OUTLINE PROGRAM
TO MEET WEEVIL
Combating of Pest Serious Problem.
Group of Planters and Extension Work
ers Give Helpful Suggestions.

Some weeks ago a number of busi-
ness men Of the state realizing that
there is a crying need for well
thought out program for agricultural
procedure under boil weevil conditions
asked DR.. W. w. Long and R. 1. Man
ming to form a committee of well
qualified men to formulate such pro-
gram for the state.
These gentlemen appointed the fol-
lowing committee, which met the Co.
lumbia on September q: DR.. w. w.
Long, Wade Drake, ]. Ross Hanahon.
R. C. Hamer, j. w. CASTOR, G. w.
Duvall, DR.. w. C. Brown, r. B. Cum
ningham, B. w. Segars, R. 1. Manning
and D. r. Coker. Mr.. Coker was Sc
lected as chairman and Mr.. Cunning
ham as secretary. All were present
except Mr.. Hamer.
The opinions of every member as
to the best farming methods for boil
weevil conditions were fully expressed
and all agreed on the main features
Of a program. A subcommittee, con-
sisting of B. W. Segars, R. B. Cum
ningham, ]. w. CASTOR, DR.. w. W. Long
and D. r. Coker, was appointed to
draft the program. This committee
met IN Columbia October 5, all pres
ent except DR.. Long, who was repre-
sented by Mr.. Blackwell, and the ac-
companying program and recommen-
dations are the result Of their work.
This program in substantially its pres
ent form was submitted to all the
members Of the committee. Mr.
brakes approval of the program has
not been received and Mr.. Hamer has
withheld approval as he considers it
conflicts with the cotton associations
plan Of not more than one-fourth of
any farm being planted to cotton. The
program was submitted to meeting
Of farm demonstration agents at
Clemson college Friday, October Z,
and was discussed and approved. The
program, therefore, goes to the peo-
pie with the authority of a strong and
experienced committee and with the
o. k. of the extension department.
The suggested program follows:

Cheraw High Defeat Dillon High
Overwhelmingly.

1t did the Cheraw football fans fall
the good to see local boys put up
a snappy game last Friday which re-
suited in the showing under of the
Dillon team.
From the very start the Cheraw
boys played the game in fine style. Both
their defensive AMI offensive work
showed such improvement over former
games and was so void of fumbles and
misplays that Dillon was completely
outclassed.
It is hard matter to try to pick out
the star players Of this game as the
whole team played well.
Graham, Hal Duvall, "Heinie" Du-
vail, Causey and Marion Evans made
counting gains as did others but it
won't do to mention the whole team
separately so we stop with these.
Cheraw failed to kick goal several
times costing them several points
however the final score was As to 0
which was enough.

STATE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION


|
To The County Supt. Of Education:
Dear Sir:
Statistics for the scholastic year
1920-21 are now being compiled in the
office of State Superintendent Of Edu-
cation. These figures afford a relia-
BILE index to school problems and
school progress.
The emphasis that has been placed
on high schools and rural graded
schools during recent years is begin
ming to result in better gradation and
promotion Of pupils. A study Of these
two groups Of schools during 1880
and 1920-21 will help to indicate the
needs and tendencies Of the public
schools of your county.
Note carefully the thin upper grades
Observe also the heavy elimination
during the fifth grade. Can anything
be done to improve these conditions
during 1922? FSs
The figures relate only to enroll
ment because too much space would
be required for discussion of other
topics.
Yours respectfully,
J. E, Swearingen,
State Supt. of Education.

To satisfy the demands of fans in

could not crowd in at the newspaper

Company, in addition to providing
telegraph circuits for all the press

The company chose it's most expert

This key flashed the signals thorugh

from each of these centers a further

description Of every ball pitched, ev-

movement of the players. Hundreds
of thousands of fans seated in theatres

knew that the ball just pitched was

at the Polo Grounds could catch sight
of the signal on the great score-board

FEEBLE BLOOD WORKS HAVOC
Guides Pepto-Mangan Makes Red Blood
Liquid and Tablet Form.

When blood becomes thin and weak
tits due to falling off in teh number
of red blood cells, 1t is easily recog-
nized by pollid skin or a blemished
complexion, loss Of appetite or unnat-
ural irritability and a sensation Of
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at
first. l nfact, many people scarcely
notice it and go on for days, thinking
they will be better the next day.
The great danger is in the possibili-
ty of becoming seriously i'll from dis
ease, whic hcan work havoc in a body
that lacks the endurance and resis-
tance in rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto-Mangan are
great help. 1t improves the quality Of
the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve the
appetite, and clear the complexion.
You can get GUIDES Pepto- -Mangan
in liquid and tablet form at your drug
gist's. Get the genuine with the

Suggestions from Our Readers.

