Fighting The Corn Weevn.

Clemson College, Nov. 2S.-The
heavy loss from the corn weevil,
particularly in the Piedmont section,
has brought many inquiries for con-
troll methods. Large amounts OF
corn have already been ruined in the
fields.
The use of pure seed of standard
varieties and careful annual selec-
ton of ears well covered at the tips
will do much to relieve the trouble,
says J. H. Carbery, Extension Agro-
nomist in Plant Breeding, who ad-
vises also that where weevil infesta-
tion is heavy, the corn should be
shucked in the field to avoid storing
the weevil for further damage in the
corn crib.
Many weevils live over winter IN
nubbin ears left in field, therefore
such ears should be carefully remov-
ed.
Since most corn cribs are of open
construction, carbon bisulphide can
not be used very effectively parti-
cularly where large quantities OF
corn are stored. Under such con-
ditions better results may be obtained
by hanging building paper of cloth
curtains around the exterior of the
corn crib, fitting closely to prevent
escape of the gas. Cloth treated with
beeswax or a mixture of paraftln and
gasoline will serve we'll and last a
long time. and it can be removed and
replaced as desired.
Where the bulk OF corn is too great
to fumigate effective from the top
in the usual way, the liquid may be
conducted to the point of dlstrlou-
ton on the interior of the pile
through small gas pipes. A thorough
fumigation of the corn will Kill not
onlv weevils but also rats and mice
if means of escape are cut on. Small
er quantities of corn, peas, etc., may
he fumigated in close house, boxes,
or other containers by placing a sauc-
er Of the carbon bisulphide on top OF
the grain, etc., to be fumigated and
covering the container closely.
Instructions as to quantities OF
carbon bisulphide to use are given IN

Stored Grain," which may be hao

She Knew Him.

A young and eligible bachelor was
planning to refurnish and redecorate
his apartment, and wished to nave
the walls newly papered. knowing his
landlord very we'll socially, he resolv-
ed to call one evening and make his
wants known.
On his arrival, he found his land
lord was out. However, the charm
ing daughter admitted him, and after
the usual exchange of greetings he
said:
81 have come, Miss Rentworth, to
ask two very important questions OF
YOUR father, and hope that both may
receive favorable answers.
Miss Rentworth replied: "Tll be
very glad to deliver any message or
fathers return
But" he continued in a peculiar
vein. "one of these questions relates
to YOU. l was going to ask youl
father for your hand, and for some
new wallpaper as we'll"
IF that's ALL" she flashed back, -

but, knowing him as I do, can offel

Fitting Text.

A colored preacher in Alabama had
at one time served a short jail SEN
tence and was fearful lest his congre-
cation discover the fact, as in his
later years he had been model OF
rectitude. One Sunday, rising to be-
gin his sermon, his heart sank to see
a former cellmate sitting in the front
row. Quick thinking was necessary.
Fixing his eye on the unwelcome
guest, the preacher announced SOL
emnly: IAN takes NAH text dis mo

fo' hundredth verse of de book of
Job, which says: Dem as see and

Divine Guidance.
The WillistOn Way.

The Williston Way.
For the first time in it's history,
court was recently opened in Bam-
berg county by Special Judge Evans
of Edgefeld with prayer. Yet why
shouldn't the blessing and guidance
of Almighty God be asked in this
most solemn and serious undertaking?
Our courthouses should stand along
with our churches and schoolhouses
as milestones of safety against the
agencies that would tear down the
fabric of society. The newspaper ac-
counts of the trial of William FAIRIES
in York last week state that the jury
assembled in the jury room and
prayed for guidance and then
brought in verdict Of first degree
murder-the only verdict they could
find for had they decided otherwise
the State could not justly execute the
inmates of the death cells in Colum-
bia, yet these twelve men realized the
seriousness of their responsibility and
wanted light from above. Judge
Peurifoy in passing sentence on FAIRIES,
who had taken the lives of four per-
sons, two of them small children,
said: sI recommend to you the Chris
tian religion. It sustained the
martyrs and will sustain you. Minis
ters who will come to see you in Col
umbia (where condemned are exc
cuted) will comfort you. Your body
will be sacrificed but your soul may
be free through the gracious mercy
of Jesus Christ" Truly better day
is dawning when our jurors and
judges are looking above for light.
May others follow their example
should be our earnest hope and pray

SENTENCE IS CONNIUNITED
Negro Given Freedom by Governor
| Harvey.

