IN MEMORY
On or about May Ist, Uncle Jim
Cooper was called to meet his God
face lo face and live with him
throughout eternity and well pre
pared lie was for lie was 72 years
of age and from boyhood on through
life lie lived a model life. His broth
ers may have erred in many ways
but he hewed to the line. If his par
ents wanted to know just exactly
how things were they went to Uncle >
Jim lor information.
He was a man that loved God, a
man that, loved and read his Bible,
lie was glad when the time came to
go to tho house of the Lord and he
always had a testimony; he lived to
please God and serve his fellowmen.
It can well be said of him as it was
of a certain Bible character, "He
hath done what he could". He went
about doing goixt. It wasn't the big
things as the world counts in public
life that made him gr eat but it was
the little things that counted so
much in his life.
He went to the groves for secret
prayer. Mark the perfect man and
behold the upright for the end of
that man Is peace. He was at peace
with God and lus fellowmen. Follow
peace with alt men and holiness
without which no man shall see the
Lord.
Pears f leave with you.
My Peace I give unto you.
He knew what that meant to a
believer.
And now in conclusion let us
in lmmlile submission to the will of
God and sing Holy! Holy, Lord God
Ahnightyl Sinners, friends please
surrender and go with us.

TO AILING WOMEN
A LITTLE SOUND ADVICE WILL
HELP MANY A SUFFEHEH IN
LAFAYETTE
No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass oil in the
secretions when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. If the kid
neys and bladder become inflamed
and swollen worsp troubles may
quickly follow. This is often the
cause of hearing down pains, lame
ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning
is also frequent cause of headaches,
dizzy spells, languor, nervousness
and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney pills, a remedy that has
proven effective in thousands of
such eases. Let a I.aFayete woman
tell of her experienc.
Mrs. J. P. Phipps, Oak St., LaFay
tte, says: "I have used Doan’s Kid
ney Pills at different times for many
years and have always had wonder
ful relief when my buck has been
weak. It is a pleasure to say that
Doan's Kidney Pills have never fail
ed to help me.”

NOTICE TO FARMERS
As a result of our efforts to se
cure orders for a car load of syrup
pails and fruit cans for the farm
ers of the county we have only re
ceived orders for one-third of a car,
consequently I am not in a position
to contract with the shippers at this
time as I had planned. I am writing
the shippers today asking that they
give us one or two more weeks to
work in securing this car load order.
If you want to buy buckets at a
33 1-3% saving and are interested
your neighbors buying them at
the same price do not hesitate in the
placing of your orders at once.
I want the farmers to understand
that I am not insisting that you
make a special effort to raise money
for the purchasing of syrup pails
or any other material, because it
•vill be of material benefit to me. As
your Connty Agricultural Agent, I
am doing all within my power to as
sist you in saving money by means
•if cooperative buying and selling.
The success of this cooperative
marketing depends upon the coop
eration of the farmers. United we
Stand and divided we fall. Which is
cur motto?
Farmers in all sections of the
county are finding boll weevils on
the young cotton plants, and a large
number of these farmers are begin
ning a systematic plan of destroy
ing the weevils and punctured
squares by hand picking.
Just at this season the winter boll
weevils are laying eggs in the cot
ton squares. Very soon after these
squares are punctured and the eggs
layed they die and fall to the ground
Your time will be well spent now by
employing every farm hand in the
work of picking these, adults wee
vils and the fallen squares and
burning them. If these eggs are al
lowed to hatch out, the young wee
mis begin puncturing squares very
'soon which makes the tight against
‘the weevil much harder than if the
light, had been against winter wee
j vil and the squares they puncture.
If the regular farm laborers can be
used in this work without a great
deal of expense it will pay to con-
I Mie the picking of weevils and
1 squares for one month. By doing
this you can retard the develop
ment of the weevil 20 to 25 days
which gives the cotton sufficient
time to put on enough fruit to make
a good crop. If the winter weevils
‘are allowed to start early in the_
held without any hinderance they
will puncture all squares as fast as
they appear making it almost im
\ possible to make any cotton at all.

WEEVIL KILLING FORMULA
MAKES THE PEST A JOKE
Dublin, Ua., June 27.—A formula
for poison that will kill the boll wee
vil and keep a Held clear of the i
pest until August, when the migra-!
lory weevils are in action, is being
used this year by Dr. W. B. Taylor,
of Dexter, Laurens county, who has.
been growing cotton in Laurenrs
for the last three years in spite of
the boll weevil. Last year he made
139 bales on 150 acres, in spite of the
weevil, wet weather and other hin
drances.
Dr. Taylor lives about 14 miles
from Dublin and has become the.
recognized boll weevil expert of the
county. Saturday a friend in Dublin,
asked him about the weevils on his
farm.
“Why the boll weevil is a joke,,
with me," he replied. “I laugh every!
time I think about him. 1 can rid any
Held of boll weevils for 25 cents per
acre, given just two successive days
*)f sunshine."
He was asked for an explanation,
and when he replied that he had
worked out a formula for poisoning
the weevil and was using it, was
asked for that formula.
Here it is just as he gave it, and
it has the endorsement of the county
demonstration agent of Laurens
•ounty. J. B. Tyre who was present:
Take molasses, 2 gallons: saccha
rine, t ounce; ice cream powder, 2
packages: calcium arsenate, 10 lbs.:
vater, R gallons. Mix the ice cream
powder and the saccharine both in a
little water before adding to the oth
er ingredients. When you have i'e
all mixed together well, be sure il

not settle to the bottom.

stick and tying a roll of cheese

inches wide. Get an old tin can.

stirred and walk down the row
and put a few drops of the solu

while putting it on. Only a small
amount is required for each plant
and with this amount of the mix

’ Ed. Messenger:—
I' I see in last week’s Messenger
that Roy Adams had roasting ears
last Thursday, he claims to be first.
I beat that. I have had them ever
since the 12th of the month, out of
my own garden also tomatoes on the
same day out of my garden and
have been puting them on the mar
ket for about 10 days. We found our
| lirst cotton bloom today, the 27, on
' my farm. Now who can beat that?
No news, all the talk is of the elec

bonds of course, as good roads are
