This Is a tpiesiion being asked by hnn dreds of South Carolina farmers in the infested counties of the stnt,o; says I'rof A. I\ Conradi. chief of the onto inolou.V division, who says that advice from any source concerninu this mai ler is not dependable for there is no man who eim tell in advance whether not it would lie wise to plow up cot - ton and piaut other crops on account of ho| I weevil infestation. The cotton boll weevil is an insec^ whose activities depend on weather conditions. If the weather in .June und .July is coin pa rati vtily warm and dry, we may expect to take a cotton crop so far as the weevil is concerned^ TTT other words, abundance of weevils at this season of the year is no indica-* lion of loss ( lint may be e*|?ocfed. for the reason that so fjir the weevil has had every advantage and the cotton every disadvantage. < >n the other hand, if June and .July are compara tively wet. we may expect severe loss from the b<?ll weevill. It must be re entered thai the averaue South Caro lina weather conditions, especially irr the southern half of die stale, are very favorable to weevil development.

Engineer Iver Harmon leaped from Ids eah as (lie engine 'left the rails and stniek (he ground with grout force. Ilia right shoulder was dislocated and he suffered an ugly gash la his fore, head, <>thor portion* of his body were severely bruised. Joe Jenkins, the negro fireman, also jumped and his en tiro right side is today a mass of bruises, but he is not seriously hurt. Itoth the engineer and the fireman wore rushed to the Florence infirm ary' 'and their injuries attended to. No passengers on tho train were In jured, although they were rudely shaken. Tho wreck occurred about 8 o'clock last night. Engineer Harmon says he was running a few minutes late and was maintaining a schedule of miles an hour. "Mince reading in the papers dur ing the past several days of attempts to wreck trains in various parts of the country 1 have been Keeping a close lookout on my lines,'*, said Engineer Harmon nt the hospital today "but this is a clear switch and I did not a ntlcl|ui tc guy trouble mere. 'The sign board on the switch showed white, and It Was afterward discovered that white paper had been 1 n? st?*?i over the red board to Indicate h clear track. Ah I approached (be switch 1 ? ??<^t I?*?h1 that t li?? bogrdwas clear and did not 4?acken speed.

It la understood that officials of the Seaboard will make thorough Invest igations* of the wreck. There is no doubt, however, about the fact that the I switch luid been tampered with and thrown open.
