HEARINGS URGED
ON Street REPAIRS
East Washington Citizens
Association Would
Change Methods.

A change in the method Of selecting
DR.. Charles NJ Emmons, president OF
East Washington Citizens Associa-
tion. at meeting last night in East
Washington Hall. He suggested that
the District Commissioners should
hold public hearings each year before
upon tho streets to be recon-
mended to Congress for improvement.
DR.. Emmons said he thought such =
meeting, attended by representatives
'of civic organizations, and other In
terested persons, would result In the
Commissioners getting the best pos
sible first-hand information. Under
the present arrangement. he stated.
appeals are mode to the Senate com.
mittee to have District bills amended
in order to get improvements not
recommended by the District Com
misSioners.
Lobbying II Recalled.
"Then." he said. there is an amount
Of lobbying done. I recall an In
stance of this kind which resulted IN
the erection OF school puildihs III

call more than once in three weeks
sity tor the establishment of public
comfort stations at Pennsylvania
avenue and Sth street southeast ana
other locations. DR.. Emmons said the
association had been urging the es.
.tahlishment Of such q station the past
-
said he regretted that there is NOT
such a station in Southeast Wesh-
ineton, the nearest one being IN LIN
coin Park.
Maj. Sullivan. superintendent Of po-
lice, was commended for his effort 70
obtain one day on each week lot
members of the force.
Or. EmmNls called attention to the
necessity for improving the triangu-
lar spaces in the southeast section:
He urged removal of the posts ana
fences and substitution OF stone cop
ings. In one section Of the southeast,
he said. where the space is used Tor
depositing stone and other material,
1t would be necessary to cut away the
growth Of weeds in order to md the
paving material. He thought the
weeds should be cut as q health meas
ure.
Removal Of tho government dormi-
tories from Union station plaza was
urged by DR.. Emmons.
DR.. Emmons suggested that the build
ings should be torn down without de-
lay and grass seed planted to beautify
the plaza. Mr.. Buckler did not agree
with President Emmons. He said he
thought the visitors would like to see
the buildings in order to get an idea OF
Conditions which existed during the
war. He also said the buildings would
be Of much service during the time the
city is filled with visitors.
Mr.. Donohos said he could not under
stand why the stone pavement on New
Jersey avenue in front Of the old Bal
timore and Ohio depot had not been
replaced with asphalt.
Paving Of 11th street southeast from
Pennsylvania avenue to NJ street was
urged by DR.. Emmons. Additional
improved lights are also needed In the
southeast section, he added.

Farming Under Boil Weevil
Conditions.

The Mexican Boil Weevil has
invaded our County and has estab.
lished a home for himself on nearly
every far1n,where, If not destroyed,
he will pass tho winter safely, and
will be ready early next spring to
multiply and destroy all the young
cotton squares as fast as they arc
grown. II we maintain our credit
and present prosperity, conditions
demand that we change our present
farming methods at once.
A careful study OF the habits OF
the Boil Weevil will show that he
moves once a year, and that Is In
August. Now, If we will clean up
our fields early this fall by chop
ping and turning under all cotton
stalks and burning Off all terraces,

WALHALLA, 8. @.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. Is, 1922.
A PETITION.

Elsewhere in this issue we print
a petition that has been widely sign
cd by citizens Of West Union AMI
community. There should never
have been any necessity for getting
up this petition, which is request
to the General Assembly, through
our Oconee representatives, to com
pei the Blue Ridge Railway to build
Il depot in our sister town. They de-
serve it-above all they need it; it
is an absolute necessity. The Blue
Ridge Railway should have long
since given this accommodation TO
the people Of West Uaiop without So
much as having to be asked for it,
much less without compelling these
good people to seek legtsla i've action
in order to gel that which is right
fully theirs.
The people of West Union and tho
travelling public will be given better
tions in sile near future,
or we miss our guess. They have been
patient and long-suffering, and their
appeal for a fair deal at the hands
Of the Blue Ridge is 50 manifestly
Just and reasonable that our men,
'bers of the General Assembly-and
that body as whole-cannot do
otherwise than take such action as
will tend to quickly relieve the al
most ua1eArAblc conditions HAT pre-
saii at West Union.

pest, and then, by tho use Of pro.
per farming methods, a good crop
Of grown bolls can be produced
before the Weevil commences his
annual movement in August.
AS a safe program for farming
next year to combat the Weevil we
would suggest 20 acres to the
plow, planted as follows:
Six acres to cotton, followed by
small grain in the fall.
Six acres to corn, with velvet
beans and peas planted in corn.
Six acres to small grain--twO
acres each to wheat, oats and rye.
Two acres to truck crops, con.
sisting Of Irish potatoes, syrup
cane, sweet potatoes, melons and
beans.
Prepare the ground well, plant
early, using an early-maturing va
riety Of cotton; fcrtilize liberally
and cultivate intensivcly.

Walhalla recently elected new
Mayor, and 1t Is generally conceded
that the voetrs Of our town made il
wise selection. James M. Moss. who
now holds the office, is a business
man OF considerable experience, and
it was we'll argued that at this time,
above all others, this qualiflca ton
was particularly essential in view Of
the fact that waterworks are soon TO
be put in the town, and that, incident
to the improvement and forward
step, largo financial transactions
and large expenditures Of funds will
have to be made. Hence real busl-
ness head was considered absolutely
essential. We believe Mr.. Moss will
"fll the bill'-and we say this with
out any intention of intimating that
AIR. Busch or Miss latham, his two
opponents in tho race, would not
have merited the same comment had
either OF them been the successful
candidate. AS a matter Of fact, we
believe that they would have merited
it. But that Is neither here nor there,
to use on old expression. What we
desire to say Is ip connection with
the candidacy of Miss latham, who
made the race under unauspicious
circumstances and conditions. First
of all Miss latham entered the race
too late In the game"-after many
direct pledges OF support had BEEN
made-and she lost votes in that
way. Then, too. many voters still
cling to The idea that women have no
business in politics. or with so much
as the privilege Of casting a ballot.
These were, to be sure, solidly up-
posed to Miss latham without hay-
ing any other reason upon which to
base opposition. There could be no
o'hcr good reason for opposition to
her holding any office in the gift Of
our citizens, municipal or in the
wider political field embracing our
county. We do not hesitate to say
that Miss latham would grace and
honor any Office tha' tho people Of
OcOnee may in tho future see 1T to
elect her to, il she should see flt-
and we hope she will--to enter .he
political arena at another time.
But again. this is neither here nor
there in the present. What we wish
to do is % reproduce a few pertinent
remarks made just prior to our mu-
nicipal election by people outside OF
our town and county. We have clip.
ped for this purpose the following
two comments from tho Green wood

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-CU. PD
Coast League ball magnates are not
inclined to frown on the suggestion of
a union of baseball players.
While such a union is said to be in
formation among big league players
and is causing eastern maenates Sleep
less nights, it Isn't worrying the Coast
league owners.
The players, it is said, will demand
a place ON the national commission, in
order that the rights of the players
may be more adequately protected.
The clause holding a player to a con-
tract, but giving a club the right to
break it on few days notice, will al
so be fought.
Coast League owners declare that, if
the union comes, they will try to CO.
operate with it in every way. They co
not believe such union is necessary,
particularly in minor league baseball,
but will not, it is reported, put any OBJ
stacles in the way of its formation.
