BILLY SUNDAY HELPED Sunday School Work Gets Impetus From Evangelist's Visit York, Feb. 20.?That Billy Sun day's meeting in Spartanburg has furnished great impetus and in spiration to the Sunday School work in South Carolina is the opinion of Leon C. Palmer, state superintend ent of the South Carolina Sunday School association. Mr. Palmer is of the opinion that the coming of Mr. Sunday to Spar tanburg has been a big bost to the forces of Christianity not only in that town but throughout the state. "I notice that people in all sec tions of the state seem to be taking a greater interest in the work of the South Carolina Sunday School asso ciation," said Mr. Palmer in an in; terview recently. "Calls for the pres ence of members of our staff of Sun-1 aay scnooi worKers nave uccu uuuiei ous from various sections during the vr< part month and we attribute much of Si the renewed interest to Mr. Sunday's meeting. al "Mr. Sunday is a great believer in fi the Sunday School and he is always m eager and anxious to help the growth pr of Sunday School work in any way m possible. dc "The South Carolina Sunday th School association believes that South to Carol:na is a better state for the coming of Billy Sunday."

I co L Clemson College, Feb. 12.?That -called binders, stickers, and readers have no material merit making poison spray stick to the tton plant; that no material ad ntage seems yet to have been se red by the use of sweetened poi ns in carefully conducted experi Mits; and that calcium arsenate in st form after careful study ofi e conditions nd requirements for! ' isoning is advisable?these sum{p*" i the recommendations of the en mologisis, says Prof. A. F. Con di, in a statement on the much scussed subject of sweetened poi ns for boll weevil control. Little baby "Poison Sweet" was rn in Texas, says Prof. Conradi, ortly after the weevil crossed the o Grande in 1892. It could not rive there and had to wander stward with the weevil, because ly the residents in a newly in-1 ^ sted territory would entertain it. *yn uth Carolina is entertaining it w. Numerous formulas and recipes making sweetened poisons for 11 weevil control are being recom :nded and a number of cornmer il brands of sweetened and liquid isons are appearing on the mar t. Equally numerous devices are t forward for applying these uids and pastes. Catchy expres ins in connection with some of ese formulas include "sticker" d "secret binder," which convey e impression that these mysteri s discoveries will cause the ma rial to sitck to the plant and ro lin good until eaten by the wee . Whether the poison is applied a spray or as a dust the rate of ^nmnosition eoes forward in the ma tor ma Dy etit lyn poi am rer in tin ed in sai< by COT for Ul-( tio: usv lie? eni er the pre chj del me me manner and as a weevil poi n is completed in about four days.

The funda ental condition that makes the ray or the powder stick to the ant is fineness, and the finely srided spray or dust properly ap ied has a most effective sticking wder. Demonstrations to show the ckiness of a substance by pouring from a sprinkling pot have no mblance whatever to a natural infall where the drops travel wnwards hundreds of feet before ey strike th? plant.

In this ex- de, ariment the weather was against an e weevil, and as no evidence has j ev en secured so far that the weevil j attracted by any sweet, it may be) sumed that the weevil was at-!

Bill Grimes tried it and la*i it nothing. John Brown also says fa ! treated his seed with sulphur ob id made a crop. Now would you in .'lieve this just because John w< rown said so?
