Munsey, in the New York Herald,!' c has the following to say: C "The fortune I have, such as < it is, has come primarily from ^ two sources: the forty dollars ] capital I brought with me from 1 Maine to New York forty years ago and the capacity God gave me for work. There has been no mystery, no legerdemain, no short cuts to fortune building wn'+K me T+ has been done bv fairly sound reasoning, the courage to put my conclusions to the test and by paying the price in work. "I am a thorough believer in work. I love work and I wish all Americans loved work as I love it. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. We must pay the price in thought, in care, in watchfulness, in worn?intense, even 5 n u ^ 1 yrork." i I There are a good many people in'< this part of the country who will i never build a fortune. Instead they ' have builded debts which almost ^ J overwhelm them. But they may learn ' something from Mr. Munsev's story ( if they will. There is no way to build ] fortunes, nor to pay debts, except < by being eternally at it. The pros- 1 ppcts of most people can hardly be 1 poorer than were those of Mr. Mun- ' sey when he arrived in New York 1 with only forty dollars. "Fairly j' sound reasoning," ' the courage to carry out conclusions, and "paying 5 tne price in work, rather than look-j' ing for something to turn up, will j win the day. jC _ C THE PASSING OF BLEASE |C |S Ex-Governor Blease has been a,C prominent figure in South Carolina \ politics for a long time. Though he j has been defeated several times he j has always had a large following in ^ the state. That following, like the | ^ I ^ fnllAurinn1 r\f oiliov nrvlif ii?io J XWI1V?UI6 v/A. vnuvi grows to a point of greatest strength and then recedes. When once a politician turns down the hill, he cannot come back. Even Blease is finding it r so. | When he made the race for the!' ! c third term against Manning and j Cooper and others he lacked only about 8800 votes of beating the field. It has always been Blease against the field. Tuesday he fell short of the combined vote of the I other candidates by nearly 20,000 ( s votes. This spells defeat for him in the second primary. ' I One of the things a politician never learns is that when once he is beat-1 en he is beaten forever. Blease has J made enough races to learn this | lesson, but seemingly he has not. I THE HONOR ROLL. j. i' ii In the vote in the United States Senate yesterday to pass the bonus Kill f foil nwi ri cr rlftmn^rofe unfor] against its passage: Dial, Glass, Myers, Shields, Swanson, Underwood and Williams. There are only seven of them, but we dare say that another seven cannot be picked from ; the roll of democratic senators who' so nearly represent the intelligence, ' ability and statesmanship of the party. A WORD TO THE WISE Len White and William McAllister asked today that we "put it in the paper that two little boys on Greenville .street say it is too hot for Mr. , Fulp to strat school" and he "better put it off awhile." THE PESTIFEROUS WEEVIL ' Atlanta Constitution. A great deal hu.s been written and ' said about the doings of the boll weevil. It is sometimes more interesting and profitable to talk about certain things which the boll weevil does not do. The boll weevil does not,/or example, eat or bore holes in tobacco. * The boll weevil has never been known to lunch on Georgia butter. He doesn't eat corn, nor does he zarry any terrors for the hog that fattens on it. There are lots of jther money-making products in 1 vhich weevil activity plays no part. Still we don't seem to be able to ret away from the fact that the -veevil is a pestiferous little bug t hat is doing an immense amount of , lamage in a certain direction?j lamage which might be mitigated j tnd materially reduced if we would I >nly think and talk and preach more ^ ibout what the weevil does not do. Summarizing1 the* deplorable posi;ive side of it, The Americus Timesrecorder says: "The boll weevil is destroying 30 per cent of the 1922 cotton crop and the loss is at least $300,000,000. So estimates the t department of agriculture. & When this insect first crossed the Rio Grande and invaded our country from Mexico, about < twenty-five years ago, it could 1 have been curbed and probably driven back entirely by spend ing a few million aonars. j-?e- ' lay is more costly than blunder. i Even so. Had the boll weevil i not put in his appearance the farmers of south Georgia would probably have been generations 1 learning the benefit of stock c raising and diversified farm- \ ing." In its conclusion The Times-Re:order throws out at least one hint i n the direction of weevil inactivity, i Of course we "spilled the milk," i ike the children we are, when we 1 [ailed to keep the weevil out of | American cotton patches and to I :onfine him to his native Mexican [i leath. But there's no use crying jl jver it; the thing to do is to get < nore milk. One way to do it, as Georgia is beginning to understand, is to fight < :he weevil with foods for which he ' 1 i. las no desire or taste. j> Georgia has just produced a^ splendid crop of tobacco which is' low being marketed at fair prices, j We have had a great deal of dis- j1 russion recently about the superior j 1 uialities of Georgia butter, and the.I >pportunity presented in the more!< general and extensive manufacture! >f it. The subject of corn and hogs is 11 >ne of wMch agricultural teachers ,t md preachers never seem to tire. jl These, as well as many other j i ines of agricultural activity, which i ire not concerned with the boll j veevil, when rightly handled, mean|i nore money in the bank for the pro- s lucer. J We shall, of course, continue to :s nake cotton, improving, as we go! ilong, the methods of effectively! lealing with its chief enemy. j < t> j. ---i- -?. r< il DUt wnai ueurgia uccua mv^b , i ight now is more boll weevil reme-Jf lies in the shape of tobacco, butter,!1 orn and hogs. These are the. 1 'best" enemies of the weevil, notl;ven excepting the useful and much | .ought after calcium arsenate. VtlSS CLARA LATIMER TO WED Mrs. Asbury C. Latimer has announced the engagement of her daughter Sara Alice to Mr. Clement Watson of Silver Springs,:Md. the wedding to take place October the | 11. The couple will make their home J in Washington where Mr. Watson is j practicing law. I More effective methods of hand-! ling gumbo so:ls are being develop-i ed by some of the farmers on the j Milk River reclamation project in i Montana, says tho United States! Department of Agriculture. One! conclusion is that in irrigating this j kind of soil the water should be applied frequently and :n small quantities. Much trouble in getting crops started may be overco-me by adopting a regular habit of fall plowing. The seeding of such soils to either yellow or white sweet clover in some cases is proving a means of j supplying humus and for getting' grain or alfalfa started later.
