The Latta Post of the American
Legion gave the play, "The Microbe
of Love," to a full house on Wednesday
evening. 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.

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."

either for prompt sale or to be sold.

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. I also
1 pi
carry a siock or leaar onin-|
gles. If you will see me before
buykg I will save you
money.
