C., us mall matter of the second class. 11 i i ii II THURSDAY, NOVKMBIftv is?. 1922. In a court in one ot the large citiei the other day a husband and his wife* asked the Judge to arbitrute' a family quarrel. The wife had asked that the husband be arrested and he hud made the customary reply?cussed a little, perhaps a good deal. The judge psked both ot them to sit with iilm on the bench for an hour or so and listen to the other cases that came before him. They sat there silently, hearing the troubles, problems and unhappiness ot $ others-, saw ?u much distresp that they were ashamed arfd apologized to the judge lor bothering him with tlielr petty dtlferences. In telling the story a New York weekly says "the best way to get rid ot our troubles is to fluri out { what other people'are suffering." AH of us have troubles, but most of us would have little to complain of if we knew what others ure bearing up under Of course it remains to be Keen whether the legislature will grant the revest which ia to made at its next session tor an appropriation to establish a boll weevil station at Florence; but since word has gono down the lino that this is the one thing to save the cotton farmers oi the State from ruin the appropriation probably will be forthcoming. A station similar To the one whicu it is proposed to erect ut Florence has been in operation in leuisiana tor several years and it has not dn?- < covered u way.to checkmate the boil] weevil's progress or to limit iho damage Hie msect is able to do ia fields of cotton it attacks, uitnougn> wt are told, tue federal government | has spent many thousands of dollars ^ in promoting experiments there and has assigned some of its best men to the work-, But those who ure behind the movement to establish the station at hloitsnce would have the people of South Carollua believe that , this sitat.on will be able to* do what the Louisiana station has not been uble t5 do. Possibly so/ but if there is room tor doubt on that score there certainly is no room for doubt thai it will provide a number of good Joes, which will last us long as there is a. boll we&vil tills side of eternity. Tuo farmers, themselves know as much, v and perhaps more, about fighting the boll weevil as the "experts' we are. told will be In charge of the Florence station. But from, time to time tit j " "experts" will seud broadcast overt tho Slate bulletins telling of . the niiuuonui ?urK uiey are ooing una there will be some consolation i.?, readiiVK the bulletina to learn whether the writers are Mood spellers. Tha bulletins will tell not what the "ex-' perta" are doing but what they shouldi he doing. Some members of the Legislature are "fed up" on the work oi "experts."' For several years the Stale has been*makihg an appropriation tor the "expert" service of the tick eradication work in some of the coast counties, and as often as the appropriation has been mpde during the last half dozen years the Legisla-1 ture has heen assured that "the work' "will be wound up in another year." Apparently the work today is aboui as fur from being wound up as it ever was. But the boll weevil appropriation is apt to be made notwithstanding the tick eradication experience of the Legislature- To be sure it may not, perhaps will not, result , beneficially tor the farmers of the . State, but it is being aponsoied by j ?newspapers which usually briug ' home the bacon when they go after an appropriation, regdrdlesa of the merit of their claims. This does not speak well either lor the Legislature > or for tha people of Soutlx.Carolina, but it is a fact nevertheless. k " Aw OM Friend Pastes.
