed area, with view to oppos-
ing possible Costa Rican occupation
of that district, the most recent Of
fetal declarations here indicate that
troops have been dispatched only to
David, a town some distance from
the boundary. It is said they have
been instructed to hold themselves
in readiness there to march toward
Coto whenever orders are received
The Panaman government, it is un-
derstood, will await further advices
from Washington before taking any
decided steps. ...

WANTS CALHOUN HIGHWAY
IN THE STATE SYSTEM
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Emphasizes Importance of Road
To City of Abbeville.

U4T. Vt. l.. OdiASo, oSSASeAS w. ~
Abbeville County Chamber of Com
merce, is sending out to persons
whom he thinks will be interested,
circular letters, emphasizing the i'm
portance to Abbeville County of the
Calhoun Highway. He says that the
coming of the highway will not
mean an increase of taxation, ex-
cept in the enhanced value Of proper
ty along the route it will follow. 1t
has always resulted that the building
of any good road increases the worth
of land and houses, makes land more
desirable because of easier COM
and makes for the i'm
provement of the entire community.
just at this time Anderson is MAX
ing an effort to have the tourists
travelling from the north to Florida
diverted by that city. When the Cal
houn highway is completed the most
direct and favorable route will pass
through Abbeville. Tourists are not
ed for the freedom with which they
spend money, and it follows that Alb
beville citizens would profit in large
degree by having them come this
way. Since Abbeville has everything
to gain and little to lose by the COM
ing of the highway, Mr.. Barnes hopes
the people will see the necessity of
exerting every effort at this time for
the completion of the road.
The letter of Mr.. Barnes follows:
: "This is to call your attention. to
one of the most vital opportunities
which has ever come to Abbeville
County. 1t is the building of the CAL
hodn Highway. The County Road
C Commissioners have authorized the
construction of this road through our
County. .>
"We Are now endeavoring to have
the State Highway Commissioners to
make this road a part of the State
Highway system, and to have the
government to make it one of the
Federal Military Post Roads, If the
State or government recognize this
road the County will not have to
maintain it.
"The prospects are very bright
now and we are keeping this highway
before both the. State and Federal
government. The expense of this cor
respondepce, letter writing. station.
cry and postage is. being taken care
of through county organizations,
known as. the Calhoun Highway AS
sociation of the county in which
the organization is located. The
membership dues are only two
dollars year and we know
that everybody will want to do their
part in putting this highway through
Abbeville County. ..,
owe want you to do your share
in this work by enrolling as a men,
Der of the Abbeville County High
way association. Il
"Please do this at once, sending US
two dollars in cash, check or money
order to cover your membership for
one year.
"We must work to improve con-
ditions in our County and every
worthy citizen will put his shoulder
to the wheel and help to do anything
for the good of Abbeville County.

ED, UNITED STATES TELLS
FOREIGN OFFICE. 80

Washington, Aug. 23.- The
American State Department in .
note forwarded to Panama yesterday
stated emphatically that the United
States would not permit any hostili-
ties growing out Of the occupation
Of the .Coto region by Costa Rica.
The, American note, it developed
today, was in response to a COM
munication from the Panama gov
ernment indicating that if Costa
Rica should attempt to re-oceupy the
disputed territory, force would be
used in resisting unless the United
States made it clear that the Ameri-
can government would prevent it.
The American reply was handed
to the Panama foreign Office yester-
day by the American minister. It
reiterated that portion of the note Of
May z, IN which the UNITED States
endeavored to make it clear to Pana-
ma that the White award must be
respected.
'In view of the fact that Hhe Uni
ted States as friendly mediator"
the American note said, after having
referred to the character Of the note
Of May 2, REGARDS as just the claims
of Costa Rica to lawful possession
Of the territory on the Pacific
awarded to her by President Loubet
it cannot, because of its special trea-
ty relations to Panama, permit a re-
newal of hostilities by Panama

FEW GATHERING
INCITY PARKS
Trolley Travel Drops OFF Con
siderably, Indicating Hun
dreds FOregO Pleasure.

A decrease Of approximately 20 per
cent in the travel over street car lines
to Fairview, Garfield, Brookside and
Riverside Parks from that of last sum
mer indicates that hundreds of working
people are not going to the public
breathing spaces this year, according
to figures obtained from the Indianapo-
lis Street Railway Company.
The Sunday afternoon travel to parks
has been one of the good sources of reye-
nue for the street railway company here
tofore, but 1t is so light this season that
practically no extra cars have been put
on James P. Tretton, superintendent of
the cOmpa. y, reported that not a single
car has been added to the regular Fair
view equipment this season and that in
spectors tell him there has been hardly
a fully loaded car making the trip clear
to the park. In former years the com
pany put on extra cars and still the
crowds going to Fairview were so large
that the overflow hung on steps and
bumpers.
The heaviest park travel is to River
side. On hot weekday nights and all
day on Sundays and holidays this line
has been one of the most profitable the
company has, but it is hit just as hard
a sthe others by the slump, Mr. Tretton
said.
Travel to Washington Park on Sun
days when the Indians are home has
been about normal. but it IS far off on
week days, the superintendent reported.
