A PEST IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Kaowae Courier.
The Mexican beetle, mighty pest,
Of beans and peas, has been found
near Long Creek by the inspector Of
the Bureau of Entomology, M. H.
Atwood. Mr.. Atwood and Mr.. JEFF
fries, of the department. Of agricul-
ture, have been scouting from Birm-
ingham along the mountains to this
county and will probably go from
here to Pickens county.
The Mexican beetle multiplies at
al enormous rate ard has travelled
the distance from Birmingham to the
mountains here at a rapid rate. The
oeetle is proving disastrous to the
bean and pea crops of Birmingham
and vicinity, and at that place the
government is conducting tests on
poisoning to control the pest, all re-
medies so far proving ineffective.
The beetle has 16 black spots and
is nearly round in shape, being about
the size of potato bug. The young
are yellowish, with spines projecting
from the body. Work is done on the
Under side of the leaf. They do not
seem 20 enjoy velvet beans and Eng
lish peas. The beetle prefers the
mountainous country.

Several members Of w. C. T. U.
enjoyed call meeting Thursday,
Aug. d, at o'clock with Mrs. J. N.
Hallum as hostess. The vines and
beautiful pot flowers adding charm
to those present. Schools was the
uppermost subject for discussion, es-
pecially adult schools. We had as
our guest Miss Faith Clayton, coun-
ty organizer of adult schools. Her
talk on adult schools was very inter
esting and helpful! She has been
the main cause OF several schools
being organized> in rural school dis
tricts of Pickens county. She has
met with many discouraga,nents but
has pressed Loyalty on, being one of
the faithful few VINO never gives up.
This union heartily agreed with Miss
Clayton that it is u wise thing to Of
fer prizes for the largest number
pupils enrolled and largest average
attendance in these schools, prizes
being awarded at county cor1.ranca.
ment of adult schools. T,..is Union
is the first organization to offer one
OF these prizes. We do not think
there is more noble work than
these adult schools. It is both pa.
thetic and encouraging to see how
eager men and women of middle age
and boys and girls in their teens are
20 get the knowledge that was de.
med them when they should have
aad it, all because Of some ones lack
Of interest and willingness to reach
out and lend them helping hand.
And it is appalling to think that per-
maps because the citizens of Pickeus
fail to grasp their opportunities and
realize their responsibilities some of
our own boys and girls will be Just
as illiterate as some of our present
men and women are.
Why won't we open our eyes to
the educational advantages and
needs of our children and our neigh
boris children? That the people o.
Pickens and Pickens county will i,
the near future be awakened to ou
school advantages is the prayer O.
more than one mother in Pickens.
