Obituaries und Cards of Thanks: Ono Cent a Word. Entered at the postoflice at Laurens, R. C., as second class mail matter. LAURENS, S. C., JULY 27, 1921 "I have been in hundreds of torwns and cities during the ,past few months," said Col. T. ID'. Darlington in a telephone message to The Adver tiser several days ago, "and I have not seen a prctlier public square than we have in Laurens. Nothing I have seen excells it In beauty and tasteful arrangement. The ladies of the Civic League are to be congratulated on Its ap)earailce.'' The same thing has .been said by other local traveling -men, Lr. T. J. 'McAlister saying practically the same thing as Col. Darlington, while many out-of-town people have ,been heard to commilieIlt on the beau ties of our present "show place." The Advertiser agrecs with theii all and thinks the Civie League has made a genuine hit in th:'jr work at beauti 'ication. Readers of The Advertiser who are not readingA the articles on the history of the Piedmont section xritten by D)r. J. W. Daniel and rieprinted in these colInins from lThe Soutihern Christian Advocnte, ate missing some very en tertaining as well Ias informative and inspiring articles. Dr. Daniels, one of the coun ty's foreiost products, loves to hark U.'ek in his writings to his old county and no one is more con versant with its history than he. 11In article, reprinted today, deals largely with Maj. Jonathan Downs, an early patriot, whose memory most of us -have sadly ieglected. Dr. Daniels suggests that we erect a monument in his memory aid we ought to do it. 'While not wishing to shelve lie sug 1gestion, Th .\dvertiser would suggest that we miht select one of our beau tifil res 'cd nee streets with common rplace names and change it to Downs strc't in hlo:)'r ,f this "Old lRoman," as Dr. iin ivs cnlls him. "Alain Stre' t'" fo' in-tane, conveys the sug gn 1 of :1 Ileies torough1fare, although it is almiot entirly a 'esi lnat::il awt anil should have a namie llore in L( ; i'vg' with its beauty. Why couldn't we do honor to this noble patriot and give a pretty street an ap propria te name at the same time by na in ,t fler (hI;. Mues CounIty hero.

Moore, of the facul ty of the University of South Carolina, had the 'comnnunicatlon in The State Monday morning in regard to -the boll weevil, poison remedy ,which The An vertiser and other South Carolina pa pers.have published news items about during the past few weeks: Fron time to time I have noteti accounts of ploionling the holl wee vil by the use of a mixture of cal clum crsenate with blackstrap mo lasses. Knowing the general un re liability of the olservations and etn clusions of those Who have had no training in Ecle'ntliflc experimentation, I have pl-aced little faith in these re ports. Ilowever, to satigfy a natural curiosity and perchance to add to out too meager knowledge of the boll weocvil, I ha':e just convleted apr limniinary experiment, ,.which is staik in g in its results, so much so that I hasten to replort on it wtli the hode that it may cven this lato day (lelmi farmers to check to some extent thi: rave ges of the boll Weevil this season. The experiment was conducted as follows: U(ler each of four large glass jars a stalk of cotton was placed. The jars were n u mber-ed I, 2, :1 and 1. Into each three live antd active -boll weevils Were introdulced. Te latter promlil.Ay en te'red the squ arVes and fed freely upon them. A few drops of .poisoned molasses were thcd placed upon the leaves of the plantt in jars 1, 2 and 3. Al a cheek, the .plant. in jar No. 4 was lqft without polson. The next morning one weevil in jar No. I was dead and two in Ja: No. 2. Diring the several follow ng days others died, until oti the lIfth day all three weevils in each of the three poisoned jars were dead. O the tiree weevls plac d in t1he zt poisoned jar ene was well and active. one was acciden-4ally crushed in re rcmov ing the jar, ad the -third coUnhi not. he fonild. 'IhIe observed facts. therefore, are that in cach of the poisoiCd jars all the ,w ccvils werce found dead, while not:e in the u:! poIsoned jar died a iiatutil fitat.
