LAURENS, S. C., JUNE 15, 1921
The Advertiser is going to some of
its subscribers late this week. The
linotype motor, a very esential piece
of machinery in the printing office.
gave a heaving sigh Monday afternoon
and quit work for good. It was nee
essary to wire to Atlanta for another
that afternoon and it was Tuesday af
ternoon before another motor could be
installed. This necessarily caused
some- dela and omission of copy.

Considerable :.ublicity has been ;iv
en a proposed boil weevil extermainant
which has recently Leen apparently
resurrected in Georgia after it had
been abandoned for about five years.
The difference between the poison
mixture proposed and that ordinarily
used is that it provides for, a sweet
smelling ingredient to attract the
weevi! rather than to wait for hin,
to hit upon the poison in his travels
over the stalk. A formula of molasses
and calcium arsenate is used which
in some sections, is said to have prov
en very successful. However. aglicul
tural experts have come out w. ith a
statement to the effect that the mix
ture is useless. The AdvertisEr has
mutch respect for our scientinfe work
ers and bel ieves they are doing a
very valuale work, bIit it h-:l ieves
that it "ssi'.le for them to go

CUmINS SO0N TO
LEAVE CLEMSON
Commandant Goes to Fort Leaven
worth Oftlcers' School Under Or&
ders.
Clemson College, June 12.-The
military part of the recent commence
ment at Clemson college was tinged
wN Ith an element of sadness on the part
of the faculty and students because of
the fact that Col. J. M. Cummins, com
mandant of cadets, is soon to sever his
connections with the college and leave
Clemson. As has been announced
previously Col. Cummins has been de
tailed by the war department to the
officers' school of the line at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, next Septem
ber. Col. Cummins has been com
mandant at Clemson altogether for
six sessions having served four years
previous to the war and two years
during his second assignment, which
began with the session of 1919-20. He
has been not only a most efficient of
ficer but a genuinely popular military
officer and citizen of the community,
and Dr. W. .N. Riggs, president of the
college, thinks him the most efficient
commandant Clemson college has ev
er had.
At a chapel exercise just preced
ing commencement the corps of ca
dets !)resented Col. Cummins with a
handsome gold-Ilned silver cigarette
case with the inscription, "To Col. J.
N. Cummins with best wishes from
the cadet corps of Clemson college."
The presentation was made in behalf
of the corps by G. G. Gilmer. presi
dent of the senior class. Everybody
here is osrry to see Col. Cummns
and his family leave CIemon coicge.
and the best w!shes of all who know
him go with him to his new ield at
Fort Leavenworth.
Another popular officia!, whom
Cleniron college is sorry to lose is
Rev. .J. M. Sto ey, who for several
years has been rector of the Holy
Trinity Eipiscopal church and for the
last two years co-operator in charge
of vocational ins.ruct!on for federal
board students. At a meeting of the
federal board students during com
mencement week. lr. iD. W. Daniel,
director of the academie departmen,
p)resented to Mr. Stoney in behalf of
the federal board students a hand
sone gold watch aith his initials en
gravexd thereon. Mr. Stoney has don(
excellent work in directing the af
fairs of the federl b oard students at
Clemson college and has wone thc
admiration In his work of the collece
authorities as well as the students
the nselves. lie leaves Clemson in
July to become rector of Christ EFpis
