P. 21 The Times editor does not pi cloud to pose as a holl weevil expo', t. lint there are some thivgs that arc beginning1 to be manitVot to a'l intelligent observers. One thing is the fact that the boll weevil is here, and in some sections of the county he is present in great numbers although the present year, with it ex.essivc heat and unusually dry woa'her, was destructive to the boll* we vil. Had this been a wet year and had there been several cool spells al ,, r thiough the season some farms would have been practically eaten up by the weevils. As it is, we know of quite a number of farms that have been seriously damaged by the weevils this year. Next year, experts tell us. there will be far greater damage, if we continue under the uid method There are those who are teTng uthat Union County will not he very hard hit, that we are too far upcountry, that we have always had boll weevil in this county and b never has done any harm. As to .his last statement^ we beg to say: For fourteen years The Times ediu . has had a bottle containing about a dozen boll weevils and enough alcohol to preserve them. They came fr<.m Texas. During the last year there were something like twenty various bugs and beetles caught by farmers in the county and brought to The Times edi tor as possible boll weevil. Not on;1 of these proved to be a boll weevil, as could be easily discerned by compari* son with the sample already on hand. But early this year a real boll weevil was brought in. The first one that carhe to us from the county was from Bogansville township. Many people x said, "that is no boll weevil." But they were wrong, and we were right, for now you may go into almost any r cotton field in the county and gather quantities of the weevil. The weevil travels north and west at the rate of about 65 miles a year, making his adYM^hce in August. He will sweep the northern section of Spartanburg County next year, and in Union County he will get in a full year's work. This he will do unless we find a way to combat him. The advice given in the mass meeting in the courthouse Tuesday contained two prime points; 1.?Destroy the stalks in the fields by Oct. 10. 2.?Pick the weevils in the spring, beginning in May and continuing up to August. Poisoning with or without syrup is too costly and not greatly to be relied upon, particularly in seasons when there is much rainfall. Besides it costs too much per acre to poison unless our yield were much greater. That the gentlemen who spoke in our mass meeting were along the right line is proven by the testimony of Clenison College experts. They give the two methods?destroy the old weed; pick the bugs. So there we have it. Tf it is too much trouble to pick the bugs, you will stand a poor show to raise cotton another year. It is certainly no waste of labor to destroy the old cotton stalks. You put the vegetable matter back in the soil and you get your field in better shape for spring. We shall continue to advise the farmers to pursue these two methods of meeting the situation until we can find some better way. To tell them to raise no cotton is easy to say but foolish advice. What will they raise, if they raise no cotton? v ' \ J lP| Ml Mik&sl Our oat says it ^ to mend a break than break your neck. Our cat say9 liberty is worth fighting for.

His list began with aviary and went right on down the alphabet to xy lophone dealers, skipping so few lines of business that none would take the place. Just above the imes Square section of Broadway an aged property owner had a vacant five story building that an automobile sales house wanted to lease. The papers wen. drawn up, and when the in teres; e< parties had gath< red to si^n it, the automobile representative remarket that his concern was going to put "i nice electric sign on the roof." h< owner laid down his pe n and said 11 electric signs were getng on top o his building.

Foerwoman of Soap Factory Student at Bryn Mawr * Kansns City, Knn., Sept. 21.?After j putting in two months at Bryn Mawr College this summer, Miss Louise .Beau, hamp of this city is back at the f soap factory where she is a fore, woman. The previous education this Kansas ' girl had er.joyed halted abruptly at the eighth grade. She then went to work in the factory wrapping cakes of soap. She continued at it several years, until she was chosen to go to Byrn Mnwr with all expenses paid. This was part of an experiment conducted by the college authorities, women labor leaders and alumnae this year for tho rat time. Eighty-one factory workers in various parts of the country were given scholarships, and had every advantage of college life and education at this well-known Pennsylvania institution. Then they went back to the work they had left. "Of course, I didn't expect to get an education in eight weeks? a person couldn't be expected to," the Kansas City girl said. "But J did enjoy it, certainly, and I think I got a good deal out of it. I tried to get all I could." Miss Beauchamp came back fired with ambition to do something to lend a helping hand to her fellow workers and better their condition In every way possible, she says. ; "How would you set about to 60 it, if you had a free hand?" inquired a visitor. "I'd unionize them," she replied promptly, "and work for better hours and better pay." - 4 WEEVIL ^ 1 ION OF STALKS gy Teat In TCkaai ps from other, cotton.
