Need of a school nurse to promote
better attendance at the Clinton
schools was urged by Prof. J. H. With
erspoon, superintendent, before the lo
cal Rotary club at its regular weekly
luncheon meeting in the Mary Mus-
grove tea room last Friday.
Speaking on attendance problems at
the invitation of the club. Professor
Witherspoon explained that although
South Carolina has a compulsory at
tendance law, failure of the legisla
ture to provide for enforcement offi
cers has resulted in a great many chil
dren of tender years being permitted
and encouraged by their parents not
to attend school. This condition, he
said, appears to be particularly acute
among residents of the Clinton cotton
mill village.
Although the rural policemen in
variably have been ready to cooperate
in enforcing school attendance when
specific instances of truancy were
brought to their attention, Professor
Witherspoon continued, the problem is
sociological rather than criminal, and
better results could be obtained by
other means than the employment of
regular officers. Often non-attend
ance is caused by slight physical de
fects, he explained, which could be
corrected easily if there were a school
nurse whose business it was to dis
cover them.
In discussing general conditions
which are responsible for non-attend
ance, Professor Witherspoon touched
on the social isolation which surrounds
cotton mill employees, and urged that
members of the Rotary cluh exert
their influence to breaking it down.
He also mentioned inability to buy
books, but added that in Clinton this
objection is usually overcome by be
ing able to secure used books for chil
dren whose parents are unable or un
willing to buy them.
At the conclusion of the address, a
committee of three members of the
club was appointed by President W. P.
Jacobs to cooperate with Professor
Witherspoon in any movement he car
es to undertake to promote better at
tendance.

Beginning of Construction, L«»»g An
ticipated, Hailed As Highly Im
portant Event.
Columbia, Sept. 22.—The first dirt
on the Saluda dam was turned today
and the construction of the big hydro
electric project was started. The Lex
ington Water Power company’s big
development is under way.
FARM FOR SALE
The old home place of L. H. Cro
mer, located one and one-half miles
north of Clinton, has six-room resi
dence and tenant house and several
outbuildings. About 50 acres cleared
\
land. Can be made an ideal location
for dairying. Priced right. Cash or •>
terms. Apply
been caterpillaring its way down to
the site of the dam, with a view to
digging into the ground. The moving
was completed today and the big shov
el started its work.
This means that today will stand
out in red letters on the log of the
good ship Columbia, as she, moves
along her course of progress.
The big event which Columbia has
been -anticipating for some many
months has taken place. The construc
tion of the big dam is under way.
The cutting of earth started at the
site of the mammoth diversion tun
nel which will carry the water of the
Saluda river under the dam while the
big mountain of earth is being poured
into the valley.
Operations are also under way at
another point in connection with the
actual construction of the dam site
topping the main line of the Columbia,
Newberry and Laurens railroad, is
being rapidly constructed.
From now on, the Arundel corpora
tion, builders of the dam, will rush
operations. The big twenty-million-
dollar project will be completed by the
end of 1930.
The diversion tunnel, where work
of digging dirt has started, is to car
ry the water of the Saluda river while
the dam is being built. After the dam
is completed it will serve as one of the
<>'conduits to carry water from the lake
< * | above the dam to the power house
j which will nestle at the. lower side of
i the dam.
; The diversion tunnel is to he com-
! pleted before the actual hauling of
! dirt for the big earthen dam can start.
| After the tunnel begins to carry the
I waters of the river, railroad tracks
will be built across the valley and
trams will haul dirt dug from the
hillsides no both sides and dump it in
to the valley for the erection of a ver
itable mountain. Then when the wa
ters bank up behind this big fill, Cen
tral South Carolina will boast of one
of the biggest lakes, and the dam will
form one of the largest hydro-electric
plants fn America.

Control Grain Weevil With Carbon
Bisulphide
. I have had a number of calls in re
gard to weevils attacking corn, small
grains, peas, etc. There is a control
measure for this weevil just as effec
tive as the control measure for' smut
in grain. This deadly weapon for wee
vil is known as^carbon bisulphide. It
is a liquid that may be bought at any
drug store at small 'cost, compared
with the good you will derive from its
use. The directions are very simple
and easy to follow'. If you have never
tried such weevil control make an ef
fort and follow the directions given
below:
Clean old bins thoroughly. Mato
the bins or cribs tight, and select a
time w’hen the temperature of the air
is not below 70 degrees fahrenheit.
Use carbon bisulphide at the rate of
seven pounds to 100 bushels of grain
as follows: i
. r ■ i
. Level the corn at the surface, and
at points three feet apart each way
pull out the ears to make holes. Into
these pour the carbon bisulphide in;
equal amounts. Throw the ears back
and . spread blankets over the grain.
Close the crib tight. Fumigation
should be continued for 24 to 48 hours
before the crib is opened. No venti
lation is necessary except that if the
crib is made of brick it should be ven
tilated at the end of 36 to 48 hours.
Small amounts of seed may be fu
migated in a cool oil or molasses bar
rel, using about three ounces of bi
sulphide per barrel. After applying,
cover the barreK with sacks weighted
down with boards.
Throughout the central and south
ern parts of the state the grain wee
vil and the grain moth infest the corn
in the field before it is harvested, the
infestation being worse in loose-fit
ting shucks. These pests are hauled
to the crib from the field. At every
load thousands of these weevils sift
through the corn and lie on the floor
of *the wagon. When the wagon ts
swept the sweepings should be burned
and not thrown on the ground.
Weevils may be controlled by fu
migating with carbon bisulphide as
mentioned above* This liquid, as well
as the gas, is easily SET ON FIRE
and then EXPLODES VIOLENTLY.
For that reason it slfduld be bandied
even more cautiously than gasoline;
hence, fire of all kinds, including
lighted pipes, cigars, candles, lamps,
etc., should be kept away. Lofts
should hot be fumigated when live
stock is kept under them. When the
material is not in use it may be stor
ed in a cool place.
The time is at hand for the saving
of grains from weevils, and 1 would
suggest that you use every effort to
control same and let it never be said i

Turn the key/
and your Buick
Double-Locked
No lock could be safer! One turn of the key locks
both ignition and steering wheel. But merely turning
off the ignition does not lock the wheel. You may shut
off the engine and coast, if you like, and still have
your car under perfect control.
And no lock could be more convenient! It i& illumi
nated and located within easy reach, where the
steering column meets the dash.
The Buick double-lock is an exclusive Buick feature
—one of many important refinements which charac
terize Buick for 1928.
