Fish- bume, of Columbia, telling of the Abrams cancer treatment. He had been a sufferer from this dread di sease for many years and had tried all sorts of so-called “cures” in vain. He states that he has been completely cured by the Abrams treatment. This article was read by Mrs. G. M. Greene, of Barnwell, who immedi ately took the matter up with Capt. Fishburn and the physician who ad ministered the treatment, she hav ing in mind a Barnwell County suf ferer. After finding out the approx imate cost, Mrs. Greene appealed to the charitable people of the county through the columns of The People, and in addition did much personal so licitation. As a result of her good work, Mr. John Bryant left Barnw-ell Monday night for Chattanooga, Tenn., to take the treatment. If he is cured, the credit will in* largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Greene, but we are glad to have had some small part in publishing the article by Capt. Fishburne. If Mr. Bryant re turns home a well man, the satisfac tion of having taken even this small part in the saving of a human life will greatly compensate us for many of the trials and tribulations incident to the weekly grind of newspaper life. Attention is railed to the fact that a little more money will be needed than has been pledged and thoae who wish to let charity "begin at home” should lose no time in seeing Mrs. Greene and making a donation.

The boil weevil baa practically cov ered the cotton belt, but there eeetna to be no marked reduction ia the amount of cotton grown as a result. The fact is the boll weevil can not and will not overthrow the South’* greatest crop. : /' : 1> How ere farmer* meeting the boll weevil most auoceasfully? There are two main ways: (1) Pushing the cotton to early maturity and (2) Kill ing the boll weevil. The following questions and angwers give the main things that are being done and also the mistakes that are being made: PUSHING THE COTTON CROP. What soils are preferred for hasten ing the crop?

Calcium arsenate sprinkled from a . perforated ran or from a cheese bag on the young plants Is the most efficient and ecwnjmical method of killing the weevils on the young plants.

Picking up squares is not as efficient nor as inexpensive as poisoning, hut If thoroughly done a fair to good crop can be obtained. Is poisoned molasses applied to cot ton effective?

The Creator baa given all plants the power to absorb through their roots plant food and to resist all that is not plant food.
