Hostilities are said to have started when one of the gargges in volved in the “w’ar” sold 100-gallon gesoline cards for $28, or 28 cents a gallorr, this price being met by the ether garage, which made a price of ryfents for any quantity. The party cf the first part immediately cut his price by the gallon to 28 cents and an nounced that he would sell 100-gallon errds for $26.00, a still further re- • action. -The news will prove most welcome to local autofnobile owners who have been paying 30 cents a gallon for so many months.

Oklahorobia’s particular feat of valor occurred while his unit was ^serving with the French, and the citation re lating his exploit, signed by General Tetain, says: “Under the mest violent barrage he das^d to attack the enemy, pushing through 210 yards of barbed wire en tanglements. He rushed on machine gun nests, capturing 171 prisoners un assisted. He stormed a strongly en trenched machine' gun position, con taining more that 50 machine guns rnd trench mortars.” Oklahombi also was used often for seouUng dut'y ih Nir ManVLand, sev- i ral times penetrating the German lir.es while on this perilous work. He came through the war without a sented in the street parade; at the af ternoon and night performances a two i nd a half hour programme includes j the many acts, exactly as advertised on the posters and in newspapers. Special features of the performance are Tiebor‘| Educated Seals, the Ball playing elephants, Woodford’s animal statuek, The famous Ortons, the Sas- sai Japanese Acrbbats and Kyo Nam- ba, the man who walks pn his head. In Memoriam. As we have a very heavy infea- 1 tation of boll weevil in Barnwell Coun ty we want to use every’ means to dea troy all weevils possible before kill ing frost. As soon as killing frost lulls all weevils have left the <*0tton fields and found winter quarters. Therefore at once cut down and plow under all cotton stalks and clean up all trash. By doing the above a large r,u/ber of weevils will be destroyed. Ibis will increase our chances of mak ing a better crop of cotton next year provided not ever 5 to 8 acres of cot ton is planted to the plow. Fence your fields and grow more hogs and peanuts and less Boll Weev ils. ^ More wire fencing means piosperity to the farmer. H. G. Boyleston, County Agent.
