Britton's Neck. Benny Watson
nephew of the proprietor and a clerk
in the store, went down to the
bridge and had some words with Rebecca.
It was stated that she used insulting
language and picking up a light
wood rail struck the young white
man once or. the arm and was in
the act of striking him a second
time when he picked up a hoe and
hit her in the head. Victoria, it was

The wound became infected and
Rebecca was taken to the hospital,
where she died some days later from
blood poison.

LORIS BUILDS
BRICK STORES
Mrs. r.oula V. Belamy is about to
complete the erection of tv o store
buildings at Loris, S. C.. fronting
on what used to be lrnown as T*:?ttei*aon
Street. The building is of brick
c>nd of modern construction and each
of the store rooms measures 25 x
70 feet. It is said that Mrs. Bellamy
?vill likely move into these
new stores with her mercantile business
within the next two or three
weeks. Formerly she traded under
the name of Loula V. Cox but lately
has changed the name of the business
to Bellamy Dry Goods Company.
She will carry a getie?al and
complete line of dry gods and millinery.
There has been quite a lot of improvement
at Loris within the last
tv>o years. On the Front Street next
to the railroad nearly all of the
I wooden stores have been torn down
and replaced by modern brick stores,
which add greatly to the appaerance
of the town. These new stores being
ercted by Mrs. Bellamy on Patterson
Street extends the business
section ihat much c-way from the
railroad and they acid much to the
busines apeparance of that part of
the town.

TO HELP CONTROL WEEVILS
Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalks
Thoroughly and Clean the
Fiolslvi Th ?rlil\r 1
Clemson College.?The earlier the
cotton stalks pro destroyed, 1ho fewer
the boll weevils that, will survive the
winter and conseque/.tly the smaller
the damage to the npxt crop, says
Pvefessov A. F. Conradi, entomologist,
who advises that as far as possible
the stalks he destroyed at least two
weeks beforo the first killing' frost,
for the early fall destruction of cotton
ste'ks is practically the most important
single step in any system of
fighting the boll weevils. In other
words, cleaning of the fields, destroying
the stalks, and the planting of
cover crops constitute most powerful
weapons for weevil fighting now in
the hands of the farmers, who by of
ficient fall farm management can dictate
to a great extent how many weevils
shall pass the winter on his farm.
This fall cleaning program is also of
the greatest benefit generally in destroying
the winter homes and the ,
winter food plants of other injurious
pests of the farm. (
Boll weevils multiply in cotton until
frost kills it. Many thousands of
them may occur in each acre of cotton.
Weevils hibernate, that is they !
pass the winter, only in the full
grown state. Hibernation usually be- ,
gins with the coming of the first '
killing frost. The weevils hibernate 1
principally in cotton fields, and stand- ]
ing stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The most favorable :
condition for successful hibernation
is found in fields where cotton stalks,
KTass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted piieU and burned. This
%
has the very .-serious disadvantage of
destroying a large amount of vey.etablo
matter which should be turned
U' der. Whenever the farmer
e. uipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have heen cut down
with the chopner, it is a very effective
plan. A less effective method
is to graze of all preen cotton within
' ;>*inpd of a few days. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
*r.u^t he thorough.
Some of the many advantages secured
from cleaning the fields and
destroying1 the stalks aio: (t) A

of the estimates are between 80

42. We know that the; yield will be
small, that spinners stocks are low.
that cotton is not being marketed
ra]?idlv, and if the official Condition
Report proves to he below 40 we
may see higher prices.
American con umption last season
amounted to 4,8S7.893 bales.
Kxpoits last season were 5,724,584

Making a total of 10,6.12,447 bales
If tno 10'Jl crops proves to be 6,300,000
bales and American consumption
and exports equal last
season's figures, it will be necessary
for spiners to buy at least 4,000,000
bales of old crop cotton in
order to fill their requirements.
While it will probably be the policy
of the South to sel judiciously
where 20 c and above can be obtain
ed, we think they would stubbornly
resist any important decline below
that figure. Meanwhile, with an
undoubted short supply owing to the
practical failure of the crop, the
spot owner holds the whip handle,
and we should see 23c to 25c cotton

