Cleveland Star, (Shelby), July 11: The many friends throughout the county were greatly shocked to learn of the death of Mr. William Ellis of Earl, who passed away Friday morning at 3:15 at the Charlotte sanatorium, where he had been a patient since the preceding Monday, taking treatment for Bright's disease front which he had been a great sufferer for several years When Mr. \V. N. Blanton, highway commissioner of No. 3 township, was returning to his home yesterday morning a young fellow named Hunt of Casar, ran into his horse and buggy with a truck, resulting in slight Injuries to the horse and crushing a buggy wheel. The accident happened in South Shelby. Young Hunt admitted that he was looking for a passing train when the truck struck the buggy Word has been received here that a son of Noah McMurry was drowned Sunday near Elerboe Springs in central Carolina. Details could not be learned. Jap l'utnum, a brother-in-law of the boy's t 'ther, went to Elerbee Springs to at | tend the funeral ....Mr. Luther A. I Padfc'-tt, mie of the.leading: citizens of Cleveland county, died Sunday afternoon at his home in the Lattimore section, following a brief illness. He suffered a rather severe stroke of pa- j ralysis a few years ago and while he | recovered from the immediate effects ! of the stroke, he never regained the I ?me of his limbs, and he was never able to walk alone The Union Trust company, Shelby's newest banking Institution, has purchased the ' Lattimore brunch of th'e Farmers j Bank and Trust company, which has headquarters at Forest City and will continue business at the same stand with the former assistant cashier, Mr. i Carl B. Wilson, in charge. The Union i Trust company has elected Dr. L.

Last week he took 200 samples to Charlotte for grading and when the samples wore opened in the Sanders and Orr office boll weevils were found. It is supposed that the weevil eggs were ! deposited in the cotton bagging last | year and hatched out this spring. The ' few samples in which the weevils j were discovered came from the planj tation of Sam Lattimcre. The World's Greatest Dam.?I'lans I have been made to build a dam on the [ v oiuraoo river which win iiohi uacs s I volume of water equal to two years' ; flow of the entire 1,800 miles of rushing river. The dam is 10 he 700 feet high, approximately the height of the Woohvorth building in Xew York city. The dam will form a reservoir with an area of 200 square miles and an average depth of 350 feet. This body of water will constitute the largest artificial lake in the world. On western railroad system is already planning to operate a fleet of steamers to carry tourists over this man-made lake to the (hand canyon, the wonder spot of America. The Panama canal is the only undertaking ever attempted in America which may be compared in magnitude or boldness of conception to this engineering project, which will ' transform an empire of waste into a region of productivity.?World's Work.

" *" COMMON SENSE COMMENT Georgia Expert Biscusses^ho Io soniitg Problem. IS AGAINST THE MOLASSES METHOD Necessary to F.nsure Fruitfulness Not On'y of Cotton But of All Other Plants, Including Trees. N*. L. Willet in Augusta Chronicle. ( A man said to me this week "Some of my neighbors used on the small cotton with three or four leaves m<>- j lasses but nobody in my nt ighborhood is or will use molasses on big cotton." j Another man said "My-whole neighborhood has lost through molasses poison- ! ing all of her bees." I reported last ! week one big bee man as having lost , all of his and another man ten days { ago who had lost all of his, even more ] than fifty hives. Another nun brougnt me Saturday a cotton boll with a cotton boll worm 111 it ana sam | that his cotton was badly infested with them. Molasses or Pollenization?Which? The molasses method is almost J wholly a local Augusta section mat- j ter. Without any doubt the question today is "S'hall it be molasses or pollenization Insects?" The principal industry in Turkey is the Smyrna fig. but the Smyrna lig brought to California wouldn't reproduce there until a very small insect from Turkey that pollcnizes this tig was imported. A large number of our flowers and practically all of our orchard flowers have their pollenization done not by the wind nor by self-pollcnization but by bees and other nectar seeking in- i si'ftx These nectar seeking insects) are today being annihilated by molasses in wholesale quantities; and if molasses is kept up we may expect them all to be wiped out. Cross Pollenization. These insects not only pollenize plants but they do something even more important, perhaps, that is, they cross fertilize or cross pollenize?this j being the opposite of what the farmer | knows as in-breeding. In-breeding is Just as injurious to- plants as to animals. Cross pollenization, that is. bringing pollen from one plant to another plant, freshens and strengthens and invigorates and vitalizes and keeps up the strain. Cross fertilization is impossible except by insects in all bell-shai>cd flowers?and tbis is the usual flower. These nectar insects were given a special commission \ by the Creator. This has been acknowledged for centuries. The office of these little insects is well known. The man .who spreads molasses poison around surely must carry little thought in his mind as to what, he really is doing. Is it to be mo- ! lasses or is it to be a diminution and a deterioration in the crops in your fields, your gardens and your orchards? The honey that the bee makes is entirely a side issue and I am not considering it. I doubt, in fact, whether honey should be extracted from bee hives. Honey making with the bee was not a quulity given him as a matter of human economies but it was one which would preserve the bee itself In the cold winter time when the bee was i hibernating and when, too, there wore I no flowers out in the fields. I can J assert that no student of bee life or 1 no student of plant breeding on a good , second thought would ever apply molasses wholesale out in his fields. Test Plats. As to the efficiency of molasses T | think my observer above who said that in his neighborhood while some j used it on three to four leaf cotton that nobody \vou!d dace use it on larg cotton, where from three to five hundred leaves are Involved, and any man who is using it on big cotton is running the risk of losing some mignty good sales of 25-cent cotton. In all of i this molasses propaganda there has not been one single checked plat test ^ reported by its adherents. The only check plat test I ever read of molasses was one quoted by me the other ( day where under heavy infestation | dusting had reduced infestation to ^ seven per cent, while the molasses method as practiced in a neighboring [ field carried 4."> per cent, infestation.!

The Boll Worm. In some localities the boll worm is doing heavy damage. The boll worm is the same as the tomato worm and the corn ear worm. It eats into the boll. The remedy for boll worm is the dusting of the cotton plant with calcium arsenate which covers the bolls . themselves and kills the worm when ho tries to make entrance. Calcium; arsenate (lusting thus kills both the hull weevil through the poisoning of dew, his drink, and it kiPs, ton, the j boll worm. 1 am hearing fine results i every day from calcium arsenate dusting, Where people have dusted they | tell me they have less weevils than they had a year ago.
