The subject so ably presented here is of such grave import to the State and to Chesterfield County that we would like to republish this article until we were sure that every man, woman and child in the county was impressed iU.. ; """" ? ? viLIi uic warning iu 1'HM'rtKb. The Eleventh Hour The letter of Mr. David R. Coker, printed in The State last Thursday, is to the purport that there is ABSENT FROM THE MINDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA FARMERS REALIZATION OF THE FACT THAT THE BOLL WEEVIL IS AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE STATE AND WILL OVERRUN IT IN A YEAR OR, AT MOST, IN TWO OR THREE YEARS. Every public agency has done its best to warn, even to alarm, the farmers, but the truth remains that thousands of farmers REFUSE TO TAKE WARNING. The Governor, the General Assembly, the farm demonstrators, Clemson College, scientists of the University and the press have exerted themselves ; for years to prepare the people's .....i - ?> niiiiwo (IIIU IW cuuat' LIU* people LO adopt measures by which they may, with minimum loss, meet this calamity. A large proportion of the people are utterly indifferent and unbelieving. Some of them imagine that a boll weevil will never enter THEIR fields. If further effective work it to be done by way of preparation, the bankers and the merchants have got to do it. Unhappily, some of the bankers and merchants are as fast asleep as some of the farmers are. When credit is proportioned to the willingness of the farmer to enlist in the work of preparation for the pest, the farmer wi II heed. Mr. Coker has outlined the work.' It has been outlined hundreds of times. What thy. fidfrmer should do every farm as lenows who cares to , ^^is the ELEVENTH HOUR, but I time remains for slumberers to ) awake. I If the furmers will not listen to Mr. I Coker they will not listen to The ' State, but at least The State does not neglect to emphasize what Mr. Coker has said. The year of preparation for the boll weevil in South Carolina is 1917 and IT IS THE LAST YEAR FOR EFFECTIVE PREPARATION. PRESIDENT S PLEA FOR PEACE Bonar Law, the British leader, comnenting upon President Wilson's speech in favor of peace, talked with nuch feeling, if not bitterness. He said, referring to Germany: "The Germans swept aside all barriers to . peace. They tore up treaties which hey themselves solemnly signed. I'hey strewed mines in the open sea. They committed every atrocity on sea md land against the Hague convention which they themselves had signed. They made war on women and children. They destroyed neu.rals as ruthlessly as they did their enemies. They are at this moment lriving the population of conquered territories into slavery, and worse even than that they are making some of the subjects of their enemies take up arms against their own country." Honar Law compliments President Wilson upon his speech and upon his efforts to secure peace in Kurope but adds: "It is impossible that he and we can look from the same point of view. We are in the midst of war. America is neutral. We are not neutral. President Wilson's speech had the aim to gain peace now and to secure peace for the future. This is our aim and our only aim. He hoped to secure this by a league of peace and he not only spoke in favor of ,uch a league but he is trying to induce the American Senate to take the steps necessary to give effect to it. It would not be right to regard this proposal as altogether Utopian." The British leader closes with these positive words: "Our aim is the same as President Wilson's. What he is longing for we are fighting for. Our sons and brothers are risking their lives for it and we mean to secure it. The hearts of the people of this country arc longing for peace; we are praying for peace, for a peace which will bring back to us in safety those who are fighting our battles, and a peace which will mean that those who will not come back have not laid down I their lives in vain." j^j^^^^^^toesident'a appeal f HE VEGETABLE GARDEN Preparation Of The Land Clemson College, S. C., Jan.?It is now time to prepare for the spring garden. As sdon as the soil conditions will permit, the land should be thoroughly plowed and sub-soiled to a depth of from 12 to 14 inches, and then harrowed until a perfect seed bed has been formed. Any available barnyard manure may be scattered broadcast and thoroughly incorpor ated with the soil by repeated harrowing. If only a small quantity is avail able, it will be best to apply in the drill and mix thoroughly with the soil. Even though many of the vegetables WOMEN'S WOES Chastarfield Women Are Finding Relief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Keeping the kidneys well has spared thousands of women much misery. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that is endorsed by people in this locality. Mrs. II. M. Parks, Market St., Lancaster, S. C., says: "I ached all over and when I sat down, I got so stiff across my back I could harly stoop and it was hard for me to do my housework. I finally got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me lasting relief from the backache and fixed my kidneys in good shape." I Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?
