j. X. Brewer brings to The Herald
office concrete evidence of the de-
structive powers of the boil weevil in
the form of a cotton stalk six feet
high and well limbed which shows
only one boil of cotton. The stalk was
taken from a field near Hemingway,
S. c., which last year made a bale
to the acre. II the stalk had carried
as much fruit as it could have held it
would have been good for a yield of
more than a bale to the acre. Dillon
county's only hope is to build grain
elevators and potato curing houses
and plant enough grain and potatoes
to take the place of cotton. A quarter
OF million of dollars invested in ele-
vators and potato curing houses will
take care Of more than two million
dollars worth of grain and potatoes,
which represents the annual average
value Of the cotton crop for the past
ten years. This must be done through
CO operation between farmer, mer-
chant and banker. 1t is up to Dillon
county to take care Of herself. Other
counties are going to look out for
themselves. and If we sit down and
make no effort to combat the boil
weevil disaster is bound to overtake
us.

The Pullman company is complain
ing because it's expenses were nearly
three and half million dollars in
excess of its revenues last year. The
Pullman company got it's death blow
when foolish lawmakers levied a sur
tax Of SO per cent on Pullman fares
for the benefit of the railroads. The
result was that erstwhile Pullman pa
irons found it profitable to sit up all
night and sleep the next day, and
travel on Pullman cars diminished to
an alarming extent. But if the Pull
man company lost only three and a
half millions last year, after turning
80 pei cent of it gross revenues over
to the povefty-stricke railroads, it
would be interesting to know how
much the Pullman company made be-
fore it was required to come across
with half of its gross income?

Oak Grove.

Last Friday night meeting in the
interest of the cooperative MARKETING @
or cotton was held at Oak Grove
school building. County demonstra-
ton Agent s. w. Epps of Latta. pre-
sided and Senator P. l.. Bethea of
Minturn and w. H. Smith, president
or the Bank of Latta, made excellent
talks fully out lining and explaining
the cooperative marketing plan,
These talks were listened to with
considerable interest by a number Of
farmers present.
There is no doubt but that this Ia
the best solution of the marketing of
cotton that has ever been brought
to the attention of the cotton grower
and will enable the farmr to market
his cotton to far better advantage In
the future than any other system
that has ever been tried.
The Oak Grove school opens Mon
day October the third. The school this
year will be under the management
of j. s. Fair as principal, Miss Emma
Bass of Latta. intermediate depart
ment and Miss Margaret Calais of

The editor of the Statesville, IN.
Co. Landmark is protesting against
the use of the phrase '"cut hunting" "
claiming that the word "out" is sup
erflous. as people do not hunt in
doors. But that is where our friend
Is mistaken. A few nights ago one of
our friends hunted the house over
from garret to cellar. He pushed
tables aside, turned furniture upside
down, crawled to the top of pantrys
and closets, and swung over dusty
rafters but the bottle could not be
found. There is lots of hunting in
side the touse these days-when
madam is away. The Landmark edi-
tor lives in Western North Carolina
where such effort is not necessary.

VIL-IN TIMES OF PROS
PERITY.

What are we going to do about it?
Every man you meet will agree with
you that it will be financial suicide
t. plant a normal crop Of cotton next
year. but there the argument ends.
Dillon is an agricultural county, and
Ii we do not plant cotton we must
plant something else.
But 1t will be financial suicide to
plant other crops and not provide a
market for them. What will the county
do with surplus grain or potato
crop? If there are no elevators weevils
and bugs will destroy the grain and
if there are no potato curing houses
the potato crop will rot, and so there
you are.
But the situation, as we see it, is
In the hands of the people of the
county. They have the privilege Of
continuing to plant cotton and 70
bankrupt or plant other crops and
continue to make the lands wealth
producing
For the past ten years the gross
revenue from the county's cotton crop
has averaged 100000 per year.
Thls mas been our leading money
crop. If we are to continue to prosper
we must plant other crops that will
produce on an average of 100000
each year to take the place of the rev.
enue from cotton. But in order to do
this we must provide market for
these other crops.
1t has been estimated that it will
take 100000 to build a sufficient
number Of elevators to take care of
100000 bushels of grain which at
an average price OF 81 per bushel
would amount to little more than half
tho value Of our cotton crop. 1t is also
estimated that 100000 will build
eaoagh potato curing houses to take
care Of million bushels Of pota-
toes.

