hoLL.wEEvIL IN COUNTY.
Insect Said TO Have Reached Fort
Mill Township.

Has the boil weevil reached
Fort Mill townships CT. Crook,
who has observed the work of
the weeyil in both the lower Sec
ton of South Carolina and in
Georgia, is confident that it is
established on the farm of s. A..
Epps in the Gold Hill section of
the township. Several days ago
Mr.. Crook was requested to ex-
anime number Of cotton squares
that had fallen to the ground ON
Mr.. Epps farm and he said they
had undoubtedly beena attacked
by the weevil. Others who ex-
amined the squares and claimed
to be familiar with the method of
attack of the weevil, however,
did not agree with Mr.. Crook.
But whether the weevil has vet
reached Fort Mill township. it's
advent in the community would
seem to be near at hand, for it is
reported closing in on the terri
tory surrounding Rock Hill. Re-
ports from Landsford and Fort
Lawn, in Chester county, say
that the insect is doing great
damage in those neighborhoods.
IL has also been found in force
around Smiths Turnout, in York
county, a few miles south of Rock
ltiil. 1t was stated in Rock Hill
Monday that the weevil had ap-
peared near Harmony church and
Wylie's mill and in sections even
nearer the city.

American city which is built aver
a coal mine, or rather seriessof

The present fame and futuTSs
prosperity of Scranton, a hust-A

coal industry. From a country
hamlet 90 years ago Scranton has
become the third largest city in
pennsylvania and ranks first
among the coal mining cities of
the world.
Beneath the business blocks
ard dwellings of the city each
day the picks and the cutting
machines are digging deeper into
the black power producer which
has brought so much wealth to
the community.
10 the casual visitor to Scran-
ton 1t may seem alarming to real
lze that underneath the streets of
the city there is labyrinth of
shafts and tunnels forming an
underground city consisting of
rooms connected by an endless
series of subways and to know
that the very life Of the inhabi-
tants is dependent upon the
strength of the supports which
are left standing.
On the other hand going to
work would seem to be simple
instead of nerve-wracking, en-
ergy-consuming trip The work

These mines have produced since
their discovery over ll5 million
tons OF coal. More coal is mined
annually in Scranton and the
Scranton coal basin has produced
larger volume of coal than any
other city in the world.
Long before New York city
had even dreamed of subway
system, the city of Scranton was
well supplied with many miles of
underground tunneling.

Calvin's Grave Revealed.

Leaders of Protestant churches
throughout Europe are showing
lively interest in the announce.
ment that the burial place Of
John Clavin, the Swiss divine
and -refOrmer, has been revealed
after having been unknown for
357 years. Calvin died in 1864
and was buried somewhere in the
Plains-Palais cemetery, Geneva,
but no stone has marked the
spot. According to the legend,
he was buried secretly from fear
that his grave would be desc
Grated. ...
knowledge of the location of
the grave is said to have been
held by one family for more than
three and a half centuries. The
secret is said to have been hand.
ed down from father to son for
ell these generations. Disclosure
at this time is accounted for by
tlfe statement that the last holder
of the secret, Eugene de Speyr,
has no descendant and being II
years old, decided to reveal the
site of the grave to the Council
of the Protestant Church in
Geneva. ..

l6 and Ia years old, respectively,
sons OF G. L. Capps, former citi-

Meckienburg county, few miles
north of Fort Mill, Monday af-
ternoon rode into town OH their
bicycles after completing all but
a few miles of the long trip from
their home in jacksonville, Fla,
to the home of their uncle, r. N.
Capps. They consumed about a
week in covering the 400 miles.
Much of the road they had to
travel in Georgia and lower South
Carolina was hard to pedal over,
they said, because of the deep
sand and mud in other places,
but on the whole they found the
trip enjoyable and met with a
number OF interesting experien-
ces. Both are members Of a troop
OF Jacksonville Boy Scouts. .Af-
ter spending fortnight with
their uncle, the boys expect to
return to Jacksonville on their

Hand in Hand.

Business success and advertising
go hand in hand, says the Cul-
peper (Ya.) Star. The best way
to judge the business enterprise
of any community is by the size
and frequency OF the ads, in the
local paper. All readers are
strangers until they buy. The
business visitor to Culpeper is q
stranger until he buys a few
meals; and the permanent resi-.
dent is very much stranger
at the store he has never been
invited to patronize. The large,
attractive display advertisement
holds attention and arouses re-
spect and confidence. 1t cries
out: Low costs, low overhead,
low selling prices, quality goods. J"
1t dominates the page, OF course,
just as the mansion of many
rooms looms up larger than the
shack. All advertisements are
.read--big and little. Everybody
knows that, and the statement
calls for no argument. But the
merchant who is seeking real
business success, and who wants
TO advertise the best way and to
get the most for his money, is the
one who realizes that the larger
the advertisement the greater its
pulling power.

