The poor man who with large j amilies of children and up against a ?ard winter must necessarily take tuch Jobs as are offered to him, not >eing too choice as to the kind of | sork, and last but not least, must j lot expect wartime prices for the work that he has done. The Latta Epworth League held its usual quarterly business meeting it the church Wednesday evening, Dctober 5th. The Chapter was found to be doing some real worth while work. The DresiHent's rpnnrt a good morale, with a good outlook for the winter. It was decided that Lhe League would study a course in the Methodist church and its work, l study that will be of interest to all i Methodists and will be open of course1 :o all Methodists. The treasurer made! i very satisfactory report. She was nstructed to send the 15.00 confer-j ?nce assessment and she reported, muub wnereoy tne 95UU.00 centenary I iledge would be paid In full. It was rith reluctance that the League 'garej ip the services of the capable fourth! lepartment Superintendent but the! !hapter was very fortuuate in secur-| ig the services of Miss Vivian Mc-j lillan to take charge of that work, 'he second department superintendnt called attention to the fact tbat ie League had placed flowers in the hurch when they were available and Tightened many sick rooms.

TheL leeting gave evidence of the worth'hile-ness of the organization. One . rould not go amiss should he or she . sin the League and become a reguir and faithful attendant.

Margaret Bethea, < Corresponding Secretary. I o Coming Out of the Wilderness. ! Barnwell People. It is a little hard these days to know Just exactly "where we are at." Four years ago we were solemnly warned of the coming of the boll ( weevil, but nobody really believed that the warning was all wool, a yard wide. We didn't fence our lands for stock raising. We didn't diversify our crops. We just stuck to cotton. In a way some of us dabbled a little with velvet beans. As the cotton crop' wag materially shortened, we didn't! pay much attention to peanuts as a substitute crop. We are not only convinced that the boll weevil can: do us damage, but we know the weevil has just about wiped this year's labor off the books and left us nothing to pay our fertilizer accounts and taxes. On every handj 1 vueic iuc lamemauuus. Some things ought to be remembered. One of which is that the farmers, merchants and bankers who, are in distress 'this fall have gone in- i to it with their eyes wide open and j ears ringing with warnings. They cannot hold anyone to account for failure to warn them. They banked their judgment against the weevil and the weevil has left them their judgment,' while he takes the cotton. Another fact that ought to be remembered is that if the margin be-, tween success and failure was soj small with u? that after unexampled' prosperity for four years, one years j losses can bring us next door to /the | poor house and allow us to put off' the family doctor and the church! with twenty-five cents or some small { offering, it shows us the wisdom of: getting on a safer basis than cotton. It the boll weevil has been a blessing to the other folks he has visited, let us hope that we may be as apt to' learn our lesson as they learned theirs. Another fact can be noted, and that is it will pay to keep a good watch over the average calamity howler An n rnlo V.Q ?C " '' . u>v la uuwuiig aua | doing nothing else to remedy his . situation. On the other hand the man I who is hit just as hard is already r looking ahead to find something toil take the place of cotton as a money j f crop. He isn't stopping every passer-)1 by to ask him what to plant. He is I already trying a little of this or that . until he comes out of the wilderness. I He isn't putting all of his eggs in one i basket, but he is getting a plenty I of baskets to hold his eggs. This J sort of farmer isn't expecting much | help from politics, or legislation, but { he will get up early and go to bed i late. He will eat his own home raised ' food, and plow home raised stock. < He will be able to get what money ' he needs from the bank, and in a J very few years will rise up and call . the weevil a blessing to him.

"they mait go to work. Bxperti have told us that the only way to beat the weevil ie to clean off the fields ai scon as the crop is gathered. It hai been the experience of farmers is weevil infested sections that clean fields will make a fairly good crop of cotton under boll weevil conditions. The crop in. Dillon county is so short that all the cotton will be picked in a week or two, and with the ideal weather we are having the Dillon county farmer has a fine chance to get ahead of the weevil another year. Hard work and plenty of it will enable us to make a fairly good crop next year. Now is the time to get busy." o SELLERS. Colbreath-Utley.
