THE BOIL WEEVIL

A majority of the farmers of thi:
county refused to heed the warning
given during the past two years with
reference to the boil weevil, despite
every effort that was made in the
county to impress upon them the fact
of his coming and the seriousness OF
his arrival. Here is paragraph from
an editorial in the Charleston News
and Courier:
"In at least half of South Carolina
at the present time the boil weevil is
causing the utmost concern to every
man who plants cotton and to every
man who does business in any way
with the man who plants cotton.
"What has happened everywhere
else fgrm Texas here is repeating it.
self in this state. The people in the
weevil's path have refused to believe
that the havoc wrought elsewhere
would be visited upon them, and they
have persisted in this attitude until
the boil weevils had not only made
their appearance in their fields but
had established themselves there in
uncounted multitudes.
"Now thattMs has happened, lit
tie earlier than was expected because
of the mildness of the past wintre
the tendercy on the part of many cot
ton growers is to become panic
stricken. That is not to be wondered
at and is what has occurred over
and over again in other places. Such
an attitude is folly. We cannot pre-
vent the boil weevil from making
great inroads into the size of the cot
ton crop in South Carolina and we
cannot prevent it from increasing the
cost of making cotton. But we can
make cotton in spite of the boil wee
vii and we can by the right sort OF
fight "cheat the weevil" out of thou
sands and tens of thousands of bales
of cotton which it will otherwise de-

The Union Revival.

Union revival services are still in
progress at the school auditorium and
large congregations are in attendance
daily to hear the Rev. DR.. Danna OF
Charleston who is conducting the
services this week.
The Rev. Dan Iverson of Charlotte,
preached his last sermon here Sunday
night and left early Monday morning

Prof. Dan Milan who has been con-
ducting the music for the revival was
obliged to leave yesterday to take up
an engagement elsewhere, from whicl,
he could not get released in order that
he might continue his work here un-
til the close of the meeting.
= During his stay here the Rev. Mr..
Iverson made host of new friends
and was largely instrumental in
bringing many new converts into the
churches. His preaching was very
good, his pleas in behalf of Christ's
kingdom were in -ynr-wd-friendsgrea
kingdom were simple and profoundly
earnest, resulting in great good to all
who hear him.
His successor here this week, Dr.
Danna, is member of the Methodist
conference and recognized as one OF
the most able and eloquent preachers
of that great body in this state. He
took charge of the meeting on Mon
day night and will continue to hold
regular services through this week
probably closing Sunday night.
The weather during the week ha;
been unusually warm, the themomete,
ranging above 100 degrees on Monday
and Tuesday. But in the face of thi:
condition large audiences have greet
ed DR.. Danna with their presence al
each service. He will be invited II

Letter From Mrs. Mccullough

Editor County Record
1t is indeed a great privilege to at
tend the short course at Winthrop
College. 1t is inspiring to see and
feel the enthusiasm here. Winthrop
stands for service to her people, train
ing them for home making. We are
varied class, ex-students, busy
housewives that toll from early morn
till Old Sol has hidden himself per-
haps for hours, and young girls who
have just begun to realize that it is
wise to acquire knowledge, also one
little old lady who can neither read
nor Write, who is attracting attention
by her great interest in everything.
Why no tmore of US seize this op-
portunity when extended? These
meetings are designed for our good.
We do not know the good our demon
stration agents are doing until we
come here and see. And again, what
fine entertainment we are enjoying!
l Just wish every one of you could
see the program, and last but not least
Just see this beautiful, magnificent
equipment, the systematic turning of
every wheel, the lovely campus and
spacious gymnasium and swimming
pool.
This is the place to educate our
daughters for the routine of life.
Promptness is the keynote. Let us
from this time on vie with each other
for this scholarship. We will have
something to say of the launching Of
the farm woman's council.
