| Harmful Principle of Poison Oak.
It la known that the poisonous principle
which makes poison Ivy so noxious
to susceptible persons Is toxicodendron
s substance that Is Insoluble
In wuter but soluble In ether and
alcohol. So active Is It. says the Journal
of American Medical association,
that 0.006 milligrams applied to the
skin will start painful inflammation.
The poisonous principle of polso:
oak has Just been discovered by Pr
J. B. McNalr and called by him lobInol.
Inflammation is i-nuped by actual
contact with the resinous sap of
the plant, bpt this contact may result
through the intermediary of such objects
as clothes, shoes, croquet balls
or even smoke. And It may he transferred
by the fingernails or hands from
owe part of the body to another.

WEEVIL DESTROYS ;
CALHOUN COTTON
Wide Aliens Practically Wiped Out by
Pest?Worse than Ever Etpec
ted.
I
St. Matthews, Aug. 26?While bo't
weevil talk has become common, it
is yet a matter of revelation for one
to go into the fields and take a look.
A clear realization of the devastation
wrought by the pest can not be had
until a personal inspection of fields
of cottotn is made. What promised
to be practically a full crop four
weeks ago is nothing but a hollow
mocker/ in large areas today. Fields '
with fine weed go as far as the eye
can reach, all green and healthy. 11
dui not a bloom can be found. The
earth is covered with punctured 1
forms and large green bolls, ap- 1
parently safe and ready for bursting, <
when squeezed, crumble and shell out 1
from one to three embryonic weevils. '
The man who can claim half a crop *
is indeed fortunate, while many, the 1
majority it would seem, will have 1
to content themselves with much 1
less, some even with total failure.
The wise man who knew that this <
territory was of too great an altitude ]
'or the pest to live in has gone to t
:ke woods, while the more conserva- s
,ive devotee of cotton who knew t
hat some harm would come but that i
i fair yield could always be made t
inder favorable conditions has re- 1
rised his conservatism and is now 1
ooking for somebody to blame for 1
tot telling him how bad the thing t

the present condition of the crop is

to show a low condition.
