A LETTER FROM a. B. FORTNER.
A CANDIDATE FOR THE HOUSE.

Having announced myself as a can
didate for the House Of Representa-
tives from Pickcns county, | think t
nothing but proper that should tell
my people why have entered the
race and for what stand.,
First, | wish to say that am not
III the race for any selfish purpose.
The ideals and ambition that have
brought me into this race have to dc
with the happiness and welfare OF ali
the people. am not connected di-
rcctly or indirectly with any cornor
alton nor is any class or creed or
people furnishing nc money with
which tc make my campaign, there
fore, as the campaign progresses, and
as you read and hear what | have to
say, you may know that it is real 4.
b Fortncr speaking.
In this article wish to set forth
what is in my judgment the chief
task with which the PEOPLE Of Pick
chs county and the State of Sout,
Carolina is confronted, namely; the
Improvement Of our free schools.
do not nccd to argue that the
education Of Il very large majority
of onr children is entirely too much
limited. 1t is not because our ch:l-
dron arc dull, nor is il because we

educational purposes, but because :,

colleges in the way Of bic salaries
and expensive buildings.
recently taught in Charleston,
South Carolina, and near the Citadel
which is one CT our state colleges
and as | often strcllcd around this
college and across its campus, how
many times | said to myself " .,at a
grand school, and yet half million
dollars was taken from the state
treasury to move this college to a
less desirable place. However at
tractive and desirable fine buildings
may be, we must not toNget that
brick and mortar do not make fine
schools, nor big salaries good teach
crs. One minute, please, l.r your
mind run back over what YOU know
Of the past and think with me of
some Of the greatest teachers the
world has vet known and where they
taught and for what salary, then the
point is argued.
Now, | want the expenses Of our
state institutions cut down and the
difference given to our free public
schools, thus lengthcn:ng their term
and thereby make it possible for
our boys and girls to get good edu-
cation at home. also want the com
pulsory attendance law age limit to
read sixteen years instead of four
teen, and be effective throughout the
district regardless Of distance.

.PICKENS MAY GET ANOTHER
COTTON MILL
Duke Interests Will Be Offered In
duccments to Build New Mill Here

Reliable information from New
York last week stated that the j. B
Duke interests have about perfected
plans fer building a string of cotton
mills in the South and would spend
about $50,0oO.OO0 in the project. The
mills will undoubtedly be built where
they may be reached by the Southern
Power Co. which is owned by the
Duke interests.
1t IS believed here that the town
of Pickens stands good chance to
get one Of these new mills. Certainly
Pickens is most favorable location
for such an enterprise.
Pickens can cffcr several fine loca-
tions at unusually low prices.
Our pure and plentiful water sup
ply, natural drainage and fine health
conditions would no doubt receive the
most favorable consideration.
But probably the biggest factor in
our favor is the plentiful supply Of
native white labor CT the very best
type which Pickcns county has to
cffor That the class of labor Pick
ems county has to offer is the best
in the world has been amply proved.
Pickens people would also subscribe
literally to the stock of the mill if
asked to do SO,
Another large cotton mill for Pick
ems would mean great things for the
town and entire upper section of the
county.
The Sentinel suggests that the local
chamber Cf commerce call mass
meeting CT citizens to discuss the mat
ter and bring the advantages offered
here to the attention of the Duke in
terests.
With another cotton mill, South
ern Power Co. line, railroad to Jo-
cassee, the trans-mountain highway
and good roads radiating in every
directic,:, Pickens would soon develop
into the city it ought to be. What
say you, gentle. men?

HOW BOIL WEEVIL CAN BE
POISONED

Clemson College, June 3O.-For the
purpose of summing up in convenient
tension Service regarding boil weevil
control this year, Information Card
No. 22, entitled "Boll Wecvil Control
in 1922 has been issued and may be
had upon application from the Ex-
tension Service, Clemson College, S.
c., or from the county agents.
This brief publication gives seven
points in tie matter Of control of the
wccvil, these being rc-statements of
the suggestions made from time to
time by the Extension Service. They
have to do with cultivation, picking
Of wccvils and squares, poisoning,
r!owing under stalks as early as pos
sihlc IN the fall, planting cover crops
"ftcr cotton. and practicing clean
farming to destroy boil weevil hibcr-
ration places
Advice AS to Poisoning
The advice given on the inrorma-
tion card as to poisoning IS quoted
below:
The following are the conditions
under which poisoning may be OK
pcctcd to be profit;bl ID On hrh
yielding land. % Whore wccvi in
fcstation is heavy. (c) The use of
an approved dustimg machine capable
OF covering tn, acorugc for the ap-
pllcation, according to an approved
plan, Of calcium arScnatc meeting the
government specifications. I'd Under
reasonably favorable weather condi-
tons.
Information in regard TO macht,cs
an! calcium arsonate may be obtained
from the county agents.
The only profitable results so far
secured N carefully constructed tests
by federal and stat, agencies were
secured by the use Of calcium arscn-
ate in dust form properly applied.
Poison only when the air is calm
and the plants arc mcist. using from
five to seven pounds per acre for each
application. When wcevils are album
dant when fruiting of cotton begins,
one application may be made at that
time. Use no calcium arsanatc that
has not been examined by federal or
state authorities and pronounced
satisfactory. The next application
should be made when the weevils
have puncturcd from ten to- fifteen
per cent of the squares, followed by
two additional application four days
apart. lnfcstitation counts hould be
made frequently and can be made by
any farmer who follows the simple
directions furnished upon application
The object is to keep the cotton
thoroughly busted until the wcevils
are under control. This may require
a varying number Of apnlic; ti0ns OF
roisicn, depending on the season, and
ether conditions. If wecvils should
become sufficiently numerous to sew
crcly ,njurc the young bolls, one or
two more applications late in the
season should be made.
In case Of heavy rain within twenty
four hours after dusting, the applica-
ton should be repeated Immediately.
Always a carefully selected plot Of
cotton should be left imprisoned for
comparison with the adjoining poison
ed tract. This will determine how
much the yield was increased by poi
soning.

SOUTHERN MARYLAND
ROAD LOAN BILL PASSED

ANNAPOLIS, March 31.-The 81
100000 Southern Maryland Trunk
Line Road bill was passed finally
yesterday by the senate. 1t will
force the State tax rate over the 80
cent limit set by Governor Ritchie
II the house of delegates passes It..
This declaration was made on the
senate floor later during discussion
OF another bond issue measure by
Majority Floor Leader Mcintosh and
others who opposed increasing the
tax rate. No move. however, was
made to reconsider the vote by
which the Southern Maryland Road
bill was passed.
The point was not brought out
when the 81 100000 bond issue was
under consideration. Mr.. Mcintosh
opposed it's passage on the general
ground that now was not the time
to spend money. with the State
seeking to keep down it's taxes. His
stand was futile. however. and the
bill passed, 20 to z.
