Attacks Biz BolIs.

The weevil infestation thro lghout
Richmond county is a source for
alarming concern to the farmers.
Last year the weevil appeared over
the county in what at that time was
considered large numbers; but from
the present viewpoint, the presence
of the weevil last year was mild.
Despite the picking up of falling
squares earlier in the season, and
the spraying methods on MANY
farms, the weevir is in deadly nuns
bers in practically every colt VI, field
in the county. And at this writing
there is nc real way of estimating
Just how much cotton will be made.
The pest is not only destroying new
squares, but is attacking large bolls
that are ready to open. Many were

Monday afternoon Sheriff Nc
Donald, with Deputies Reynolds,
Meacham and Covington, made
a raid in Wolf Pit near the Dees-
boro section. The Sheriff closed
in on one side of the still, and
the others on the opposite side.
The blockaders saw Mr.. Rey-

and so they slipped off into the
bushes in the opposite direction
but right into the waiting arms
of Sheriff Mcdonald, who arose
lin their path and with Winchester
Ileveled ordered them to hands

The officers then destroyed the
still, which was OF 25-gallons
capacity and from which one run
had just been completed The
two men and the boy were
brought to jail at Rockingham.
The boy was released under Sl00
bond, mainly as a witpess.

Many Surprises
Due Before Frost.

Several farmers have recently
remarked: Il played the fool by
not planting more cotton this
year. Tn going to plant a full
crop next YEAR, To which we
replied: don't do itl" One man
even went so far as to declare
his purpose of purchasing a
farm, hoping to make cotton to
pay for it!
Those of us who were ac-
quainted with weevil ways, pre-
dicted a fair crop considering
the light intestation here and
there) this year, stating that the
damage would be spotted. This
prediction came true, but many
surprises are yet due before
frost, for those especially who
now have late cotton we'll filed
with immature fruit.
We are finding many bolls
practically grown that look as if
they are nninjured, that have
weevils in them or that have

'ENTWISTLE MILL
TO Be DOUBLED
Directors of Entwistle Mill
Met Today and Voted to
Double Size of Mill. As
Many Looms and Spindles
Around Rockingham Now
as Were in Entire South in
1870.

The directors of Entwistle Mfg.
Co. met today and voted to great
ly increase the sixe and capacity
of Entwistle cotton mill.
The plans call for a new build
ing that will be approximately
125 feet wide and 500 feet long.
It will parallel the present mill,
but about 60 feet apart. The
present mill has 600 looms. The
new addition will give the COM
pany 1000 looms, and increase
the spindles to about 45,O00,- al:
most doubling the size,
This action upon the part Of
the Entwistle mill will continue
to make things hum around
Rockingham. 1t is but in line
with the policy of the other mills
to expand. Within the past two
years Steele's Mills enlarged;
then earlier in this year Hannah
Pickett greatly enlarged, and
now Roberdel No. 2 has Just a..
bout completed an addition that
almost doubles the size.

ARE PEACHES ovERDoNE9

The Post Dispatch in common
with other weekly papers, is carry
ing paid advertisement signed
by Roger Derby, H. G. Waring and
other large peach growers, in which
prospective peach growers are dis
couraged from entering the business.
The claim is made that the thing is
being overdone and that the markets
will be glutted and no money made.
Well, that is an opinion. 1t is
what those gentlemen who are
NOW IN have to say to those on the
outside; it is natural that if one
feels a watermelon can feed but a
certain number, he should want that
number to be increased; rather
would he wish the number decreas-
ed so that he could get an even
larger share. 4.
And yet there is an argument on
both sides of the question. The
Post.Dispatch is copying tile follow
ing editorial that appeared in the
Moore County News last week. 1t
covers the ground pretty well:
THE advertisement by Roger Der

gerous limit reached by orchard de-
yelopment naturally attracts some
