S. C. NEW HIDING PLACE The discovery of 1 >o 11 weevils i i tlie berries of China trees as reported in the last issue of the Herald s.mws that there may he unsuspected places where the weevils are harhoi ?d in the winter time and other of-seasons awaiting the time when the cotton fields will attain lie 1)1 Joining. One of the precautions taken in Aveevil-infested regions is the destruction of/.ill debris. 'I lie plowing under of the old cotton sV.iiks and gras> is also done and this re-u!t> in a smaller crop of the weevils the following year. Portions f land near the cortonfields allowed to l?e out or ffi'ow up ii^ weeds and bushes become a favorite hiding piace of Ine weevils during the winter, where they lie under limbs and leaves and come out again the next year untouched by the frosts of the cold time. The finding1 of the pest in a new place in all stages of development from the small grub to the fully developed weevil with wings ready to fly, shows that there may be places yet where they can live, and all such places should he searched out and destroyed in the farmer's light against xu ' lilt-111. Cotton must lie raised. It is needed for making1 cloth, it is possible to raise a good crop some years in spite of the weevils, provided the farmer knows how to fight the weevil effectively. By finding the places where he spends the winter and is preserved for his work the following season, the farmers will have made a great step forward in fighting him. Other farmers will search the trees on their farms after reading the ai tide in 1,'ist issue, These trees will doubtless disappear from the farms if it is found that they are all harbors for the boll weevils. o DESTROYING STILUS The destruction of a whiskey still without first having.the evidence upon which some man may be brought to trial for violation of the law is like letting down the bars for the cattle to escape, never to be penned again. In instance after instance the officers of the law have torn up the primitive outfits made from gasoline drums and galvanized pipes without any hint of who the offenders are. This seems to lie the plan of the sheriffs, the constables, the rural police, and also the state constables and prohibition officers. The finding of ,u still leads to nothing unless it is a quart of monkey rum, unless the operator of the still is caught. So long as the still is there the man may be caught. When the still is destroyed the opportunity at that place is gone, li means that the officer must locate another still before he will have another chance at catching tho vio'.ator <>l" tho law. The hotter plan would lie to lot the stills remain until tho man who runs it is caught and brought up to stand trial. The making of tho crude stills now heing used is an easy job. It costs very iit'lo to get tho outfit together, and while hid away in a swamp run oil* a charge. o The weather last week was as wai m A as it should be in June. * o Tearing down is e.usier than building up. <> Things once undone are hard to place together again. The growing of strawberries v as once a big industry here and was growing .-till bigger. It was dropped for other tilings, but will bo used again. The courts are making the r >.id of the transgressor harder and harder, and stPl the fools will violate the Jaws and hope to get ofV without punishment. < > It is no uncommon thing for men to spend many times what it is worth to save a few cents. Lack of good judgment and failure to manage well leads to such results. o It takes a thief to catch a thief. The man you beai going about .accusing others unjustly is apt to be the man who i> guilty himself, or if he is not actually guilty lie wants to be guilty. Now that the women have the right to vote they will naturally take greater part in the substantial things that fro to make up a good community. They will look aftev things now that they used to leave to the men to do and never got done. We believe it will he better for both the men and the women that the women now have the right to act and feel as if they actually had authority to do and will do the right things for the common good of all. o One of the most costly things this country has to do is the control of the bootleggers. It takes more and more to keep them down and yet they are not being kept down. They man ^e to iret the booze with which to airy on their unlawful traffic, and no matter how many men are emnloyed on the police forces, or other 'orces, the traffic g*oes on just as it i ! before. If it lulls down in one ection of the country for a li'ne it earns to he the signal for it to break i;h with renewed success in >ome her section of the land. 'This is the it is jvoinjr at the present time. Thimrs indicate that still more lr.en nust be employed and st'll more ^onev must be spent out of* *he hardearned taxes that we pay in order to try to make men obey the law. It is hard. PUBLIC ATTITUDE MORE ENcm R \GlN(i TO SERVICE COMPANIES. "Thinus like tit is encourage a public utility man to work harder than ever to make his service the best in the world," remarked a representative of a local public service company the other day, as he handed in a clipping aptioned "Why Not He Fair?" cut from "The Olympian Booster," published in a Washington city paper. "It is encouraging to see how the Dublic cenerallv is recoGnizine* nmvo and move tho difficulties in the oper uion of its utility companies and how the spirit of fairness toward the utilities is growing," he added. "Many folks who once had