" WIST LINGER ON Lovesick Youth Denied the Soft Embraces of DeatK ^ Feminine Fickleness Teo Much for ixteen-Year-Old Llewellyn Soott, but Doctors Save Him. There are no disappointments, no Joys, no sorrows and no tragedies aa great as those of youth. For In all man's life, the days of the 'teens are the most real, the most Impressive and?the funniest. With this ss s prologue, let the curtain rise on the crowning life tragedy of Llewellyn 8cott, sixteen years old, and romantic. In Llewellyn's life was a mystery woman. She Is a mystery to the police, for the lad refused to divulge her name. She Is a mystery to Llewellyn because?well, all women are mysteries anyhow. But Llewellyn loved. He loved with the undying devotion of his years, and while he loved well, perhaps It was not wisely. Just a few brief days ago, with Joyous heart, he saw the girl, as was his custom. Th i two talked of parties, long trousers, school and summer vacations, as men and women of such years are apt to do. And at the end of the conversation the girl gave the boy a note to give to another boy, the usual hated rival. Llewellyn was doubtful. He wanted to please the girl, but enough was enough. He decided to read the letter. tHe did. Then, with a great desire te rt>e of service to the girl and save her an undoubtedly terrible end, he decided to destroy the letter, as he did not consider It a proper note for a girl of fifteen years old to write to a boy. For a few hours the glamor and giory or neroi8m surged In Llewellyn's heart. He pictured himself as a knight of old standing with lifted sword over the prostrate body of "the hated rival" while that individual begged for m?rcy; and the girl came and threw her arms about him and pleaded for the life of the unworthy one. Finally he yielded and tl!e "villain" slunk away Into oblivion. Bat this dream was halted by an ever-growing fear that all was not well. In the first place, the "villain" was bigger than Llewellyn, which sometimes affects even the stoutest heart. As days passed, the feeling that possessed Llewellyn grew until It had reached that vital spot at the kneea which causes them to shake and - quiver unnecessarily. Then came the decision. From this point on Llewelyln's story Is questioned somewhat by the physician at the receiving hospital along certain technical lines. Llewellyn says that he could stand It no longer aad took a quantity of what he believed to be poison. Intending to shift this mor\ tal eotl.

By far the most Interesting craft en the upper Tigris are the "qufa" and the "kelak," this latter coming frem up-river and descending to Bagdad. The "qufa." as seen In Bagdad today, la a circular tub made of Interwoven osiers, covered outside with pitch. The large ones are as much as sir feet across and four or five feet deep. They are propelled by two men, who stand close together and, leaning over the edge, dip their paddles deep Into the water and sweep them away from each other. In summer these coracles come floating down to the dty, spinning alowly round and round, plied high with flat, Juicy melons, their gunwales almost awash. But they are ateady enough boats, not easily capalaed. The "kelak." on the other hand, U really a raft made up of large numbers of Inflated pigskins lashed -together and decked over with timber ?nd brushwood. These float down otream with the current, often carrylog firewood, cut in the mountains at -the source of the Tigris, to Bagdad.? -Columbus Dispatch. No Fences In China. No great demand exists in China for barbed wire. Chinese farm holdings are very small, and no attempt is ever made to divide them off or separate them from their neighbors' by any form of fence. Boundary stones are all that mark the dividing line between one farm and another, and a wire fence does not nt all fulflll the Chinese Idea of a wall, to which they are most partial. In ^ respect to the grazing of sheep and -cattle, this Is all done on hillsides, and vacant lands, and the flocks are always under the care of children and old men and women, as in ail eastern countries. A Mental Strain. "I'm thinking of a trip to Paris this summer." "Really, old man, you can't afford that. You're not accustomed to that sort of thing." "I merely said I was thinking ef It f can afford to think, can't If "Ma: that's what I meant You're sot accustomed t? dhtoklag." n^M THE DILLO WEEVILS ARE WARNING VS. >ee Dee Advocate. During the past two or three reeks, boll weevils have been found n every township in Marlboro coun-1 y. They first appeared in small ipots, and have been spreading rapdly. F. P. B. Pegues, who lives in Imithville township, in the extreme lorthern part of the country, says hey are plentiful in his section, and lave invaded Richmond county aluost to Rockingham. They are doing ronsiderable damage on the farms >f S. J. T. Quick and Ben Brigman, 11 Brightsville. They are reported at r. L. Breeden's'in Adamsville, J. E. tVillis' and S. L. McDonald's in Red Bluff, James Jackson's in Hebron, B. H. Covington's and Monroe Hill's in Red' Hill, C. S. McCall's and R. L. \irKwooa s in uenneusvuie, ana on learly every farm in lower Brownsrllle. The total damage in the county .his year will not be great, as most >t the crop was made before they ;ot started. They will be here In !ull force next year, however, uness they are killed out by a very severe winter, and will'do considerable iamage, if we have another wet ?ear. Our people should not be alarmed, however. We have a fertile county ind a resourceful people. We have 'ull and fair warning of the lmpendng danger, and should prepare for t. People are still living and prosperng where the weevil has been for rears. They still live and prosper where no cotton has ever been, or ev;r can be grown. They grow other :rops on land that is less productive, ind where climatic conditions are ess favorable than in Marlboro.' We do not believe that cotton should be abandoned altogether. It win sun De our cnier money crop. 3ut we must reduce the acreage. It will require more labor and atten:ion to produce it than heretofore, rhat may not be an unmixed evil. IVe have been producing more coton than we could harvest, and a arge part of the crop has been deteriorating and rotting in the fields. \fter this we may be able to save the cotton in good condition with the lame labor that is required to grow t and keep the weevils down.' We should produce all the foodituff, milk, butter, beef, pork, etc.. ;hat we can use; 'and improve our ands with legumes and stable mature. We can live then without ipending so much money; and we will not need so much cotton money with which to pay debts. One thing we should guard igainst. We should not go too extensively into new schems and new :rops that we do not know anything ibout. Let'B try the new things cautiously and conservatively till we learn how to grow and market them. And do not forget this; Every farmer has to work out his own salration. Don't depend too much on :he government, and on different organizations and leaders. Do your jwn thinking and planting for your )wn farm; and co-operate with your neighbors and fellow farmers and justness men wherever and whenever you can do so advantageously. By working together we can often accomplish more than by working ilone; but each man still should do lis share; and should require the other fellow to do his share too. If every farmer, whether land owner or tenant, will plan for a lalf crop of cotton next year, we will still be one of the most prosperous counties in the South.
