Sharon, May 25-Page Mr.. Boil
Weevil. He has emerged from his
winter quarters in this section and is
to be found on young cotton plants
almost anywhere in the community.
w. p. Youngblood, rural letter carrier
out of this town has recently brought
into Sharon number of boil weevils
taken off young cotton plants by
farmers living along his route. The
! farmers do not have TO search dill
gently to find them either; on'' the
contrary there seems to be plenty of
them. Judging from the appearance
OF specimens brought here, they have
a rather hard time surviving the win
ter. Those specimens received here
from surrounding fields are rather
emaciated looking and are quite small.
Still they are healthy and hardy and
while inclined to play dead like an
o'possum when picked up in the hands,
at the same time they are very much
alive. The farmers are not unduly
alarmed. They had been expecting
them and they are determined to go
| ahead and do the best that they can
do toward exterminating them.
Prof. SheaIy Will Return.
Prof j. w. Shealy of Leesyille,
Lexington county who for the past
two years has been superintendent of
Sharon High school and who was re-
elected at the close of the school term
few days ago will return here 1t is
understood. Prof. Shealy was re-
elected with the under standing that
he select his own teaching corps for
recommendation to the board Of trus-
tees. He has not yet selected his as
sistants. Sharon will have a much
larger and more complete school an
other year due to the fact that an
eleventh grade will be added.
Broad River Roads.
Almost daily rains of the past week
or ten days have somewhat retarded
Broad River townships road building
programme, although Overseer j. r.
Gambrell and his assistants are maxi
ing fair progress and are building good
roads while at 1t. Information is that
construction work on the link of the
new West road from Hickory Grove
to Bullock's Creek is also progressing
satisfactorily. a
Behind With Corn Planting.
That there is less corn planted in
this section just at this time than has
been the case at this season in years
is the statement of a number Of well
informed observers. Most of the
farmers thrown behind in their work
because of so much rain have made
effort to get their cotton seed in the
ground first, deciding that it was bet
ter for corn to wait. Now that prac-
tically all the cotton has been planted
and good stands have been secured in
most instances practically all of the
farmers are making strenuous efforts
to plant corn. -'l.-.:.
Little Child Dies.
The two year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Maloney OF Sharon died
Tuesday following brief illness with
colitis. Interment was In the cemetery
at Sharon A. r. p. church on Wednes-
day, funeral services being conducted
by Rev. E. b. Hunter.
No Consolidation. I,SinA
1t was stated here today that there
is little prospect of n consolidation
of Bullock's Creek, Blairsville and
Shady Grove schools in Bullocks
Creek township as had been reported.
While a number of patrons OF the
three schools favor such a move, II is
said that it would be almost impossi-
BILE for them to agree on a site for
consolidated school, Besides, the roads
of the township are in such condition
that it would be impossible to carry
the children to a consolidated school
in an automobile truck daily. Some
of the roads get in such shape after
heavy rain that 1t is we'll nigh i'm
possible for a wagon to travel oyer
them, much less an automobile. That
Bullock's Creek township must i'm
prove her roads very much before it
will be practicable to consolidate the
schools seems to be the opinion of a
majority of the people of that town.
