In another column of this issue of
The Peopfle-Sentmel will be found an
interesting editorial from Monday’^
News and Courier in reference to the
bright agricultural outlook in Barn
well County. The Charleston paper
says that “surely Barnwell is to be
congratulated, for xyhat the melon
growers are accomplishing Inhere is
proof of what can be done wwhere
the right mixture df faith and works
is called into operation.” Thanks,

Tlie dan£e, I thought I was going to
take Basel to, was lo be some affair.
It was generally understood around
town that Hazel was fey girl and v I
knew If I didn’t take her to the dance
that the coal diggers on fey run would

After I’d got home and cooled off,
I gave myself a good cussing for get
ting into an argument with Hazel, Utt
I couldn’t figpre out a way to square
myself. I did call her up the next
evening, figuring maybe, she , bad
'changed her mind or that Johnson
couldn’t raise the price, but she
wouldn’t talk to me.
There was a big crowd at the dance.
I didn’t want to go but I’d helped get
It up and couldn't very well stay away.'
Johnson was there, all dolled dp like
a clothing store dummy and Hazel was

Double Pond News.
This is a great world to live in—if
you don’t weaken. But what wo start
ed out to say is ^that a newspaper’s
first duty to its readers is to report
facts a» it finds them. Several years
ago, when crop conditions in this coun
ty were very had, the editor was
taken to task because he published
the facts as news, some claiming*
that the county’s credit was bbeing
hurt. This year when conditions are
very fine, he has been critizised for
“telling the world” that this is the
finest section in the countiy, his
critice fearing that such news will af
fect the cotton market adversely.
With apologies to Abraham Lincoln,
we might remark that “you can please
all of the people some of the time and
some of the people all of the time,
but you can’t please all of the people
all of the time.”
Onp only has to visit other sections
of the State- to appreciate properly
the really excellent crops in Barn
well County. And, by the way, this
county is getting some “pleasant
notoriety” just at this' time, to borrow
a phrase from Col. Harry D. Calhoun.
The editor visited Columbia Thurs
day and at least a dozen gentlemen
from different sections of South
Carolina asked him about the crops
down this way, they having read
about them in dispatches sent out
from Barnwell to the daily news
papers. In commenting upon con
ditions in this county, which is pre- 1
eminent in so many respects, one gen- j
tlcman remarked that “Barnwell is,
Barnwell.” That, to our mind, would be
a rather unique slogan for this city
to adopt. -One hears and reads about
what other town? and sections are do
ing, but after all, “Barnwell is Barn
well.” There is no other place like it
anywhere in this great country of ours
That is not an idle boast. Ask any
body who has spent enough time here
to really get acquainted with the
town and its people and he will tell
you that “Bamweir is Barnwell.”

PLANT LICE AND BOLL WEEVIL
During the past week • numerous
inquiries have come in regarding the
outbreak of plant lice that have been
occurring on the cotton recently.
Where, the weather has been exceed
ingly dry and ac many , as three to
six applications of calcium r.rsenate
lias been had, in some cases there is
o large accumulation of plant lice.
As a rule these outbreaks do not be
come serious. At the same time, in
some instances they have apparently
done quite a bit of damage.
The control of plant lice Is accom-
plished by the use of nicotine dust.
Where cotton is being dusted for
the boll weevil 4 pounds of calcium
arsenate dust, along with two pounds
of nicotine sulphate is applied. The
second application of nicotine may be
necessary to control the second hatch
of lice. The nicotine dust feay be
applied along with calcium arsenate
'as described above, or may be applied
/eparstely. This material should
ibe used wwhile everything is quiet
and still, and if applied at night
should be done so the first part. Any
time during the day when it is ex
ceedingly quiet nicotine dust may be
fcpplied. .
Strict watch must be kept on the
boll weevil, and dusting must be con
tinued whenei. infestation is 15 per
cent or above. The next two weeks
will determine in a large measure
the damage done by the boll weevil.
So the time of serious damage by the
boll weevil is expected in the next
two weeks, -so it, is very necessary

sarcastically. “I pull down eight dol
