■ suhh ts 10 6011 ML PES1 THIS IS THE THIRD SEASON IN BEAUFORT AND SECOND IN JASPER AND HAMPTON. LOST TERRITORY IS REGAINED Amount of Injury That Will Be Done Thi* Year Depends Altogether on Weather For Next Six Weeks. Colum bia. “The boll weevil is already showing considerable activity this season in western Beaufort County an dalso In parts of Jasper and Hampton Coun ties,” says Prof. A. F. Conrad of the South Carolina crop pest commission. Owing to the mild winter Mr. Weevil wintered well and his family is now quite numerous, and active earlier than usual. “This is the third season of the weevil in Beaufort and the second in Jasper and Hampton, but he received a backset in the winter of 1917-18 and lost all of Beitufort except Daufunkie Island. Last season the pest regained all of this lost territory and increased In such numbers that the outlooV in some sections appears threatening. ~Th* amount of injury that will be done this year depends of course alto gether on the weather conditions in > June and July If the weather, dur Ing that period of the year Is dry. tb» damage will he very greatly reduced, but should that period of the year be moist, then we msjr espect very sharp damage on a number of the plants Hons ta that territory *Tf we have another favorable wta | lef n# dfoef '•’■'•us dtmftge may "He * • lpar led sett year la the territory above referred to sad It la hoped that accurate data may base been nbtsl—d by tbat ra*e ta regard te the prar tlrabtltty sad e#»* ttvaasss of potssm tag petsoa sbowt^ not be loaned • pee St tbe prevent t >a»e *• a per fee ted reeied » wmi Pay peet P#ea>sea, Tbe nt«te peas» ma board ban ad )TS ■ f AsMber meet tag will be cult ed eabas tbe aeat fee eeeba In c*dn pie«e all details as te tbe dketrtbatiea ad tba eg tea lid* ddb apprsprtated M tbe teat aeee’ ee ef tbe general aseeesa b#y Per Coa federate veterans wbe bersteferr bed net received nay pen , sloes Tbe (lets ed awards bare net beea eemplated W f> Mr t4»«rt* peastiuss coesmis u^iwrr sa>d tbel tbe roesasianien bad ea cel led ef tbeee sbowt 1 dag veteraan Tbeee are dsided late two rleeeee tbe rlaseHbetioe being deterwimsd by pbysical road it lea baeartal rtrmns ates- *s sad sge Tbe asocv tadigeat riaas will re*eive ft A and tbe otbev f yy Taere are ebna a did m tbe brat rinse sad abuat • Jdd sa tbe otbec Ceratatsa ee v>s ts C^srisatsa Tbe railrneg r.wafets •users of thIs Piste beid a pablur beenag at Cbarlee tea st tbe Cbeasber of Commerce of tbe Consolidated Company's pet if lea Highway Office Fores Incrtsssd. The fact that 42 nut gf the 48 coun ties of the state have appCed forjall or parts of their, allotments of federal aid for road or bridge building has forced the- state - high way commis sion to expand its engineering force;} both in its office and/in the field. Each new road or bridge project approved for federal aid by the state highway commission calls for a large amount of expert engineering work, both in the field and in the office of the com mission, before the United Spates sec retary of agriculture can legally ap prove it and cover-the funds dollar for dollar which the . counties have available. The field work and office work done by the e-ngjneers and draftsmen , em ployed by the commission is an in teresting phases of its krtivities. The public is* much more familiar i with the commission as the branch of the state government to which automobile license fees are paid. Unlike hgli- way commissions in some of the other states, the South Uarolina com mission pays for all engineering worl; done on the state highway sys tem in connection with securing fed eral aid for buildng roads and bridges. On January 1. 1919. the employees of the state highway consmi-sloh in its engineering section consisted of i the following: Acting state highway engiueer, one; office engineer, one; chief field engineer, one; chief draft*- ' man, one; assistant field engineers, two; resident engineer*, two; drafts- ' men. three—total 11. On June 1. 1919. in tta engineering section the state highway commission ■ had the following employees: State highway engineer, one; chief of con- j •tructlon. one; chief of surveys, one; 1 chief Inspector, one; bridge engineer. ; one; office engineer, one; chlf drafts man. one; chief of part lee. five; field engineers 12; resident engineers. 11; draftsmen flvw—total 4* THE PEOPLE. BARNWELL, 8 C. THE FARMER MUST RATE RUGGED BEALTH Many Break Downs and Failures Due to Exposure and Hard Work Catarrh in 9ome of It's Manj Forma Claims Thousands Every farm family has Its medicine cabinet and In almost every one will be_fqund’a bottle of Dr. Hartman’s World Famous Peruna. For coughs, colds and catarrh It is Invaluable. It’s use is Indicated in all cases of catarrhal inflammaiion and congestion whether of Res piratory organs, stomach, bowels oc other organs of the body. Mr. W. J. Temple of 300 Lincoln Ave., Delaware, Ohio, suffered for years with Inflammation of the mucous linings of the stomach hnd bowels. According to his owm story he did not eat a meal for five years without distress. He says; “I am a farmer and must be exposed to all kinds of weather. After years of suffering, a druggist recom mended Peruna. I took all together five bottles and am a well man. Formerly, I could not do a day’s work. ’Wow, farm work does not fatigue me in the least. Peruna Is the best medicine and tonic on the market. Time only strengthens my admiration for It, especially for catarrh and colds. Peruna is sold everywhere. You may buy it in either liquid or tab let form. Ask for Dr.. Hartman’s Well Known Peruna Tonic and if you‘are seeking health take nothing else. Insist upon Peruna. If you are sick and suffering, write The Peruna Company, Dept.’ 77, "Columbus, Ohio, for Dr. Hart man’s Health Book. The book is free and may help you. Ask your dealer for a .Peruna Almanac.

L Care and Responsibility. < T*HE responsibility attached to tbe preparing of a remedy for infants and children * is undoubtedly greater than tbat imposed upon tbe manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for tbe past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Sir. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are tbe£ responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care ^ith which the prescription for Fletcher’s Casyma prepared: could , they read the, innumerable testimqnials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings ana false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, tbe tried and trus Fletcher’s Castoria.

Truth shows no favors, fears no enemies. From the inception of Fletcher’s Castoria, Truth has been the watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in the preparation of Fletcher’s Castoria as well as in its adverting is due the secret of its popular demand. . ~ All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations.lack the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack all sem blance even in the words of those who would deceive. And you I Mothers, mothers with the fate of the World in you: hands, can you be deceived? Certainly not. Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children. It ia distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. ' The BABY’S need for a med icine to take the place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrupa was the scle thought that led to its discovery.
