Rarage* of tho Boll Weeril.
. . According to a dispatch sent out from
Washington, the boll weevil has caused
a loss to the cotton growers of the
Southern States of 10,000,000 bales of
cotton, which at the low value of only
S50 a bale represents a financial loss of
1500,000,000. And this is only the loss
in areas actually planted and does not
tike into conshierattotr the fact that
-• ^farmers cut down their acreage beeause
of the fear that the weevil would not
allow the plant to mature.
“The production of cotton during the
last five years in the five most import
ant cotton-growing counties in South
Carolina wss 1,478,728 bales, a value of
approximately 187,500,000. Should the
the boll weevil infest these counties,
with a resulting loss in cotton produs^
tion such as occurred in the selected
counties in Mississippi, the reduction in
the crops during the four seasons fol
lowing the dispersion of the insects
would be 840,000 bales, valued at $42,-'
000,000,’’ says the report.
Those are facts and figures calculat
ed to make you sit "up and take notice,
Brother Farmer. Experts have esti
mated that the boll weevil will cross
the Savannah and enter South Carolina
within the next two 'or three years.
That period should be considered years
of trace to enable the farmers of this
section to prepare themselves for the
change in conditions that is bound to
come with the inseots. It would be
much easier to get ready for their com
ing by beginning now to plant other
crops than cotton than it will be to adapt
themselves in a short space of time to
the new conditions. --
The People is no “calamity howler,”
but we feal that “forewarned is fore
armed.”’If there are any doubting
Thomases who do not believe the truth
of the above statements, 1ft them write
the goverftment experts in Washington
right now.
—
work in the office to give flto readers
of The People the news each w««k
have good,' healthy appetites and ae
must have their money each week;
that concerns that sell us machinery
expect to be paid promptly when the
account is due; that the paper dealen
do not give ua their goods to “help a
good cause along;” that the editor and
his family muat live; in short, that the
publishing of a newspaper is m business
just the same as the conducting of a
general merchandise store or a sales
stable. ’
Now, nO buinets can run on hot air
and promises alone. Unless outstand
'advertise- iTiTg" Icc6lihta“ire~pHli
cent a word “ / • .—
only a question of time before one’s
credit is ruined with the wholesale
houses. Without credit or money, a
visit from the sheriff is the next step.
The People has no intention of
traveling that rocky road if there
any help for it. To make a long story
short, we are again asking those sub
scribers whi are a year or more in ar
rears with their dues to send us a
check or money order for the amount if
it is npt convenient for them to come
in person. \
To cancel one’s subscription to a,
newspaper with the intention of can
celling all back indebtedness thereby
is dishonest—just as much so as if
one walked into a store, picked up an
article of merchandise arid walked out
without paying for same;—
So once more we are going to ask
those who are indebted to us for the
paper to look at jhe label on their
paper. If it shows that your Subscrip
tion is in arrears, mail us acheck N()W;
We canno^ continue mailing the paper
indefinitely to those who show no in
clination to payfor it.

A Coed Sign. ,
The editor had the pleasure of taking
an automobile trip in company with
Mr. C. H. Mathis, of Blackville, through
the lower part of Barnwell County last
week and was agreeably surprised to
note a number of new residences being
erected on the farms of that section,
while a'fd# owners have greatly im
proved their" old houses.
There is nothing that impresses a
traveller more fav.orably than the sight
of substantial, well-kept country homes.
Nothing can be more indicative of the
prosperity of a section. In the coun
try through which we rode are some of
the most valuable farm lands in the
opunty and the houaes noted are evi
dence that , the farmers are making
money.
Here's hoping that other parts of the
county will follow suit Jn^ this matter.

There is a negro in Washington who
is sowing seed that arc calculated to
bear evil fruit for the members of his
race if his views are followed out. In
incendiary speeches last week, he ad
vised his hearers to buy guns instead
of tools and characterized Southern
senators and represntatives as “nigger-
haters.” Such talk to ignorant negroes
cannoHjut do harm and is responsible
v>-. *• - T
for some of the hardships now borne
by that race. >he quicker they learn
that this is a white ^man’^ country, the
better they will get aldhg^ As long as
they showa tendency to ob&y the lawk
and live honestly, they will get justice
in the Courts and a square deal from
the whites. The minute they rebel
against the dominiori of the white man,
they bring down upon themselves un
told suffering—and the worst of it is
jhat the innocent suffer with the guilty.
Listen to this effusion from the pen
of Joe Sparks:
“After fifty years of exile from the
house of their fathers, the people of
the South are again in command of the
federal government, founded by Wash
ington, vitalized by Jefferson, expound
ed by Calhoun, chastened by Lee and
Jackson, and redeemed by Wilson, all
men of the.South.” Now, wouldn’t
he make some stump speaker?
