NEW ENTERPRISES ' ( Radio Corporation and Boll Weevil Exterminator Co. Start Business. a . C Xotiee of the opening of the books s of Subscription of the Carolina Radio e Corporation will be- found elsewhere in this issue. This enterprise is one that Cheraw u should be proud of. in that it is a e venture into an untried lield and one that bids fair to bo a wonderful ^ developer of cur rural districts in a both education and business. ^ The Carolina Radio Corporation has as it's officers J I. M. Duvall, W. E. Hurt, Jr.. and H. W. Mclver and ^ has secured the exclusive sales rights t] for the De Forest Radio Equipment t< for several South Atlantic States in- ,a eluding South Carolina. Ci ine maciimcs win ue soiu mrougii p agents and will be distributed from Cheraw. j A receiving station has been fitted up by them in the Ciub Building n where the machines will be demon strated to both agenis and prospec- ^ tive customers. Numbers of applications and orders for equipment jr are being received bv thorn daily and ^ as soon as the factory can furnish their stock this concern will be a p going enterprise in our midst. tr Another new enterprise of which j( Cheraw may justly be proud is the inventor and manufacturing concern 'p which is building the Daylight Dew Boil Weevil Exterminator an invention of our fellow townsman Mr. n] J. M. Brasington. This invention is a horse drawn machine which dusts calcium arcenic oir cotton plants for jr the poisoning of the boll weevil. The tl unique feature about the machine is 0] that it carries force pumps which forces water thro a very fine spray a] thereby forming a "dew" on the cot- o( ton plant in day time so that the arcenic when dusted on with the same machine will stick. We understand that the machine has bet 11 thoroughly tested out and c works perfectly and a large numb r n< of orders for the machines have been Q' received for immediate delivery. v; e< Mr. II. I..

' ' i ?? r i THE WOODROTV WfLSOX FOO'DATION. An Appeal to tho Pnbllc Schools, The schools and colleges are railed upon to assist in raising South Carolina's quota of $30,000 to the Wbodrow Wilgon Foundation. The appeal should be particularly strong to the school boys and girls of this state, because Mr. Wilson spent a part of his school days in South Carolina. It is not the amount contributed which counts so much as the number of individuals who show interest by giving even small amounts. If the average contribution from the school children of the state were as much r ten cent3 so their obligation would be fully met. It is proposed to rrise one million dollars as a permanent r uuuiuuiuu. With the income from this Foundation awards will be made to individuals and groups who have rendered distinguished scJrivcei "to Democracy, public welfare, liberal thought, or peace through justice." Governor Cooper is the Chairman of thd Foundation in South Carolina, and writes ime thus in regard to it: "It seems to me the purpose of this Foundation ought to appeal to every person who believes in peace through justice. By this means it is hoped that we may keep constantly before the American Public the ideals for which Mr. Wilson stood during the greatest crisi-j of the World's history. It gives an opportunity to every individual to contribute some amount and thereby become a charter member of this Foundation." The State Superintendent of Education, Mr. J. E. Swearingen, to whom the school system of South Carolina lo AVAvlnctinclv indphtAd SAndo thJq mesagc: "The Wbodrow Wilson Pounda. tion Is worthy of the cordial support and cooperation of all Southerners and Southern Democrats. Public school teachers and pupil* can very properly take an active interest in the campaign for funds. South Carolina cannot afford tc omit her part of the work or her contribution to its success.'" 1 Each school should organize a Committee to collect money and send it. together with the anmes of the subscribers, to Gen. Wylie Jones, Palmetto Nation Bank Building, Columbia S. C. I hope that every school teacher who reads this notice will take the initiative in organizing the work and carrying it to successful completion within the next ten days. Send the money and list of subscribers to General Jones in Columbia?not to me. Very sincerely yours, W. M. RIGGS, President Clemson College, C'iirm.

Lay it off in rows 12 feet apart, and plant your cotton seed in December. 3. When your cotton comes up thin it to one stalk In a hill 23 feet apart. 4. Spray each stalk twice a day with Hoyt's German cologne. 5. Cover your cotton with mosquito netting when it is two weeks old, this netting to be stretched over poultry wire. 6. Spread tanglefoot between all your cotton rows, and replace it every flay. 7. Burn off all the nearby woods, and cut down dead trees and burn them. 8. Dust the following mixture on your cotton twice a day'?Epsom salts, calomel cream of wheat and the white of an egg. 9. Have two hired hands for every acre in cultivation. Furnish barb-1 ers' tweezers to be used in pinching the heads off of any boll weevils which show up. 10. Mortgage your farm and buy nitrate of soda and spread plentifully around the roots of the cotton. 11. If any of the bolls should get punctured have the place vulcanized it once. Any good automobile tire man can do this for you. 12. Begin picking your cotton in February and try to have it all ginned and sold by the 15th of March, ind this will enable you to go to work and grow corn, peas, potatoes and hogs for your own homie consump Lion. This kind of consumption does not need the services of a doctor. A Merchant I S We know says that it's his He is 100 per cent right.

A cloud of glowing gas has bees discovered flying through spuce at a speed of 1,125 miles per second. Readers may be relieved to know that it is traveling away from us, but even if It were coming our way there would be nothing to fear, as many thousands, perhaps millions, of yeaTs must elapse before It could reach us. llow It manages to remain Intact while traveling at such a dizzy speed is a mystery. Equally mysterious Is the manner In which It was able to get up such a speed. The most probable explanations are that It has been shot from some gigantic sun belonging to a universe of stars far beyond those we can see, or that It Is a gradual accmulatlon of gas or gasses which ultimately will be formed Lnto stars such as we see. around us at night ?w Schedule on S.
