the 801 l Weevil problem will be presented, in
cluding the varieties of cotton for boll weevil
conditions and resistance to disease.
Experts will tell about experiments con
ducted on Sea Island as well as short staple

fail to attend this meeting.
The speakers will inculde E. Lee Worsham,
State Entomologist. A. C. Lewis, assistant state
entomologist, Ira W. Williams, expert in cotton
breeding, and others familiar with boll weevil
ronditions.
DO NOT STRADDLE
We never did like to see a man str&ddle,
and we do not believe that such a man can
have the right kind of respect for himself.
When he gets alone we should imagine that he
feels ashamed of himself for not coming out
like a real man and showing his colors. If a
fellow is for a thing, and he has. the manhood to
declare himself we have respect for his manhood
even though we may not agree with his. But
the fellow who dodges issues and becores the
very kind that the crowd he is with is, and the
very thing itself when he is with a dicerent
crowd—well we prefer r.ot saying in this calm
moment the kind of opinion we have for such
a fellow.
Be yourself and be somebody even if that
somebody differs from all the rest of men, is far
better’than being nobody or just anybody. An
honest man is the noblest work of creation and a
straddler can not possibly be an honest man.
He is not true to himself, which is a great crime,
and not being true to himself he can not be
true to others. —Exchange.
