INFURIATED MOB RIDDLES
BODY WITH BULLETS
How often have you heard local farmers say,
‘■'’My cotton is ’gbmg to pieces,’ shedding excessively,
leaves ragged and turning brown, drying up and
dropping?”
Such a condition is caused by POTASH HUNG
ER, RUST, and LOW PLANT VITALITY.
Do not let it happen to your crop again this year—
avoid this heavy toll that robs you of your PROFIT
by SIDE-DRESSING your cotton NOW with from 50
to 75 pounds of Muriate of Potash along with the
Nitrogen.
Potash is a TONIC for cotton and it makes the
BOLLS STICK and mature normally.
This INSURANCE will cost less than $2.00 per
acre and in 1929 it paid South Carolina farmers
FIVE for ONE.

Ask your fertilizer man for potash or get your lo
cal mixer to mix you a NITROGEN-POTASH TOP
DRESSER. EXTRA POTASH PAYS.
\
- Mop your cotton NOW with the 1-1-1 Molasses,
Arsenate-Water Mixture. \

Reports cn the boll weevil situa-
'ion in McCormick county are far
from encouraging, according to
Thos. W. Morgan, county agent,
who advises all farmers to con-
inuc to keep a close watch on the
cotton plants, especially the late
cotton, and make applications of
poison as soon as any sign of the
weevil is seen.
The situation is made worse on
account of the fact that owing to
the continued cold weather of this
spring, a greater part of the cot
ton crop is from two to four weeks
late. This late cotton will be es
pecially hable to damage from the
weevil if poisoning is not started
early and kept up throughout the
period of danger.
This late cotton should have an
application of poison before the
first squares are as large as peas.
This will kill the old weevils that
have come out of hibernation and
are waiting for the squares are
large enough to be punctured. Re
peat the first application in three
or four days, and put on a third
application in one week after the
second. Then poison at weekly in
tervals for several weeks.
The poisoning with the liquid
mixture should be continued on
the old cotton until the branches
make the stalk too large to be well
covered with the mixture. In us
ing the liquid poison and mop on
the older cotton, rake the mop
through the leaves of the stalk,
thereby applying some of the mix
ture to the under side of the
leaves. After the stalks are too
large to poison with the liquid
mixture, dust should be applifed
with a standard dusting machine,
where a man has or can get such
a machine. However, it has been
proved time after time that we
can control the weevil with liquicfr
poison if we start in time and keep
it up long enough. A number of
McCormick county farmers have
made an average of a bale of cot-
/On or more per acre every year
for several years, using nothing
more than the l-l-£ mixture ac-
2ording to recommendations.
As to the mixture to be used,
stick to the standard 1-1-1 mix
ture, made of one pound calcium
arsenate, one gallon water, and
one gallon of molasses. This is
by far the cheapest and most ef
fective mixture that can be used,
and any farmer will be running a
risk by experimenting with other
mixtures.
Another important item in the
fight on the weevil is to sidedress
the late cotton with a liberal ap-
^cation of nitrate of soda or sul
phate of ammonia as soon as pos
sible. This has probably already
been done on the old cotton, and
no tin^ should be lost in getting
it around the young crop. Do not
apply over 100 pounds of either
material at one application. If
more than this amount is to be
used, apply it in two applications,
splitting up the amount in half at
oach application.
* Cotton is growing since the
weather has turned warm, says Mr.
Morgan, and we still have a chance
^-o get out 10,000 bales of cotton
this year. However, to get this we
shall have to do some hard work
in poisoning and side-dressing dur-
ng the next two or three weeks.

Tonight his body lay in an un
dertaker’s establishment here
around which a cordon of national
guardsmen had been thrown to
prevent further violence and to
frustrate rumored plans of the
mob to burn the body. Although
talk persisted for sometime that
an effort would be made to secure
the body, officers in charge de
clared the feeling had quieted
down and that they feared no fur
ther demonstration.
The national guard, mobilized
under orders of Governor John G.
Richards, arrived on the scene 30
minutes late to prevent mob ac
tion. The soldiers, under the com
mand of Lieutenant Harry M. Ar
thur, were held under orders to
night, however.
Sheriff J. C. Greer, who with his
deputies had assisted in the search
for the negro after the attack had
been reported, was unable to cope
with the maddened mob. Although
more than 1,000 men were estimat
ed to have been searching in va
rious sections for Jenkins, many of
them were miles away from the
scene of the lynching whan the
negro was shot.
The young married woman told
officers the negro had assaulted
her after accosting the tvro of them
on the highway and ordering them
into the nearby woods at the point
of a pistol. He threatened to kill
them if they resisted or made out
cry,'she said. \
The younger woman succeeded
in jerking away from the man, she
said, leaving part of her torrv
clothes in his hand. She ran to
spread the alarm and attracted the
attention of one of her brothers.
As the youth rushed to the scene,
the negro fired at him, he said, and
he, being unarmed, fell to the
ground and faked death. The negro
becoming frightened, made his
escape as other male members of
the family began to arrive.
Jenkins was employed as a labo
rary by a highway construction
company working near here but
had been dismissed yesterday.
An inquest into his death was
ordered held.
