With the coming of an even more
prosperous era than we have yet had,
the farmers should not oyerlook the
fact that the boll weevil has already
made its appearance in Bamberg
county. Several specimens of the
pest were found here last fall, and
this presages the appearance of the
weevil in possibly large numbers this
season. The weevil travels from
place to place slowly, but the experience
of other sections is that when
it does appear it appears in force.
For this reason, it will be well for
the planters to bear in mind that
their cotton crop even this year may
he a failure. Bamberg county farmers?a
majority of them, doubtless
?are so bound to the cotton crop,
that we feel fearful of the result when
the weevil does actually begin to devastate
fields of cotton. It will
mean disaster to hundreds of farmers,
for many of them have not yet
learned the lesson of other communities,
and have not prepared for the
coming of the pest. It is going to
mean bankruptcy for many. 'Now is
the time to lay plans to beat the
weevil. There are other crops than
cotton?-even when cotton is thirty
or forty cents. Forty cents a pound
will do the farmers little good if
they have no cotton to sell.

The recent bad weather has ren- <
dered the Bamberg county roads al- 1
mpst impassable. This county has ;
some good roads in good weather, \
but bad weather makes them go an
to pieces. This is always a difficult '
problem?keeping roads in good condition
in bad weather, and we hope !
that some time soon some plan will,
be evolved whereby roads may be j
.good all the year. Supervisor Mc?; ]
Millan has built the county some, ex-1
cellent highways, and if some feas- |
- ibje plan can be worked out to main- ,
tain them after they have been built,
i ' 4 I
the county would easily rank among; j
the first in the State in the matter,
of good roads. Of course, the laborproposition
has made it impossible
for the county authorities to do any-1
thing much in regard to working out -j
any kind of a plan to keep the roads,.
up, but now that conditions are returning
to normal; it is to be hoped
' j that something will be done along
this line. During the past few years
f
the Ehrhardt road has been built,
the Denmark road has been built,
and the Hunter's Chapel road is now
being built. These roads, when prop- j
erly dragged, are magnificent high-j
ways. In addition to these, there
, are othbr good roads in the county,
but we find that when dragging is
left off for a few weeks, they go
backward rapidly. As soon as labor
is plentiful again, we hope that the
plan talked of some time ago, that
of letting out by contract or otherwise,
short stretches of road to
farmers or others living on or near
the road, such parties to be responsible
for the dragging of their sec*
tions of roads after each rain, or
whenever ?it becomes necessary to
give the road attention, will be revived.
In this way small holes
appearing after heavy rains
, would be filled at once before
they become so large that vehicles
have to encircle them to prevent
wrecks. The supervisor and commissioners,
we believe, had arranged
to put this plan into operation
when the unusual conditions prevalent
with the coming of war made
it practically impossible to carry the
plan on. We feel sure that when the
farmers get plenty of labor they will
be too glad to cooperate with the
authorities in maintaining the roads.
