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.

tolls why he wishes to join the or v-miyinff

"Mr. Oliver J. Sands, Executive
Manager, Tobacco Growers' Association,
American National

Richmond, Va.
"Dear Mr. Sands:
"I am glad to see that the tobacco
association of the state of Virginia
has gone into this organization, and
hope they will effect one that will he
of benefit to the farmers of the country.
x
"I was'in the tobacco business for
a number of years in Pittsylvania
and Henry counties, and after finding
out that all of my product was
under the control of tobacco warehousemen
and the farmers were forced
to take the price they set for the tobacco.
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.

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. No words apnea
r to have passed between the
nartie? :it the time of 4he shootiiif.
At last accounts Moore who had
triven up to the county sheriff of the
"ountv, was employing* lawyers and
they were making* anv,m?,oTfients to
ire* theii client o"t on hpil.
This killine* in Barnwell is iust f.nc
sample of what appears to h* "-oiwr
on in almost everv corner of South
Carolina, men falling out wi'h ove another
over the most trifling things
that could he thou Hi of, and t'~o?>
walking up and ki 11 intc or wounding
for life.
Such affairs are a blot on Hie fair
tipme of anv town. The ever-read v

Tlie next dose of calomel you take

is dangerous. It is mercury, tjuicksilver.
Tt crashes into sour bile like

should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated
and all knocked out, just <>;o to

Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetab'e substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
