THE CORN SHOW.
The Corn Show is on at the Plant- ,
ers Bank. The exhibits are many and
they are sufficient to show that the j
farmers of Abbeville County know *
how to raise corn.' A great many^
more people have brtmght in exhib-j1
its than was expected at first, mak-j1
-? '* Viqvo mnra room. I ^
Jllg IV UCVCOO?i.jr wv *???v ?-w. s. J
The result is that the whole lobby n
v> and office space of the bank is full s
of samples of fine home grown corn, j*
County Agent Gowan and Mrs. ^
Gibbons, the County Demonstrator, Q
deserve the thanks of the people of
the county for the work they have i
v. done in promoting the enterprise, js

When corn such as is shown atj
the Corn Show can be grown in Ab- t
beville County there is little need t
to worry about the boll weevil. The P
farmers can tell him to go to !
c
well, say back to Mexico. h
OUR GOOD ROADS. t
I p
4-. ' '
The Greenville News a few days a
ago had an editorial concerning the fr
good roads in Abbeville County. Es- li
pecial notice was given of the road f
from Honea Path to Abbeville. |F
The truth is that we have come 11;
nearer getting value received for v
money spent on roads than any h
# county of which we have knowledge, jd
A few days ago a prominent citizen c<
of Greenwood spoke to us of the [
fine tfork which has been done on i
Baf-> I
our reads, saying that our roads
|; were superior to any of the newly j
'r built roads which he had seen. \lst
We have had the services of good 'c<
wian oe XTin?Vinr ntt f"1 nmmio_ _.
men *115411*
sionera and the county is greatly in- a<
debted to them for the services they w
have rendered. The pay they have^i
received for these services is but
poor pay for what they have done. !^0
! ? But they have not worked for pay.' g
We believe that each of them has as
been prompted to serve the county
on this board solely by his desire to w
1 be of public service.
The best day's work the Highway q
Commission has done since it became g,
a working organization was in se-'gj
curing the services of Engineer H. B p,
WnmVmrt Mr Wnmherf is n first. <
?. - pi
class engineer and a practical road sa
builder. He made a fine Supervisor ^
for Laurens County. He has had lit- w
tie to ?&y and some people have
thought he was slow and that the, H
I
engineer's office was spending a.jj
good deal of money. But the kind of j^r
roads built under his supervision are
sufficient to satisfy anybody that he
has been on the job and that the i w
money spent in the office of the en-jjj
gi&eer has been well spent. !te
We hope that the other roads tojtj
be built before the Highway Com-'w
mission completes its task will be asj
satisfactory as these already com-je;
pleted. If so we will have as good e(
system of dirt roads as can be built,
we believe. ??
But when we say this we would
not have^he people believe that thej
work is finished when the building j
of these roads is 'completed. Time.-y
and again we have warned the tax-! ^
payers and citizens of the county ^
that the large expenditure made for y
these roads will be next to thrown a
away unless adequate provision is j,
made by the next legislature for f
their up-keep. Already some of these, -y
roads are getting in bad shape. The^
i. defects which are now showing up t
should be speedily repaired or "<vej
will hnvp miiffholes instead of de- ..
"" ,C
fects. That much is certain. I

ABBEVILLE'S "TRUNK LINES" 1
If it were announced that a new b
railway had been completed in South a
Carolina everyone would sit up and a
take notice, but the mere news that 1<
a new highway has been finished and g
I '
ft
I
tpened to automobile traffic gets lit- Ni
,le more than passing thought. Yet
he highway will transport in many
:ases several times the traffic that a A
ailway would. Perhaps the fact that
;here are so many new highways be- al
ng opened all along accounts for the W
iisinterested receptions given them. CI
Traveling over the beautiful high-jal
ray that has just been finished be-jin
ween Honea Path and Abbeville, a 1st
listance of some 25 or 30 miles, :N

Then going on from Abbeville to ec

hat Abbeville is soon to be in the {3,

There is not in South Carolina aj

oad, designated as No. 7 by the

shed. At present a detour is necesary.

Abbeville ought to feel proud of
hese highways and the upper sec- QI
ion of the state should feel even
rouder. They establish Abbeville in
. . . so
irect communication with every
as
ounty and .town in this up-state and, ^
etter still, invite every motor car
wner to become acquainted with
he beauty of this historic city. Abeville
is the quintessence of charm, *
nd those who do not know the ^
Dwn do not know their South Carona.
The upper highway continues ^
rom Honea Path through Belton,

entures the prediction that these ^
ighways, will be worth millions of ^

MAX COMES TO TOWN.

