Mr.. j. Q. Mathis handed your COZ
respondent the following card with
the request that we let it appear in
our letter this week:
"To the good people of Summerton,
Strawberry, Ridgcvillc and Fort
Moultric, | desire to sincerely thank
each and every one of you for the
many deeds of kindness, and words of
sympathy during the illness and death
of my dear wife. And especially do |
wish to publicly thank Dr.. Stulles
her attending physician, for his faith
ful and most attentive attention to
her. Yes / owe each Of you a debt of
gratitude l can never pay, but if at
any time in the future can be of ser
vice to you, call upon me and | will
obey your commands"
"Ihe fight is on" -What?, To beat
the boil wccvil, and believe me there
IS something going on in this COM
munity in the way of getting after
the "boogcr." In almost every field
you can see a bunch Of hands with
TN cups, bottles or most anything that
Will hold few thousand wecvils, and
they are being caught, and saturated
with kerosene and the match applied
to make sure they arc good and dead,
but after all this quite a lot of dam
age is being done to the crop and it
really looks as though there will be a
tremendous shortage in the cotton
crop on account of the boil wccvil
alone.
