Mr. Evans last Friday delivered 188 bales of old cotton to that organization, Delivery of this cotton was optional with him under the terms of the contract but he stated that he wished the asociation j to sell the cotton for him. "I believe the organization of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative association means much for the future welfare of the state and I am delighted that to me has come the privilege of being the first grower in the state to turn cotton over to the association," said Mr. Evans.

THE WEEVIL SITUATION. Clemson College, Aug. 2!.? Wherever natural shedding is ht-avj and the weevil is very active, anc there is little or no fruiting, no further profit may be exported Iron dusting; but wherever normal weath 'er conditions exist and not more thar normal shedding occurs and cotton i: still fruiting, another dusting is advisable in order to give every possible protection to the bolls, said Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, this morn ing after the weekly conference in Di rector Long's office on the boll weevi situation. Other facts and sugges -.lions developed at the conference an given below. ' The weather conditions are variable throughout the state, ranging frorr extreme wet weather in some localities to extreme drought in others. Ir many fields throughout the centra and southern parts of the state tnem is little fruiting at this time, becaus* of excessive natural shedding com bined with weevil punctures. In din areas in the Piedmont section natura shedding is very heavy, although weevil infestation is comparatively light. But the falling off of fruit i: generally attributed by farmers to th< boll weevil. Much Crop Failure Due to Weather Not Weevil. The general weather conditions a this time resemble those of last year although the same extremes do no exist in the same localities in ever; case. The weather damage at thi time should not be overlooked by tar mers, and every effort should b ; made to get most careful and impar tial estimates of the percentage o their crop loss due to weevil and th percentage due ' to natural shedding It must be remembered that, owing t heavy continuous rainfall in certai sections of the state, there woul likely have been a crop failure regarr less of- the boll weevil. This is irr portant for people to consider so th{ they may not get the idea that co ton can no longer be grown sueces; fully. There were cotton crop fai UK'S on account of weather long b< tore the boll weevil came. 0... ? m? n mo* mm ? GRANT INTERCEDED FOR LEE Immediately after the conclusion c the Civil War and the assassination o President Lincoln, Andrew Joimsor the new president, became very inten on the punishment of the Souih. rath er than his predecessor's generou idea of treating the war as definitel; at an end and concentrating nationa j effort on the upbuilding of the Union He found many supporters in con gross, and their endorsement pcrsuad ed him to contejr.plate a very radica course. On one occasion he medi tated the arrest of General Lee. When the news of this plan <a?m to General Grant, he immediatelj waited on President Johnson and in formed him that Lee had honorabij surrendered, and had been assured that he could devote himself to tht welfare of the South without interruption or disturbance. The inutliem general continued to the effect that the army of which he was head intended to see that these terms' were carried out, and that if Johnson attempted to interfere with Lee h? would be arrested himself.

The reservoir, particularly the upper one, wit-h a path on the brink, is ; a place of romance. Across the water j rise stately houses; they seem almost , on the edge of the water, like the ? houses of Venice. Sometimes the ...oto,. iG r? ?heet of ice. One day it j 5 w cvcv* ^ ? ? seemed like a stretch of gray taffeta, with inserts of blue crepe where the wind rippled the patches of water that remained, t Close to the shore broken hits of ice tinkled continually against the tsretch t of solid ice, with the sound of sleigh y bells. g But in summer there is another as_ pect to the reservoir. Horseback ride ers gallop around in fetching cos. tumes, while the water sparkles in the f sun. e But there is one point at a certain r hour that lifts you out of New York, > r 0 out of America, out of the world. The n oint is the western stretch of the d Southern side. The hour is sunset, j. The magic is produced by the founj. tain, a thin, high sweep of spray ^ J pointed with rainbow shddes by the t_ I setting sun. Up goes the stream 3_ j whirling into a gigantic feather in the j. J gentle hands of the breeze. Suddenly ?_ I the rainbow apepars, to vanish as the wind swings the spray in another direction, to reappear again for a few > breath catching seconds. The spray sweeps here and there, covering you d lor an instant. The sun leaves it for f ;i moment and the fountain becomes a J i. bridal veil. Out comes the sun and 1 -the fountain flashes into glory. ~ LONG AIR FLIGHT y.
