Senator Wat?ionV Will to Be Probated November Court. , Thomson, Ga., Oct. 9.-.The will -, of the late Senator Thomas E. Wat son will be offered for probate at the November term of the ordinary's .rcpnrt of McDuffie county, when Mr. B. J. Stephens is expected to qual ify as executor. It is understood here from reliable authority that Sena tor Watson bequeathed ? Mrs. Alice Louise Lytle, managing editor of his paper, The Columbia" Sentinel, two tracts of land aggregating some 200 or more acres, a house oh the Wat son premises at Thomson back of the senator's own home, and.$30 per week income,from his estate, the be quest, however, to revert to the estate in the event Mrs. Lytle marries , again. " > It is understood that the provi sions of the will in regard to Mrs Lytle are not altogether satisfactory to Mrs. Watson,' although she has not authorized any statement to the effect that she will contest the will. In fact, no one knows the what Mrs. Watson will do, if she does anything, although she is said as stated, to be displeased with the. provisions for Mrs. Lytle, feeling it is said, that' they are excessive. No statements.will be made by any of those directly or indirectly con cerned, Ordinary Lokey, Mr. Stephens and others declining to make state ments on the matter. "As Useless as <Worry." Instead of saying, as the popular expression goes; that anything is' "as useless as a vermiform appen . dix," wby>not exclaim, ^'as useless as worry?" For in the world of unnec essary and superfluous things, nothing | is comparable to worry. Its existence has never..been explained unless, on the principle that it is ah ill wind ? that blows nobody any good, it aids the undertaken. That it is a positive disease to the wind nad body there can be no doubt. Even so' eminent a body as the North Carolina Board of Health says "worry is abnormal, arid therefore injurious to health. It weakens,the mental forces b,y tiring them out by doing nothing. It never gets anywhere^ It is mental labor for nothing." ? , ' . ? This is a severe indictment of this common ailment, but there's a path-i ological side of it too, as the health | board statement explains: ; "The effect of chronic worry on J health is almost that of poison. It not j only disturbs the mind and perverts mental vision, but it disturbs the nat- j ural functions of the body, causing1 indigestion, poor nutrition, and neu rasthenia. It often produces a con dition of the bowels that favors con stipation- with all pf its attendant evils. It undermines health,: and is at all times a great menace to both mental and physical health. For most people, worry .is largely a habit that can be avoided. Often times when reason is applied to wor :ry, worry vanishes, which is to say .:hat there ' is seldom a reason for /'worry. Strange to say, the things that people should worry over most worry them least. However, people can, by firmly, resolving not .to wor ry, and by looking at the physical and mental results, of worry, do much towards living a saner, happier, healthier life." Take this advice of one of the best boards of health in the country and quit worrying. You will do better in your business, your family will love you more and your neighbors will tolerate you. Don't follow the prece dent of many people wh? are now in theil' grave but who might be living today if they hadn't killed themselves* worrying about things that'never happened.-Greenville News? now TO xllve Quinine To Chfidreu.

