FARMERS To HEAR ]. c.
M \ n ESS SATURDAY
At COURTHOUSE HERE
Last Meeting Of Present Cam
paign to Control Weevil
Scheduled for This Week
HIXON APPROVES PLAN
Wants Every Farmer in Coun-
ty to Hear State BoaSd Man
Iell of Poisoning Plan
HIXtON APPROVES ?

Sumter county farmers now en-
gagged in waging the greatest poison
ing campaign in the history OF the
boil weevil here, will hear }. Z.
Maness, state board expert, IN an
ADDRESS at the courthouse here next
Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
This was announced here today by
Judge James A. Hixon, chairman
of the steering committee OF the
weevil control campaign.
Mr.. Maneses has spoken to Sum-
ter county farmers a number Of
times since the beginning Of the
campaign, and under his direction
that of George o. Marshall
county farm demonstration agent,
more calcium arsenate has already
been used here than during any
previous year-and the poisoning
campaign is just now well under
way. With the appearance Of the
first blooms is inaugurated new
phase of the campaign against the
weevil, which DR.. Maness comes
here to explain to Sumter's cotton
farmers.
A phase heretofore little touched
upon, but detail of vast impor.
lance in relation to the ultimate
yield to be secured, is the picking
up of fallen squares. Every square
that falls from cotton plant is
suspected of having been punctur-
ed by the weevil, and every pune
tured square surely harbors at
least one grub, and maybe great
Imany more. Picking up and destroy
of these squares, represents one of
the most important steps in the eff
fort to control the boil weevil in
Sumter county, and the best man
ner in which to do this is what Dr.
Maness comes here to tell Sumter S
farmers and business men. Neg
lect to pick up squares now, and all
of the poison farmers have put on
their plants to date may be lost.
This campaign is based upon con
troll of the. weevil in the crops early
stages, and picking up squares is
one of the details that must be done
carefully and promptly, if the cam
paign is to succeed.

MANY MOTORISTS ARE
F lined BY RECORDER
$1.00 to $3.50 Assessed Against
Defendants in Police Court
This Morning

Between forty and fifty motorists
appeared in recorders court this
morning in answer to summons
served Sunday and early today to
answer accusations of breaking the
city's traffic laws. The specific
violation in most cases was driving
past the intersection of Church and
Lee streets at a speed of more than
Z 1-2 miles an hour. The city ordi-
nance provides that cars shall not
travel at speed of more than fif-
teen miles an hour within the fire
limits, with the further provision
that all motorists must reduce speed
to 1-2 miles an hour when cross
ing interesting streets within the
business zone. Hollis Fort, re-
corder, assessed fines Of $1.00 to
$3.50 in all cases where gpleas of
guilty were entered or conviction
secured,
Following the session there was
a general discussion of the exist
ting traffic laws upon the streets
t being maintained by a number of
motorists that it is practically inn
possible to comply with the lew in
every instance, because of certain
grades, and other traffic condi-
tions. It is more dangerous, it
was pointed out to change gears
at a crossing than to travel at a
speed higher than that fixed in the
law, because of the mechanical
changes necessary and the labor
involved. Recorder Fort himself,
referred to the provision of law
relative to speed to be observed
at crossings, but said he was with
out authority to change the law
itself, therefore assessed only nom-
inal fines in most cases, a num-
Der of ladies being among the de-
PENDANTS.
AS a result of the dissatisfac-
ton expressed with the law, it is
probable the matter of revising the
traffic ordinance will be taken up
at the next session of city council,
a number of citizens having ex-
pressed a determination to appear
before that body in reference to
the ordinance at the earliest OPP
portunity. 49,,

IS IMPROVING
Shooting Alleged to Have
Grown Out of Certain Edi-
toriaI in Flanders Paper

SOPERTON, June 16.-Crosby
Williams, alderman wanted for
shooting Horace NJ. Flanders, edi-
tor of the Soperton News several
weeks ago, surrendered to Sheriff
Ware here today, and was immed-
lately placed in the local Jail pend
ing developments.
Flanders continues to improve,
but is not yet considered out of
danger.
Williams, it is understood, will
ask bond as soon os Flanders con.
dition warrants his release.
Williams shot Flanders, it is al
legged, because of certain editorials
appearing in the News purporting
to dea with the local liquor traffic.
