) 1910. JAS. G. COYUN, ruV.Uher. Printed twice a work, and entered at jivr, 3d class m at Ur, December 6, 1jJ, at the post on'.'Vt at WaJsboro, N. 0., under ti c Act of Mtreli 3, 1678..- T22 EQLLATEEVIL COillHG. Another Warning to r" The Cotton Boll-weevi.' ia still making steady progresathrougb the co'.ton-growlo area, Xnd it gives ev ery indication thai it will eventually be. present in every section where cotton ia grown. The Boll-weevil baa not "disap peared" in Texas or any other ec tiaa where once established. ' It ia ivt 'becoming harmless." It i3 trus thnt many localities which once aban-' d'.'-jed cotton on accoant of weevil have again begun to grow it, and in eoiae sectioci they grow nearly as much as they ever didW nether this la because the weevil Is less destruct ive than formerly, or whether it ia because the growers learn how best to escape its ravages, it is hard to say; but perhaps both these things are true. . " But wherever the weevil comes, in every State yet invaded, it has re sulted in almost complete demoral ization of cotton-growing for from tbrf.2 to five years; and then when the community does settle baek to cotton again, it is with more intens ive methods on a smaller acreage, more reliance on other crops and live stock, aud not such a complete dependence on cotton alone. It takes from three to five years to bring about this change, and in going through such a change the farmers must make considerable sacrifice. The weevil fairly knocks the props frnn under the credit system, at least tor a. few years. The tenants and borrowing farmers who are Dev er ready to face the new conditions are not able to meet their obligations in the fall, and the merchants fail or refuse to advance on cotton nezl year. It is not our ol ject here to discuss the appearance, habits and injuries of the Boll-weevil, nor to discuss the weys in which it is combatted. These things have been placed before thepublic repeatedly, and any cotton farmer in North Carolina can get literature on the subject by writing ... to this office. But we do want our farmers to be looking ahead and planning the course they are to pur eue when the weevil gets here Q. ahead with cotton if you wish, but all the time keep asking yourself. l-dnl do this when the weevilcomes" If so, how? and if not, what can I Of course, we all hope that thr weevil may not reach us. We hop, that if it does reach us it will not b: as destructive as In the other sections: but we warn you that we have t. hiLBia for huliovinc thof 07a mill I-.,: I lavored in this way. So the ODli viac course is vj l'b biuaying inf methods of meeting the probleu. wben it comes. Louisiana" some In Mississippi ar farmers have don this nicely. Beginning years in ad vance, they gradually tamed tbei attention to other crops or to hogs o. ca ttle, but kept on raising cotton vr, ' n the very year when the weevil wi vn them, and then they were pr 5 red to drop the cotton altogether i ,Jd make a i other things. When ihe communit; sctiies down to cotton again thu farmers can return to cotton or not, a they wish. , , The Boll-weevil now occupies all Texas " except the western pcrtior neighboring parts of Oklahoma ao , Vrkansas, all ol Louisiana, about twr; '-hird j of Mississippi, and the soatl- estern corner of Alabama. Allow ;ng fur normal ircreaae in the rate o" tead for the future, it stems r9?.3o ibis to believe it wili reach NorfA Jarolina in from 6 to 10 years-thj- r "j. from 1916 to 1920. A few year igo we all thought that it would com r nore quickly, but while it ia comht. Readily it has spread only graduallv without any big jumps; so it seeitK Jt-we will haveeeverai years yt -j which to prepare for it. remember, I do not say that yoU st "quit cotton." I do not s' t the weevil will of a certain us at all. But I do aay that a all probability reach us, at Us our business to be study hi :. thods by which we can b;p wfaen it does come. Me?r eep on growing cotton if thsv ar preference, but keep pos i hs progress of the weevil, and . Mt you are not caught unpt; - when the time comes.

Lee, vice pwsiient and chief engineer of the Southern Power Company," has . returned fiom New York, where- he- has Deen spending teveral days on business. Mr Lee states that his company did not make i bid on the development of the Rockingham Power Company at Blewett Falls, which was sold last 'Vednesday. The property was se ; ured by the Colonial Securities Com ; K.ny, which holds a large proportion ..t the bonds issued by the promoters. ' he Blewett Fall3 development wa3 e outcome of a triangular effort on e part of financial interests operat- i i . e u rv.i:i ' icurities Company, the General Eleclric Company and Hugh Mcltae .i Co. of Wiimmgton. . - The plant was on the market for tnira time last weanesaay at ine Price ot 1750,000 which hardly presents even barely the amount b at has been expended on the de velopment. Mr. Lee did not give a eason why his company did not en irthe field for the plant, .it being ommonly reported that the South n Power Company was anxious to ,c.ke over the plant and join it with ihe numerous other developments on ,Jj8 Broad and Catawba to the end -hat a sufficient amount of electricity tight be placed on the market to arry out all the monumental plans v-rhich the Southern Power Company has in mind for this section." MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD. It is hardly believed that the trans- Vr of the property at Blewett Falls o the Colonial Securities Company constituted a sale and that it will Ugain be offered upon the market.