The School Lunch-The import
ance of the midday meal for the
growing child is often neglected, par
ticularly during school time 1t should
not be forgotten that as a rule, the
lunch which the child takes at school
is the big meal of the day, therefore,
should be sufficient in quantity,
wholesome and made up of the foods
required by the growing body.
Growing children need good whole
some foods because new tissue is be-
ing made, they take great deal of
exercise, and the tax of study in
creases their food requirements. They
need simple foods easily digested -
such as milk and milk products,
meats as beef. fish and chicken, veg
etables, fruits and cereals.
To summarize the planning ana
preparation of the school lunch:
1t should be planned so as to be
satisfying and nutritious, but not
heavy (heavy lunches cause sluggish
ness.)
In packing the lunch the container
is most important. 1t should be one
that is easily cleaned and properly
ventilated. Paper napkins should,
when possible, be provided. Each
sandwich should be wrapped in oiled
or paraffin paper. For carrying of
such foods as salads, ETC., small jel-
ly glasses or custard cups are very
nice. The attractiveness of the lunch
has much to do with the taste of the
food which it contains. When posi-
BILE. the ideal way is to have one hot
dish or drink to accompany the home
packed lunch. This is OF course pre-
pared at school.
The following are a few examples
of well planned lunches:
L.
Two chicken sandwiches.
Small container of potato salad.
1 apple.
1-2 pint sweet milk.
Small piece peanut brittle.
2:-
Two cheese and pimento sandwiches
Small container baked beans.
1-2 pint sweet milk.
1 piece sponge cake.
ST.
Two nut sandwiches.
Potato or mixed vegetable salad.
1-2 pint sweet milk.
cup cake.
orange.
A.
Two cottage cheese and nut sand
wiches.
Celery or cold slaw.
Baked cup custard.
Two ugar cakes.

Greek plantation.
The farmersof this section are max
ing rapid progress gathering their
cotton. The yield generally viii be
short. but the good prices have
brought better feeling to the peo-
pie.
From the present outlook the &C.
reage next year in this section will
be far below what it is this year. The
farmers realize that the boil weevil is
here and will take small risk in the
production of cotton next season.

thrust into my perfectly modern three
act play totally extraneous act in
which my hero has dream in which
his Mozartion ancestor appears and
PHILOSOPHERS at great length with the
lady, the statue and the DEVIL. We
read that marriage is the most
licentious of all human institutions
hence it's popularity. Even the Devil
is shocked. Again we read that "con-
fusion Of marriage with morality has
done more to destroy the conscience
of the human race than any other sin
error" In this interlude Mr.. Shaw
seizes on the opportunity to declaim
against not only marriage, but all ex-
listing institutions.
William Archer, an English critic
thinks that Man and Superman as
a play is primitive in invention and
second rate in execution. He says
"the most disheartening thing about
it is that it contains not one of those
scenes of really tense dramatic quail
ity which redeemed the squalor Of
"Mrs. Warren's profession" and made
of "Candida" something very like a
masterpiece.
By many critics however it is re-
garded as Shaw's most important
play. It was first produced in 1905 in
London under direction of Vedrenne
and Barker. In the acting version the
Don Juan interlude is always omitted
but has been given separately at the
Court Theater in London.
Charlton Andrews who at one time
was member of this Normal School
faculty regards "Man and Superman"
as the "most noteworthy of the plays
which attempt a more serious exposi-
ton of the Shavian philosophy"