DISCUSSES DOC DAYS.
Dutch Weather Prophet Says
Season Ends on August II.

Once year, as sure as each
summer comes, the subject Of
dog days attracts more or less at
teption. w. p. Houseal, the
dutch Weather Prophet" of
Columbia says the real day upon
which dog days start is July 3
and that the end of this season
comes on August IL. Here is
what Mr.. Houseal gave the press
for publication on the subject a
few days ago. q
'Eevery dog has his day is a
trite old saying, but everybody
has dog days, according to the an
cient Greeks and Romans and
even Babylonians. According to
these ancients the period when
everybody is experiencing the
baneful influences of dog days is
now upon us and has been since
july 3. The middle of dog days is
july %, so the period runs from
July 3 to August IL. Some of the
'ancients estimated 54 days as the
entire period of dog days, but we
might just as well settle this
much vexed question once for all
and agree that the period begins
July 3 and ends August IL and
thus have an end to the discus
sion. 1t is just as well to have it
so as to say that dog days have
such varied dates to begin thai a
babel of confusion is created and
cannot be satisfied.
"The idea Of having dog days
is connected with the rising of
the dog star, Sirius, and the an
clients believed that all the hot,
sultry weather and accompany
ing diseases were caused by the
appearance of this beautiful star
upon the horizon incidental with
the rising of the sun. So they
fixed the time 20 days before and
20 days after the heliacai rising
of Sirius, which day is July 23.
Thus we arrive at July 8 as Nthe
beginning of dog days.
The coming Of dog days does not
necessarily mean that rain will
occur during this entire period.
Some very dry and droughty
dog days have prevailed and dogs
have hydrophobia at all seasons
OF the year even if Pliny, the Ro-
man historian, does say that dogs
go mad only during their special
days. However, the Romans
knew many practical things about
the weather, one of which is the
three day change of the currents.
which is good meteorology today.
'Our grandparents-and even
parents. of some of us-prohibit-
ed their children from bathing in
the old familiar wash hole dur
ing dog days, but if any direful
sickness resulted during that pc,
riod it could have been easily
traced to some other cause

READY TO BUILD BRIDGE.
York Officials Adopt Plans for
Structure Across Catawba.

eSe4 00ss4V <A0AOoo Sdst6 w O6s
Plans for the steel bridge to be
built across the Catawba river at
the Buster Boyd site by York and
Meeklenburg counties, IL miles
north Of Fort Mill, were adopted
by the York county board of
commissioners at a special meet
ing OF the board in York last
Friday. 1t was announced that
copies of the plans for the bridge
had also been placed in the hands
of the Mecklenburg authorities
and they were expected to take
similar action within the next
few days. 1t also was stated at
the meeting in York Friday that
q joint meeting of the two coun-
ty boards would be held in Char
lotte early in August, when bids
for the construction of the bridge
will be opened.
The cost of the bridge will be
kept within the $4,000 appro-
priated by the two counties for
the main structure and its ap-
proaches. According to the plans
agreed upon by the York COM
missioners the bridge will be
1878 feet long and will consist
of ten spans. One span over. the
main channel of. the river will be
301 feet long. 1t is to have seven.
spans each 126 feet long and two
spans so feet long.
The substructure is to be of
concrete and instead of the ordi-
nary plank flooring for the
bridge proper, the plank will be
covered with asphalt. 1t will be
a double track bridge. Iu ap-
pearance the bridge will be sim
liar to the one which spans the
(atawba between Fort Mill and
Rock Hill.
Just how long it will take to
complete the bridge is matter
of conjecture. The York county
engineer, w. w. Miller, estimates
however, that six months will be
required to complete the struct-
ure. The time limit will be placed
in the contract when it is let at
the office of the Mecklenburg au-
thorities in Charlotte in August.
Nothing stands in the way now
Of the beginning of construction
work except the letting of the
contract. The plans have been
approved by the officials Of the
two counties, the money for the
tow counties, the money for the
building of the bridge is availa-
BILE and the site is satisfactory to
all parties concerned.
