In the meantime, the Farmers' Un ion will raise money for the work this year by private subscription.

The sheriff's bonds are being exam ined and if found correct will be approved as of the 5th inst., the date of this meeting. A committee from the county Farmers'- Union petitioned the board to appropriate $600 to pay the salary ot a man for farm demonstration work, under the plan by which the government appropriates the same amount appropriated by a county for this work. The commissioners ex pressed themselves as heartily in favor of the work but decided that they have no authority to make such an appropriation. They agreed, however, to assist in raising the amount by private subscription and an effort will be made to have a law passed at the next session of the Legislature giving the commissioners power to make this appropriation. It is practically certain that $600 will be raised for this work at once by private subscription, in order that work may begin at once.

Part of the stalk was withered and on this part of the stalk there was only this one boll. From the descriptions given in news papers within the past few days. these worms are the same kind that have been found in cotton bolis in Anson county recently. The question of absorbing inter est is whether these worms are boll weevils. It is devoutly to be hoped that they are not.