The rain brought the following sug-
gestion from a business man:
1.-THE crossings at the town hall cor
ner after every rain are in bad shape
and want to suggest that the town
to eliminate this, put down cement
covering the centers of the street
around the Go to the right" light post
and reaching up Second street as far
as the Covington Hotel and down Sec
ond street to Ladd's Drug Store, up
Market street for about 20 #. and down
Market street for the same distance.
This would keep the mud off OF the
crossing and help the looks of the
square a hundred fold"
Another business man suggests:
Call attention to auto drivers dim
ming their lights. l came near having
a serious accident because Of someone
driving meeting ME blinded me with
his high powered auto lights. 1t is
positively dangerous for ladies to drive
a car after night because of thought
less drivers failing to dim their lights.

GRAVES IN ST. DAVID'S CEMETERY
CHERAW
Near the rear of the church is the
grave of
Miss Flora McIver
Died June 7, 1886

grave OF
Miss Flora McIver
Died June 7, 1886
She was a first cousin of Judge Ed
ward McIver. She with Miss Hannah
Wilson, both young ladies of Cheraw,
together with several other prominent
people from Charleston, were killed
in the great Santee River trestle
wreck, the train falling through the
trestle while on its way from Charles
ton to Cheraw.
Just a few days before this wreck
the gauge Of the railroad had been
changed. Up to that time different
roads had different gauges and it was
decided to make all the roads stand
ard. This work was done in day and
it was thought that the wreck was
caused by the rails spreading on ac-
count of not being spiked well in the
hurried change Of gauge.

SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR FARM
ING IN SOUTH CAROLINA UN-
DER BOIL WEEVIL CON-
DJTIONS

The march of the boil weevil across
the cotton belt has been accompanied
by panic and decentralization. Farm
ers, bankers and merchants frighten-
ed by one or two years Of heavy loss
es, have In many cases, curtailed oper-
ations and credits to the point where
farming was stifled and labor was
forced to leave the country to preven
starvation. There are signs that a
similar panic may occur il parts Of
this state unless means are taken to
resssure the people and point out a
safe course for agricultural operations
end a group of practical farmers and
business men in cooperation with the
under boil weevil conditions. To this
and where proved successful should
Extension Bureau have studied the
be increased as rapidly as the people
situation in the light of their own eX-
perience and that of other states and
the accumulated experimental results
of governmental agencies and beg
leave to present the following sugges-
tions and program as one which will
meet the situation, preventing demor-
alization and enabling our farming
and business interests to continue
profitable operations.
1t is especially important to prevent
our people from stampeding into new
and untried fields of agriculture in
which they will fail for lack of infor-
nation and experience. Promising
new crops should Of course be tested
The problem is not so much as to
what to do as it is how to reassure
the people and get the information OF
how to proceed to every farmer, rem
ter, and sharecropper in the state.
This must be done il it is done at all
by the larger farmers, merchants,
bankers and professional men who
should make it their business to reach
the isolated farmers and tenants and
discuss with them the program OF
operations under boil weevil condi-
tions. The greatest responsibility
rests upon the landowners. If they
are going to continue to own their
lands they will be obliged to see to
it that those who farm them have cor
rect instruction and active supervision
until he thoroughly learns the new
methods of operation.
A few broad principles Of operation
for the whole state may be suggested:
First, Destroy Immediately all cot
ton stalks as soon as the crop is
gathered. This will prevent the hatch
Ing Of millions of new weevils during
October. The old weevils do not nj
bernate until cold weather and the
destruction of their food supply will
cause them to die before frost. The
carrying out of this suggestion at once
IA imperative and every effort should
be made to induce every farmer in II
state to do this work at once.

Editors Note:

Editors Note:
We think both of the above sugges
tions deserve the consideration of our
readers.
The paving of the corner at the town
hall would certainly add to the slightly
ness of the corner and would be a fair
start toward obtaining our ambition
to see the business streets all paved
an dit would certainly eliminate the
muddy crossing trouble.
The other suggestion with reference
to dimming automobile lights is we
think, covered by an ordinance, if not
it certainly ought to be. However, it
should not be necessary to have to re-
sort to the law to get on" people to
observe the rule Of throwing on dim
mers when meeting a Car. No one
wants to cause an accident so We beg
those driving at night to have consid-
Grafton for the other fellow.
