We regret that the election on the question of issuing bonds for road improvement went against the bonds because we believed it was to the interest of the people to issue bonds and build per manent roads throughout the township and county. We hope the next plan advanced for road improvement will be a better one, but we fear it will not. We submit as gracefully as possible to the will of the majoiity.

Can the Record tell v us how many of the 69 have f had experience in pulling the [ bell cord over the back of a k mule? W It is unfair to impugn the V motives of LaCoste Evans in f his fight for good roads in I Chesterfield county. Evans has I fought a good fight and has L done it unselfishly. Yes, he will ^ be paid, but it will not be trom the pockets of the tax payers of Chesterfield county. Sooner or later the people will see how tirelessly he has fought for them and then he will rise high in the esteem of his fellowmen throughIout the width and breadth of the county. The people will I honor him and remember him I as a friend. This is the pay L Evans wants and will get. The sandhill" sections of the county are poorer because of I frequent forest fires. As fast as leaves and trash accumulate on the land fire sweeps over it and consumes the accumulated vegetable matter and kills the undergrowth, leaving the land clean and bare and the trees charred. This process keeps the soil in an impoverished condition from veai to year and when it is cleared it does not yield as fresh land should These fires become less frequent. however, as the land is settled and cleared up. The fires discourage settlement by making the land poor, and settlers discourage the lires by cleaning up fields and making extensive forest fires impossible. The sooner the settlers get in the ascendancy in every nook of the county the better (or all concerned, rime Has Come For War On Potato Bugs Clenison College, May 1?i That common pest, the potato bug:, is now requiring attention in South Carolina potato fields and vegetable gardens, accord ing to A F. Conradi, entomologist of Clemson College, For the sake of the state's spuds, he describes methods of waging war upon the bug. "There are two forms of poison used for killing the potato bug," says Prof- Conradi. "The best is arsenate of lead. Paris green is also extensively used. Arsenate of lead is pur chased in two forms, paste and powder. The powder is recommended for the reason that it is more easily handled, cannot > fronYii ?li.?t <lr.F % 1 II vv fiV. (IU\I VUIIIIUI \HJ U|J* I \J I I large ureas ihis powder is used it the rate of lib. to 50 gallons ^ of water. In making up arsenate of lead or Piris green i solutions always stir ^the poison 1 with a little water to the thick ] ness of white wash before it is i added to ihe bulk of water. ] Paris green is made up in the 1 same way as arsenate of lead, 1 except that the rate is I-1 lb. of i Paris green to 50 gallons of water." < bor the small family garden, ' says the entomologist, arsenatse i ol lead powder is used at the rate of a heaping teaspoonful to ! a pail of water, Paris green, at j the rate of a level teaspoonful to a pail oi water.

This can he accomplished bv slaking a lump of quick lime with a little warm water and adding it to the pail of spray. Arsenate of lead powder or Paris green may be dusted. For the family garden it can dusted through a muslin or cheese cloth sack or through an old tomato can with s number of small holes pinioned in the bottom. t,ie is on, because theni^fl^^H \ i senate of lead listed alone without ''1 '5 ''ijf''? should he dusted at tne rate of about 1 to 21bs. to the acre. If one seems to be using too much of it and trouble, it can be mixed one half its weight with air-slaked lime and dusted liberally. To dust Paris green, add a teaspoonfull of Paris green to a quart ot air-slaked lime and mix thoroughly and then dust on plants in the morning while the dew is yet on them. Where one desires to spray the powder, any kind of spray pump with a line nozzle is satisfactory. Some people apply the spray by means of a whis broom and still others with pine brush tied together. Although crude and somewhat wasteful, this serves the purpose in the small family garden. Commencement May 14th.

New York, the strongest company of the kind in the country has added a line of hail insurance for crops to their business and the Pageland Insurance and Realty Company has the agency for this company. Hail insurance heretofore has not been very satisfactory lor tne reason that only small or local companies carried it, and in case of general destruction the company could not pay the damage and remain in bssiness. This strong company, with millions capital, can pay for all the damage that is likely to occur in several states, however, and anyone who insures his crop against hail with this company may feel sure that the company will be able to pay the damage. The cost is small and nearly every man can have his crop protected by insurance if he will. Mr. A. F. Funderburk will be glad to discuss the matter with you and quote you rates.
