Watson Will Make No Furthoi* Fft'orts .to Solve Servant Question. Commissioner Watson says he has waked up from his dream of solving the domestic servant problem in this section, which is steadily growing more acute by substituting foreignwhite servants for the negroes. "I'm done with the job." said Mr. Watson with a sigh. "There's 110 use. I wili make no more attempts, at least for the present, to bring | white servants to any part of the State. Conditions will not warrant further attempts along this line. There are some instances in which the experiments have proved successful. in which both sides continue satisfied: but these are few and far between. The chief trouble is the matter of pay. People in this State are unwilling to pay the increased price for white help. They'll start out with a thorough understanding} of what they are to pay and begin right away bragging 011 the relief they are getting and everything will work lovely till pay day. when there is a grand split up and the jig is all up." It is not merely an idle dream that Mr. Watson has been having, for he has been working with the energy characteristic of him for several years, trying to bring relief to the iong suffering public, but has met with disappointment so far as the general plan he inaugurated was concerned, and he has become a quitter only after the most determined efforts in different directions and after the most exhaustive study of the situation. .His first attempts failed because of social conditions, the help he located leaving after a time for the north and the west, even where it was well treated and amply paid. These were intelligent people of some education, whose lives were made miserable by the nagging of negro servants in the same household. and who found nobody outside to associate with. And the commissioner also soon saw that it would not do to have young girls working as servants far away from their friends and relatives. The commissioner next devised a plan of bringing the foreigners in in groups of families, and he secured 1..' ..'I-, /-.lor- c- nannlo in thic TV P V in^Il"Uia.^o lu vu*w ?? v%t. . He found places for the parents on farms near cities, the sons and daughters working in the cities. .Mr. Watson thought he had got on the right track at last of the solution of the vexatious problem not only locally, but throughout the South. People who got this help told him and told j their friends how satisfactorily it was working, and the domestics wrote home to friends and relatives to follow their lead. Mr. Watson went to work with that boundless enthusiasm and buoyant optimism that has already marked his endeavors. The situation really warranted j him in entertaining confident hope j of having found the key to the situation. But he has been having some j rude awakenings lately. So steadily! have these jars been coming in that even the commissioner with all his; good fighting qualities acknowl-. edged defeat for the time being. | The coming of the Wittekind j people had a most salutary effect on : the negroes, not only in Charleston j and Columbia, where the quaint visi- j tors were seen the most, but in near-1 ly every town in the State. The negro women servants and negro i men thought they had genuine com- i petition that would drive them out 1 of their jobs. Lazy, ailing, shiftless and impertinent cooks. washerwomen. nurses and waiters took new leases on life.and became competent, willing, obliging, respectful helpers with such a suddenness as to even startle themselves. But this beautiful situation is a thing of the past now. At present when a housewife or her daughter goes out to hunt up a servant she is met with the reply on all sides: "You know, I doesn't hire out 110 more," with an air that indicates amazement that "that white woman" has not learned before this that "this colored lady" lias reached that stage in social life. .Mr. B. L. Jones, of Newberry, has been elected superintendent of the Laurens graded schools, and has accepted. .Mr. Jones quit teaching a few years ago and went into the insurance business at Newberry. He was a candidate for superintendent of education in that county, but withdrew in order to accept the position at Laurens. .Mr. Jones is a brother of Mr. T. D. Jones, principal of the Khrhardt school in this county. According to the Atlanta Constitution. a Georgia farmer posted this sign 011 his front gate: "Candidates will pass 011. 110 time IU Lclirv LV-' rui. One morning his little boy shouted from the garden walk: "There's one o' the canderdates here, an' he says he'll come in anyhow !" The old man looked toward the gate and said: "Let him in.

I'nited States bureau of entomology | has just completed a special investi-! gation to determine the exact present status of the boll weevil. In thiswork, entomologists have visited thirty-four representative localities. ; Of these localities twenty-four were j in Texas, seven in Lousiana, two in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas. The result of the examination in-j dicates that the damage by the wee-1 vil was considerably less this year} than IbOT. Another important in-i dieation is that, damage by the boll j worm, although extensive, will not | Dffset the reduced damage by the boll weevil. At ^ach of the places visited careful examinations were given a num-; her of fields which were selected to) represent the general condition of { the locality. In almost all cases: fields were visited that had been examined earlier in the season and al-i so during previous seasons.
