Another for Fort Mill.

The Fort Mill ball team won its
eighth victory of the season Sat
urday afternoon when it defeated
Waxhaw on the local grounds, &
to 2. Up to the eighth inning
the game was tied in a knot, each
team having scored twice. Then
the home boys got d man OIL and
Andral Ferguson hit for three
bases, scoring a runner ahead Of
hum and later scoring himself,
thanks " more hitting, which
produced in all four runs for the
locals. Waxhaw had already shot
her bolt and was unable to add
anything to the 2 runs she had
accumulated. Both the pitchers,
Andral Ferguson for Fort Mill,
and Tyesinger of Waxhaw, had
a good afternoon, except the
eighth inning for the latter. Fort
Mills next game will be with

TRANSFERRED TO FILBERT.
State Candidates Not to Speak at
York Court House.

The State campaign meeting
fol York county scheduled to be
held at the court house in York
On August 2 will be held at Fill
bert and the visit of the cam
paign party to that village will
coincide with the annual political
picnic. held there. To comply
with the rules of the party, how
ever, the meeting will be called
to order in the court house by j.
A. Marion, county chairman, and
then Immediately transferred to
Pursley's grove at Filbert, where
the candidates will speak.
This procedure was suggested
by Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell,
chairman of the State executive
committee, who was asked to
change the place of meeting by
the York county member of that
body, DR.. l. j. Campbell of Clo-
yer. Mr.. Brown said that as the
campaign scedule had been fixed
by a committee he did not have
authority to make the change.
but thought the arrangement out
lined weuld meet the require
ments of the occasion.
The attendance at the Hilbert
picnic usually runs between 1000
and 5000 and this year the
crowd will likely be still larger,
due to the drawing power of the
State campaigners.

Swearingen on Defensive.

The third week of the campaign
for State officers came to close
in Orangeburg Saturday without
anything sensational having oc-
cured III the race for governor,
further than the charges made
by John 7. Duncan against all
the other candidates for the
office.
Thus far what many consider
the most interesting development
OF the campaign has occurred in
the race for superintendent of
education, in which j. H. Hope of
Union apparently has Put John
r.. Swearingen on the defensive
with, the charge that the recent
useless adoption of text books by
the State board of education, OF
which Swearingen is a member,
will cost the patrons of the pub
lie schools more than a quarter of
a million dollars. 49,
Swearingen is trying to side
step. the charge by saying that
the State board is responsible
and by asserting that the State
does not need former book
agent, referring to Hope, in the
office of superintendent of educa
tion. Hope replies that Swearin-
gen will be glad to get a job as
book agent after the primary
election in August.

TURNS TO PEACHES.
York Farmer Puts Out Five
Thousand Trees. =

With the boil weevh menace
pl Ompting hundreds of York
county farmers to look around
and consider what money crops
can be produced in this section
besides cotton, there is much in
tcrest in the experiment of John
Son Cameron at peach growing
Oil his farm three miles south OF
York. Mr.. Cameron is playing a
pioneer role for this section Of
the State in undertaking to grow
peaches on commercial scale
and it IS though that OH the out
come of his venture will depend
whether or not many other York
county farmers will turn to fruit
growing as means of outwit-
ting the boil weevil.
Last fall Mr.. Cameron put out
5000 peach trees, 1000 Of which
are the Elberta variety. They
were set out on SO acres of land
pronounced by competent judges
as well adapted to peaches. No
pains were spared in putting
them out or in fertilizing and
cultivating them to assure the
best results. The trees are now
looking well and two years hence
will bear their first crop. Some
of the trees are expected to bear
IA small quuantity of fruit neAt
year, but no yield of consequence
can be expected until 1924.
Mr.. Cameron also put out sew
eral acres in apples and an acre
each in cherries and damsels,
but he expects to grow thes:
fruits largely for his own use or
for sale in small.quantities in tho
surrounding territory. He does
rot contemplate raising other
fruits than peaches on u CONNER
cial basis, as he thinks the ven
ture would be very hazardous.
He does not think apples can be-
successfully produced here.

time, with every wheel turning,
as soon AS operatives can be Sc
cured, it is stated. Already sew
eral families have moved into the
village and have gone to work in
the mill. The resumption of work
at. the mill means a considerable
volume of trade for the merchants
OF Fort Mill, rs many Of the ope-
rotives come here to buy their
supplies:

TIME TO FIGHT wEEv1L.
Abbeville Paper Says Early Ac.
ton Is Necessary.

The boil weevil is commencing
his work i'll the cotton fields in
earnest, says the Abbeville Press
and Banner. The time has come
to1 the farmer to fight if he
would make crop of cotton. All
advisers agree that the rapid cul-
tlvation OF the crop at this sea-
son is one of fhe surest ways Of
getting results. The cotton should
be plowed once each week, ut
least, and preferably twice each
week. This not only hastens the
crop to maturity, but numerous
boil weevilS are knocked from the
stalks, covered up and killed,
while the punctured squares, the
breeding places of the young
weevils, are covered up ami de-
stroyed.
Now is the time to apply poi
son. 1t should be applied freely
and frequently. The department
OF agriculture recommends that
three applications be made, one
every four days. In that way you
strike at the old weevil on the
stalk and in turn at the new wee
wills as they hatch from the pune
tured squares. You may not get
every weevil, but following this
plan, the weevils are not allowed
to remain in sufficient numbers
to do much harm, at least that is
the claim.
But whatever is to be done
nut be done this month and the
next. The farmer who is idle,
who is not wide awake to the sit
uatiOn, and who does not utilize
every human means of fighting
the pest, will not grow cotton
this year.

That Special Judge Frank p.
McGowan of Laurnes, who is pre-

eyes, SIR replied the two
boys. ~
Thought so," said the judge.
Then he wanted to know if Su-
pervisor Brown was in the court
room. When told that the super
visor was not present, the judge
said:
Il want the order to get to Su-
pervisOr Brown that he is not to
work these two boys in the hot
sun from morning until night.
They have been accustomed to
working inside a building and
are not used to work in the hot
sun. If required to work on the
roads from morning until night
it might mean the death of them,
since they are not used to such
exposure.

BLOW FOR BONUS.
Defeat 6f 'McOumber Against
Measure for Soldiers.

The recent defeat of Senator
McCumber in the North Dakota
primaries ID expected to exercise
a decisive influence over the SOL
dier bonus measure in the senate
of the United States.
One Of the effects of the North
Dakota contest has been to pro-
vide agitation for the removal of
the bonus irritant from the con-
gressional situation. There is
said to have been tremendous
change of sentiment I'M both
houses OF Congress regarding the
proposed law. $3.50
Greater significance is attach.
ed to the defeat of Senator Nc
Cumber In this respect than to
any previous bonus event. The
North Dakota senator was the
most active champion of the bo-
nus measure in either house of
Congress, and there is much less
talk now among senators who
were most enthusiastic for imme-
diate action on the bonus bill
than there was before the North
Dakota primary. Out of sucn
discussion as concerns it, there
appears to be crystallizing a
movement to dump the present
bill and adopt another for the
ex-service men.
Every attack OH the bill has re-
suited iii modification of it's orig
inal provisions. The cash pay
ment for all bonus beneficiaries
was dropped in the house of rep.
