THE HO!iii WJEEY1L?
Ila-; tho boll weevil roached noo
nee at last in force.' Thai is a
question that is bothering not a few
ef the farmers of tho county at pres
et.!. We are not sutUeiently well
vers. 1 in the mattet ol' bugology to
Btale thal hereafter Oconee will have
te le against Ibo boll weevil, but
it i- cei tain thal this year some of
our farmers are up against a propo
sition which, if not tho weevil
pl.. te, ls ipi il e as serious.
li. s. Davis left in Tito Courier
Unico yesterday a boll of colton, just
on tile verne ol opening, but on ex
amination the boil shows that it is
tl pn nature opening, due to the
di i ol' t he boll ral her t han to ina
iurlty. On cutting this boll open
fun Pius ami they resemble tho
boll wcovil, though considerably lar
ger than the weevils WO have h?te

square being completely "gutted,"
with work' well on Ibo way on the

timi Mr. Davis stales that Longstreet
la about I ? or I acres in the tract
affected, and thal the destruction is
go'n ; on all over the Held, lt is ev- ,
idenl that, whether or not we are

the beginning of a war on -.onie in