DAIRY FARMING
AGAINST WEEVIL
Way of Fighting the Boll Weevils
In Horry County
Suggested
(By \V. O. Davis, County Demonstration.
Agent.
Last year Horry farmers got
their first ta.-;t<: of boll weevils; this
oar they got their stomachs full
, 1 -1 ? i > *
c.-tiii u.o uusu na. maue tnem sick.
Boll weevil damage has mado
.hem iook lor a change in thoir system
of farming' and naturaliy they
are looking to livestock. There is
no line oi" livestock work that suits
our needs and conditions as well as
dairy farming. We do not mean a
farmer should quit other lines ol
farming and engage in dairy woric ail
together. But there is nothing thai
will fit in with our regular work
as a "lew dairy cows on the side.
These cows will use summer and
winter legumes planted for soil improvement
and feed converting it
into a monthly cash income derived
from the sale of cream, furnish
skimmilk for the pigs and poultry,
and at the same time give us stable
manure to use in place of high
priced fertilizer. What better combinaiton
can you find?
KiirmPVK flint Jim /'liftincr tlioir
acreage of cotton and tobacco can
well plant this land to feed for
cattle. Corn with velvet beans, so\
beans or cowpeas will furnish ex
cellent feed when supplemented with
pasture or hay. No more cow?
should be kept than can be fed with
home grown feeds for it will abso
lutely not pay to buy high priced
feeds and expect to make money.
Neither will it pay to feed and care
for a scrub. A scrub will require
just as much feed and care as a
pure bred or grade but will only produce
half as much milk or butter.
It will pay in the beginning to get
clear of the scrubs and invest the
money in good grades bf pure breds.
We have creameries in the neigh- 1
boring towns that will furnish a
ready market for all the cream wo
can produce in Horry county, and
pay for it every two to four weeks.
Any one interested in shipping
cream can get further information
about getting started from the
County Agent. Personally I know
of no other line of farming so well
suited to our present needs and conditions
than dairy farming a? a side
line. For the small farmer. It *
furnishes h market for all the feed 1
he can grow, a monthly cash income, (
skimmilk for pigs, and cuts out 90 (
per cent of his fertilizer bill and at
the same lime builds up his la:id as 1
nothing else will do. If you are |
interested get in touch with me.

COMMITTEE IS
NOW DELIGHTED
With the Great Pr agrees s in
Obtaining Cooperation of
the People
Co'r..-,ibia.- - At a mooting of the or
:>i i ivit'o-i committee of tho v-'outh :i<t
Cotton Growers Cooper it:ve
Association i*. wa-s decided to o\
!. n ' tho cr?i } ign for j ignuturos to
contracts into the c- untie.- of York,
Vichland Darlington, Lancaster,
Greenwood. Dorche. tor. Lxirgton.
Chester, Dillon, Marlboro, Kershaw.
Oconee, Newberry, McCormick, '.ee,
Laurens, Calhoun, Greenville, I'ick
ens and Saluda.
The conrinittee expressed great d
light with the progress bei?"r vi-1
in the campaign. Great enthusiasm
for the movement was expressed
from all sections of the Stou-.
The committee has issued a state
ip.ent setting forth the benefits o
the cooperative markeing sy tern
compared with the present marketing
system. Extracts from the
statement follow:
"Who controls the cooperative
marketing system ? Producers acting
through their cooperative sales
agency.
"What is cost of operating the
present system ? The producer pay*
the profits and expenses of the long
line of buyers and dealers who operate
between him and the milis,
nnrl ho also n.ivs for an average of
t" " " - ? ?' ~ -samples
per bale, for weathci
.adages and irany other wasteful
and unnecessary charges.
What is cost of operating the co
operative marketing system? Cotton
will move direct from the producer
to the warehouse of his selling
agency without any cost except
transportation charges. When sold
by the association, the full amount
received, less the actual cost of main
taining the association, will be returned
to the growers. Wasteful
samplings, weather damages and the
profits of many handlers will be en
tirely eliminated.
"What is the present selling plan
Dumping as soon as harvested
which forces a year's supply of cot
ton on the market in four or five
months and inevitably breaks the
market.
"What is the cooperative selling
olan ? Orderly and systematic sell
ing throughout the year, according
to demand, which will be a factor in
establishing the market and minimi'.:
ing bear raids and efforts of speculators
to break the market and lower
the price.
"Grading and stapling in Mie pres
<-mt. system is entirely m the hands
of buyers. Tt i* a matter of common
knowledge that cotton in the hands
of fa-r.^iers is almost universally undo
rgr^dod and staple values ignored
?n local markets, which are the markets
in which farmers sell.
"Grading and stapling in the co-,
operative system is in the hands ot
experienced and competent men in
the employ of the cooperative marketing
association. Every member
will get the full benefit of the grade
and staple value of each bale he produces.
This alone will mean ae
average profit in excess of $10 per
bale.
"Weather damage by the present
system. From an average of
$6 to more than $25 per bale?all
paid by farmers.
"Weather damage by the cooperative
system. None. All cotton of
all members will be stored and insured
in bonded warehouses.
"Results of the present system.
Poverty, child labor, hardship and
distress, poor churches, poor schools
and unsound and unstable business.
"Results of the cooperative system.
Fair and staple prices representing
cost of production and
profit. Independence, comfort, good
churches, good schools and stable
business."
