The motorcycle recently ordered

ceeding that of any automobile
owned in the county, and will be
used primarily for oyerhauling
speeders. officer Arlington, proba-
bly,, will be assigned to the machine
regularly, though Chief Bragg
plans to have other members of
the force learn how to operate it
so in an emergency the motorcycle
may be used by any one Of several
officers. The Ford car owned by
the police department will also be
retained, but this will be used for
purposes other than that of regulat-

GUS SPARKS, .JR.
IS BADLY HURT
Young Grandson of Mrs. w. A.
Dodson Painfully Cut in Auto
Accident

Gus Sparks, Jr., young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. o. Sparks, of Ma
con, was painfully cut late Wed
nesday afternoon when the car in
which he was riding with Mrs. W.
A. Dodson and other relatives, was
struck by another machine driven
by Mrs. Clark Poole. The acci-
dent occurred on South Lee street,
near the Seaboard bridge, and was
said to have been unavoidable.
The Dodson car had become STALL
ed during binding rainstorm, ard
the engine went dead, due it is said
to the excessive precipitation. Mrs.
Poole was driving toward the city
and in the heavy downpour failed
to see the stalled Dodson car. The
two cars came together, with the
glass in the rear top of the Dodson
car being broken. Parts of this
struck the young Sparks boy, wl.o
is visiting his grandmother, Mrs.
Dodson, at her home here, inflict;ng
painful injuries. Several cuts We're
made about the little boys face and
nose, one of these being several
inches long and likely to result in
an ugly scar. Physicians who
dressed his injuries state the boy
will recover, although danger of
infection exists. He is now at the
home of Mrs. Dodson, where he is
receiving tenderest care.

Plains Methodist
Circuit

There were good congregations
at Ryiander Saturday and Sunday
night but owing to the rain there
were only a few at thu Sunday
morning services.
Col. w. P. Wallis, of Americas,
will speak to the congregation at
New Point next Sunday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock, this being the reg
uIar preaching day there. Col. Wal
lis is recognized as a fine speaker
and a good church worker ard no
doubt many will go to hear him
next Sunday afternoon.
On account of the condition of
the crops in the Rylandtr commun-
ity the revival at that church,
which was to have begun last Sum
day, has been postponed until the
second Sunday night in August,
continuing through the third Sur
day.
The third quarterly meeting for
the year has been announced To be
held at Concord on the third Sunday
IN July and Saturday before. DR..
Lovett, the presiding elder will
preach both days, which means good
preaching for that occasion. Din
ner win be served on tine grounds
on Saturday and the conference will
be held in the afternoon of the same
day. The treasurers of each
church are expected to furnish
each steward with a list of the
members in his charge who are in
arrears with their dues that they
may call upon them prior to that
meeting. Good reports are expect
ed at the conference and a good
time generally. The public is
most cordially invited and a largt
delegation is expected from every
church on the charge.
The revival meeting at Con-
cord will begin with the quarterly
meeting, services being held each
day at IL a. m. and 8 p. m, Rev.
C. M. Infinger, of PARROT, viii
arrive on Monday and win do the
rest of the preaching during tbs
meeting. Rev. Infinger is spoken
of as live wire, his powerful ser
mons attracting much attention.
Large congregations are expectcC
and much good will no doubt be
accomplished.

WEEV|LS BEGINNING
To PEARAGAIN IN
COTTON FIELDS HERE
Sumter Farmers Warned to
Watch Close and Poison
Wherever They Are Found
CRUBS ARE MATCHING OUT
Allow. Five Days Between Poi
sonings and Renew Applica-
lions in Case of Rain

"The second crop of boil weevils
are beginning to appear in Sumter
county fields" said George o. Mar
shall, county agent, today. This
means that farmers must keep th-if
eyes wide open and inspect their
plants closely. These are new Wee
wills; weevils that either escaped
poisoning earlier in the season ana
grubs that Matched out after be-
ing laid by hiberating adults. .S%F'
Wherever weevils are found,
apply calcium arsenate quickly and
repeat within five days. This is the
pne and only sure way to control
the weevils. The fight is not won
by long ways. Wet weather is a.
big aid to the weevils, but contin-
ued rains even don't mean that the
weevil can't be controlled.
"In many parts of the county the
weevils appear to have been totally
exterminated, but even in such
fields as these, it is possible they
will be re-infested with the begin
ming of the migratory period. The
closest watch must be kept from
now on until the cotton crop is
made. Where there are no weevils,
of course, it is needless to continue
poison applications-but be sure you
have no weevils. Examine every
plant carefully, and where the wee
wills are found put the poison there,
repeating the application after five
days with out rain.
There is a mistaken idea held
" some farmers that the weevils
ont attack half-grown bolls
ese furnish feeding places for
weevils where there are no
Tres, though the weevils prefer
squares blooms and tender buds
VIZ plant. In examining field
'eevils now, particular atten-
NJ hould be given to the blooms
734ds where the weevil will be
TO, if they are in the field. If
d are no weevils found in the
.5ms where there are blooms now
is fairly safe to assume that they
i'e well under control in such
iields."

adopting a substitute measure.
The viaduct bill has been post
poned several times this session.
The tax repeal measure, also saf-
fering from postponment, was prac-
tically assured of definite action,
however, following requests by
President Carswell from the chair
last week that the measure be dis
posed of one way or another and
acquiescence in the request by
Senator Pace, co-author of the bill.
The lower house had plenty of
proposed legislation before it and
committees are holding daily SEES
sions, augmenting the Legislative
material. Just what measures would
be considered at today's session,
though, was indefinite. The motor
bus bill is on the calendar but it has
been well up for several days and
yet has not been reached.
New bills continue to be dumped
into the hopper of both branches.
Many Of the new measures are local
in character and are being disposed
of without debate.
