Chester Reporter, July 31: The boll
weevil news from the portions of the
county south of Chester Is very disTho
weevil seems to be
here In force, and squares are beingpunctured
by the wholesale. Owing t,o
the recent rains, and the fact that the
ptent is vigorous, the squares are not
falling off as soon as ordinarily, after
being punctured; but investigation
shows the weevil has been ther<, and
the square after hanging on a day or
two longer will fall off. Above Chester
there is much less indication of the
presence of the weev.il The Com<munity

people deserve congratulations for
the splendid manner in which they
handled the K. of P. Grand Lodge

delegates and visitors. While th? convention
brought hundreds here for an

disorder or disrespect for constituted
authority in evidence at any time, and
the grand parade Thursday afternoon
was of an order of excellence that
would have done credit to any organization.
Cleveland Star (Shelby), August 1:
There was a heavy hailstorm Sunday
afternoon embracing the territory between

large as hen eggs are said to have fallen
and cut the growing ct-ops. Buggy

by the stones and a calf was killed.
There wan no wind during the storm,
but considerable lightning and . thunder.

building crops with Mr. Winters, Mr.
Winters said good farming with good
crop rotation end raising legumes to
turn under was 60 per cent of successful
forming under boll weevil conditions;
that poisoning was a minor factor.
The other 40 per cent of lighting
the boll weevil was picking up squares,
poisoning, shallow and late tillage and
destroying the hiding pieces for winter
quarters enly. Mr. Winters said the
mail that quits raising cotton because
of the boll weevil and plunges into another
crop, is going to make the same
mistake as tl.e man that is raising all
cotton now. and that cotton will still
be our chief money crop. Every farm
should haye a .crop rotation of money
crops, sojl building and feeds. The
farmers a'Pb'aqvnjpd to pick up squares
onec a week and burn them and to cultivate
their cotton shallow tl.rough
August to furnish squares for the weevil
so they won't attack the bolls. To
determine the per cent of weevils in
cotton count one hundred squares in j
five sections of the field, preferably one ]
on each corner of the field aud one in !
the center to get an average. In this j
count take one row and count every j
square on the plant and on the ground ,
till you get 100 squares counted, pick- j
ing up as you count all the punctured
squares. If in counting the 100 squares i
you find that fifteen are punctured you j
have a 15 per cent infection and if
you are going to spray U is time to be- :

CHARLES BRYAN
Interesting Sketch of the Younger
Brother of William Jennings.
The number "three" is a favorite one '
with the Bryan family, says a Lincoln, J
Nebraska, dispatch. Three times did j
William Jennings Bryan run for the j
presidency, and each-time was defeat- t
ed. Three times did his brother, 1
Charles Wityland Brynn, run for the
Democratic nomination for Governor |
of Nebraska, and on the third try he |
was successful. The third time was on !
iniv IX when ho was entered in a field !
of four candidates, and led all of thom '
in the pull, notwithstanding that one of j
them was the head of the Nebraska
farm Bureau federation and a real
dirt farmer.
While in Nebraska C. W. Bryan wilH
head the Democratic ticket as the party i
candidate for governor, up in Mi.gne- !
sota his only son, Silas L. Bryan, is
the party nominee for lieutonrfnt governor.
Capt. Silas was one of the first
to graduate from the Officers Training
Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn., and after |
he had served in the trenches in France j
he went back to Minnesota, married]
the girl he had met while in camp
there, and settled down to practice iaw.
That was three years ago; now he Is 1
carrying the Democratic flag in the
second line trenches as its candidate |
for second place.
Charles W. Bryan has been the
stormy petrol of Democratic politics in
Nebraska ever since W. J. Bryan and
Senator Hitchcock, in 1910, parted
company over the liquor question. In
the numerous battles between the two
it has heen Charles W. Bryan who did
the planning and the mining and sappjtig,
itcjt an, ' pueviousljr, he wafcthtf
closest friend and adviser of his
brother in his presidential campaigns.
He has a genius for politics, and the
inside work of tjio game has heen his I
chief delight, it is revealing no secret ;
to eay that it was his suggestion that
led W. J. Bryan to introduce the famous
resolution in the Baltimore convention
pledging that body not to support
a Wall Street candidate, a moye
that admittedly forced the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson.
At the last national convention he
was an alternate from Nebraska, after
having routed the Hitchcock forces in 1
the fight to control the regular delegation.
Hitchcock men have repeatedly
declared that it was "C. W." who pre- I
vented a reconciliation of the two
chieftains. When, in 1918, "Brother
Charley," after a successful term as
mayor of his home city, where partisan
politics and partisan labels are unknown
in municipal elections, filed as
a candidate for governor, tne nncncock
men dug up Keith Neville, a
western Nebraska millionaire, and defeated
him in the primary. Two years
later Neville again boat him.

