BOLL WEEVIL NOW T IN SALUDA GOUNTY? HAS EXCITED THE FARMERS All Opinions Agree That Hug Shown is Genuine Cotton Boll Weevil. Saluda, Nov. 6.?From best information obtainable here it seems that Saluda county has been honored by the first visit of the boll weevil in thu. 1 State. An Insect, believed to be a boll weevil, was on exhibition here Saturday and caused a ?reat amount ut uiscussion anil comment among tbose who saw or heard of it. It was brought to town in a bottle by Arthur Rushton. of the Coleman's Cross Roads section, a few miles from town. Mr. Rushton says that 1 he found it in his cotton and that he ' has plenty more like them. He further states that the boll weevil, or whatever the bug may be. did considerable damage to his cotton crop this year. From the statement of Mr. Rush- ! ton the bug works like the weevil and is very destructive to cotton. Many who have seen boll weevils ex- ' amined the insect here today and pronounced it a genuine boll weevil. Some specimens recently brought here from Alabama were compared with this Saluda county bug and they could not be told apart. Although they differed some in color, they wen about the same size and shape, and It was noticed that even the weevils which all came from Alabama differed among themselves in shades of color. The insect brought here was shown to B. B. Hare, of the United States Department of Agriculture, and he pronounced it as his belief that It was a genuine boll weevil, although he stated that he was not an authority on the boll weevil. Others to whom it was shown believed that it was a variety of the boll borer or stingaree which bores into cotton bolls and kills them after they are nearly grown. C., S. Patrick, county <viy,*m demonstration agent, was not fn town todav and has not vet had < the opportunity to pass judgment on the insect. 1 Everybody who saw the weevil , aid that it looked like all the pie ; tures they had ever seen of the boll ' weevil, and others who had seen ' i specimens from other States gave it ( as their belief that it was the same i thing. Mr. Rushton says that it is 1 the next thing to it, and can vie j with the boll weevil in damage to the cotton crop. Saluda county farmers are expect- 1 irg the weevil within the next few ( years but are not prepared to receive ] him with open arms just at the pres- i ent, and the finding of this boll wee- 1 vil, or near-boll weevil this early came as a bomb among the farmers An effort will be made at once to discover the true identity of this insect, and those who saw it today are hoping against hope that this will prove to be some entirely difTereni species of bug. say's drink water IF YOU WISH TO GROW FAT AND PLUMP THIN MEN AND WOMEN Do You Want to (Jet Fat and Re Strong? The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weigni is mai mt-y insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing It with greasy foods; rubbing on useless "flesh cream," or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract properly assimulates the food you eat. Drink a glass of cold water four or five times a day and tnke the following preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere, which seemingly embodies the missing elements needed by the diges tive organs to hep them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called tonoline, and much remarkable testimony is given as to its successful use in flesh building. Tonoline which comes in the form of a small non-injurious tablet, taken at meals and mixed with the digestive food, tends to prepare fat, a -U Knil/ltnn ^1**. urni 1 nuu mum ir ?/uiiMiiips cicuiciua nu that the blood can readily accept and carry' them to the atarved portion of the body.

Caution: Tonollne is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results In cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been reported, care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired.?Adv. f THE SOUTH SPENDING ?54). 000,004) A YEAH ON KOADK. Detailed reports compiled tor The Manufacturers Record from govern-! ment figures which will shortly be! issued show that during 1915 the South spent over $50,000,000 upon highway work, or an increase com-) pared with 1904 of 448 per cent.j This section is spending annually' two-thirds as much as the $75,000.-] 000 which the government recently! voted to spend during the next five! years in co-operation with all the] States in the Union.

This is typical of the spirit with', which the South is pushing its road-! construction activities. The statis tics given in our Washington cor-1 respondence on the subject would show that in the aggregate there was expended in 1015 upon the rural roads and bridges of the United I States $282,000,000. of which more than $50,000,000 was expended b> the South. This will show something of what is being done toward chang-j ing our whole country oy supplant-j ing impassable mud and sand roads by great National highways. everyone should drink glass of water to clean kidneys.

The function of the1 kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24' hours they strain from it 500 grains ' of acid and waste, so we can readily i understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of water?you can't irink too much; also get from your f druggist about one dozen 5 grain < kidneco tablets, take one tablet be- ? fore each iueal and at bedtime with a glp.ss of water for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This fa-| nious remedy is made from perfectly < harmless ingredients and acts > luickly, and has been used for gen- ( ^rations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer Is * a source of irritation, thus ending r bladder weakness. ( Kidneco is inexpensive, cannot in- . lure, make no mistake, insist on ked- 1 aero which everyone should take ' now and then to keep their kidneys ! clean and active.

HOl'SKWIVKS TO AWAltD MTJDAIjS AM) CKHTIFICATKS Washington, Nov. in.?Washington is treading on the edge of a volcano. The eruption is due November 15 when housewives of the nation's capital will undertake to decide the question: "Who has the perfect servant girl?" Mrs. Court F. Wood, president of the District of Columbia Federation of Women's clubs, and Mrs. J. Edison Briggs, chairman of the homo economics committee, have asked all women in Washington who employ cooks and maids to help complete a "Who's Who of Domestics," for Washington. The plan is to oOer awards to domestics of longest service in a single family and another for the one longest in the service of a family through two ore more generations. For fear, apparently, that there may be difficulty in finding such a specimen of perfect hunmanity. a third prize, consisting of a certificate of merit, is to be offered to all domestics who have been in the service of one family for five years or more. The competition is designated to show domestics that their work is appreciated, also to emphasize in the umiun hi riuiiiuyera me necessity rot Rood treatment of servants. Testimony from housewives who have attained that magic "something" which enables them to keep the elusive servant girl for more than a week at a time, is expected to furnish valuable pointers for less fortunate women who have had to prepare a meal on the spur of the moment when a dissatisfied cook left without notice. Already many entries have been tiled and are being tabulated. Wash-, ingfon is agog to learn the name and pedigree of the perfect servant. t Albert gives >kers such ght, because I vor is so different and so Lilly good; i't bite your tongue t't parch your throat; ran smoke it as long and i*i .i aa you tine wunout any ck but real tobacco hapI reverse side of every Princ? ckage you will read: * PROCESS PATENTED JULY 30th, 1907" ns to you a lot of tobacco enPrince Albert has always been out coupons or premiums.
