essary on the other roads OF the

grade and topsoil some OF these
roads, if but a mile or two each year.
At any rate we have an invest
ment of nearly a half million dollars
in good roads in this county. The in
vestment will be on it's way to the
Atlantic Ocean pretty shortly if we
do not take proper care of it. 1t
might be worth while to have the
ideas of the legislative candidates on
the subject when the time is ripe for
discussion. What are their views
about the upkeep of these. roads?
and how would they keep them in
proper repair? We imagine the vot-
srs will be interested in the stand of
the candidates on these questions.
At least the candidates may well con-
slider them.

A TIME TO FIGHT.

The boil weevil is commencing his
work in the cotton fields in earnest.
The time has come for the farmer
to fight if he would make a crop of
cotton. All advisers agree that the
rapid cultivation of the crop at this
season is one of the surest ways of
getting results. The cotton should be
ploughed once each week, at least,
and preferably twice each week. This
not only hastens the crop to maturi-
ty, but numerous boil weevils are
knocked from the stalks, covered up
and killed, while the p%unctured
squares, the breeding places of the
young weevils r covered up and
destroyed.
Now is the time too to apply poi
son. 1t should be applied freely and
frequently. The Department Of Agri-
culture recommends that three ap-
|plications be made, one every four
days. In that way you strike at the
old weevil on the stalk and in turn
at the new weevils as they hatch
from the punctured squares. You may
not get every weevil, but following
this plan, the weevils r not allowed
to remain in sufficient numbers to
do much harm, at least that is the
chain.
But whatever is to be done must
be done this month and the next. The
farmer who is idle, who is not wide
awake to the situation, and who does
not utilize every known means OF
fighting the pest will not grow cot
ton this year.

Expect Great Crowds For Game.

The biggest crowds of the season
are expected to attend the baseball
games here Monday and Tuesday al
ternoon between Greenwood and ADJ

Abbeville have added to the excite
ment and fans are eagerly awaiting
the outcome of the games tomorrow
and next day. Anderson and Green
wood are now tied for top place and
the Greenwood club is determined to
forge ahead. Fans declare that indi-
cations point to the best games yet
played during the next two days.

THE CAROLINA LEAGUE

The games of baseball between the
teams of the Carolina League have
not been as we'll patronized here as
should be the case, considering the
class of baseball team is playing.
The reason is that the games have
not been properly advertised. This
the management now sees and those
in charge promise that hereafter due
advertisement will be given of all
games. This will be of benefit in Sc
curing q better attendance and will
serve other ends.
And one of the needs to be served
will be the repaying Of the proprie-
tors Of the business houses for clos
ing during these games. The bust
ness people of the city desire to
promote the welfare of the ball team,
but they cannot be expected to close
their places of business when Gus
toners are coming from a distance
to do business with them. If prop.
er advertisement of the games were
given along with notice that the bus
mess houses will close at a certain
hour on designated days people in
the country would arrange to dc
their trading on other days, OF al
convenient hours. It would perhaps
be a good idea to have the stores
open for a half hour after each
game, as this would give the people
an opportunity to do their trading
if anybody overlooked the adver-
tisement.
We repeat that the people here
should support the team which the
management has gotten together
The young men are all deserving and
they are doing their best to advertise
the city, as well as to give US amuse.

Investigation have gone, are building
as good roads of their kind as have
been built in any of the counties. In
fact we believe that the roads built
in this county are better than the
topsoil roads in the other counties
where WI have been.
But the most ardent advocate of
topsoil roads now sees, if he has not
known all the while, that these roads
will remain good and serviceable only
when they are properly worked. A
good while ago we stated that if the
roads were built it would be neces-
sary to divide them into sections, and
that these sections be let out to con-
tractors, or worked by crews en-
ployed by the county. Everybody
sees now that some arrangement of
this kind must be made in order to
preserve the roads.
1t is estimated that it will take,
one year with another, two hundred
dollars per mile to keep the roads
we'll topsoiled, drained and in first
class shape. There will be something
like one hundred and twenty-five
mics of these roads when the work
is completed. Of these some twenty
five miles will be looked after by
the state, leaving one hundred miles
to be kept up by the county. This
will require the annual expenditure
of about twenty thousand dollars, OF
about three mills per annum in the
way of taxation on the property OF
the county.
We favor the levying of this tax
until the roads have been fully test.
ed. If the county road gangs r put
on these roads without men of ex'
p%erience in charge of the workers
the roads will not be properly carec
for. W. favor the continuance of the
Highway Commission indefinitely, anc
that this commission be given au'
thority to receive and expend the
money appropriated for the upkeeI
of these roads. There will be plent!
of work for the County Supervisor
to do elsewhere, and being relieved
of the care of these roads he SHOULD
be able on an appropriation of three
additional mills to do the work nee.
