.PICKENS MAY GET ANOTHEI
COTTON MILL
Iuke Interests Will Be Offered In
ducenents to Build New Mill Here
Reliable information from Nevi
York last week stated that the J. B
Duke interests have about perfecter
plans for building a string of cottor
mills in the South and would spenr
about $50,000,000 in the project. Th<
mills will undoubtedly be built wher
they may be reached by the Southerr
Power Co. which is owned by th(
Duke interests.
It is believed here that the towr
of Pickens stands a good chance t(
get one of these new mills. Certainly
Pickens is a most favorable location
for such an enterprise.
Pickens can offer several fine loca
tions at unusually low prices.
Our pure and plentiful water sup
ply, natural drainage and fine health
conditions would no doubt receive the
most favorable consideration.
But probably the biggest factor in
A' our favor is the plentiful supply of
native white labor of the very best
type which Pickens county has to
offcr. That the class of labor Pick
ens county has to offer is the best
in the world has been amply proved.
Pickens people would also subscribe
liberally to the stock of the mill if
asked to (1o so.
Another large cotton mill for Pick
ens would mean great things for the
town and cntire upper section of the
county.
The Sentinel suggests that the loc.al
chamber of commerce call a mass
4 meeting of citizens to discuss the mat
ter and bring the advantages offered
here to the attention of the Duke in
terests.
With another cotton mill, a South
ern Power Co. line, a railroad to Jo
cassee, the trans-niountain highway
and good roads radiating in every
dircetic.::; Pickens wcult soon develop
4 into the city it ought to be. What
y you, gentle.nen?

Cooper
Erskine
Dalle=
Pioneer
By JOHN FOX, JR.
Distinctly a Cooper character
is this highly interesting fron..
tiersman-trapper,bhunter,guide,
soldier-in whose veins flowed
the undiluted blood of Vir
ginia's proudest, but whose boy
hood had been spent entirely
among the Indians.
Erskine Dale spoke a little
French, less English, but was
fluent in the Shawnee dialect
when fate called him back to
the home of his ancestors. We
witness a surprising unfoldment
of the character and ability
that had been submerged by
his savage training. He speed
ily became more than a match
for the gallants of the time
Colonial~days -in every sort of
contest, even to the winning
of hearts.
It is a stirring tale of romance
and adventure in pioneer times,
especially commended by its
fine patriotism.

with the hapbiness and welfare of a
the people. I am not c(;nltecel (1

In this article I .'ish to set fort
what is in my .iudlgm11en1t the chit
task with which tht 111eole of Plicl
(ens county anl tiltatitte ll Sout
Carolina is confronted, namely; th
improvement, of our lice schools.
I do not need to argue that th
e'iuentioni of a very lartg'e natiorit
ofi ou.r chlildlren is en1ti'etly tolo mue"

HOW BOLL WEEVIL CAN BE
POISONED -
Clemson College, June 30.-For the
purpose of summing up in convenient
form the recommendations of the Ex
tension Service regarding boll weevil
control this year, Information Card
No. 22, entitled "Boll Weevil Control
in 1922," has been issued and may be
had upon application from the Ex
tension1 Service, Clemson College, S.
C., or from the county agents.
This brief publication gives seven
points in t!'e matter of control o-f the
weevil, these be-ng re-statements of
the suggestions made from time to
time by the Extension Service. They
have to (1o with cultivation, pickin;
ef weevils and squares, poisoning,
pl'Iwing uncler stalks as early as pos.
sible :n the fall, planting cover crops
e fter cotton. and practicing clean
farming to destroy boll weevil hiber
r:at ion laces.
Advice As to Poisoning
''the acdv ice given on the informa
tion card as to poisoning 's quoted
below:

reasoniably faverable we ather condi
tions.
Information in r( ward to mach ' es
aInd (tc.alnm a rscnatt miay he obtaine(I
from the county agent s.
The only p'ritabl r'e. uIts so far
secured .n carefully cIlstru cled tests
by federal and stat anencies were
securtd by the use of eaiciun arsen
ate in dust forn pt:re perly applied.
Poison only when the air is calm
and the plants are neist. using' from
five to s( veni pulidils pi4i' acre for each
application. When wetvils are abun
dant when fruiting of cotton betri ns,
one application may be made at that
t'me. Use no calcium arainate that
has not, been exam ined by federal or
state authorit it s and pronounced
satisfactory. The next application
should be made lhn the weevil;
have punctured from teii to fifteen
per cent of the squares, followed by
two additional appliication four days
apart. Infest it attut coun':. -h-mi d be
made frequ ntly and can be made by
any farimeri who follows the simple
direct:(rms furnished uipoll application.
The object is to keep the cotton
thoroughly (lust( d until the Weevils
are under control. This may require
a varying number of apoliettions ot
poisionI, depending on the season, and
ether conditions. If weevils should
become sufficiently numerous to sev
crely :lljur the young bolls, one or
two more applications late in the
season shouldl be made.
In case of heavy rain within twenty
four hours after dusting, the aplhica..
tion .should lhe repeated immediately.
Always a carefully selected llot of
cotton shiculdI 1)e left uinpoisoned for*
comparison with the ad~joining p~o-son..
