The local post of the American Legion gave the play, "The Microbe of Love",'at the school auditorium on last Wednesday evening to one of the largest houses assembled in our town in some time. Miss Lida Dixon of the Wayne P. Sewell Lyceum. Company of Atlanta, Ga., who ably| directed the'comedy, and starred as Madam Hymen Cupid, injected a love virus into the most chronic bachelors and spinsters with rapid sentimental results that lead straight to matrimonial altar. The performance was remarkably lacking in amatourishness and it moved in merry quick step one amusing scene following another interspersed with catchy melodies and choruses which were pleasing alike to the ear and eye. The cast included a group of girls who impersonated the spinsters. The young school girls were the graceful chorus girls. Members of the Legion and young men of the town were the bachelors of the comedy. The local hits added greatly to the merriment of the evening, and the leading characters all well sustained their parts. The leader of the Spinster's club. Miss Gertrude Manning as Pricilla Prunes, the head of the Bachelor's hosts, Mr. Fairey as Billy Bachelor, and the gifted Miss Dixon, dispenser of love microbes, were excellent. The costumes were fresh and artistic, the scenic effects beautiful, and the dash and spirit displayed by the participants would reflect credit on a professional performance. A list of pood songs and choruses would include every number' with which the comedy is interpsersed. Delightful were "They always follow me" a Japanese song and chorus. "The girl in the Gingham Gown." and "In Our Bungalow". The Ouija scene was admirably done. Especially attractive was the lantern scene where the girls carried electric torch lights and parodied Diognes' search for an honest man in their search for a husband. An angling scene was quite pretty and the climax, a bridal scene, was a delightful picture. ?t?r O? ? Weevil Dispersion Has Begun. Clemson College, August 30? The j Den weevil, so long as there is food available in the cotton field, does very little migrating during the spring and summer; but 'beginning about the middle of August, the pest is seizeu by the migration instinct and begins a period of dispersion which [continues until stopped by the first killing frost. This, says Prof. I A. F. Conradi, entomologist, explains [to farmers why they have been ob'serving a greater number of weevils in their fields during the last week or ten days than at any previous time. The weevil is now over the entire state, specimens having been sent in by farmers from the extreme upper portion of the Piedmont section. Although the weevils are more numerous than we expected, because of mild winter, every farmer should put forth his best efforts to destroy the weevils' winter homes. This destruction consists in cleaning up terraces, ditch banks, fence rows, the edges of woods, neglected orchards, and other places where the weevil may find proper shelter. Cover crops offer one of the best weapons in a weevil fight because besides their agricultural value in ore venting washing and leaching, and in adding vegetable matter, they serve ay a powerful cleansing crop which destroys the weevil's winter quarters most effectively. o American Flags with Sixteen Stripes Some children found in their school history the 'picture of the Surrender of Cornwallis, by Trumbull, in which 'the American flag had sixteen stripes it.stead of thirteen. They wrote to the jBoston Post to know if this was an ^artist's mistake. The editor said the artist ought to have known what flag was flown at the surrender, and there was a time when the flag had as many as sixteen stripes, one strlrpe and one stnr added for each new state. But in 1813 the stripes were limited hy law to thirteen. There are still sixteen stripes in the United States Customs and Coast Guard flags. "COTTON MONEY." "Cotton should not be thrown on 'the market as fast as picked, but 'should be sold over a period of several months to prevent a decline. "The Savannah Cotton Factorage Co., Savannah, G&., has money to lean on old and new crop cotton, either for prompt sale or to be sold. jThey solicit your consignments. 9 1 It Lift, DILLON, SOUTH CAROLINA, * tment- H a LOSES LITTLE FORTUNE. John Gilbert, colored, formerly of the Little Rock section, but lately of Rocky Mount, N. C., where he works as call boy for the Coast Line, came home Saturday on a visit and brought with him $1400.00 in greenbacks of large denomination. In his adopted home John had flirted with dame fortune and won, and it was quite natural that John should want the "home folks" to know how wonderfully he had prospered in a strange land. But John figured that the sight of the coin of the realm would be more convincing , evidence than his word that he had I stored in a bank a small fortune which he had wrung from a cruel and grasping world, and before h e left Rocky Mount he went to the bank and withdrew the fortune in the shape of bills of the golden color which at a glance proclaim the possession of collossal wealth. ? John arrived in Dillon Saturday morning on the Palmetto Limited and was welcomed by a relative and a circle of friends. Before proceeding to his Little Rock home he purchased presents for the family. Incidentally displaying the huge roll, greatly to the astonishment and admiration of old friends and acquaintances. The last purchase was a bottle of cologne costing 25 cents and he tendered in payment a $20 bill. John received his change and tucked it away in his trouser's pocket. Everything was in readiness for the triumphal march to the old home near Little Rock where the fatted calf had been killed and great preparations had been made for the reception of the prodigal son. But alas! alack! To make sure once more that the evidence was still there John ran his hand down into his pockejt to fondle the purse but when his 'fingers failed to connect with the object of his joys and triumphs he turned green and gazed at his circle of admiring friends with < tkn -? " ' inr uun uci|iic8snfi)R ui one wno nao i just received a blow from ti heavy i club. The purse was gone! ' There was consternation, and every I place John and his friends had been that morning was revisited, but not | the slightest trace of the missing i purse could be found. It was a heavy loss, but in John's j hard luck there is a sermon for every ' person who withdraws money from | the bank and carries it around or j stores it away at home. Money in the I bank is safe while any man who keeps \ it on his person or around his prem- ' ises not only runs the risk of loss but | endangers the live8 of himself and his , family. John's hard luck should be a ' warning to that class of people. Cypress Shingles. | I have just received a large | shipment of No. 1 Cypress I shingles at prices which pre- j vailed before the war.
