In every instance, on the advice of the Clem son Kntomologi.-al Division. I advised the tanners to vait until next year tJ akc up tbe problem of poisoning wee? vils I had t\\<> reasons for giving this advice. One was I did not believe trw?t tbe weevils would do enough damage this .ear to Justify poisoning ? hem with calcium arsennto, and the other was that T wanted the farmers to get the improvement upon the ma ahlnes that was likely to be brought owl and to get the benefit of the ex prlenee that the Division of Entomol <?gy would get this gear's poisoning weevils In the real weevil territory of Barnwell, Hampton, Bamberg and other counties. The experiments to date show that when properly applied, calcium arsen s/te will keep the weevils subdued so that a crop of cotton can be nroduced in spite of the boll weevils The fort unahflcd by stating that the proper kind or calcium aruenate. So you see that there is a great deal to be learned ab??ut this poisoning proposition, prof, eesor Conrad! has agreed ;o hold an Areenatc lmstlng Demonstration lr tfumter county on August 30, on the farm of Mr. Iseaac Strauss, three miles couth of Sumter. -beyond Pocalla, on the road to Paxvllle. Some of the best machines that have been gotton out, both the hand and rower machines will bo demonstrated, und specialists will show you how to make a success of the poisoning method. Every farm? er that his any Idea of fighting the boll weevil should come out to this demonstr itivin and study how he can make a success of growing cotton in spite of the boll weevil. Many farmers will not come ont. but will listen to the salesman of calcium arsenate and dusting machinery next spring, make their purchases, and probably fallto get the desired results. Such a farmer will have no one to blame exeenevhim? self. If he fulls to take advantage of : studying this demonstration 'n Sum- ! ter county, which will be hell under ] the auspices x>f trained Investigators who have given a large part of their < time In recent years itudylng this con- ? Iroi of tbe tsdl weevil by poisoning j \nd other method.' I So do tiot fall to come oot Monday, 1 August SI. \nd learn all that you cm. y I cordially Invite a member or the I staff of each of the newspapers in < fhimtcr tu attend this Demonstration, J Mid give Opinion of what may be the I results of controlling the boll weevil 1 through the calcium arsenate p(.,son- ' Ing. Our newspapers will play a b'& 1 part In helping to direct public opin- 5 Ion In the proper channels for the next ' three years, during the crisis caused by I the appearunce of the 1k>I! weevil In I Sumter county. The boll weevil never ! does much damage foi^tbe irst year or 1 two after his appcarnnc and this I ?*ads the farmers to hellev? that he 1 I not nearly such a bad fellow as he has been represented to them. .lust about the tlm* that tbe farmers be. gin to believe that the boll weevil Is not a dsngernus insed. he gives them a hit of a surprise and takes un? to himself half or sometimes more of UM fruits of the farmers labor. It tl needless to say that such is discour? aging to the farmer and ho begin* to cry out that he Is ruined. When the Sumter County Boll Weey vil Coirlmlsslon made the trip througg ricorgia. the weevil bad made Its ap? pearance around, Ainorlcus for the se? cond year, ami the farmers had begun to boast that the weevil was not going to damage them very much In that cjhuute. I was told b> a fanner from Amerleus thai the weevil literally cleaned >ip great numbers of the farmers who were not farming to guard against the weevil disaster last year. Kaceamiily poisoning weevils adds to tho cost of producing cotton and. It will be necessary for us to do better farming to make as much monoy on tho farm as we have been making- I have never seen a man that was will? ing tn> have bis income curtailed, but we are all livim; to increase It. It will not pay (o poison weevils on land that will produce Itaa thunr three hundred pounds of lint COtton per acre and you know that is above the average yield ] of the South. p.lgbt now l^i tbe lime to begin to plan to i educe the cost or expense of Sowing "ottou. ib.- last way to do is is to redpee *mr fertiliser bills t>y growing covet <iops of ryo and by growing relvel bearjs Is nur corn, i should like to sc? i number of acres on every farm in Sumter countv sown In ;< covet crop of rye doting the months of September ?101 October. hn not ail to gg present at this Demonstration of poison dusting ma rhtnrry on Isaac SlrauKs' farm.