Max Below was in town today. He ,.n
:arted to town riding on a bale of
jtton. When cotton is twenty-five ^
;nts per pound Max says he feels ev

ould walking down street with a
amond ring on his finger. !ye
But Max didn't come all the way th<
' town on the bale of cotton.' Col. wi
J. Wakefield overtook him and ra-\
iked Max to ride to town in his to(
wer. He told Max that if he didn't an
ant to ride into the business sec- tio
on that he might get out at the fal
raded School dnd walk down street. Lo
ut Max rode in. He says that Col*. ba<
im told him all about the new Do rn\
ad he is showing to the cotton hin
anters. Col. Sam told Max, so Max ed;
ys, that if the Do Dad don't save of
,e farmers, "Nothing will, I know the
hat I am talking about." za1
Max stopped at the Peoples Bank. Wl
e said he didn't want to see Uncle we
m because Jim always wants to an

0, THE BOLL WEEVIL IS NOT
PASSING.
U^Udlil VJiU VIIXVIC.
The Macon News prints an editori,
under the caption, "Is the Boll
reevil Passing?" To start with The
hronicle wishes to state emphaticly
that the boll weevil is not passg
but is here to stay, and with this
atement we will quote from The
ews in part: *
"The ginners' report for Washing>n
county shows that almost 1,000
ore bales of cotton have been rais1
in that county during the past
lason than for last year, although
smaller acreage was planted.
"On October 18, 1921, the numjr
of bales ginned amounted to
526, and on the same date this
2ar the number was 4,419, which,
be accurate, is an increase of 983.
"We are also told that the farm's
of Washington county used little
ilcium arsenate this year.
"The question has begun to arise
the minds of a number of students
' amn'onltni-al if the hnll
a^nvunuiu.
eevil is not passing away. This has
ien the history of almost every pest
at has afflicted agriculture in the
ist. Neither -in the field nor 'the orlard
are there any great number
insect enemies that made inroads
i our crops a generation ago. Soonor
later, by a wide provision of
iture, a pest which otherwise would
jrk universal ruin encounters a
itural enemy and is kept in check
' perhaps passes away entirely.
"Of course the chances are that
me other bug will come along, just
, the pink boll worm is following in
e wake of the boll weevil, but
ere are at least signs that substanil
relief may come from the one
ist which has done more to hamper
e South's cotton crop than anying
that has ever developed.
"We are gratified to know that the
rmers of Washington county will
ceive several thousand dollars more
r their cotton crop this year than
ey did last year, and we hope that
e same conditions prevail in proton
all over the State. It would
ean a greater degree of prosperity
an we had counted upon.'
What the News has to say in rerd
to other pests that have afflictagriculture
passing is perhaps j
le, but there is no sign that then
]1 weevil is going to pass and we
ve an idea that he is with us forer,
certainly for as long a time as
tton is planted in the South.
The weevil entered Texas many
ars ago and is still there, although
j very hot summers and very cold
nters in that state' cuts down his
/apes to a great extent and then,
), Texas rainfalls is less than ours
d the weevil thrives most in a secn
with a high percentage of rain1.
Ever since the weevil entered
uisiana and Mississippi he has been
d and there is no lessening of his
rages unless the farmers combat
(i with every known scientific remy.
Cotton can be raised in the delta
the Mississippi as it was before
s weevil when there is high fertilition,
rapid working, poisoning, etc.
len there is a very wet summer
do not believe that it is possible
ywhv.J to make anything like a
rmal yield.
The Chronicle believes that it is
ssible with a very dry summer to
*ke cotton without 'poisoning, but
is not safe to try it. There hdve'
en some good yields made in this
:tion without poisoning this year,
t these spots were favored with
;s rain than others and the farm3
who made these good yields with-;
t nftifloninc would have made much
>re with poisoning.
Now as for the boll weevil passing,
ere is no hope fot it. We regret
at a paper like the Macon News
>uld encourage such an idea. We do
it know the exact reason why
pshington county made nearly 1,i'
"iale3 more than last year but it
ts probably due to more intellint
farming, which includes poisonET,
high fertilization, rapid cultition,
etc., plus at least fairly fav?iKie
weather.
We would advise our farmers not
he thrown off their guard by any
ch thought as the passing of the
ill weevil, but to prepare xo ngnt
m to the limit and make cotton in
ite of him.
We have just completed arrangeents
with the manufacturers to
;rnish us with special orde'rs for
irty favors, in either stock designs,
to suit any special occasions. We
