He determined to prevent the invdsioA of his one and one-half horse farjp. He thought hard and earnestly. *Eureka! , The prominent man, in describing George said: '0 -1 "I heard that George Moore had raised ten bales of cotton on his small furm whun his neighbors. many of them the most successful farmers of the Cokesbury section, were.disas? trous fuilures. The b^l weevil * had literally devoured their cottpn bolls. "I was somewhat- skept^al and investigated. I dieoolerwl ttint jthe hdgro had. indeed produced ^he rfrtiount of cotton stated. I inquired how lie did it. ? ... " 'Well, boss,' replied the darkey, '! heared about dem weevils, > and I thought out a scheme to woik again* * 'em. I bought a dollar and a. half of flypaper and spread it at bq^h ends of colton rows. I _ declare in the morning, dent pape^was Jp ,?lvvered wid dera weevils dat yo' couldn't see 'em. T den burned 'eVi and put down new 'uns. It sho* was de t'lng.''" The Greenwood man said he talked to negroes around George Moore's farm and they verified what the negro stated, about the number of bales of cotton produced and the use of the flypaper. Whether the use of the flypaper reduced the Humber of weevils he was doubtful, butt the physical fact . remained that the m<in had ten bales of cotton. This man said that the r.mall red ant would attack and eat the weevil. He said that when the boll cracked, they would crawl in and destroy the insect, preventing it laying eggs. t "And," he continued, "in aU my experience I have never sben mi many, red ants as are on my farms." The writ or nrougnt m ms .muih.i.mi an observation bo had made, after being: told some time ago that English sparrows were eating boll weevils. Sparrows arc leaving the to\vns and cities. This is the observation of many others when the matter is hroarhed. Farmers from various sections of the state, when questioned along this line, invariably say that they have never seen as many of the hitherto despised birds on the farms as during this season. Hull weevil conditions are serious in parts of Greenwood and MeCormick counties. The farmers have raised meager cotton crops which they have almost entirely depended upon for their money. However thq, people are not taking a pessimisiic view 01 me situation, saying that this is the time not to Rive up, hut. with fortitude and courage work out their problems. The writer heard the worst example of boll weevil ravage yesterday at Greenwood fit- had listened'fo?and he has heard many tales of \Ybe. ' A large* fanner of Greenwood county ..who has six tenant families on one of ids farms was forced to relinquish' rent. All six tenants, when they piqkod their cotton, had one 425-pound bate between them. \ Greenwood is attempting to work out its problem. One. of the initial steps lias been the establishment of a creamery to take ufi the subjoins milk of the fanners of the surrounding territory. The company if*: already formed, lias :t capitalization $10,000 and behind it are some of the most substantial and intelligently progressive business men of the city. This is tmt one of the many plants of reconstruction that that wide-a-wakc roniunity comtempiates. REPAIR SHIPS BUSY Being Utilized by Navy for Purposes of Economy. Naval retrenchment is bob g\ put lain practice with the utilization of naval repair ships in tlie salvage of old battleships and otherwise materially (insisting in the countless jebs which ordinarily have gone to navy yards, relates a New York dispatch. It has been the cystom heretofore r to ailcKv repair slaps to undertake small necessary jobs for the fleets only when they were anchored far from nyvy yards or other land bases. Through the rearrangement of ship t repair allotments it^fiow nns oecn found practical to have these indispensil>le "mother" ships do much more than wius formerly required of them. So henceforth they will spend long periods in the navy yards and, it is expected, effect economies in naval work. The Prometheus. Atlantic fleet re(Ki.ii* ship, and the Black Hawk, flotilla repair ship, are ljing.in the New York navy yard, after h.tVing engaged in dismantling the pre-dreadriaughts which cruised around the wbrld in 190S and are now lying out of commission in the Philadelphia navy yard. Machinery, motors, blowers, searchlights, telephones, copper1 coble, and even furniture, which may have future usefulness, have been removed and brought here from Philadelphia to be used in the outfitting of the Great f Northern as the flagship of the Atlantic fleet. , Extensive alterations are to be made ? *> - ti-Wh a fnrCO j Dy me riuiiiciucuii, ...... ? of 250 artificers.

Mitchell's letter to the governor was written, following a Meeting of i the Charleston ministers, - when the chaplnln made his complaint of conditions. Chaplain Day referred to a | statement made some time ago by Admiral Anderson, to the effect that unless the Christian men of Charleston saw to It that the city was cleaned up the.fleet would be taken away. ?

Caste dominates it, and caste is stronger than all the armies and all the navies the world has ever seen. From a political standpoint, the negro is as much a slave to the C# O. P. in 1921 as be was physically a slave to his white master in 1851. That is a cancer ontt.he body politics.
