"If the people Of Dillon county sx-
pect to beat the boil weevil next
year." remarked Mr.. J. b. McCutch-
con. they must go to work. Experts
have told us that the only way to beat
the weevil IL to clean off the fields "a
soon as the crop Is gathered. 1t has
been the experience Of farmers in
weevil infested sections that clean
fields will make fairly good crop
OF cotton under boil weevil conditions.
The crop in Dillon county is SO short
that all the cotton will be picked in
a week or two, and with the ideal
weather we are having the Dillon
county farmer has q fine chance to
get ahead Of the weevil another year.
Hard work and plenty Of It will en-
able us to make fairly good crop
next year. Now is the time to get
busy"

Coming Out Of the wilderness.

Barnwell People.
1t is a little hard these days to
know just exactly where we are
at" Four years ago we were solemn
iy warned of the coming Of the boil
weevil, but nobody really believed
that the warning was all wool, a yard
wide. We didn't fence our lands for
stock raising. We didn't diversity
our crops. We just stuck to cotton.
In way some Of US dabbled a little
with velvet beans. AS the cotton crop
was materially shortened, we didn't
pay much attention to peanuts as a
substitute crop. We are not only
convinced that the boil weevil can
do us damage. but we know the
Weevil has just about wiped this
years labor off the books and left
us nothing to pay our fertilizer ac-
counts and taxes. On every hand
there are lamentations.
Some things ought to be remem-
bered. One of which is that the far
mers, merchants and bankers who
are in distress this fall have gone in
to it with their eyes wide open and
ears ringing with warnings. They
cannot hold anyone to account for
failure to warn them. They banked
their Judgment against the weevil
and the weevil has left them their
judgment; while he takes the cotton.
Another fact that ought to be re-
membered is that if the margin be-
tween success and failure was 80
small with us that after unexampled
prosperity for four years, one years
losses can bring us next door to the
poor house and allow us to put off
the family doctor and the church
with twenty-five cents or some small
offering. it shows us the wisdom of
getting on safer basis than cotton.
III the boil weevil has been a blessing
to the other folks he has visited. let
us hope that we may be as apt to
learn our lesson as they learned
theirs.
Another fact can be noted, and
that is 1t will pay to keep a good
watch over the average calamity
howler. AS rule he is bowling and
doing nothing else to remedy his
situation. On the other hand the man
who Is hit just as hard is already
looking ahead to find something to
take the place Of cotton as money
crop. He isn't stopping every passer-
by to ask him what to plant. He is
already trying little Of this or that
until he comes out Of the wilderness.
He isn't putting all of his eggs in one
basket. but he is getting a plenty
or baskets to hold his eggs. This
sort OF farmer isn't expecting much
nelp from politics. or legislation, but
ne will get up early and go to bed
late. He will eat his own home raised
food, and plow home raised stock.
He will be able to get what money
he needs from the bank, and in a
very few years will rise up and call
the weevil blessing to him.

SECRETARY COMPILING
PREMIUM LIST FOR THE
CARTER COUNTY FAIR

The premium list for the sixth annual
Carter County Free Fair is now being
compiled by Secretary John w. Simp.
kins, and the offerings in every depart
ment will receive a substantial increase
over last years list
Besides the premiums in cash offer
ed by the association, several special
prizes will be offered by merchants of
the city In various departments. A. C.
Holman will give 65 barrel galvanizei
iron water tank for the best 100 ears
of corn exhibited Mr.. Holman has dc
mated a similar prize every year since
the fair was established.
Charles Stewart, Broadway mer-
chant, has donated three premiums to
the gir.s club department to be fixed
by Mrs. Minnie h. Church county home
demonstrator, and others will be ask
ed to name some substantial gift IN
other departments.
1T is pretty early in the season to
begin making predictions" said Mr..
Simpkins, but l hope to make the 9th
annual fair the best ever held in Car
ter county, and l will succeed, with
the cooperation now being given by
the officers and directors and the boys
and girls clubs Of the county, to say
nothing of what the farmers generally
will do"
1t Is the intention of the secretary to
have the premium list in the hand,
OF the farmers of Carter county not
later than the first of June in order to
give them time to study each depart.
ment and prepare their stuff for ex-
hibition in September. This plan was de-
cided upon by the officers at their last
regular meeting, as the premium list
in years past has been delayed too lons
for many farmers to decide just what to
enter at the fair.
The racing program is going to be n
feature OF this years show and an at.
tractive program is being prepared by
Sam Baird who will have charge OF
this division.
