Is go out and help it win. It goes
for the tickets as q whole. It
goes for everything"

National Champ
AT Darlington

DARLINGTON - Chuck Stew
enson. sensational winner Of the
Milwaukee Rex Mays AAA 100
mile national championship bis
car race June 8, will attempt tc
continue his drive for the 1855
big car title at Darlington (S.C.)
June 5th. Stevenson was national
champion in 1852.
Four others have also signed
Darlington entries, bringing the
field that will contest the hide
pendence Day Sweepstakes to an
even dozen. They are, Rodger
Ward, Los Angeles, driving the
Or. Sabourin Special; Ed Elisian,
Pacoima, Calf. Federal Engin-
eering Special; Don Freeland. Los
Angeles, Bob Estes Special; and
Eddie Sachs, G lessner Special Of
Wheeling, w. Va.
All but Sachs were in the Ind
annapolis starting field Decoration
Day. Freeland finished among the
first ten and earned membership
in the exclusive Champion 100
Mile an Hour Club at Indianapolis.
Stevenson, driving the famous
Agajanian "98" in winning the
first race ever held on a mile
asphalt track in Milwaukee, upped
his record to three national cham
pionShip victories in the Wincon-
sin city. He had won the 1852 and
1858 200 mile races, there. before
the track was paved. The chunky
Californian has also won the last
two Mexican, Pan American road
races, driving for Lincoln. Thus
showing preference for the dis
lance events, as well as those held
on paved surfaces. the former
champion will be distinct threat
to also take the 200 mile Darling
ton Classic.
Former Darlington winners
Johnnie Parsons and Walt Faulk-
ner have entered the South Caro-
lima holiday event and will rank
next to Stevenson in favoritism.
Faulkner is also two-time WIN
ner of the Milwaukee classic
ironically while driving for Aga
Janian, Stevenson's present car
owner
Others already entered include
Jimmy Bryan, Phoenix. second at
indianapolis, Jimmy Reece. Okla
homa City, third at Milwaukee.
Bob Scott, Gardena, Calf. and
Jimmy Daywalt. Wabash, Indiana.
McGrath, Daywalt and Bryan
comprised the front starting line
at indianapolis. Colvin said the
entry list would probably reach
forty of the expensive Indianapolis
creations and thirty will start the
long grind. Qualifying trials will
be held July second and third.

Then on the fourth day a man
came into her room carrying a

Cotton ! arners Should Watch
For Boil Weevils, Bollworms

CLEMSON, June % - Cotton
farmers should watch their fields
closely during the next week for
boil weevils and bollworms and
should act promptly for their con-
, troll if they are found, advised the
Clemson Extension Cotton Com
nittee TO-DAY.
Dry weather, the committee
found, has apparently delayed
emergence of over-wintered weev-
lis, but with the coming of showers
which have fallen in many parts
Of the state in the past few days,
increased emergence is likely to
occur.
According to the groups report,
the major portion of alternating
weevils will be out by the first
week of July.
Thirty-eight county agents have
reported to the committee that
cotton during the past 10 days has
made excellent growth, and that
about 10000 acres of cotton re-
ceived insecticide applications
during the past week to bring the
total treated acreage for the state
this season up to 254, 900 acres, or
over one-fourth of the planted
acreage
The report also shows bollworm
activity is increasing in coastal
plain counties.
To control boil weevils and boil
worms the Clemson committee
recommends that an application of
a recommended insecticide be
made to every acre of cotton in
the state this week unless infesta-
ton counts show weevils and boil
worms are not present. In areas
where bollwormS or bollworm eggs
are found, the insecticide used
should contain five percent DOT
except where toxaphene or en-
drin is applied.
In fields where cotton is fruit
ing, applications should be con-
tinued according to recommenda-
tons given in Clemson Extension
Circular 1893, Cotton Production
Insect and Disease Control. avail

BATH HAS RICH HISTORY
Bath County Was Chartered in the Year 1896 and
Extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific

Carolina. Hyde took office in
1712, and as was the custom,
with meetings being held fire.
quently at plantation homes.
Since Bath was not only the
only town in the Province but
the capital as well, many promi-
nent families moved in from
other parts. Public buildings and
fine homes were erected and
Bath became the first official
port of entry for the Province in
IT'S. Manor houses, large land
holdings, wealth, culture, finery,
racing, fishing, and politics were
the order of the era.
Politics and religion, however,
began to brew discord. Quakers,
opposed to the established
Church and to the taking of
oaths, had moved in in large
numbers. Efforts to have them
take the oath of allegiance to
Queen Anne met with such re-
sistance that the effectiveness of
the government became leopard
lied. Then, during Governor
Carey's second term, that began
in 1908, Queen Anne's cousin
Edward Hyde showed up claim
ing to have been appointed gov
ernor but failing to bring with
hi m documentary evidence.
Though many were willing to-
accept him anyhow, former Gov
ernor Carey defied him. Hyde
armed group of followers and
marched on Bath to suppress
Carey's rebellion, but met too
much opposition and had to
withdraw. Thereupon Carey's
forces marched on Hyde's posi-
ton on Albemarle Sound, found
them too strong, lost his navy
and fled to Virginia. Sent to
England for trial, he was ac-
quilted for lack of evidence of
treason.
