The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, September 3, 1913. G &?. Harmas, Editor and Publisher M. G. Sarratt, Associate Editor. Entered at the Post Office at Lexington, S. 0., as second class matter. CIRCULATION 2,300. Don't forget our fair. Everybody's indulging in it?preparing an exhibit for the coming fair It's a dicken's of a comeoff that we can only read of slit skirts and not see 'em. A head line reads, "English labo1 men restless." We do not recall when it was otherwise in these parts, If there is nothing happening ir your establishment, "for the love ol Mike," start something by advertising in the Dispatch. No matter how much money Mr, McAdoo sends down here the men who earn a livlihood by the sweat of their face wih not know the difference. Although Great Britain, Germany and France have as yet failed to indicate an intention to make exhibits at the South Carolina State fair this year, Horry, Lexington and Florence alone should send wonders of field and orchard worth a trip across a continent to see.?The State. Monday as labor day was quietly observed in Lexingion. It is a legal holiday, usually the first Monday in September, set apart in about half, we believe, of the states in token of recognition for the laborers of the country as a class. No demonstration of any kind marked the day. The postoffice observed Sunday hours, being open from 9 to 10 in the morning. - The banks were closed throughout the day and the rural carriers did not make their routes. The first issue of the Twin-County News, a clean printed and readable seven column quarto newspaper published at Leesville, made its appearance last week. Mr. W. M. Oxner, formerly of Leesville, is the editor and publisher. This makes four newspapers for this county?two at the county seat, one at Batesburg and one at Leesville. Mr. Oxner is a news paper man of wide experience and undoubtably the yenture will prove to be a credit to his town in time. We welcome him into the field and hope that he may find smooth sailing in contrast to the road traveled by the average weekly journalist of this recent date and current month. It is noted on every hand that the officers of the Lexington Oounty Fair Association are setting forth auspicious arrangements for every department of the fair this fall. It seems that more interest is being manifested by the people in almost every section of the county than ever before. Snpt. Tom Harmon and Secretary M. D. Harmsn are sanguine over the bright prospects for the association this season. Inquiries aie coming from 9tock raisers outside the county, and homemade farming implements and other commodities indispensable to the rural life are demanding that space be reserved for them at our spaciou9 fair gr unds. The demand for premium ]ist9, which are in the hands of the printer, is unprecedented and doubie the number of copies distributed last year will be required to meet the demands of the fair's constituency. Jail News. Sheriff Miller continues to bring 'em in week after week. He brought in two Drisoners from Swansea yester day who had already been tried and sentenced and left with them for the county chaingang today, which is located near Chapin. The Sheriff says the gang is doing some tine work on the roads in that vicinity. Jim Leaphart was taken into custody by Sheriff Miller Monday morning on a warrant charging him with disturbing religious worship at the colored Baptist church here Sunday night. Sheriff Miller now has 19 incarcerated in jail and says he must have anyhow before the September term of court convent s. Unclaimed Letters. List of letters remaining uncalled lor in tbis office for week ending Aug. 25, 1913: Ladies.?Mrs. Jessie Kinard. Gentlemen.?Mr. 0. A. Weniz, Mr. G. E. Cryeeman. These letters will be sent to the Dead Letter office Sept. 8. 1913, if not called for before. In culling for the above, please say "advertised,'* giving date of list. S. J. Leapheart, P, M. H. W. Barre Tells How To Prevent Wilt The following letter has been received by Harry D. Calhoun at Barnwell from Olemson college in reply to letter from him asking for information in regard to the cotton wilt. A number of farmers in that county have , lost a great deal of cotton this year from the disease, and the letter to Mr. , Calhoun should be of great interest. -- J i. ?-.11 . XL is ill part as lunuws. Clemson College, Aug. 15, 1913. Harry D. Calhoun, Barnwell, S. 0. Your letter about diseased and the dying cotton plant in your county has been delayed on account otjmy absence. The diseased or dying cotton in your county, I take it compared with other complaints over the state, that you have what is known as the cotton wilt, frequently spoken of as black root or blight, and the disease can be controlled by using varieties of cotton seed and cow peas which are a resistant to ' it. We have two varieties of cotton, the Dixie and the Dillon, which are 1 practically immune to wilt, and we ^ are planting these varieties on wilt infested lands and are securing splendid results. We find, however, another ia oaanpiaf-pri frpnnprtflv with VAVMW WWWX...... - - j J cotton wilt. This trouble is known as root knot, caused by the nematode or eel worm boring into the roots of the ' plant and causing galls or knot9 to form thereon. Root knot is prevalent on light lands and attacks all of our staple crops except corn, and small ' grain crops, and cotton that is immune to wilt is often subjected to root knot and where both troubles occur it is necessary to get rid of the root knot before trying an immune variety of cotton, and this can be done by practicing rotation of crops, leaving cotton and the ordinary peas off for two years, planting corn and Brabham'9 iron peas, and other small grain, and it would be perfectly safe then to plant Dixie or Dillon cotton seed on these lands. We are operating ab^ut 20 breeders in the state that the Dixie and Dillon cotton seeds, and our arrangements with them is $1 per bushels, and any farmer can get them by applying to this department. High School Opens. The high school opened here Mon u?^ murmur uuuer prupiuvus pruspects for a most successful term. The enrollment i9 very gratifying to the management for the first day and it is expected that many students will be enrolled as the term progresses.
