is out of bounds he will have d
slight edge that my determine his
style CT play. Has the player such
right?
A player has the right at any
time of ascertaining whether his
opponents ball is out of bounds OF
not before his opponent can compel
him to continue his play.
Is there a difference in the pen
atty when a player in putting strik-
es his opponents ball in match or
medal play?
There is considerable difference.
In match play there is no penalty,
and a players opponent may re-
place his ball or not as he chooses.
In medal play there is a one-stroke
penalty, consequently it is always
safer to ask your opponent who is
closer to the hole to either lift his
ball or play it. In medal play it is
necessary that your opponent re-
place his ball in as near as pos
sible to its original position.

In my opinion the wholse source
of boil weevil control in the Cough
section of Burke county has resulted
from the use of Hills Mixture and
not by accident and not from lack
of Infection"
This was the statement made last
night by Ira Williams, state ento-
mologist which, he said, was based
upon an expert study of the boil
weevil and its control and years of
experience in fighting the pest. Mr..
Williams added that it was the claim
of scientific men regarding the wee
vii that the control in certain sec
tons was due either to accident or
lack of infection. This he said was
not the case at Cough.
After a visit to Burke county
farms where they Inspected over
$50 acres Of cotton, Ira Williams,
state entomologist, and Robt. (.
Berckmans, a member Of the state
board and former Augu stan, to-
gether with Benjamin Williams,
manager of the Cedar Creek Farms
Of Aiken, S. c., Messrs. Ira Williams
and Berckmans were SO impressed
with what Hills mixture is doing
that they have determined to bring
the entire state board Of entomology
to this city to watch the outcome of
the fight against the weevil which
has gone on so splendidly up until
now.
These gentlemen refused to en-
dorse Hills mixture officially, say
ing that the proof of the efficacy of
this treatment would be found in the
number of bales of cotton that
would be made where this treatment
was being applied, but they said
they were so tremendously impress
ed with its success up until this time
that they deemed it to be the duty
of the state board to watch the out
come and they will also ask Com
missioner of Agriculture ]. ].
Brown and ex-officio of the Board
of Entomology to come to Augusta
and inspect the farms in this sec
ton where this poison is being APP
piled.
We found acres and acres of
cotton full Of blooms, squares and
in many cases of bolls, and we could
find no boil weevils and only now
and then punctured square, said
Mr.. Williams. On the other hand
where cotton was not poisoned we
found no blooms to speak of and
