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. The doctors say that what he
\ probably took was not what he
thought It was. Anvwar he waa i

Queer Boat* 8all the Tlgrla.
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.
