R County Agcnt Bowen says the fi bugs are not boll weevils, and he tl - backs up his opinion with this state- S ment: "I will pay one dollar for a every boll weevil found in a cockle ti burr stalk root aN long as the dol laris last."

Wil liams, members df the Pickens county legislative delegation, are heartly in favor of a bill to have the legislature meet every two year's, instead of every year as at present. Mr. Leo yard, our other member, is not con vinced that bi-ennial sessions will be the best. He fears it will be ne e cessary to call too many extra ses sions. Changing the time of meeting would require a constitutional change and the people would have to vote on it. r e A bill has been introduced by Mr. 4, Leopard and passed the house pro viding for the security of all public funds of Pickens county deposited in banks. This measure would direct s the county treasurer of Pickens to protect all funds coming into his hands and deposited with any bank n by requiring thc. bank to' secure the ' sfety of the funds by ettering into a bond for them in such amount as the treasurer shall require as in his opin ion will be necessary to protect Pick ens county from loss of the funds d by reason of failure of the bank, or e otherwise. The bill also provides ! that the county treasurer shall be 1. Iliable upon his official bond for fail o ure to carry out the provisions of the act. A new law has been made to pre vent slanderous remarks about the condition of any bank in the State. " The income tax bill has passed the house and is now up to the senate. A bill has been introduced making [.1 it a penitentiary offense to violate n' the prohibition law, without privilege of paying a fine and no judge could suspend sentence.
