ANOTHER WAY TO GET
RID OF BOLL WEEVI1
McCormick County Farmer Plant
Farm in Truck and Makes
Splendid Success.
,
j McCormick County does not pro
I po^e to be worsted by the boll weevi!
In that neck of the woods they use*
to plant a farm of cotton and j
J "patch" of cabbage; but C. E. Wilki
j lives four miles from the town o
j McCormick on the Plum Branch roa
and has planted his farm in trucl
this year and only a."patch" of cot
ton.
He brought to the city of Abbe
ville yesterday a ton of the fines
cabbage. They were sacked in jut
bagging and sold to the merchant
here by the pound. He uses a moto:
truck for travel, and an oilclotl
I cover as a protection from the weath
;er. From the 3% acres planted ii
cabbage he has sold $500 to date an<
expects to make $800 clear profit or
this one crop alone.
1 Mr. Wilkie has two and a hall
acres planted in fall Irish potatoes
the Lookout Mountain variety, anc
will get about 200 bushels to th<
acre on this crop. Some of these will
sell as low as $1.80 a bushel anc
others will bring as high as $2.5C
a bushel, which should net hira
$1,000 on the fall crop of potatoes.
He has beans and other crops in
proportion. Several days ago he sold
400 lbs. of beans at one time in
Greenwood.
Everything made on his farm
is practically clear profit, as he hires
only one wages hand. He keeps three
cows, a pair of mules, makes all oi
the feed used for the stock, and all
of the meat, flour and general rations
for his family at home. There
are undoubtedly other gold mii\es in
McCormick ^Jounty than the old Dorr
mines, if the owners will get busj
and dig the gold out of the ground
Mr. Wilkie learned to grow cabbage
in North Carolina. He move<J
to McCormick County .from neai
Hendersonville several years ago anc
bought tjiis 54 acre farm, in partner
ship with his brother, from Clarenc<
Crawford, and is making a succes;
of 'farming.
Being questioned as to the finesl
production on his farm, he was ab
solutely right when he replied "M]
six children, the oldest of whom i:
twelve." There you have a world o:
truth in a few words.
If it costs as much to fight the bol
weevil whether cotton yields on<
bale or a third of a bale per acre
what's the answer? Build the .soil.

ures show a machine for every foui
and a half persons.

HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
L IN MINE EXPLOSION
s Believed That List of Victims Will
Total Fifty?Thirty Survivor#
Taken to Hospital.
>- Spangler, Pa., Nov. 7.?More than
1. 50 miners are believed to have lost
i: their lives in an explosion- in Reilly
a J mine of the Reilly Coal company
e j near here yesterday morning. Ex
f ploration of the workings by trained
d rescuers was being continued tok
night. None of the dead had been
> brought to the surface at 10:30
o'clock.
-I Thirty survivors of the explosion,
t'most of them young men, lay on a
e double row of cots in the miners'
s hospital here tonight anxiously watch
r ing the entrance to the big room.
1 They were the known survivors of
- the 94 miners who went into the
i mine this morning a few minutes
1 J before a terrific explosion. The
i! exact number of dead was still unI
determined although it was the opinl
ion of trained rescue leaders that
, perhaps 50 or 60 had lost their lives.
I Their vigil began when the first
!(eight were brought to the hospital.
II The entrance of the stretcher bearers
I meant that another comrade had
> I been dragged from an underground
t sea of gas.
At 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning
II the explosion occurred in the heart
[ of the mine. As soon as miners from
i neighboring pits could reach the
mine preliminary work of rescue bei
gan and it was supplemented later in
i the day by trained engineers from
! the United States bureau of mines
: in Pittsburgh and the rescue crews
1 vf neighboring mines.
The rescue men all told the same
story as th%y came to the surface,
i They declared bodies were scattered
i through the workings for more than
r 500 feet.
"The sad part of it," said one
sturdy miner, "is that at least 20 of
I the victims were within 100 feet of j
r fresh air when they were overcome
1 by the gas."
'Every effort tonight was being
i made to locate all of the living. As
J soon as that has been done the work
of removing the dead will commence.
