F. Conrad of the South Carolina crop pest commission Owing to the mil^ winter Mr. Weevil wintered well and his family is -now quite numerous, and active earlier ;is the. third season-of ; ; tlWM ' ; v. weevil in Beaufort and the second in Jasper and Hampton, but he ’received a backset in the winter of 1917-18 and lost all of Beaufort except Daufuskie Island. Last season the pest regained all of this lost territory and increased in such numbers that the outlook in aome sections appears threatening. “The amount of injury that will be done this year depends of course alto gether on the weather conditions in June and July. If the weather, dur ing that period of the year is dry. the damage will be very greatly reduced; but should that period of the year be moist, then we may expect very sharp damage on a number of the planta tions in that terriylry. “'If we have an/other favorable win ter the most senous damage may ,be expected next yfear in the territory above referred to, and it is hoped that accurate data may have been obtained by that time in regard to tbe prac ticability and effectiveness of poisi ng. Poison should not be looked upon at the present time as a per fected remedy. Will Pay Indigent Pensions. The State pension board has ad- Jorned.. Another meeting will be call ed within the next few weeks to com plete all details as to the distribution of the extra $100,000 appropriated ai the last session of the general asssem bly* for Confederate veterans, whe heretofore had' not received auy petr sions. The lifUts of awards have not been completed. W. D. McLaurln, pension commis sioner, said that the commission had enrolled of these about 2.800 veterans. These are dvided into two classes, the classification being determined by physical condition, financial circum stances and age. The more indigent class will receive $40 and the other $S2. There are about 450 in the first class and about 2,300 in the other. Commission Visits Charleston. The railroad commisloners of this State held a public hearing at Charles ton. at the Cham-ber of Commerce of the Consolidated Company’s petition for increased rates on the navy yard line, the company taking the position that improvements in the service this year Justified the higher charges necessary to yield a fair profit on operations. Incidentally, a discussion of the shuttle train situation was held. Navy yard employees, through rep resentatives, appeared at the hearing to protest against increased fare, de claring that the service now rendered did not justify higher fare any more than the service previous to improve ments did. although it was admitted that improvements had been made. Should the shuttle train be discon tinued. it was declared by the em ployees. additional traffic would prove too much for the trolley facilities. mission, before the United States sec retary of agriculture can legally ap prove it and cover the funds dollar for dollar which the counties have available. t The field work and office work done by the engineers and draftsmen em- 'ployed W The Ik Afi in- teresting phases of its activities. The public is much more familiar with the commission as the branch of the state government to which automobile license fees are paid.

On January 1, 1919, the employees of the state highway commission in its engineering section consisted of the following; Acting state highway engineer, one; office engineer, one; chief field engineer, one; chief drafts man, one; assistant field engineers, two; resident engineers, two; drafts men, three—total 11.
