The increase in the price of cottor
noted during the past several days has
not tempted Mr.. r. j. Love, prominent
farmer living on York No. 8, to sell his
holdings. Mr.. Love, who is one OF
these farmers who raises food stuffs
at home and cotton as a surplus has
on hand now the cotton crop Of the
past three years. He is holding his
three year crop because he doesn't
have to sell. II am not holding for
any particular price," he said the other
afternoon. II may hold this years
crop also-just put it up along with
what already have on hand, you
know. l haven't seen any boil weevils
on my own crop this year although my
neighbors all around have plenty OF
them in their fields and 1 guess that
l have too Idon't know much about
the boil weevil but have an idea that
next year is about the last year we are
going to make any cotton to amount
to anything and l am pretty well con-
WINGED that it will be good thing for
the country when we do have to quit.
Lots of People Taking Serum.
The physician talked about typhoid
fever and the large number of peop:e
taking typhoid fever serum as he shot
the first dose of the stuff into Views
and Interviews arm the other after
loon I'm this country" he went on to
say, "it appears that more cases of
typhoid fever develop in August and
September than any other months of
the year. More people take the serum
in those months, than in other months
of the year During July | administered
the serum to very few people. Along
about the first Of August they began
to take the serum in large numbers
and l have had time to do little else
since that time. In some cases 1t
makes the patient pretty sick and the
first shot usually causes the most
trouble. But with most people 1t
doesn't produce any i'll effect. Sore
arms resulting from administering the
serum are caused by the use of, large
needles in puncturing the arm. Some
doctors Ike to use a large needle; but
experience has convinced me that
where n small needle is used there Is
no trouble with sore arms. If every
body would take typhoid serum at
least once every three years the num-
bcr of typhoid fever cases in the coun-
try would certainly be reduced to a
minimum"
Boil Weevi Advice.
G. p. BlankcnShip, Of Fort Mill, was
a member of the party that went into
the lower part of the state not long
ago to investigate the ravages of the
Eoll wcevil and learn what they could
as to how to protect themselves.
In conversation with Views and In
terviews Monday Mr.. Blankenship told
of talk he had with a Mr.. Awl, of
Allendalc, who this year has eighteen
hundred acres of boil wecviIs.
THE first thing that fellow said to
me was about like this" said Mr..
Blankenship:

here hunting advice, you may as well
go on back home, because although
YOU can get advice in plenty, you will

and not have sense enough to take it.