Excdus From South Claimed to be

"Where you boun' for?"
"Michigan!"
"Well, you'll be back before cold
weather sets in!"
This dialogue took place outside a
Columbia, S. C., railroad station early
last June, writes Lester A. Walton in
the New York World. It occasioned no
little merriment among bystanders.
A white man and a colored man
were principals to this impromptu and
good-natured exchange of verbal sallies.
The former appeared in the role
of a prognosticator; the negro, who
rpight be referred to as. party of the
fii-st part, was about to make his exit
to a Northern clime.

ed his countenance at the prediction
that he, in the words of the .ate Bert
Williams, "would go, but return, howeyer,"
it was difficult to determine
whether he agreed or disagreed with
party of the second part.
"White folks certainly know colored
folks down this way," remarked a
white man, presumably an Eastern
drummer, to me, smiling graciously.
In response I bestowed, upon him a
beneficent smile end nodded assent. I
had no inclination to discuss the race
Question, deeming it advisable to keep
out of any such argument in the state
IFf Cole Blcase and the late Ben Tillman.
To be politic, I agreed with the Eastern
drummer that "white folks certainly
know colored folks" yet all
the time I was asking myself If this
statement was wholly true. As I was
in the heart of the South studying conPeace
Made With Hitchcock.
This year Mr. Bryan chung d his
tactics. Ho let it be known that if
Senator Hitchcock would pledge himself
to support enforcement of the
iVolstcad law all would be forgiven.
The senator did so, and a little later it
was announced that party leaders had
*- - ?- - - ? 1 ? ,.totn that

contained both their names, along with
candidates for two other offices. Thjs
led to a loud cry from those left off
k
the slate, and. some of the Hitchcock
lieutenants flatly refused to support
I Bryan, saying he was trying to gain
the nomination by attaching himself to
the senator's political coat-tails. In
I the end it came out that while the
senator felt he could be nominated
1 without the Bryan support, he felt he
I needed it in the election, and so the
slate went through.
Meanwhile Mr. Bryan has been in
the thick of things political. He found
in the sjlfing of 1921 no one in Lincoln
to run on a platform calling for a
municipal coal-yard, a municipal icei..

himself. He was elected a member of
the commission, but instead of naming
him mayor the other commissioners
selected one of their number. He says
this was because local business interests
interferred. He was named Street
Commissioner, bluffed the ice company
into reducing rates and, with his coal
yard, he says, he saved consumers
$150,000 last winter.
Charles W. Bryan has not the oratorical
gifts of his brother, but he can
make a fairly good speech, is brimful
of ideals and of fight. He says he will
make the campaign on Newberryism in
Nebraska, basing it on the money
spent by the rich man named by the
Republicans to oppose him. lie will
also attack the civil administrative i
code and Republican extravagance and I
high taxes.
Mr. Bryan is fifty-Ave years old, lias
been business manager of the Commoner
for twenty-two years, operates
two farms close to Lincoln, and lives
in a modest home close by where his
brother began his political career. His
family consists of Mrs. Bryan and a
daughter, Mary Louise, and his son i
Silas, named after the father of W. J.

had a total population of 576,073, of
which 15,679 were negroes, will show
a startling increase in its negro citizenry;
and that other communities in
the state of California will reflect
through increased negro population the
extent of the latest invasion.
Difference in the cultural makeup
prompting the negro to go Xorth from
1917 to 1919 affords an interesting
contrast. During the war better wages
was the chief incentive prompting the
negro to go north. Better treatment
usually was of secondary consideration;
butBbetier treatment is the primary
motive that impels the present
day migrant to shake the dust of the
South for the West.