"Widespread success in "boll we control," is the inspiring title of article sent out by the Soil Impr< nient committee of the South Fertilizer Association; whose h< quarters are in Atlanta. The article describes 302 sepal tests in the use of calcium arser as a means of fighting the boll.v vii, and declares that "without exception, the 302 tests have dem strated that calcium arsenate can used, successfully in boll weevil c trol. This too, under all the vai conditions of soil, climate, variety cotton, and different cultural nu ods existing throught'the Southeaj The test's are made under, var conditions throughout ) the belt, acres of colton being, set aside each test, five''being treated w calcium arsenate dust, and the ot five acres being left untreated.' ' The committee appears to hi reached the conclusion, as a result these and other tests and investi) tions, that the arsenate in dust fo has proved more effective and m< satisfactory.?generally than arsens in molasses which was advocated many'1 during the early part of i season in this section. As a result of the use of arsena the farmers of the South are maki preparations to use the poison, on greatly enlarged scale next year, the state of Georgia, for instance) 1921 less than ten carloads ?f ? senate were-used; in 1922, '139"cs loads were applied, and from report the demand of Georgia alone will e ceed 300 cars next year. "The su cess of the dusting method has be? so general that farmers who had qu cotton growing are already orderii calciiim arsenate" for next year says this article, "and many *wl tried other methods have come no to a determinatoin tb use the dust This is certainly encouraging nev for the cotton industry, and.indic?ti that perhaps with proper methot of using poison, the bpll weevil ma cease to be the dreaded destructioi ist that it once was; that by prop? methods we can still produce the ste pie profitably and that the cotto growing industry has not yet passe /but. . Tn addition to using ?he poisoi however, the committee declares tha "this is the time to kill,, next year" crop of boll weevils. Uproot the col ton stalks and destroy .the weevil' food at once. This will comp?l th weevils to . do without food longe during; hibernation and starve then practically all, to death. Kill the cot ton stalks.''-?reenville News. :-;-!-- .

Felton, "Georgia's grand old woman," to fill out the in terim in the United States senate^ between the death of Senator Torn Watson and the election of- ? suer cessor, is the most interesting news; development of the day. The fact that Mrs.. Felton will serve -emly a month does not lessen the distinction:! the Cracker state. receives in send ing the first woman to the senate. It gives Georgia much publicity and it is better publicity, than the kind Mrs.' Felton's predecessor often produced. Mrs. Felton is 87 years old/ but she is not senile 'and has the sanie virility that has characterized her long asosciation with Georgia politi cal affairs. Her husband, who is now dead, spent much of ' his life dabbling in politics and it was his participation probably that led Mrs. Felton into the game. She was one of the original woman suffrage ad vocates in Georgia and championed. the cause vigorously. She has been a keen political observer and is said to be-, as well versed in government and history as any man who has held political office from the state. From* I a humble home wher? the 'vines en-| twine her porch she has looked be yond her front yard and realized an.) honor that has not- been bestowed upon any other woman. "Georgia's grand,old woman" will not. be . able to reform the senate in thirty days, but her presence will be a reminder of the new order of things and will cause some little] thinking by the gentlemen who. look- j ed with disfavor upon the enfran-. caising of woman.-Greenville New? ; No Newberryism Here. Ex-Senator Cornelius Cole declar-r j ed recently in discussing the subject of Newberryism, or the obtainment of . seats in Congress through the lav ish expenditure of money, that when1 he was - elected senator f br the first time his expense account was a total! blank. He didn't pay a copper to get elected. There hasn't been much digression from this record in South Carolina, despite the fact that in other states it isn't uncommon for candidates: to spend $50,000 or 810,000 to per suade the voters to send them to Washington. In the congressional race in this state . only one of the candidates spent more than $200 be the pledge fee, and that was W. Tur ner Logan of Charleston,, whose, ex-'.l penses were $1,089. That, however,'[ would be inconsequential in Penn sylvania or ? Illinois. 'Representative'] Bampton Fulmer of the Seventh' Dis trict, p'aid $198:63 tp get elected, ex-i eluding, of course the campaign, fee; which was $200. All pf the money expended by Mr. ..Fulmer was for newspaper edvertising except $1.50 to "Jim Jacobs for gasoline." No one will begrudge a candidate five gallons of "gas" to ride among his constituents. The truth is that Newberryism has. not become and is not likely to be come an evil in South 'Carolina be cause no man in this state cay buy^ his way into office. A candidate who is capable of being elected does not need financial stimulation beyond a small outlay for advertising and traveling purposes, and a candidate whom the'people don't want cannot buy his way into- office, no matter^ how much wealth he dissipates. Those who have tried ,it. have awakened ons the morning after election "sadder, but wiser men."-Greenville News. Trespass Notice.
