The business management of the wper ? very glad too, because it takes cold hard cash to run the papor prd ?? ** it out complete each week in the present .style which is satisfying each and every reader. It takes time, it takes care, it takes hard thought, and cold hard dollars also to run The Hemic! as it is rur now, and if people knew just how glad it made us *'iI! feel for them t-o pay us a little money, there would be more of the men ,md women, boys and grirls com in p; in every day and having: their names enrolled at the price of one dollar and fifty cents. Those who think that the pap^r might be a gold mine for us are sadly mistaken. We are the most dependent people on the face of the earth. Now Christmas is coming. Make us glad by sending in the money. ON FIGHTING" CORN WEEVIL Clemson College.?The heavy loss fu.m the corn weevil, particularly in the Piedmont section, has brought voany inquiries for control methods. I-arcre amounts of corn have already be^n ruined in the fields. The use of pure seed of standard vr.*rieti#?s and carehtl ann lai selection of ears well covered jt the tips will do much to relieve the trouble, says .T. L. Carberv, Extension Agronomist in Plant Breeding, who advises also that where weevil infestation is heavv, the corn should be '-'hucked in the fieM to avoid storing the weevil for further damage in the corn crib. Many weevils live over winter in nubbin ears left in field, therefore, ?nch ears should be carefully removed. Since most corn cribs are of opert onstruction. carbon bisulphide can not be used very effectively particularly where larg-e quantities of " orn are stored. Under such conditions better results may be obtained by hanging building paper of "loth curtains around the exterior of the corn crib, fitting closely to prevent escape of the gas. Cloth treated with beeswax or a mixture of paraffin and gasoline will serve well and last a lone: time, and it can be removed and replaced as desired. Where the bulk of corn is too great to fumigate effectively from the top in the usual way, the liquid may be conducted to the point of distribution on the interior of the pile through small gas pipes. A thorough fumigation of the corn will kill not only weevils but also rats and mice if means of escape are cut off. Smaller quantities of corn, peas, etc., BAY! 0 CALOMEL ightens You Up Better Than lomel and Doesn't Unset - I > Work?Read Guarantee tongue, ague, malaria, sour stomach or any other distress caused by a torpid liver as quickly as a dose of vile, nauseating calomel, besides ii will not make you sick or *eep you from a day's work. Calomel is poison?it's mercury?it attacks the bones often causing rheumatism. Calomel is dangerous. It sickens?while my Dodson's Liver Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat anything afterwards, because it can not salivate. Give it to the children because it doesn't upset the stomaeh or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight and wake up feeling fine and ready for a full day's work. 4 -V f * .

C Claris on College?Several rears . ngo <he Agronomy Division on Clem- < ion College realized the value of community co-operation in cotton growing and inaugrated work along this line | ;n spvo v.M 1 counties of the state. The 1 I work will be further developed next 1 reason, as an aid in fighting the boll < weevil. 1 Community cotton growing is the planting; of one pood variety chosen by the growers of a community and further improvement by seed selection each year. One of the beneficial results to be obtained from this plan is the difc'V'dinK of inferior varieties, or so called varieties, which .are beinir 1 "Town in South Carolina, and which 1 "au?e a large part of the cotton crop to be of low quality. 1 It is the common belief of many i farmers that a variety runs out after i having; been prown for several years; 1 but if proper seed selection is main- \ tained. the variety should be improv- i ed both in yield and in quality and ( become adapted to local conditions. The so-called running out. of varie- ] ties is due chioflv to crossing of var- t ieties in fields close together and to t mixing1 of seed of different varieties < at public trins. ? These difficulties may be overcome if the mowers would adopt one {rood variety and prow it exclusively. This would result in the production of ;? more uniform and better qualitv r staple that would sell at a premium, \ for buvers are fast demanding great- s er uniformitv in length and quality i and are willing to pay for these t things. s Earliness prolificness uniformity \ and length of staple .and a hi eh per- (1 centage of lint are some of the quali- r ties sought in producing a desirable t cotton for growing under boll weevil conditions. Co-operative (growing Lessons 1 Weevil i)amape i v Wlien many varieties are planted I in a community, some are earlier ( fruited than others .and the weevils will have multiplied on the earlier fruiting: cotton and immigrate to the .< inter fruiting varieties in such num- \ bers as practically to destroy the i crop. 1 The variety which begins to bloom j first is not necessarily the best, for i there are three distinct factors in j earliness. These factors are: (1) < time at which cotton begins to bloom. 1 (2) the rapidity with which blooms appear after blooming starts, (3) Vngth of time required for fruit to 'eveloo after bloom opens. A great many people have overlooked the second and third points and have judged the earliness of cotton entirelv on the basis of time it begins to bloom. Actually, points two and three are more important than point one and should be care*fully considered in choosing the .variety for earliness. In the final analysis high yields and better quality at reduced cost per acre are desired. Varieties Rocommended for Adoption According to tests such varieties as Kinir. Half and Half. S imlrins. and Cook have shown undesirable J qualities and are not to be recom- < mended. J The following varieties which have < given best results for South Carolina < conditions are recommended fyr com- J munity adoption: < 1. Short staple varieties?Clove- J land.

