Read an article which we reprint in this issue from the Anderson Daily Mail in which Dr. Long talks about the boll weevil, and what he knows, and about the advice he gives to plow under the stalks. We have got to whip the boll weevil, and in order to do it iv a. r _ _ i i i_ mere must De cooperation, ana wnen it is so palpably plain that it is to the interest of the farmer to cooperate, we can not understand why he should not. Surely the intelligence of this people is not going to surrender to an insect like the boll weevil. Dr. Long says that the same conditions existed in Texas twenty-five years ago, and he told the farmers of South Carolina what they might expect some five years ago, but they would not heed. Now they are up against the proposition, whereas if they hud heeded the warning given then they would at least have been in better position to meet present conditions, / but because they did not is no reason to surrender now, but the greater reason to heed the advice that is now ~m given ??\JHL 1/iic oaiav Plow under your cotton stalks and plant cover crops. Fight this pest all together, and you will win. But yon must cooperate with your brother farmers. The truth of the matter is, that is the only way to do anything y worth while. No man can live to himself alone. Mi MANNERS We copy an article from the Southern Christian Advocate written by Judge Featherstone on "Automobiles and Manners," which expresses cur views so well that we can not help giving it to the readers of The Herald and News with our endorsement. We know Judge Featherstone quite wcil, and he is not "an old fogy, but he is young and bright and .likes to see every one have a good time and en* ?J xt joy 1216, ana inert; is uu vac ?iw a good story bettor than he. and ve~y few who can tell a story better than Judge Featherstone. And yet as ve have so oftgn aforetime remarked it is t:me that some one ,'iould sound a note of warning if we are to retain and maintain ouc reputation in this section of the country for oar reverence (almost) for woman, a::d our fine chivalry and our good manv ners, and even more our fine courtesy ? j fnr- wAwcnhnnd and when <auu mi. we do not, !hen?well, it will be bad for the citizenship of our country. It is true, as Judge Featherstone says, that these little courtesies and conventionalities that existed between the sexes are the very safeguards which the experience of the past has approved, and which, if forgotten and ignored, are just as sure to be productive of evil as thev ar% not regarded. The automobile is productive of too great a familiarity, and that is the thing that will lead to the breaking down of the invisible wall, &a it were, that has made this Southland the land cf chivalry and of real manhocd and womanhood. . We have said it many times before, and we hate to see the tendency. As to automobile manners, there ain't any such thing. And the accidents and the wrecks that hatraen do not act as a tendency to make people who drive cars have any regard for the rights of the other fellow, and. in fact, they drivewand act on the presumption that the other fellow has no rights at all. We drive a, little, and we are perfectly willing' to ici a.iy one who desires to go faster than we are goino: pass, but we do not like to have hirrr drive by without giving a signal, and sometimes on the wrong side. But let us hope .that all these things will work cut right and that they will be adjusted before it is too late. We love the young people, one of which we expect to remain so long as we live, and we are trying to do all that we can iu hciu ^ and higher type of citizen, and th.it is the only purpose we could pcssibiy have, and we know that the only motive that actuates Judge Featherstone ' - to write the article which we copy is to help to a higher and a better type of mar. and woman, and therefore a better citizen. ?w?? THE CORRECT REMEDY There was a oig mass meeting over at Greenwood the other day to see t- _ ^ * nrohibi "what couia oe nunc ^ ? tion, and to create a sentiment f ?r the enforcement of the prohibition laws in that good county. You know Greenwood has been prohibition for a good many years, even before the days of the dispensary, -"e believe, and yet in recent months there havt been discovered a great many stills in t - 1 i ?a? mmmmmmzm i i ?? ??% i i?mam J the county and a whole lot of mash, j whatever that is. j So they called a meeting of the citi izens to see what could be done, i There were a great many speeches and a whole lot of advice, but the I ! keynote to the whole situation was t " (sounded by J. B. Park, a lawyer at ; Greenwood. Mr. Mark said: "Before i prohibition can be enforced some of jus will I hvc to stop drinking it. Some j?c;>r negio brought up and sentenced for se-hng a pint of liquor which some of us drank. These sratenents r.re hard but they are facts. We have got to get rid of this state of affairs before prohibition iz adequately enforced. We can't blame the officers until we change -our sentiment." : And this is not only true in Creenwood but L is true elsewhere. And we do not s;h* it is the case in Greenwood, but we have seen it that the man that njade the loudest noise about prohibition and the greatest speech for the enforcement of the I law was the man who could an i did take the biggest drink, and many times would buy it from the fellow who was illegally selling the stuff. You can never enforce the law when tbic qf-atp of pffair'; exists. You are correct. Mr. Park, not only "some of us" but more of us have got to stop buying* liquor from the illegal seller, and s?op drinking it before we can go very far in the enforcing of the law against the manufacture and sale. We must create a rentiment against-the drinking of the liquor as well as against the making and selling of it. The fellow who buys it is encouraging the sab and the seller encourages the manufacturer. - > Captain M. M. Buford again this i year made request of the state fair management or rather suggested that it would be a good and proper recognition of the old Confederate soldier to offer him free admission to the fair grounds and the management has readily granted the suggestion ard all veterans will be admitted free. <*> s?> <$' i> '-t> <?> <& <j> < > < ' <S' ' <?

To the County Superintendent of Education, Dear Sir: Statistics for the scholastic year 1920-21 are now being compiled in the office of State Superintendent of Education. These figures afford a reliable index to school problems and school progress. The emphasis that has been, placed on high schools and rural graded schools during recent years is beginning to result in better gradation and promotion of pupils. A study of .these two groups of schools during ; 1919-20 and 1920-21 will help revindicate the needs and tendencies of the public schor'.o :>f your county.

Mrs. Maud Perkins of New York, a national lecturer, held the audience spell-bound as she portrayed the deplorable conditions of the country; .how law-enforcement is not observed land how other nations are looking t'j America.
