TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1921. by Clemson College, the county agents and many others well qualified to speak. There is going to be a very goodly number of Union County farmerr. who will follow the suggestion, but will be so late in doing so that the result will be worthless. Just today a good friend of ours, a Union County farmer, came to us and said: "We simply simply cannot get our cotton gathered by October 10, and that is all there is to it." And so it will seem to many. I; will be hard to destroy the stalks so long as there is a little unopened cotton remaining c-n the stalk. But, as you may see, if you will think it over, the cotton remaining in the field after October 1st will be inferior and small in quantity, provided you have kept up with the picking. It will be hard to con\ince yourself that it will pay to plow it under while cotton is 20 cents the pound. But you will note that the spring crop of boll weevils is but ' per cent where the stalks are de stroyed by October 10. and the per rentage rapidly increases every we<4 thereafter. If you intend to plant cotton next year it will pay you well to destroy the old stalks early in October. There are many skeptics throughout the county, even now. Tney do not believe the boll weevil has arrived. They foolishly believe that the boll weevil will do no serious damage in Union County. Somebody has told them that the Piedmont section is immune. The people of old refused to heed Noah's 'preaching nnri the flood came and took them all away. There will be some to heed the warning, let us hope. We will continue to publish the directions in every issue of Tin Times, up to and including .October 10. We are deterrfiined to drive home the warning, whether it be heeded or not. As has been pointer! out before, no county has ever yet heeded the warning until one rear of complete disaster came. We fondly hoped that Union County would be the exception. If it is not the exception, it will be no fault of ours.

If the conference be secret it n il I but add to the already ? rowing suspicion and hate that are eating at the hearts of the rations. The ugly case against "Fatty" Arbuckle goes merrily on. Some there b? who tell us that the newspapers should not publish such trials. But the fact remains that pitiless publicity is the best safeguard the public has. It will do n<> g> od to cover up the festering sore in the body social. Publicity purifies and publicity severely punishes. Many a criminal has found a way to escape the clutches of the law, yet has found severe punishment in the wrath of the public brought about through publicity. And we further venture the assertion that many of those who have condemned the publicity given the Rrbucklc case have not yet read with avidity every )ir? published.