Some of the prow- , srs of potatoes for table stork hr.\ e formed associations and certify the potatoes sold under their naiie. Such , potatoes are certified for domestic consumption only, and it can readily >e understood that such a certificate 1 would he utterly meaningless from a grower's standpoint. Certificates for seed stock indicate 1 'heir purpose clearly and give tlio 1 small percentages of disease and ?ther defects found in the crop by inspectors. Buyers can get copies of these certificates from the grower when buying. If a dealer offers for sale seed potatoes which he claims to he certified, he ought to be able to . show a copy of the certificate. If ho has neglected to get it, he c.in still tret it later. Inability to show such [i copy or secure it should he co?* -idered efood evidence that his claim is false. The buyer should make sure that ihp certified nfttntnftfi hmio'hf frw ?re certified for seed and not for rlomestic use. WINTER CARE OF REES CI em son College.?It is time to put hoes into winter packing cases, in making fhese preparations for winter 5are of bees there .are three very important things to he remembered, says E. S. Prevost, Extension Spo^'Hist i,Boe Keening. First, the packing cases should be made of good seasoned 'umber and the packing material should be thoroughly dry. Second, there should be a good queen that rvill be re^dv for work early in the "ring. Third, there should be a sufficient amount of good quality honey i'ov winter stores. In recard to winter stores, her keepers are cautioned that the smv ner and f"l' honov nviv orv rapidlv and b^#?<? cannot use i* for Pood when in this condition. TherePore. where the honey lias crystal- j zed winter feeding must then be < lone. Tf there is occasion to open [ho lives at this time of the vear. be "ire to .select the w.arm portion of he day; otherwise, there is danger vf chilling the bees and losing the ;tand. \ O ] SHORT MORTGAGES j 1 The short form chattel mortgatre f lesicned by The Horry Herald for | ise in place of the old time bills of | ale, are steadily growing m nopular- , ty.

J MURDERS DONE AT HERRIN, ILL., (Continued From Last Week.) i The Slaughter at the Fence The first desperate violence to the prisoners came after fresh bands of men from Zei^ler and other points had joined the mob, marching the prisoners toward Herrin. Approaching the power plant, a vounqr chap, .ibout five feet seven tall to whom recognition was ^iven aleader, halted the prisoners and their escorts. He pave orders for the column to move to the right which would take the prisoners oP' the road find nnt th<?m infr? flirt wnn/lc . f vv VIIV " VV/MO IU4V l\ VJ the power house. At a point immediately in the rear of the power house ami not more than 250 feet distant from it, the prisoners were halted .about twenty *"eet from a four-strand barbed wire fence The prisoners, or 47 of them, were lined up as targets. The 500 armed men were arranged in two squads, forming a shallow "V" or semi-circle. This boxed the prisoners \t\ and gave them no opportunity to get away from the gunfire, except through the barbed wire. The command was given, and the dead and wounded beKan to drop and a "rabbit" hunt with men as the game ensued. Many who got through the wire were killed and others wounded. Some of the wounded were mutilated after they hrtd been brought down to earth by bullets. Reporter Sees Mutlitated Victims T,-?e first newsoaper man to arrive on the scene, in the woods, J. E. Hendricks, of the St. T.ouis Post-Dispatch, had been held up an hour in TTerrin by a crowd which had t^ld him that what was going: on was the town's own business and was nothing for the newspapers. Finally he got free enough to follow a crowd streaming through the woods from Herrin. Arriving at the scene of thr ivassacro. ho saw several of the pris oners with their throats cut and onr n-<'in hanging to a tree. At another' point where it apneared at least six men had been taken into a cemetery. p~d three killed and three wounder their clothine showed that they had | boon draiyo-ftd over tho wound, after' having been tied with rope. In the far distance men could be seen run-' ning, pursued by little groups of other men, much as rabbits running from hounds. Another account, given by a man who went armed with the mob, says: cr PROPOGATING GRAPES Now Plants Secured from Cuttings and Layers. Clemson College.?All of the bunch grapes, such as Niagara, Concord, and Deleware, may be propagated from cuttings made from this season's growth. The cutting should he not less than 8 to 10 inches long find should have a good well develop?d bud at each end of the cutting, says Prof. C. C. Newman. Horticulturist, who thinks that the best canes lo use for cuttings are those that liave about three buds to every 10 inches in length. After the cuttings have been made they should be placed their full length in the ground, 0 inches apart n 3-foot rows. The trench should :>e filled half full of soil and packed irmly, ami the cuttings covered entirely with loose soil, with the top )ud even with the surface of the 1 ground. If the soil dries out readily 1 t might be well to mulch with leaves i >r straw so as to conserve the mois- i ;ure. Next November or December ] he cuttings will be well rooted and < eady to transplant to" a permanent place. TheScuppernong, James Eden, and >ther varieties of the muscadine type ' nay be propagated from cutitngs, J irovided the cuttiners are made early < n the fall. As a rule only about 30 < 0 AO per cent of the cuttings of the J nuscadine grapes will live, while < 'i'om 00 to 05 per rent of those front J he hunch grapes will grow. If only < 1 few vines of the muscadine type of * nvipe are desired, these may he root- ] ?d hy layering.