Columbia, Dec. 1.-Governor Har-
vey this afternoon at $40 o'clock
commuted the death sentence of
David Brannum, a negro of Orange
burg, to seven years Imprisonment
and fifteen minutes later suspended
this later sentence during good be-
havior the Governor to solely deter
mine the compliance or non-com-
pliance," with the good behavior
clause.
Brannum was convicted at Orange
burg County about four years ago, of
criminal assault on youthful men,
Der of his race and was sentenced to
death. The negro appealed, and,
due to a change in the Office force in
Orangeburg, the solicitor becoming a
Congressman and the negro's law
yer the solicitor, the case was lost
track of and the negro remained in
the State penitentiary without any
definite status, except being under
sentence of death with no date for
execution.
Many appeals have been made to
Governor Harvey in behalf of the
negro, the concensus of opinion be-
ing that the negro was not guilty
of the crime charged, and that his
conviction was due to the excite
ment engendered by the unnatural
ness of the supposed offense. The
Governor decided on clemency and
so worded his papers that he thinks
misbehavior on the part of Brannum
in the future will cause him to serve
the remaining three years of his SEN
tence.

We Sleep Too Little

Most busy people sleep too little.
Not enough time is given to the ne
cessary physical repairs which TINS
most strenuous modern pace de-
mands.
The vitality lowered and we are
subject to ills of the flesh that other
wise would be averted. Old age IS
encouraged and our personality al
fected.
It is claimed that as a race we
sleep too little. An infants lie IS
nearly all sleep. Gradually, as the
child grows older, the hours Of sleep
are shortened to half the day CT
about eight hours.
Youth. until the age of 20 is reach
ed, requires fully 10 hours sleep.
Although nature demands less
hours of sleep in summer than IN
winter, it has proved that eight
hours of sleep is required for the
average male adult in good health
Bv this is meant not simply eight
hours in bed, but that amount OIL
good sound, restful sleep night al
ter night.
Our power to work is intimatel!

MORE LAW, LESS RED TAPE
Governor Harvey Makes Statement
About the Crook Case.

Predictine that the people will un-
questionable demand that law en-
forcement be not delayed and NULL
fed by means of legal machinery or
ambiguity of terms Governor
Harvey on Wednesday issued state
ment declaring that the decision of
the state supreme court in the Grover
Crooks case will tend to emphasize
the general opinion that the pro-
cedure incident to our criminal law
is sadly in need of revision
The decision in question released
Crooks, an Oconee county man, from
the state penitentiary, where he had
been committed upon orders from
Governor Harvey, which purported to
revoke a parole granted to Crooks by
former Governor Cooper. The court
held that Governor Harvey could not
legally have Crooks incarcerated Tor
breach of parole conditions, because
his sentence expired in April of this
wear, after which, the court decided,
the conditions of the parole were not
binding.
The effect of the court decision, it
was pointed out in the opinion, was
to establish the precedent that con-
vict's sentence continues to run af-
ter he is paroled.
Governor Harvey's statement fol-
lows:
The highest judicial authority, the
supreme court of the state, has
spoken. The status Of the parole sys-
tenn has been defined The interpreta-
ton of the law as thus decreed is the
law and it is to be obeyed and re-
spected by all. 1t is we'll that the
issue has been definitely determined.
1t is surprising that matter affecting
the liberty of people and the author
ity of the executive has been so long
been left unsettled. 1t means that the
parole system as understood all these
wears, will practically be abandoned.
The system of paroles as previously
understood seemed to be wise If pro-
perly exercised and rightfully en-
forced. The word parole will hard
" be used by executives in future
acts of clemency. Those already par
oled will be the only benefciaries OF
the decision. My connection with the
matter was wholly impersonal. |, OF
course, was merely acting for the
public. and as heretofore legally un-
,derstood. 1t is to be regretted that
another weapon for law enforcement
is found defective, but it may serve
to stir the public to action.
s"The decision of the court will
tend to emphasize the general opln-
ion that the procedure of our crlml-
nal laws is sadly in need of revision.
The people will unquestionably de-
mand that less loopholes be furnish
ed law violators by means of technl-
calities and delays, and that law en-
forcement be not retarded, delayed
and nullifed by means of legal red
tape or court machinery or ambiguity
of terms"
