York-That the boil weevil has at
tackled the York cotton crop in ge1-
uine earnest was the information
brought here by John R. Blair OF
Blairsville, county demonstration
agent. Mr.. Blair said the pest is ap'

terial damage resulted to the cotton

of the farmers expressed the opinion
that no great harm would be done the

the weevil this early and in consider
able numbers would seem to indicate
that theis belief was not we'll found

Mr.. Blair, who spends two days
here every month to give farmers the
benefit OF his advice, discussed the
situation with quite a number OF
planters and advocated energetic
measures to stem the weevil attack.
Though counseling them against be-
coming panicy, he told them not 10
urder-rate the weevil monaco and not
TO wait until the pest had gained
headway before resorting to methods
of attack. The most important STEP
iust now, he thought, was the satner-'
ing and destroying Of the punctured

size of the next generation OF tho

BIG DEATH TOLL
IN NINE BATTLE
SCORES OF NON-UNlON MINERS
VIRTUALLY MAssAcRED BY
MosS OF STRIKERS.
COUNTY IS OuTWARDLY CALM
All But Three Victims Imported Work
ers; Some lynched, Some Burned
and Majority Shot Down.

Ferrin, Ills. - The death toll in the
disaster, when 5000 striking union
miners attacked the Lester strip mine,
being operated under a guard of i'm
ported workers, may run past the forty
mark, it was said by those in touch
with the situation, although thus far
only 27 positively are known to be
dead.
In the Herrin hospital are eight
wou.ded men, only one miner, and
six of them are believed to be fatally
injured. There were nine, but one
d.ed
A miner told the Associated Press
correspondent that he had seen Is
bodies thrown into a pond with rocks
around their necks. About 20 import
ed miners are missing.
Checking up the death list has prov
ed almost impossible The victims all
but three Of them imported workers,
so far as known, were found seat
tered over an area within several
miles of the mine Some were lynch
ed, some were burned when the mine
was fired, others were beaten to death
and the majority fell before the score
Of bullets poured into them.
Bloody Williamson" county, so
called because OF several riots, was
outwardly calm. but there was a no.
ticeable undercurrent which kept ev-
erybody on edge and wondering il fur
ther trouble might be expected
The correspondent talked with
scores Of miners and about half OF
them were certain there would be no
further disorder If there was no at
tempt to reopen the mines, while the
other half said they were afraid some
Of the men might not be held back.
Officially. the situation was reported
by county officials to be quiet.
The scenes Of death were very
gruesome, as in real war.
Bodies, many with limbs shot away,
lay along the roadside or were swung
from trees, men wounded and dying
were stretched out on the roads and
in the fields. with none Of the hun
dreds of passers-by able to lend a
hand. Attempts to assist the wound
ed in the early part Of the day
brought rebuffs from the spectators,
backed in some cases by drawn guns.
Later the feeling quieted down and

hospitals.
1t is understood that there will be
no attempt to reopen any Of the mines
until the strike is settled. When the
attackers went over the top in the be-
seiged mine there were some fifty or
sixty workers and guards there. What
has become of those not in the known
dead and wounded list can not be said.
Some OF them were seen in fields rum
ming, with miner sympathizers pursu-
ing them with guns. How many es-
capped could not be told. c. X. Nc
Dowell, superintendent OF the import
ed workers at the mine, was among the
dead 1t was said he was the first to
be shot after the mine was captured
and that he was given no opportunity
to escape.
Hundreds OF men, women and little
children, some as young as four years
old surged through the moEgue to
view the bodies, which lay side by
side on the floor, with no attempt to
straighten them out Most OF them
bore no Identification marks. All were
mangeld.

To Northern Marts.

Bamberg. - Thousands OF crates OF
cucumbers, beans and asparagus have
been shipped from Bamberg this year.
While the cucumber prices have been
disappointing, the association has re-
ceived tn assurance OF the produce
merchants Of northern receiving points
that the Bamberg product has been
we'll graded and well packed and the
reputation will be OF vast benefit to
this county in the future.
The glut Of the cucumber market
lust at the time when shipping was
heaviest from Bamberg resulted dis
astrously to the cucumber growers
here and this is accounted for largely
because of the great increase in acre
age this year in this particular section
where cucumbers are shipped at the
same time. The truck association has
decided to enter into a larger field or
usefulness, and Col w. A. klauber.
the president, is preparing list OF
farmers who are agreeing to grow
specified acreage in Bermuda onions,
beets, peas, lettuce aid carrots during
the coming winter. The acreage Is
usually small, so that in the event the
crop does not turn out we'll the loss
will not fall heavily on anyone. These
various crops are very promising and
have proven very profitable in years
mast With the exception OF peas and
lettuce, the crops above named are
not perishable and there is no reason
why excellent prices cannot be COM
manded These being winter crops
practically no time will be taken from
the usual farm work and sales Will
come in at a very convenient season.
