FOR A WOMAN'S BUILDING
AT STATE FAIR

Columbia, July 16.-Mrs. Wilson
q. Harvey, wife of the Governor of
South Carolina, State Chairman for
the Woman's Building Committee for
Greater State Fair" is sending this
message to the women of the state
asking for their cooperation. Mrs,
Harvey says:
South Carolina is rapidly taking
her place among the progressive
states in this country and in SO do
ing there Is a realization of the neces-
sity Of Greater State Fair, where
her people can meet annually from all
sections of the state and have shown
to them the varied accomplishments
and industries of her men and women
and also have brought to their minds
the knowledge of the wonderful re-
sources of their state.
I'm order to realize this the plan
calls for the proper up-to-date equip
ment, in buildings etc., where the ex-
hlbits may be properly housed and
shown to the best advantage. Those
women who have yearly sent their
work to the State Fair have always
felt the need of such building and
the club women have long wanted a
State Woman's Club Building. The
time has now arrived when each of us
may have that which we want if we
are willing to assist.
"A splendid Woman's Building is
to be placed on the Fair Grounds
which will meet the needs of our vari-
ed interests, permanent building
provided with the proper and suffici-
ent space for all classes of woman's
work during Fair week, and also pro-
vision will be made in the building for
convention hall, rest rooms and ev.
erything needed for the comfort, con.
Venience and use of our women fo1
all time. Meetings and conventions
may be held of the many clubs and or.
ganizations-in other Words n bn;,d;no

proud of.

Ject IN view there will be no difficulty
IN arousing our women to the need OF

country, for is it not the voters that
send men and women to office. Wom.
en- we should all vote and vote for the
best. Vote to free this country OF
thieves and money grabbers. It lies in
our power to do so.
How many women of South Caro-
lima will say that they want this coun-
try to remain in this sad condition
that it is in now? Not one will say
that, but we will say that if we re-
fuse to vote to help ourselves. Wom-
en-, this country will not become any
better off until we make it so, then
why not begin political reform by
sending men and women to office that
have the courage and ability to stand
by the people of our country. Men
and women who will not allow them
selves to be influenced by flattery
and who money cannot buy. Men and
women that will give an ear to the
cries of the poor and will provide for
the needs of little children. What we
need is officers that will stand for
what is right and just to all. Women,
will we serve our country in this hour
OF need or are we going to stand by
and show by our actions that we do
not love and appreciate our homes and
country? We serve those that we
love; II we love our country will we
not vote and vote for what we think
will be best for all concerned.

1orce OF eXperimenters and host of
other farmers in this section to the
erect that applications of the molasses
mixture applied for the first time from
May I'd on up to June IL and even
later upon cotton which was at the
time badly infested with weevils re-
suited in the prompt and practically
total destruction of the weevils.
1t is hardly reasonable to suppose
that the weevils chose the particular
date of May "a to disappear from the
field of Ex-Governor Manning, May 80
from the fields of Mr.. Goodson and
June II from our own fields (these
being dates upon which these three
parties made the first application of
poison.).
II seems to me no less foolhardy to
do nothing to control the boil weevil
until squares have formed on the
plants and of course some of them
beer o'nctured by the old weevils. 1t
is perfectly feasible as stated by the
Clemson authority to kill these ear
ly weevil by application of arsenical
poison. Why is it not equally feasible
to keep on killing Them for a period
of 30 days when method which will
certainly do this is offered at cost
OF about 20 cents per acre per aprlica-
tlon for materials, or say 81 Per acre
to complete the job. The experience
of many in this section shows that it
is perfectly feasible to do THIS
VERY THING.
we are not going to get perfect
boil weevil control anywhere this sea-
son because in no section have all the
farmers poisoned their crops and pick
ed up squares, nor will we probably
| get weevil control to the highest de-
| gree in any season, even in sections
where the molasses poison is used in
time and frequently, unless the farm
ers are vigllant in finding the spots
| where the few weevils who have prob
ably escaped the poison are laying in
the squares.
hrmly believe, however, that when
every farmer in the state poisons his
cotton before squares are formed and
continues this treatment often enough
to keep the poison on the cotton until
the last of June and where he contin
ues vigilant in detecting and picking
the few punctured squares that the oc-
casional imprisoned weevil will Law,
we will have a method of control
which will protect the whole cotton
crop until late in the season and allow
normal crops of early planted early
varieties to mature.
In order to secure the universal
adoption of an agricultural practice
1T is only necessary to convince all the
farmers that the practice is profitable.
The use of the Williamson plan of cul-
tlVatlng corn very quickly became uni
versal in this section because it's bene-
fits were so manifest that even the

coiffure decorations descended upon us
from other races and other lands They
were not At companions of the daring
and we'll nigh insolent things invented
for the hair this season: one might say
they were too feminine for the majority
of evening costumes and the spirit which
women show in their dress. True, the
garland of roses which accompanies the
Second Empire frocks is the essence Of
femininity, but it is the exception.
When women fan themselves with vul-
ture feathers 1t is easy to realize that
frilled boudoir caps have no place In the
picture.
The Fight Between Fans.
The Importance attached to fans for
evening keeps pace with the attention
given to the headdress. The ostrich kind
is not actually out of fashion. in fact II is
more in evidence than the dealers thought
it would be. In the beginning of the
season it appeared at smart places, but
as the winter grew older society took up
these newer Amazonian fans fashioned
from the long feathers Of the vulture ;
later 1t saw beauty in whatever was
capricious and of extraordinary size.
Lace fans made from great widths OF

spicuous by fringes of uncurled ostrich

usually roses. So strenuous imagination
at work upon fans put the plumage of
the ostrich in the background; to-day
1t is considered something that belongs
to yesterday.
Suddenly among these Gargantuan
zephyr stirrers there came a tiny Span
ish fan. the kind that Lenore Uric uses
to catch the attention of the audience
in "Kiki" and never fails. 1t Is the type
that is thrust into the top of the low
bodice after an ancient fashion. 1t is
