The farmers of Horry County must work their brains as well as their hands in fighting the boll weevil. i 0 . 1 Increased production is the only thing that appears neccessary to down the prices of some of the materials used in building. { ? The raising of hogs and other live stock is the means whereby money ! can be turned out of corn and other food crops. o Horry County is blessed by the fact that her farmers can depend to a large extent upon tobacco as a moaev crop in place of the cotton acreage. Some, of the other counties of the State have no good tobacco lands to plant. There is money in live stock and in raising food crops. In states where the boll weevil has put cotton out of business, the bankers are already loaning money on food crops as well as on the fine live stock that is being raised by the farmers. ft ??? f Clean methods of farming are rec- I ommended as a remedy for the ravag- I es of the boll weevil. Cleaning up the fence rows and ditch banks, and turning the land under just before the first killing frost, will have the effect desired in killing the weevils, though this cannot kill them all. The only trouble this country is hav ing from radical tendencies comes from the foreign element in the army of labor in the big industries; and of course, a few fools that still exist in our own nation. o It is a great pity the farmers of this county coukl not have done more build in^; on their places in years gone by when lumber and other materials y Mere cheap. It costs a great deal to put up even a small building now. o The trouble that will come to those who buy land now at the high price:*, , if any comes at all, will be from the ( decreased income from the lands should the price of products go down I below their present levels; and in i that case where ;here are mortgages, i the debts may take the land. ??? 1 Hard times may strike this countrv about the time that the present inflated condition begins to die; and at that time it is thought that the price \ of real estate may slump to some extent. But the present land values in j this section of the State have come to stay with exception of some temporary causes like that above mentioned. The .specialists from Clemson College are stressing the fact that while a poison has been found for the b 11 weevil, yet there is no means of ap- i plying the powder to the cotton plants so as to make the cotton effective, j While there are agents said to be push ing the sale of several different contrivances, more of them will work and the farmers are warned not to put their money into any of them. o Some of the farmers in Horry j County have not yet waked up to the fact of the presence of the boll weevil already in their midst. They have doubtless planted cotton as a money j crop for twenty years past or more; and they think it impossible that a pest should arrive to destroy the cotton to such an extent that it would not be profitable to plant the cotton any longer if certain precautions are not taken. 1 o The advent of the boll weevil will he some time forcing itself upon the farmers of the county. They may read several times that the weevil has arrived, and yet not realize that this means that in the course of a short time they must change their ways of farming, and depend upon other things besides cotton for their money. The important thing to do is to try to make the farmers know the meaning of the weevil.

Dispatch. (Jan. 14, 1920.) j OBITUARY. Mitchelle Collins Cooper, the sev- J onteen months-old daughter of Mr. | and Mrs. T. E. Cooper, died at her home in Wilmington, Monday, the twelfth of January. Little Mitchell'1 was the youngest member, who attended the Collins family reunion which was held during the holidays. Ker death came as a shock and was leceived with deep regret by all who knew her. R. I. P. It is with much sadness that we are compelled to chronicle the death (if oui good friend Nineteen Nineteen, of the well-known Anno Domini family, who passed away recently, having attained the ripe old age of 1 365 days. Nineteen Nineteen was born January 1 and died December 81, after an eventful life that had rather more than its share of disagreeable experiences. He managed to keep decently clothed and fed, despite rapidly increasing prices, and* also was able to add considerably to the billions he inherited upon his birth, which was coincident with the death of his nearest relative, Nineteen Eighteen. Nineteen Nineteen started his life placidly enough, but during his early middle age was attacked by a complication of nervous social unrest and maglignant labor disorders, which afflictions he carried with him to the i grave, although it is not apparent that they hastened his end. His death was predicted by some to take place on December 17, but, to the jov ; of all, he passed through the crisis period successfully. There is , likewise, nothing to indicate that the coal strike served to hasten his end, although he was subjected by it 4o jkeen physical suffering. His financial interests and the va- 1 ' rious ailments to whieh he was sub- j ject apparently absorbed all of Nine- \ teen Nineteon's time and energy. At | any rate, it is a matter of record that j i lie accomplished in the realms of art land letters than some of his immc-1 diate predecessors, and nothing at all, ; in the way of diplomacy.?Life.

We have plenty of Pence Wire and Nails, something the other fellow has not got and can't get. But we have not marked it up just the same, like the other fellow might do under similar circumstances. We started at the bottom and our business has grown so rapidly that we are accused of using pure gold Fertilizer. We hope to grow still faster in the future than we have in the th? JL past. Your co-operation is solicited and will be appre- JBLr ciated. We under buy and then under sell.
