BOIL WEEVIL
TRAP FAKERS
Bishopyille and Lancaster De-
port Peddlers of Devices
(Hishopville Vindicator.l


Our hat is off to Chief Stewart
for having enough backbone to
move from the streets of Bishop
vile all peddlers and takers who
are trying to sell weevil extermi-
nators to the farmers who visit
Bishopville. Any man with a grain
of sense knows that such a device
as has been offered for sale here
is a fake We have no sympathy
for sensible man who will invest
in such a contraption. but we are
glad that Mr.. Stewart is willing to
use his common sense and his
authority to protect those who are
unsuspecting and too ignorant to
know better than patronize the ia
kers. The mayor of the town OF
Lancaster has run out a faker sim
liar to this. and doubtless there
are other towns who will not stand
for having their citizens fleeced out
of money in this way.
