Storing Boil Weevils.

That many farmers who are storing
cotton either in private or public ware
houses are storing hundreds of boil
weevils and thus insuring an adult
crop of bugs to play havoc with the
crop next year, is the statement made
to the correspondent by keen observ-
ers. Discussing the matter Wednes
day afternoon, Joe S. Riddle, well
known farmer of Bethel township,
said: 81 carried a load Of cotton from
my home to the ginnery, a distance Of
about mile, this morning. AS L was
returning home with the bale for stor-
age I noticed numerous boil weevils on
the wagon seat beside me. 1 counted
twenty-five full grown weevils, which
I picked up in my fingers and mashed
to death and am of course unable to
say how many were left to go into
storage with the bale Of cotton"

Tax Books Open November IS.

Walter T.. Duncan, the comptroller
general, with the approval of the gov
crnor, has extended the time for the
opening of the tax books for the col
lection OF state, county and school
taxes for 1922 from October Is to No
vember Is. The extension was grant
ed because of delays in getting out as
sessments of corporations by the tax
commission and because of the recent
extension of the time for paying 1921
state, county and school taxes along
with other reasons, Mr.. Duncan said.
The tax commission has been busy
with the new revenue laws and short
delays were occasioned from this
heavy work, it was announced. The
auditors were unable to get their books
ready by the 18th of this month and
as a consequence the comptroller gen.
eral thought an extension wise. Mr..
Duncans order granting the extension
is as follows: Under the provisions Of
Section 767, Volume /, code of laws of
South Carolina, /, Walter E. Duncan,
comptroller general, with the approval
of the governor, do hereby postpone
the time for opening the books for the
collection of state, county and school
taxes from the 18th day Of October to
the 18th day Of November, 1922"
Road Fund Exhausted.
Fort Mill Times, Thursday: While
the Fort Mill township road COM
mission apparently is still at work on
the roads of the township, there is
none Of the stuff which David Harum
called "go- -out-and- git-it with which,
to- fetch-it," at it's disposal in the
county treasury and the law does not
empower the commission to borrow
funds with which 20 continue opera
tions. Saturday a statement Of the
commissions finances was secured by
The Times from the county treasurer's
office which shows that on September
credit, but that since then claims in
excess Of the balance have been pre-
sented for payment which the county
treasurer has refused to approve. On
July there was in the treasury to the
credit of the commission S7S4.27, from
which claims amounting to S76S.55
have been paid There will be a small
amount placed to the credit of the
commission during the next two or
three months from past due tax COL
lections, but this sum will not be suf-
ficient to continue the work on the
roads. The commission therefore ap-
pears to be at it's rows end for some
time unless the members continue the
work at considerable financial risk to
themselves.

so popular up until the World War is

man who pointed out however that the
bag does not contain quite as much
