Paris, Dec. 30.-France has
made an intensive study of the

WEEVILS LIVE IN ,ICE!
Yes. But it Doesn't Mean Anything
in Their Control.

Clemson College, Jan. 23.-ls it
true that the boil weevil has been
placed between two blocks of ice
and was alive after all the ice had
melted? This is a question asked
frequently of Prof. A. F. Conrad, en-
tomologist, and authority on boil wee
vii matters Prof. Conradi's answer
to a recent inquirer should be of in
terest and information to all, as it
throws real light on the matter.
The Answer.
That is very likely true. Another
fad is to bore a hole in a block OF
ice in which boil weevil is then
Theoretically sealed for twenty-four
hours. Why should the experiment
tor be surprised that the beetle is
still alive? Melting ice has a tenn
perature of approximately 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, and a boil weevil sealed
within or between ice experiences no
radiation or evaporation and is there
fore not in the least affected by
weather changes.
Partridges, rabbits, and other
small game frequently seek shelter
under the snow in cold winter wealth
er. Ice foes and snow drifts are
not infrequently resorted to by man
in the North for temporary shelter
in cold stormy weather.
We have successfully kept weevils
and other insects in brine chambers
and ice boxes under dry atmospheric
conditions, but we have never sue
ceeded in keeping them for prolong-
ed periods in ice boxes unprotected
against moisture. The weevil, like
people, responds much more easily
to radical changes in cold weather
than to uniform conditions that OBJ
tain in an ice box.
No Practical Bearing on Weevil
Control.
Putting the weevil in block OF
ice is more than twenty years old.
It was done in Texas when the weevil
first arrived, and as the weevil mi
grated eastward, this practice con-
tinued to be one of the fads in newly
infested territory year after year.
The test has no practical value
whatever, as there is no semblance
TO the natural changeable conditions
that obtain in the open.

First National Bank
Increases Its Capital

At the annual meeting of the
stockholders and directors of the
First National Bank, of Bamberg,
held recently in the banking rooms
of the institution, the affairs of the
bank were shown to be in a most
satisfactory condition. The First
National is the county's youngest f.
nancial institution, and right husky
youngster it is. Since the last an
nual meeting of the stockh olders,
the bank has taken over the banking
house and business of the Peoples
Bank of Bamberg.
The most important business to
be transacted at the annual meeting
was increasing the capital stock of
the bank from $4,000 to s45,000.
Tuesday the bank certified to the ma
tional banking system paid in
capital of $4,000, and surplus
fund of $3.50, a total of s51,550
capital and surplus.
The stockholders elected the same
board of directors for the ensuing
year, as follows: DR.. J. B. Black,
Aaron Rice, w. G. Duncan, DR.. Rob-
ert Black, C: J. S. Brooker, w. E.
Free, DR.. George F. Hair, B. c. Crum,
w. D. Coleman, DR.. F. B. McCrack-
in, G. A. Ducker, w. A. Klauber, G..
w. Rentz, Sr.
At the meeting of the directors,
the following officers were elected:
W. A. Klauber, president; DR.. Robert
Black, vice president; w. D. Cole
man, active vice president; c. E..
Black, cashier; Mrs. E. C. Morris,
assistant cashier.
An annual dividend of eight per
cent. was declared, and a nice sum
was carried to the profits and sur
plus account. The bank is showing
a most rapid and satisfactory growth,
and is in every way in most -four
ishing condition..

ed family Of that name in Barnwell

woman of estimable character and
refinement whom Bamberg is glad
to welcome into our midst. She
is a daughter of the late Mr.. and

DEATH OF MRS. CHISOLM.
Widow of Late Rev. S. p. Chisolm
Passes Away in Colston Section.

Mrs. S. P. Chisolm, the widow OF
the Rev. S. P. Chisolm, PASSED to her
eternal reward Tuesday, t{e oath OF
January, at six o'clock in the after,
noon. Mrs. Chisolm was a daughter
of Joe Lowery, of Bamberg county
She first married Willie E. Beard,
who was resident of Colston
Branch community, and she made
that community her permanent home
during the remainder of her life.
Mr.. Beard departed this life in 1901
and after few years Mrs. Beard
married the late Rev. S. P. Chisolm.
After the death of Mr.. Chisolm his
widow remained at her old home
with her children.
For several months Mrs Chisolm
had been going back in health. She
was bothered with complication
of diseases of which it seemed that
her physician could render her but
little assistance AS her health be-
came poorer and poorer, Mrs. B. w.
Beard and other friends untiringly
stood by her bedside. Just a few
days before her death she seemed
to have made change for the better,
but then the relapse set in which re-
suited in her death.
Mrs. Chisolm leaves three sons and
one adopted daughter, viz: H. w.
Beard, of Bamberg; J. G. and B. w.
Beard, of Colston community, and
Mrs. Emery Williams, Of Norway;
and a host of friends to mourn her
death. She will be missed in the
home, at the bedside of the sick and
in the community. She was faith
full member of the Colston Branch
Baptist church and, was untiring in
all it's interests.
We humbly bow our heads in sub
mission to Him that gave us life and
realize that God doeth all things
we'll. Taking Him at His word we
are assured that some day in the
future all believers in Christ will be
called to "pass over this Jordan"
into the celestial Canaan. Let us
live so that when some angel of
Joshua calls us we may be ready and
may carry over the Jordan of death
a pure heart and a rich inheritance.

--latest Cotton Ginning
Figures Announced

According to the preliminary an
nouncement Of cotton ginnings prior
to January 10th, made public jan

Bamberg county three bales Of cotton
during the period from January 1 to
January 16. When it is recalled that
in the good old days" of good cot
ton crops many of the gins were run

of the season, folks can't help but
feel a little sad over the mortal cas-
ket of our ex-king, cotton. There
is such a little difference in the gin
ming figures now announced than the
previous ones, that it is scarcely
worth while printing them; however,
here they are, for Bamberg and neigh
boring counties:
