P BARBECUE AT
MR. FRANK GUTTER'S
j|v At?the home of Mr. Frank Gunter,
jp| -sis miles south of Gilbert on route 1,
on the 6th of August, the family and
friends of JVIr. Gunter joined in cele;
>-ibrhting his 61st birttiday. Mr. Gunter
was born and raisea in this commun<
r
Vv-. - ity. He has a wide circle of relatives
Df.- '
and friends, to which a warm and
-hearty invitation was extended. The
<cne was well prepared and his children

two great grand children, and quite
Steele _ ...

V-- cumbering about one hundred and;
'Y fifty participated. This was the sixth
If/*. barbecue that Mr. Gunter has had.
? *. "The writer enjoyed this gathering,
?^nd the 'cue-picnic.
jg The table was bountifully filled
with hash, rice, 'cued lpdrk, pies,
^ - cakes, pickles and bread. Everyone
^ % enjoyed the dinner hugely. I know
Uncle Bever did, because his pants
? were five numbers too large when he
,v. arrived, but they wer^too tight when
? 4 ifc 'left for hisvhome. Ice cold lemonafie
was served also. It was a wonddej*ful
day for the family 'cue, all
* ear^3r? ate a11 they could, stayed
^5 .fiRil .late in the afternoon mingling in
^Y Jd$h glee and happiness.. When the
t ? time of parting came all, even the
H
stnall children, seemed to breathe a
silent prayer that these two people,
Mr. and Mrs. Gunter, might live many
more years, that we might assemble
, ? * and ^manifest our love and respect for
fhezh. *
& "
X ' . - ** 2* Gunter contributed to the
fe; dinner a melon weighing about 60
^^j^Nounds.
-) During the noon hours the little
grand son of Mr. and Mrs. Gunter,
^i . Dobnus Hall, sang a song: "Love
lifted Me;" which was very pretty
'and consoling. Also ex-commissionS.
R. Smith delivered an appro

BATESBURG NEWS.
Batesburg, Aug. 23.:?The boll weevil
continues to do havoc with the
cotton in this section and it is thought
that not more than from one-third to

who have most of last year's
crop on hand.

belong to* Jim Bynum, a negro living
6 or 7 mile^from Batesburg, was captured

which has happened in almost every
neighborhood in this country, and
has been told and related by thousands
of others, as follows: "I used a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy about 'nine years
ago and it cured me of flux (dysentery.)
I had another attack of the
same complaint three i or four years
ago and a few doses of this remedy
cured me. I have recommended it
to dozens of people since I first used
and shall continue to do so for I
i
know it is a quick and positive cure
: for bowel troubles."

THE BOLL WEEVIL AND
HIS WINTER-QUARTERS
Clemson College, Aug. 22.?The
cotton boll weevil finds his hotel for
the winter in old stalks, weeds and
dead grass in the field. He will find
splendid winter-quarters in unkept
terraces, weedy 'ditch banks and
fences, in neglected orchards, in underbrush
along the woods and roadsides,
etc.
wpaviI rpnnirps for successful
wintering a place with a given
amount of moisture, failing in such
places where moisture is heavy.
Therefore the cover crop that is
used for preventing land washing
and the leaching of soiNfertilitv, and
for maintaining soil texture is of the
greatest value under weevil conditions,
because jt acts as a cleansing
crop which keeps down weeds and
winter food plants and destroys pro-1
!
tective # coverings for the weevil and
other destructive insects during the'
winter.
It is time now for farmers to think
about these matters and not let this
work go until the last moment, advises
Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist
who says that we. want to clean up
our farms this fall as we have never
done before. These wintering places
UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY
Time is the test of truth. And
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test in Lexington. No Lexington resident
who suffers backache, or annoying
urinary ills can remain unconvinced
by this twice-told testimony.
Mrs. R. F. Powell, Main St.,. Lexington,
says: "I had a dull ache in
my back and in the morning when I
got up I eould hardly bend over. I
tired easily and it was an effort for
me to do my housework. Headaches
and dizzy spells bothered me and my
sight was blurred. Doan's Kidney
Pills, from the Harmon Drug Co., gave
me relief almost at once and after
using three or four bokes all the
trouble disappeared."
Over three years later Mrs. Powell
said: "I think just as much of Doan's
Kidney Pills today as I did when I
recommended them nearly four years
ago. I haven't had to use a kidney
medicine since that time."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get

mentioned must not be ^permitted;
they must be removed or destroyed
by one method or another. Humus is
our greatest deficiency in farming and
for that reason vegetable matter
should be properly incorporated in
the soil whenever possible; but there
are a great many cases where this
can not be done; and yet-' should
weeds, dead grass, etc., remain
through the wipter they would form
successful wintering places for the
boll weevil. Burning may be- the
only resort by which they can be destroyed,
and if so burning should be
employed. %