nothing hut hard words for their telephone, light, trac- ion and other service companies now help us serve them better by the encouragement they give us, and by making their criticisms when they vuist criticise, reallv constructive instead of just simply a 'knock.' I'll tell you that kind of an attitude oward us makes the utility man get up and hustle like he never did before to give the people of his town the best service he knows how or can 'earn how to make." The clipping says. "A community \vhich is not served with some form of public utility service, such as light, power, telephone, g.as, street railwav, water, etc., is almost unknown in tho United States. As a matter of f;ict I the smallest towns usually have all those conveniences and isolated farms have most of them. "If the average town or city did not have these utility companies there would be a great effort nvi-'e to interest capital in entering the field to establish the service. Rut with tho established companies the story is different. They are made the target for every form of political attack, and brave indeed is the newspap< i* o\ public official who dare raise a voice iiij their beh.alf. "The whole proposition is simple ir considered on its merits. All ihe utility companies ask is the righU to conduct thoir business on a profitable basis which will enaole them to make extensions and improvements to meet il. ? .. - _ .1 .J! il.. .1.1! - ... 1 j.ne neeus 01 uie pumic ai.u pu.\ a oturn to investors. "The utility companv has had to pay the same propor/or.at'j increase for its supplies and labor .us merchants have had to do, hut it i- not at libel ty to increase the se 1 iint?* price of its j commodity. Every man in business I and every laboring man knows the j raise in the price <>f his goods or labor in the past five years. If he stops to think at all he must know that utility costs have raised proportionately. "This being' the case how can any honest man object to a proportionate increase in utility rates? It is only just for the industry. "Commercial clubs, newspaper and public officials should be -as much interested in keeping alive an exiting utility as they would in getting a new one. It will pay to be fair with the utilities." ai)-arYcuts~ play a part The advertising service that is now pushed by the Heraid is beginning to toll. These pictures made into cut term in the Herald shop, by tin4 whole pa".e ;?t the time, received weekly, makes one of the great improvements put in by the Herald within the l.ust several weeks. All soils of advertising cuts and illustration.- are piling up at the Herald office ready to be used by any of our enterprising merchants or business men. In last week's issue was noticed the ; ice ad that appeared for Tyson, the d'.y-cloane.-. The picture in that ad was an .ad .rt m nduct ion :md it heii?e>i I * - " ? - I to make one of the most attractive 'i pl.ys ever made lor a business of that kind. This service is costing the Herald,] out it is not costing the users of ii me cent more for tlie space occupied. This is the part of it that should be | interesting to the patrons of this paper. When you wish to get up a new idea in your advertisements, either big or little, call at the shop ,und see the great supply of cuts that are accumulating there. There will be one in the lot somewhere that will suit your purpose, or if it is a big display you are after, several may be selected, even a half dozen if that many is wanted, <>r even more if the space will t.'tke them all.

I withdrew from the tobacco business and went into the stock business in Pullaski county, where 1 could raise just what crops I could consume on my place, and not submit to the tobacco warehousemen or commission merchants. "1 do not think the farmers will really get their dues or will succeed until this organization is perfected. I have 'always contended that the farmers could get together and manage their business just as bankers or other organizations are being managed, and until they do this they will npver succeed in the tobacco business.

TYSON, the St. A IY, S. C., MAY 25, 1022 BARNWELL FRAY CAUSES A DEATH There was a terrible tragedy enacted in Uarnwell on Saturday before hist. Virgil Weather^bee, a young white man of that county, ,ugcd about l(> years, was shot and instantly killed on the streets of Barnwell by O. P. Moore, a business man of Snelling. The shooting took place at the side door of JelVcoat's garage where, it is said, .Moore was standing and where his automobile was being repaired. At the inouest held shortly after lie killing it developed that tjhcre had been bad Mood between the parlies for some time, it being alleged that a short time ago the dead man fired from his house into an automobile in which Moore, with friends, were passing along the road. It is further a!-1 leged that threats had been conveyed( to Moore that Ivs life was in danger m the hands of young Weathersbeej who. it is said, line! threatened to kill Moore upon siyM. Policeman Ross, who saw the affair. or at least a part of it .ami was the first to reach the dead man. testified that he ran up to voumr Weathersbee as he fall and found Ivinjr hy him a large revolver and upon examination found that a shell in the pistol had been recentIv snanped on. Moore, it is understood, claims that vouiuv Wenthorsbee walked un toward him. pulled his pistol, aimed if "t him .nnd snapped it, whereunor. ho (Moovo> nicked un his pun, which was '*n tlie uito?>v>hile nenrhv. and <=hot the vounsr man.
