MOiiAAOKft, CADCTUM AIWENATH. Coker Give? More Iniormatioia Oom cerain? Hi? Experiment?. ? Charleston New* ?nd Courier.) During the past few days many farmers tn this section have made tests with various mixtures of cal cium arsenate and molasses, and In every Instance with which I am fa miliar they are delighted with the results. On our own plantations we have experimented with several mix tures, and aro now using a mixture Of one-half gallon warm water, In V/hieh is thoroughly mixed one pound o' calcium arsenate, and aided to cue-half gallon Of black molasse:-!. \y<: have found a convenient way to apply 1 "J use a ??nar* hettie, which ls Ulled three-fourths full of tho mixture. Cut a trench out of ono ?die of the cork, reverso the bottle and apply to tho bud of tho cotton by a shaking or plunging motion, dropping two or three drops In the bud of the plant. This method re quires less of the mixturo per aero the time. Wo find that none bf the mixturo should be carried over night ?.H lt ls hard to mix tho next morn ing. No moro should bo mixed than can bo used during the day, and it should be thoroughly stirred before pouring Into tho bottles (or buck ets If the mop ls used.) Rudolph Gillespie applied tho mo losses mixture to three different Holds on the 12th, Kith and 14th. This morning (the 10th) ho spent more than an hour In these fields searching for weevils. Ho found no llvo weevils, and no recently punctured squares. Thoro were many weevils In the fields before tho poi son was applied. ..J '?J.

On the I 4lit, a shower having fallen during tho night of tho 13th, another 80aro.ll for weevils was made and three additional dead ?ad BO UT? ooo? wer? found. The r?sulte of thee? expert menu seem to show that where a liquid containing at least half molasses and at least three-fourths of a pound of calcium arsenate per gallon lg used, 100 per cent mortality occurs within four days. The fact that a good many of the weevil? placed on the plants were unaccounted for does not modify the value of the experiment, as our ex perimenters pbserved some weevils to fly away immediately on being placed on a plant. The cotton surrounding these ex periments had not been treated with poison of any kind. ! have had two letters from M. M. < rris, of Vaiire, Orangeburg coun ty s. C., who last year applied, on or about June 10 a mixture of one arid one-half pounds of calcium ar senate and one quart of hot water mixed with one gallon of molasses, lie stirred the water and arsenate for thirty minutes before mixing with the molasses, and applied with a mop. Ho says one man or hoy can apply to four acres per day. He gathered 900 pounds of seed cotton per acre and made only 200 to 4 00 pounds per acre on tho balance of the farm. He does not consider this test positively conclusive, owing to tho fact that ho had no untreated cotton in the field with treated cot ton. He is confident that the poison was responsible for his comparative success, In a section which was al most wiped out by the weevils last year. The cost of the mixture, Mr. Norris says, wa8 twenty to twenty five cents per acre. All tho farmers who have reported on the UBO of the mixture in this section agree that the cost is be tween fifteen and twenty-five ceuts for materials. Mr. Norris reports that rnoBt of the farmers In his sec tion are using tho molasses-calcium arsenate mixturo this year, and so far as he has heard they are pleased with the results. 1 cannot he certain that hy the uso of calcium arsenate-molasses treat ment any farmer will male a crop of cotton, and I can only be sure that under th?; weather conditions we are having hero since May 30, 'hat the j vast majority of the weevils have been killed, and that few weevils are loft In tho treated fields, and few punctured squares are appearing. The i cost of tho application is so slight, j and the results appear so manifest, j that I feel that, every farmer can ill j afford not to invest twenty cents peri acre per application for this treat ment, and apply lt several times at Intervals of a week or ton days. There ls not tho slightest question that millions of weevils have al ready been killed by this treatment rlu ring the past ten days, and it stands to reason that this has done some good. David lt.

A recent development ol much in terest and Importance ls the mapping and logging of the automobile high way from Atlanta to Highlands via Walhalla. 'Pursuant to appointment a delega tion from Walhalla met O. J. Wil loughby, automobile editor and man ager of the Motors and Highway De partment of the Atlanta Constitu tion, at Jarrett's Bridge last Wed nesday, and accompanied him ,io Walhalla, arriving here at noon. This delegation consisted of W. L. Verner, chairman of the Oconee County Highway Commission; J. C. Shock ley, Counly Supervisor; R H. Alex ander, County Treasurer; C. W. Pitchford, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Jas. M. M033, Mayor; R. T. Jaynes, W. D. Moss, C. P. Het rick, R. C. Carter, S. H. Ballenger and J. E. Bauknight. Dinner was served at the Alexan der House, and In the afternoon Mr. Willoughby went on to Highlands, accompanied by Wm. J. Strlbllng, Norton Strlbllng, R. H. Alexander, Geo. Seaborn, 'R. C. Carter, C. F. Hetrick and W. O. White. The party spent /the night at Highlands as guests of the Alexander House there. Many points of Interest around High lands were visited Thursday morn ing, and the party returned to Wal halla in the afternoon. Mr. Wil loughby spent the night here, and started on his return trip to Atlanta Friday morning. He was driving the Atlanta Constitution's Pathflndlng Car, a Packard Six, equipped with two speedometers for the purpose of making accurate measurements. The driVe from Atlanta was mado via Gainesville, Cornelia, Toccoa and Westminster. The register showed the distance from the Atlanta Con stitution Building to the Confederate monument on Main street lu Wal halla to ho one hundred and thirty four and two-tenths miles, while the distance from Walhalla to 'Highlands ls thirty-two and nine-tenths miles. This trip was a revelation to Mr. I Willoughby, who expressed himself as being greatly impressed with our roads and mountain scendry. He gathered full data for the map and log of this route and for the accom-j panylng article descriptive of the section of country, all of which will appear in the Sunday edition of the Atlanta Constitution of July 9th. An incident of tho trip by our delegation to Jarrett's Bridge Wed nesday morning was tho meeting with J. T. Marshall, U. S. senior highway engineer, of Atlanta, and O. S. Wright, registrar of the State ?Highway Department of Georgia, ( with headquarters at Gainesville. I They had just arrived and were standing on the west bank of Tu I galoo river, inspecting tho piers of tho old railroad bridge, when our party drove In sight on the east side. Greetings were exchanged and all mot by appointment soon thereafter at Jarrett's Bridge. A movement is cn foot by tho two State Highway Departments, in co-operation with Federal authorities, for tho early construction of an iron bridge on tho abutments and piers of tho old railroad bridge. Tho prospect is that this bridge will be completed and open for travel within the next 12 months. On this trip Mr. Willoughby was accompanied by his wife and two children. Whilo here they wero thc guests of tho Walhalla Chamber of Commerce, and tlioy minde many friends, who will bo delighted to welcome them on their return at any time. We predict that much good will ensue from this trip of Mr. Wil loughby and tho spirit of ontorpriso engendered thereby. Walhalla is tho natural and logical gateway to High lands.