Dalzell Defeats Sumter Mugwumps Gel Dire Revenge On High and Mighty- Bulldogs The Dal/ell Mugwump! lied I can to the tail ol the Slimier Bull dogs yesterday St Dalw n In one ol the pret? tiest games of ball played at Dal/ell ,ist? ni.iv. ii was a rotten battle and when Iii?' Cigarette smoke had cleared SWay lite score Mood, or rather leaned 10-7 the Mugwump! holding the big end of the score. It Is a sad tale to tell, especially the Hull Dog tail, for the game they put up would have even put to .shame the Philadelphia Apa? thetic*. It was the first, defeat of the season tor the Sutnter buys, atid thin one defeat should be excused on that account but when we consider it was their first game, oh, well. The game was played for the benefit of the Suni ter 'pressing clubs as the boys played in their good clothes, and evidently thought they were in a foot ball game instead of a hall game. Teddy Schwer? in received some minor injuries to Ids, trousers and was shown to he in good form. Tlie game started ausplclous ly for Sumter when it was seen that the great and mighty Baby Ruth Skinner was In the box for the visi? tors. He had a pretty wind up but after be wound up he could not go off. The first ball he pitched was a beautiful one, it sailed so pretty over Schwerin's head, and the more the pitched the higher he got. Teddy Schwerin was a bear behind the plate, playing pig tail like he beats the drum: in Garbor-Davis. He retired early in the game however when he jumped In the air for one of Skinner's balls and caught it on the promitory of his right Index. Sk'nner was relieved early in the tirst part of the first inning and was retired to outer darkneg3 in favor of South Paw Pitts. Pitts could not see the plate however and he was re? tired in favor, of North Paw Spann who managed to tininh the game. Sev? eral little boys were kept busy hunt ng for balls that he threw away. The least that could'be said of Hlack Boy on first was that he was second to none. Five balls were thrown toward him but they did not stop there. Man? ager Bowman sent in an S. O. S. from left field and was relieved by Brent Mellctte who felt much at home out in the corn field. One time when he miss? ed a ball ho was evn heard-4o say, "oh, shucks." The feature of tho game waa the batting of Bub Shaw who aeci dently fouled one. Coon Deas made a wonderful pick up in the field when the ball fell into the weeds and after taking out a search wariat he found It and got It to first before the run? ner to get to 3d. Mir. Bull played a very pretty game, making not a single er? ror. All of them wiere double. Tue sponsor* for the Sumterltes were out in full f?rec. Miss Mary Knight of New York and <Sumter acted as spon r.ress and waH assisted by Misses Mary Stuckey. Marion Knight and Jeanette Ligon, all of New Pork and Sumter (mostly Sumter). They waved their ?olors vigorously when Sumter boya uame to bat. They waved them so vi jorusly when Bub Shaw came to the bat that he could not see the ball and ?ot mixed up, and hif it. The people yrho saw the game were very fortun? ate. Those who did not sec It were jven more fortunate. Realising that Sumter people do not want to see this kind of ball the team from Dal? le! I has been engaged for a return Tame here ip the city. In tl\e mean? time Dick Gainley, manager of Sumter Tigers has sent /orth tho chal? lenge from his lair to Manager Bow? man of the Bull Dogs and they will at? tempt to play a game at the l air Qrounds soon if it doesn't snow. All fans of the town who want to Bet I i*ood game of ball they are advised to stay awav. COTTON LETTER (John P. Clark & Co.) New York. Aug. 19?Cotton develop? ed extreme weakness today follow? ing the break of yeaterday. Liverpool was a heavy seller. Wall Street sold on the Opening but bought later and there was heavy scattered liquidation from all sources with an indifferent demand. There way nothing in the news to accoun' fair the weakness. Crop advices v ere unfavorable The main reason for weakness possibly is lack of demand for spot cotton In the South. Prominent people say there Is no demand for new cotton. While this condition continue* It may be difficult to rally future a even If De? cember Is five V ents under spots. The liquidation however ha's been drastic and a sharp upturn any time would not surpiise us.

The request of the railroads include a 20 per cent increase in pasenger tares, a 50 per cent increase in Pull? man charges and a 25 per cent in? crease In freight charges. These are | identical with the interstate rates as fixed for this district by the interstate commerce commission. Under the law of South Caroflna passenger fares may not be fixed in excess of three cets per mile and since the granting of this portion of the petiton will be vio? lation of this act the state commission will be unable to grant this section of the request. The rartroads, once the decision is announced will then take the matter of passenger fares up with the interstate commission for final de- I cision. The express companies have filed I two requests asking in all for a total increase of 25 per cent. The inter? state commerce commission has auth? orized a 12 1-2 per cent addition to class and commodity expres charges. The hearing-is set for 11 o'clock in the office of . the railroad commission in the Lib'erty National bank building.
