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.

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 >

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. Pans green

This can he accomplished bv
slaking a lump of quick lime
with a little warm water and
adding it to the pail of spray.

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.

Hail Insurance in Strong Company.
The Home Fire Insurance
company, of. 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.

interest that you have in our
churches financial progress as
expressed by your offer made
in lai t week's Journal, which
was 1 o give a certain part of the

lents to our churches.
Ho* ever, we kindly suggest to
you that you withdraw your
prop >sal for the following reason:
Your offer has the appearance
of an appeal to that
part of the church that hitherto
has pot been patrons of the

appearance, we desire to say to
you that we do not call in

motive but think that you just
failed to see how it would appear
