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.

IF YOU WISH TO GROW

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,

Caution: Tonollne is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while

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.
Under this hill- helnful i* Hat'
been in co-ordinating the road-con-.
Btruction activities of the country?I
and that is the most important feature
of it?Florida, for Instance, will
secure during the next five years an
aggregate of aoout $850,000, while!
one county In that State recently
voted a bond issue of $1,500,000 for
road work, which is utmost double
the entire amount that the State wi'
receive from the National govern
tnent for road work during the next
five years.
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.

If Your Hack Hurts or Bladder

When your kidneys hurt and your)
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a

and irritate the entire urinary tract.j,
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keeD vour bowels clean, bv flushing I
them with cold water and kidneco 1
which removes the body's urinous i
waste and stimulate them to their ,
normal activity. 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. Try this, also r
keep up the water drinking and no .
doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and back- ^
ache.?Adv. >

The familiar hymn beginning "(;ou ,

as "Oowper's Hymn," had its origin
as follows; Coper was all his life
the victim of melancholia, and more
than once attempted suicide. One
day, bent upon destroying himself, he
got into a cab and ordereo the driver!
to take him to a certain point on the
river, where he intended to drownj

strange appearance and fearing thai
all might not be right with him,^
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front of the poet's door, j

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.
