does not apply when the scene of their
activities is near branch or running
stream, as they are able to enter it on
such occasions.
1t is presumed that Tom Dawkins
when he came to his death, had been
almost overcome in the field by the
heat and was making his way to the
stream nearby to seek relief, when he
collapsed on the edge of the creek and
was unable to get his body to the
water. 1t is probable that the local
case will be more fully investigated
and it is considered probable that
some medical body or magazine may
see fit to send a representative here
to interview the two living members
of the family.
Those who have known the family
of negroes all their lives say that the
parents of the three in question were
perfectly normal in every way.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1921
DESTROY COTTON STALKS NOW

The early fall destruction of cotton
stalks is the most Important single
step in any fight against the cotton
boil weevil. II has been show. time
and again that the most favorable
conditions for the boil weevil to pass
the winter successfully arc found in
those fields in which the cotton stalks,
together 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 harbor for the
pest?"
In other words will the farmer de-
stroy the weevil this fall or have the
weevil destroy his cotton next season?
The earlier the stalks arc destroyed
the fewer weevils will survive through
the winter. In infested fields it 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 survive the
winter, as they are not worn out by
long fights and the rearing of the
young as are the older weevils. For
this reason, development of weevils
in late fall must be prevented as the
first step in making the next cotton
crop.
Therefore, we should start now a
cleaning campaign such as Williams
burg county has never before witness
ed. The boil weevil is pest with a
terrible amount of fight, and to meet
this situation our farmers must de-
velop 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 quarter must be de-
stroyed. In the words of General Ne
Vile before Vurdun, "they shall not
pass"

INTEREST IN NEGRO'S CASE
Family Found to Be Toothless and
Unable to Perspire.

The Gaffney correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier says
that the attention of Oliver Oleson,
managing editor of The American
Journal of Heredity, havoing been at
tracted to the strange case of Tom
Dawkins, negro of this county, who
had no teeth, and who was unable to
perspire, Mr.. Oleson has written from
Washington asking that further in
formation be secured about Dawkins
and members of his family, explaining
that it will be of interest to the medl-
cal fraternity all over the world. The
Journals attention to the strange 10
cal case was attracted when Dawkins,
SIS years of age, was found dead on
the bank of stream few weeks ago.
The item was published at that time
in various newspapers and Mr.. Oleson,
writing his communication to South
Carolina newspaper, asserts that there
is scientific proof that a race Of ne
groes once lived in India, toothless
and unable to perspire, but that to the
best of his knowledge, no such peo-
pie had ever been found in the United
States. Following receipt Of the let
ter, local newspaper man went to
work on the case and he discovers
that Dawkins has two sisters, both Of
whom are toothless as he was. and
xsifher Of them are able to pespire.
They are described by their employees
as being splendid farm "hands" but
the two women are forced, by reason
of their inability to obtain relief from
heat through perspiration, to take
tubs of water with them when they
