Renaming Our Streets
Since writing an editorial on renaming
our streets in last week's is.
sue we have heard some unfavorable
comment cn the subject. Several
have called to our attention that it
would serve to mi* up records such
as deeds to property which describe
lots of land facing on these streets
whose names are to be changed. We
feel that the ladies should look into
, this feature before going ahead with
the plan.

DILLON READY TO ACT.
t
Promoters Claim that Dillon iiml C
Marlboro Show No Interest
in fathom Highway.
Dillon Herald, Sept. 22.
The following is taken from the
Pee Dee Advocate:
Mayor T. C. Cropland has received
the following letter:
Cheraw, South Carolina, September (
10, 1921.
Mayor T. S. Crosland, Bennettsville,
South Carolina.
Dear Sir:?Re: Matter Calhoun f
Hfghway Association.
It now seems that on account of a 2
lack of interest in bennettsville and x
1
Dillq-n the Calhoun Highway will
have to run by Darlington and Flor- 1
once so a3 to tap the Wilmington ^
highway at Florence.
* ' e awIwIam ihnl Vin

route by Rennettsville and Dillon
offers the best solution of this problem.
Do you think there is any
chance of getting the local interest
aroused so as to get this road to the j
North Carolina line, as the North
Carolina people have already a serine
that they will take care of their
end? ' C
With kindest personal regards I 1
am Yours very truly,
R. E. Hantia.
S. C. Vice-Prcs. Calhoun Highway
Association.
Little Interest Taken.
Mayor Crosland says: '
"It is a shame for us fto lose the :
chance of getting this highway. I
called a meeting of the business
men once or twice, and as the people 1
take so little interest in the matter,
I am as a loss to know what to dr
If the people will show the proper 1
interest we can get it, but if we sit
down and let it go by, it suits me."
1 ' i
Why by Florence?
This road certainly ought to come
by Bennettsville. Although the people
may not show sufficient interest,
this County will clo its share. It already
has a good road from the Che- ,
raw bridge via Bennettsville and McColl
to the X. C. line, and via?Bennettsville
and Dunbar to the Dillon (
splendid highway. Marlboro is go- j
line, where Dillon takes it up with a
ing to have even a better road when
it completes its link of the state .
highway from the Cheraw bridge to (
the Dillon line.
To go by Darlington and Florence
from Cheraw would be 2o to miles j
out of the way. If it goes that way
it will miss Cheraw. for the travel
would eventually turn down by Ca.n- '
den and Bishopville to Florence.
Besides, there is no bridge across
the river below Cheraw, and is not ,
likely to be soon. In fact, the Atlantic
Coast highway is on paring to
go front Florence around by Cheraw
to Wilmington, instead of waiting for ,
the uncertain IVo Bee bridgt. as the
following communication in Tups- j
day's State and Xews and Courier; :
shows: ! .
(Dillon's position in the matter itliis:
Dillon was asked several v<? I
ago to meet witln representatives i
from Cheraw. Dillon citizens got rep i
resentatives from ltowland and the
meeting was held at the court house.
The Cheraw representatives <\plainod
the plans tinder which the highway
was to be built. Dillon-.m l Rowland '
'
citizens pledged tin in their support. I
This meeting adjourned, b it nothing
further was heard from the Chora v i
folk. Dillon and Rowland arc ready
to do their part any time they are
called upon. They tire awaiting
further instructions from Cheraw.

As far as known there are three
editors of Cheravv newspapers buried
here.
Major James Lyon
Born 1774
Died 1824.
Major Lyon established Cheraw's
first newspaper in 1818, "The Pee Dee
Gazette." He was the editor until
he died In 1824 and one of his sons
took charge and in 1S3"> sold it to
Murdoch McLean. There is now in
Jacksonville, Flu., a Mr. Lyon who is
in the newspaper business. He is a
lescendant of Major Lyon, the seventh
generation and he writes that all his
ancestors beginning with Major Lyan
have been editors.

practical information, and is very
:reditable to the village in which it
jrigihatcd. Charleston has not one
iriginal periodical work of any kind
whatever except the Almanac!
Murdoch McLean
Born 1789
Died 1863
As stated above Mr. McLean took
harge of the "Gazette" in 1S35 and 1
:dited it Jill about 1845 when he was
tucceded by Jar-:es Powell.
Mr. McLean lived three miles out

ha

d weeyil fighting now in the hands of
ch

d fall cleaninsr nroeram i?t also of the
greatest benefit generally in destroy- za
- ing the winter homes and the winter
I, food plants of other Injurious pests s0<
V of the farm. m<
s Boll weevils multiply in cotton un
til frost kills it. Many thousands of co'
them may occur in each acre of cotton.
Weevils hibernate, that is they
pass the winter, only in the full tra
grown state. Hibernation usually be- Wi
. gins with the coming of the first m?
e killing frost. The weevih hibernate
- principally in cotton fields, and stand- Mr
i ing stalks make for them splendid
a winter homes. Tha mrst favorable *^r
s condition for successful hibernation ]
i is found in fields waora cotton sia'.ks to'
. grass,., weeds, dead loa.Ts, etc., at?
1 left during the winter. There are t"'
2 little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions. *UI
i In some sections the stalks are
1 uprooted, piled and burned. This do
has the very serious disadvantage of 1
destroying a large amount of vege2
table matter which should be turned Ki
i. under. Whenever the farmer is osl
i equipped with plows and mules to 8'G
turn under the stalks five to six
] inches after they have been cut down 'za
f with the chopper, it is a very effec- P?
tive plan. A less effective method C01
t is to graze off all green cotton within a I
! a period of a few day3. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
mu3t be through. Di
1 Some of the many advantages secured
from cleaning the fields and ciL
destroying the stalks are: (1) A by
! great many full grown weevils are f0,
. killed outright; (2) Many young fat
s stages in the plants are killed; (3)
The full grown weevils not killed will ge;
be weakened by starvation if the 0ic
. stalks aj* destroyed two to three th:
weeks before the first frost and these thi
will not have sufficient strength to ar,
pass the winter successfully. The an
removal of the stalks also facilitates ge,
? fall Dlowing and the planting of ba

cover crops. an
t Where stalks are chopped and he

Those who mound their trees during
July should pull thi3 mound down
during the first week in October and
examine the trunk of the trees and
Bee that there is no boter left. It
udll be well to sprinkle a few ashes
around the trees after pulling the
mound down. *
Prepare for your winter pruning
and spraying a3 soon as leaves have
fallen. A well kept heme orchard will
go a long way in fighting %the boll
weevil.
After the orchade has been cleared
of all trash and cover crop sewn the
following trunk wash should be used:
Standard Trunk \Vksh:
Lump lime 20 lbs.
Soap (Whale oil, homemade,
or ordinary laundry) 3 lbs.
Sulphur .. 4 lbs.
Water _...: 20 gala*
Making the Wash:
Shave the soap finely and dhRoUe
in three gallons of water. Make a
a thin paste of sulphur and add to the
solution of soap and while the lime V
is slaking (in half barrell) the solution
of soap and sulphur is poured
over it, and the whole quantity is
diluted to make twenty-five gallons,
which is sufficient quantity to wash
200-300 trees, 6 to S years old.
This wash is very inexpensive, and
may be easily applied by the use of a
paint brush.
We will be very glad to advise with
you at any time in reference to putting
in and caring for your orchard.
Yours very yuly,
W. J. TILLER,
County Agent.