Harold Cowan deeply loved 'Helen Smyth, the girl that lived on the next block, despite the fact that he had never told Helen of his love for her. Ho had gono about silently worshiping the pretty blonde. Helen loved Harold, but she kept the secret hidden in her own bosom. Tho only fault Helen found with Harold was his love for strong drink. She worried about his drinking, and often plead with him to overcome bis habit of drinking. Her pleadings wore in vain. Many times Helen si lently wept, many limes the unseen tears coursed clown her pretty face. How would Harold have felt hud he known that by bis recklessness his loved ono was suffering so much? Would he have stopped and ponder ed at the sleepless nights and tho Pillow which was many times soaked in tears? One clay as Harold was preparing to call on Helen he vowed to him self that ho would certainly tell her of his love for her and ask her to be his wife. After arriving at the home, true to his vow, he told her of his love-told her how he loved her, worshiped her and adored her. He told her how he yearned for her and of the sleepless nights ho had spent thinking of her. She, too, confessed hov love for him. After Harold had poured out his love to Helen he moved closer to her and then, taking her small,white hand in his, ho said: "Helen, surely you must know how I worship you, for I cannot find words with which to express my love for you. You are life bf my life. Will you be my wife? Helen, don't say no! You cannot, you must not, say no! If you say no I shall surely die." 'Helen sadly shook her head, then answered him, "Harold, I know how you feel, fori love you Just as deeply as you love me. Hut I cannot say what you ask; 1 must say no. How I bato to say those words! How it breaks my heart! There is one thing which, If not moved, will stand be tween us forever to mar our happi ness. I shall never bo happy without you, and I could not be happy with you under tho conditions." Harold looked as if he had been dealt a death blow. "Helen! Helen! Don't (talk so when you seo how you make me suffer! What is tho one thing which stand? between us? Tell mo, and If it. is within my power to remove it, I .shall certainly do so-anything to please you." "'Harold," said Helen, "it is up to you to remove this barrier, because you aro the only ono who bas the power to do it. Surely you have al ready guessed that strong drink is the barrier between us. Remove that and wo shall bo happy together; let lt stay and you anti I shall know no happiness." "Helen, dear, you aro too hard on a poor fellow. 1 will give up part of my drink, but cannot give up all. Will that satisfy you? Will you bo my wife?" "No," Helen quickly answered, "I will not unless you give up all drink for my sake right now." .He considered a momont, then ho slowly answered, "I'll glvo up all drink for you."

He now placed a beautiful ring on Helen's Auger, klBsed her cheek, then took leave of his promised wife. Helen was happier the next two weeks than she had ever been in her life. She was happy lu the sweet thought that Harold and she would never be separated, and very happy that he had reformed. How all her hopes were to be blasted! for tho [two weeks had scat eely passed until Harold called on her again. What do you think? Under the influence of drink! No wonder Helen turned her head when he offered to kiss her, and shrank from his touch. She was too shocked and heart-sick to s.ty anything ex cept, "Harold, how could you?" Slowly slie pulled fhe ring from her linger and handed it to him with the.so words: "Hore is your ring; al is up between us. Never cou . marry you, because you love strong, di Ink bettor than you do me. Ho and go at once! Never come back!" Harold took the ring and went stupidly out the door, hardly real izing what had happened until tho next day when he became fully con scious, then ho was wild with worry. Quickly dressing, ho went to Helen's home. He did not wait for admit tance, but pushed open the door and walked In, Just as ho got In the hall he met face to face with Helen. "Harold, why are you here again?" sho asked. "Because," answered Harold, "it was impossible to stay away any longer under such worry and sus pense. 'Helen, won't you givo mo just one more chance?" "No; tho same thing would hap pen again. I am afraid to try. You must go," she said, waving her hand toward the open door. Then she sat down on a chair nearby. 'Harold went a few steps toward tho door, then stopped and asked, "May I put this ring back on your finger?" Sho only shook her head. Ile turned as If mad, and said, "I don't want this old ring; I wnnt you." With this ho knelt down at her foot and plead his case moro earnestly than ever. At first Helen refused to give him another chance, then she relented and allowed him once more to place the ring on her finger. When they separated that day tney were happy-to bo troubled no moro by drink. And such happiness they had in aller years during their married life.
