Monday in conversation with The
Times, "there were numerous
cases of typhoid fever in Fort
Mill every summer, but now the
disease is almost unknown here,
thanks to the precaution the people
are taking to screen the windows
and doors of their homes
against flies and the better sanitary
conditions of the town. In
most instances typhoid fever is
traceable to infected food or impure
milk or drinking water and
not to mosquitoes, as many people
erroneously think. Mosquitoes
are responsible for malaria,
but not typhoid fever."

this section.
Remedy for Boll Weevil.
The Dillou Herald quotes \V. 11.
Stanton, large farmer of that
county, as saying that "one of
the best ways to fight the boll
weevil is to plant cotton in five
loot rows and give it plenty of
sunshine. We did not Iflmr much
of the boll weevil iu Dillon until
cotton got thick and the wet spell
came along. Then he began to
show up in armies. We had laid
by our cotton and the boll weevil
had full swing because the most
of us could not go back iu with- a
plow even if there hail been no
rain. 1 have a negro with me
who has four acres of cotton
from which he will gather five
bales. His rows are five feet
apart. He worked his cotton late
and it is clean. The boll weevil
has attacked cotton on other
parts of the place and is doing it
some damage, but he has not
made his appearance in the fouracre
patch."
