BOLL WEEVIL IN COLLETON.
First Hand Information as to What
the Pest is Doing in Lower
Carolina.
The Press and Standard published
at Walterboro, the county seat of Colleton,
gives some first hand information
as to what the boll weevil is doing
in that county. The information
was obtained by addressing letters to
the'farmers themselves and asking
them how they were getting along in
their fight against the weevil. The
letter from one farmer in the Hendersonville
section of Colleton is particularly
interesting in that it describes
condition as they will undoubtedly
o-\ist in Dillon county in the
next year or two. The letter follows:
Hendersonville. June 12? Your
letter asking us 'to secure the concensus
of opinion concerning boll
weevil situation in this immediate
community has given us a very interesting
and instructive piece of
work. We should like to have had
opportunity for a wider range of interviews,
but have been able to talk
only with some of the planters who
live within the village, so the information
comes from a limited num- ,
ber, but we feel that it is representative
of the condition in this section,
We had interviews with the following
gentlemen who are among our most
successful planters: T. S. Boynton, G.
E. H. Moore, C. H. Boynton, J. C.
Guess, D. E. Guess, C. H. Marvin, and (
Desmond Marvin. To the question concerning
the present outlook for cotton
all replied in the same emphatic manner.
."No prospects." None gave any
other than a dismal picture of the
situation. Still none were distressed
ior cast down with discouragement for
j it is but as expected.-They are accepting
the situation as a patter of fact
and are seeking to profit by the experience
of last year by turning in
other directions than cotton. "The
general opinion is that the acreage
has been cut two-thirds or threefourths.
Several of the farmers who
have always planted cotton have eliminated
it altogether this year, while
, those who have planted seem to have
done so chiefly as a matter 01 expen'
ment.
The weevil seems to have anticipated
a scarcity of the coveted plant
for in%many places his appearance
was noted with the breaking of the
soil. Not content to await the arrival
of the boll, he began his destructive
attack upon the tender
young plant by eating the bud leaf.
Now the squares are dropping off
the stalk rapidly as the result of his
continued assault. Several of our
farmers gave over any further cultivation
after the discovery of the
early presence of the pest, others
started the fight immediately by
picking up the weevils, later the
squares and by some using calcium
[arsenate as k poison. Quite a difference
is noted by some where the
.'croppers have been persistent in the
i fight and where others have done
nothing at all against the enemy.
Picking off the weevil was rather
too expensive a process for several
who felt that the experiment for this
year scarcely justified the coast, so

they resorted either to poisoning or
picking up squares.
As regards the substitute crops,
corn seems to be the leading resort.
Along with this more acreage and attention
is being given velvet beans,
peanuts, peas, and potatoes. Also a
great deal is invested in live stock
from which many Expect their principal
profit. It is the opinion that the
farmers are preparing to meet the
fall with its financial claims by their
present foresight, their reliance upon
grain crops and live stock a stricter
economy in living and a larger production
for home consumption.
T. S. Boynton is very optimistic,'
not over the boll weevil situation,
but over the farmers' ability to meet.
the new conditions. He is demon-(
strating this in a very practical way
and at present has splendid prospects
for the fall harvest. Last year he
had 150 acres in co? -. this year only
five which he had planted only as an 11
experiment. He has used the poison!1

picked up. In,place of cotton he has
turned to a>&rger production of corn
and beans, 100 acres in peas from
which he will have both the fruit and (
hay, about 60 acres in peanus, which ,
surely rival if not surpass other pea- (
nut crops of the section.
C. H. Boynton thinks the farmers i
are rather easily discouraged over j
the weevil conditions and do no <
fight them hard enough. He works i
on the share crop system and has
reduced his cotton acreage from , i
acres last year to 30 this year, per- <
mitting about four acres to the plow, j
His croppers have been using a boll i
weevil machine along with the other i
usual methods. He has planted corn, i
peanuts, velvet beans and peas whici. i
he will store up chiefly for his large i
herds of live stock.
J. C. Guess reduced his acreage
from 60 to 12 acres this year. Find*

beginning he has not worked it but
rather devoted his energy to corn,
beans, oats, hay and live stock. Mr.
Guess feels that as much as half a
crop of cotton can be made if it can
be planted early enough anjl have fair
conditions for it to grow off quickly
before the weevil can do so much
damage. This season this year was
much against securing this early
stand.
G. E. H. Moore has as pretty a
crop of cotton as can be seen anywhere,
but the weevil has been with
him from the start. He decreased his
acreage about two-thirds, from 80 to
27 acres. He began the fight at first
by having the weevil picked, and he
estimates that he found from five to
twenty weevils to the row in early
stages while eating the bud leaves.
I^e is now having the squares picked
ut> and has used the calcium aresnate
poison. He hopes to make a half crop.
He has the cief substitutes of corn,
peas, beans and peanuts. Hit great interest
lies in live stock and he has
one of the finest herds of cows anywhere
within this section. Sixty
acres of open land he has turned into
a pasture for the cattle. His dairy
and fine new barn are attracting no
small amount of attention.
D. E. Guess has only planted a

REPUBLICANS PLAN

To Establish Headquarters in Differ-!

(P. H. McGowa n in The State.)
Washington, July 25?Just as predicted
in this correspondence on frequent
occasions, the movement to (
break the "solid South'" has begun
here. MonthB ago talk began to be 1
heard in the national capitol looking 1
toward the end of wrecking the souths J
eDemocratic hold and of planting {
there a white Republican party. To- <
day the matter took concrete form. <
It has become known here that recently
many letters have come to Re- ,
publican leaders asking that something
be done to wrench the political
machinery from the Democrats of the
South in order that chances of Repub- (
lican victory might be enhanced. It
has been suggested that Republican
strongholds be opened in several of j
the leading cities of the South, to j
yhich Chairman Hayes is said to have ,
already given his consent and approv- .
al. The location of these cities is now j
said to be the only question that is ,
bothering the leaders and that they ]

The Republicans of the South have
een informed by Henry L. Johnson ? .
f Georgia and other men of the paftIr,
that the only way to rid that seeion
of what they term the "emocratic.

Marion Butler of Washington, forler
Populist-Republican, senatoc
rom North Carolina, dispatched the
allowing telegram to Chairman. 1
lays:
"Southern Republican headquarters
hould be established because even?
ther section has been accorded seprate
headquarters especially equip-'
ed to meet the different conditions,
londitions in the East and West diter.
"Second: A remarkable Republican
pportunity has arisen. Our whotecitsenship

rowing dissatisfaction against eight
ears of monumental maladministraion.
In North Carolina these condtions
are accentuated by deep resent- ?
aent against a new odious state taxa- ?

"Third: With impending reduction

rais MAW IS FATHER AND
GRANDFATHER OF CHILDREX
Baltimore, Mr., July 22 ? An unusual
story is told in a bill of complaint
field in Circuit Court No. 2. by
Anna Belle Jones, through Archey &
New attorney, for the annulment' of
her marriage to William M. Jonee.
rhe case is that of a wife and mother,
who says that she has learned that
her husband?the father of her two
children?whom she supposed to be
her steDfather, was her real father.
and that his improper conduct towards
her younger sister caused the
latter to leave their home.
Jones declares in the bill that before
her marriage she lived with her
parents without being aware of her
supposed stepfather's identity. Another
unusual feature of the story is the:
assertion of Mrs. Jones tha thg revelations
of her supposed stepfather's.
Identity came to her in a dream. Two
children were born of the marriage,
boys, eight and three years, who are
said to be entirely normal and
bealthy.
