DANGEROUS PHASE N
FIGHT ON WEEV|L
JUST BEGINNIN ING
George 0. Marshall and Judge
Hixon Sound Note of Warm
ing to Cotton Farmers

The most dangerous phase in the
fight to control the boil weevil in
Sumter county is Just beginning.
This is the statement authorized
this morning by George o. Marshall
and Judge James A. hiXon, chair
men of the steering committee in
charge of the wecyil control cam
paign.
Now is the time, say both Mar
shall and Hixon, to pick up sjuares
and destroy every fallen
square thor 7ughly. Ever square
found in a cotton fled they assert,
probably contains one or more grubs
which if allowed to. mature may
produce weeyils before the season
ends.
SIT is especially desirable that
all falleen squares be picked up and
burned" said Marshall this after
noon, for this is the bea' type Of
insurance possible against depc-
diations by the weevil when the mi
gratory season begins. This will
start in a few weeks now, or Just
about the time the present hatch of
grubs natures into adult geevils,
and it is most important, therefore,
that every possible wcevil be de-
stroyed now. The fight up to date
has been carried along on most sat
isfaetory manner, but no time can
be lost in this campaign. Every
punctured square must DE picked
up and destroyed Immediately; de-
lay is dangerous, And poisoning
must be continued right along with
the picking up of squares"

and indeed you wrote me something
to the effect that you are coming to

nothing worse could happen? I
would think that you would have
learned by this time, as I have done.
hat a thing once done can seldom
be undone. You can't unscramble
you know, I must make you
understand that the boy is mine. He
has been given to me through the
processes of the Law and l shall keep
him at any cost.
This will seem to you very hard,
but 1t is destiny. 1 am o really
hard, Paula, and I shall always
think of you with great pleasure, for
we were happy, happier than
thought could be possible without
great love.
OF course you know hat your
coming here will occasion much Cos.

better not try to see me. After all,
Paula, the chapter Is ended and the
book is closed 1t may seem foolish
for me to tell you that I am sorry,
but I am. my dear girl, very sorry,
I do not say, however, that under
similar circumstances I might make
a similar mistake, for you were
very fair; you were very sweet. Had
I never found Leslie L might not
have realized that the emotion which
you aroused in me was not that OF
love.
You see. I'm very franz. Men sci
dom say those things 10 any one. In
fact. I think they hardly ever ever
tell them to one another.
However, 1 think everything has
been said, and only silence should
rest between o and me forever.
