friend in Texas, containing about ,1
a dozen i>olI weevils?the insect j,
which played so much havoc with y
the cotton crop in some portions
of Texas this year. They look like
a doodle only they have wings and
a horn-like protrusion from tne p
head. The latter they use iu boring h
into the boll. Mr. Byrum was c
very careful in transfering tliein c

that not one escaped. He keeps s

much alarmed over the smallpox
situation in their town, and gener- v
al vaccination has been the order \ J
for the past ten days. Smallpox S
first appeared in the mill village, h
just outside the corporate limits, t!
and the health authorities inline- S
diately set about to prevent, if pos- j ti
sible, the disease entering town, j p
In this, however, they were oiisuc- j fcj

f a very mild type. Compulsory ;

ho physicians are now busily en- ;
a^ed in inoculating the people. j
The people of Fort Mill deeply
ympathize with their brethren
