IrII({W Enterprise To Ho Kstahlished j >n OutHliuts of Camden, A party of three ladies have pin chased a portion of the property about ono nitfe east of Camden known a* '?i.. V *?-. i DuUose Park, and propose to erect a unique enterprise there in the near future in fact work has already eorn-4 menced. The now ? enterprise will be known as "DuBose Park Filling Station and Camp Ground" and will bo modelled afW -oivnnercial ramp grinds found in the north and northwest for the accommodation of aulomobille travel i'fs. Tho project is being promised by Mrs* Dora K. Higglrife, of Charle voix, Michigan, and she has associated win ucr wits. \njOT]$b ronnpp, hier mother, ami Mrs. Marion Harris, her sister, both of W rent ham, Mass. They had staitivl on' their v^ay to Florida to locate such an enterprise, but were s# favorably impressed with Camden and the locution; that they decided to east their lot here, and pur chased the cottage formerly used as the DuBose home, on top of the hill, and several of the lots adjoining. They will use the house for their own, but in the near future will erect num erous small cottages with all conven iences for rental to auto parties who do not care to pitch tent overnight and will rent them for a nominal sum. From the crowded condition of all ;hotols and boarding houses for sleep ing quarters when the travel south starts it looks like the project ought to be a success. We are told that in recent weeks at night it has been al most impossible for travelers to get lodging in Camden? all of the hotels and private rooms being taken. t A filling station is now being erect ed and aside from furnishing gas and oil and lodging, the ladies will also hav?t for sale ready ore pa red lunches to be sold to thyO travelers. It is probably the first' of its kind in the South? surely .the first operated by yomen ? and the ladies tell us that I they have met with a cordial reception so. far. They expect to make Camden their permanent home. Agency For Brushes. The ladies of the Presbyterian church have secured the agency for the Foller Brush Company, in this city, and a representative of the com pany will be in Camden on Tuesday next at 4 o'clock, when he will give a demonstration to those interested at the Grammar School building.

Hickman was working on his auto mobile in the rear of his home when the machine started to move off.

F, Conrad i, Entomologist of the station, l'rof. Conradi's statement fnllowKi ? - "Since the successful adaptation of calcium arsenate to boll "weevil con trol by 'the Hutvau of Entomology of th?A United States Department of Agriculture a few years ago,: there has been a continually increasing de mand for this poison. Kealiv.ing the vustness of the cotton acreage of this country, as well as the limitations 01 the sources of arsenic, the South Carolina Experiment Station undev took the investigation of the commor ciftlly available poisons other than ar senic with a vifcw of being able ulti mately to adapt one or more to tho problem of boll weevil control. After a careful survey of tfhe field of com mercially available toxines and the i. onielti vion of a series of preliminary experiments with various materials, it became apparent that, aside from arsenic, nicotine properly prepared' and applied gave tho greatest measure of promise. - "A series of tests was therefore I innmrnrHtoil ??? ( 'lr>r?Mon C^llnVfl mul neighboring points to determine as far as* possible the practical value* of the nicotine dusts under field condi tions. Throughout these experiments calcium arsenate was used for com parison because the efficiency of this poison in weevil control had been fully | established. The results secured in j these tests are quite convincing that nicotine dusts will speedily develop, so that the increasing demand for weevil poisons may be economically met. I "In this series of tests the gains se cured from both the nicotine and the calcium arsenate dusts were approxi mately t?o same and ranged from two hundred' to six hundred pounds of seed cotton per acre. Expressed in terms of money at current prices for lint and seed, the gains would vary from $20.00 to $60.00 per acre after deducting cost of poison and labor for the season. %*n' v ? "Although these field tests repre sent only one season's work in the field and it is fully realized that a great deal remains to be done in the way of research and experimenting, yet the uniformly satisfactory results secured in the various tests are so a? suring that it is felt that this infor mation fthould be placed before the public without waiting until these tests have been repeated during an other year or two. A detailed re ? port is now in preparation and will be issued shortly. "Efforts areVnow being directed to ward further perfection of the product with the Jiope of producing a .suffic ient quantity in 1924 to be of mate rial assistance in the weevil fight.1" Will Hold Bazaar The ladica^f the Jewish Aid Society will hold their annual Bazaar at the show rooms. <>f the Kershaw Motor Company on Wednesday, December 12th, the proceeds will go for the benefit of the Temple.
