Richard I. n: nii!ra, on his return from
a too of th.' holl weev i st ri::kcn ter
ritory of 1.:iisian.a, MlIssi :aippi and
Alabama. T. governor says the farm
ers and hit: 'ness men cf South Caro

else dire r .i and disaster may result.
''hose who shut their cars to the
warning voice brought from the farm
ers of the Mississippi Valley may reap
the whirlwind, and where today they
are living in ease and plenty with
good lands and good cotton crops
they may flad themselves with no cot
ton, their lands worth less than noth
ing their labor gone, and ruin staring
them in the face if they do not pre
pare.
"Prepare! Prepare!" declares the
governor of South 'Carolima, fresh
from ta pesonal trip through those sec
tions of the <"tinn helt which have
been ravaged by the boll weevil. [lere
is an in:tan o of what the holl weevil

In the pais,'h of\ West Veliciana,

Manning visited that, stricken shot and
saw the condtiIlons himself.
In the parish of East Velleiana,
Loui:iana, !n 1901 35,000 bales of cot
ton were grown. This same county
last year after the coming of the wee
vil raised only 2,836 bales of cotton.
Governor .\Manning and the commis
sion to Inspect the boll weevil terri
tory flrst stopped at New Orleans,
where they were met and entertained
by the business men. There they
studied the credit side of the condi
tions brought about by the ravages
of the boll weevil in the cotton dis
tricts. The Governor talked with .lohn
M. Parker, the Vice Presidential nom1
inee on the Bull Moose ticket, and ia
prominent business man of that city.
From New Orleans the Governor and
h'is party went to ilaton Rouge, where
they met [lhe farmers and business
men and talked with them of the boll
weevil conditions. The Governor and
his coinmmis.s (in viht e( the territory

oil mills furnish a ready market for
the soy beans, which extract the oil
from them, while the velvet canbs are
great soil builders and make line feed

does not want the people to become
panicky, but insists that they must
prrpaie fo rthe changed conditions, or
disaster might befall them.
Governor Manning picked somve of
the boll weevils out of the cotton bolls
in Louisiana and brought them back
with him in alcohol. ie pans {o make
speeches to the farmers over the state
on this subject and will have some
thing to say on it In his message to
the General Assembly.
South Carolina has prepared for the
coming of the weevil in the work
which has been done in tick cradica
tion, as pointed out by the Governor,
and with one more year the State
should be rid of the ticks entirely.
This measure is a precautionary one,
which will be more .appreciated when
the weevil comes, he thinks.
