CAN EXTERMINATE WEEVIL? Bamberg County Citizen Believes Ii Can be Successfully Done. In conversation some days ago witl a well known citizen of this county the editor was told of a plan this cit izen had for exterminating the hoi weevil. Since then he has writter out his plan, which he believes woulc eliminate the weevil almost if not en tirely from the south. For reasons of his own, he asks that his name b( withheld for the present. Below is given the plan as he states it: f. The boll weevils having increased rapidly and covered practically the whole state of South Carolina in 191S and 1920, it becomes the duty of ev ery patriotic citizen to do an in nis power to find some method by whici this pest can be controlled or destroyed. Our government has beer fighting the scourge for the past 2S years without any favorable result The cost of this effort has been enormous, but more appalling still has been the cost to the cotton farmers from losses sustained by the weevi] ravages. J The government experts have practically admitted their impotence in even checking the weevil's advance, They only tell us to "pick up the forms and use some kind of poison; it might do some good." The plan here suggested seems to be an entirely new one and is worthy of discussion and trial. We know it to be a fact that weevils reproduce themselves only in cotton. We know that a weevil .cannot survive the hot sun of an August day for as long as an hour. We know that the rigors of our winters destroy 90 per cent, of the weevils. We know that under weevil conditions we gather no cotton that blooms after August 1st, the rest is only food for wreevils. Now, denude the growing cotton of all foliage leaves, blooms and squares, on ^ ~ 9 ' August 1st with some deadly poison (Paris green will do it); the leaves, "blooms and forms fall off and dry up, leaving the mature and partly mature bolls to open, and they will open rapidly as they will be exposed to the sun. No fresh squares are left in which the weevil can deposit eggs and reproduce. It is an accepted theory that the active life of a weevil ia about 60 days, then it is readily seen that the winter will begin with only a limited number of weevils on hand. N They winter killing 90 per cent., we will begin the next season with a very small percentage of weevils on hand. Repeat the following season and you have destroyed them for good. We, therefore, get rid of the weevil and produce as much or more cotton as of we permit the pest to run his course unmolested. This plan will of necessity be unversally practiced in order to reap the desired results, namely, the total eradication of this nefarious pest, which has heretofore baffled the skill of our government experts. WILL TRY TO GET PRISONER. Charged With Murder About Pi^e Years Ago. Lancaster, Oct. 17.?Sheriff John . P. Hunter, accompanied by Assistant Attorney General Morris Lumpkin and R. S. Stewart, Esq., of this city, left Thursday night for Detroit, Mich., where they will appear in habeas corpus proceedings instituted by John Mcllwain, wanted here for the murder of Ernest M. Williams in November, 1915, on Saturday morning. Every effort will be made to bring the prisoner back, but he is fighting extradition on the grounds that he will be lynched if brought back to Sou*h Carolina. A true bill was found against Mcllwain last Thursday by the grand jury and if the sheriff is successful in getting his prisoner he will be tried here on October 27, his case having been set for that date Owing the the political situation in Michigan, the negro holding the balance of power in that state, it is said. Sheriff Hunter is doubtful of being able to obtain his prisoner, though every legal effort will be made to do so. This is the sheriff's third trip to the Michigan city after Mcllwain, and is the culmination of a chase lasting nearly five years.

Stegall, Of near here, recently related the following interesting account of her recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was sick three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; just had to lay and zny little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't ?at, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought Biz bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it saved my life." ' For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardui successfully, in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If you suffer as these women did# take Cardui. It may help you, too. At all druggists.
