The boll weevil last year infested nearly 30 per cent. of the cotton aore. age of the United It was found in 100 per cent. of the cotton in Louisiana, in 30 per cent of the |ootton in Texas, 30 per cent. in Ar- kansas, 25 per cent. in Mississippi and 35 per cent in Oklahoma. The progress of the insect pest to thé east will be more rapid than to the north, because of olimatic condi- tions; but the experience thus far acquired seems to indicate, accord ing to the Agricultural Department, that the weevil will eventually over. come any climatic barriers, The Only exception 00 this is in the high open plains of Northern Texas.

Mr. Lunsford bas several bun- dred acres on west end of mountain fenced in, and recently lost s large number of sheep from his flock, at Avibuting his trouble to dogs. One day, receiving informatibn that a fox race had led to his pasture and that a number of the pack were inside the inclosure, Mr. Lunsford took his gun and fired on the first dog hemes in the enclosure, The shot felled the animal, but it did not die, un- known to Mr. Lunsford, who went on hunting for more dogs. Later he learned the dog was not dead, went pack and finished it with another load. Mr. Lunsford’s negligence in failing to ascertain the effect of the first shot cost him the suit. The astute owner of the dog, Jo. Bob Jones, brought his action on the ground of cruelty to animals, and won. In Charlotte the other day there was a dog killing case in which the following facts were developed: A dog went into a man’s yard and bit h‘s child. Later she same dog paid another visit to the same place and the father of the child killed is: He was haled before a ‘squire, found ilty and taxed with the costs, ase was appealed to the recorder’s court and the recorder sustained, the decision of the ‘squire.

If the oath is taken be- fore the clerk of the Superior Court is it valid? The Landmark is seekin these points. (cisinrneninatsieticemsaisnias It’s easy to get an erfoneous im Pression.

Threatened with what they be- lieved to be an effort to “draw the teeth” of One of the most important of the ‘new rules, Democrats and’ insurgents joined in the defeat cf the Speaker. By a vote of 145 to 126 the combined forces rallied to the support of Representative Fitz gerald (Demerat), of New York and sastained him jin his appeal from the Speaker's rulings. The fight developed as the result of the sétond attempt to use the hew.rule which gives the House the power to discharge a committee frorg further consideration of a bill thaw has been referred to it. The in Surgents and the Democrats believed that this rule was iron-clad; that a8 soon as the consideration of bills by-uvanimous consent had been con- cluded, on every first and third Monday of the month, the Housa was hound by the new rule to take up the mtions to discharge com« mittees from the custodies of speci fied bills.

How To Stop: practic ties ; Stubborn Cough We don’t mean just stop the irri- tation in -your throat—but cure the underlying cause, Cough syrups cannot dothis. It takes a constitutional . tonic body builder to do the work properly— and curé you to stay cuted.

It cured my cold and cough and E gained in health and strength. I consider Vinol the most wonderful tonic and invigorator I ever saw.” If we cannot Stop that cough with VINOL—our deli¢ious cod liver and iron tonic—which is made without oil—we will - not charge you-a cent for the medicine you buy, This seems like 4 pretty fair Proposition and ought to be ac- cepted.

The sensible way to improve roads is to. make the improvement permanent and this can only be dove by macadam work. Of course it is impossible to macadamize every, road in the county but it is possi- ble to macadamize the main roads The roeds on which the travel is light can be kept in very good con- dition Avithout macadam, but round ing up and “ditching and packing every day in the year will not pre- vent the much-traveled roads be- coming muddy in rainy weather. What we started out to gay on this point, however, is that we re- gret that Mr. Clodfelter takes 0 marrow a view as to say that the macadam work being done is for the sole benefit of Statesville and Statesville township. To macad amize one of the main thoroughfare in Shiloh township would not be for the benefit of Shiloh township alone, bat for the benefit of every indi vidual .who traveled that, road There would be many people in Shi loh who would never travel the road because it would not be their ‘road to market or to church; but others from other townships and Ic- ealities would travel it, therefore the absurdity of saying the road was for the benefit” of Shiloh alone, There are many people living _ in Statesville township who have _no ‘macadam foad to town-—there are emergency men regularly employed, Further on the point . of the timc- checking idea, it would be wise to provide that the amount of tine each judge renders to the State Auditor, and the reasons for the loss of time, be published. Thia would. expose the time-beating judges and the people could get rid of them. | That was a fine bunch-of commu- nications abgut road work, dogs etc., in the last issue of The Land-}. mark,~&nd there are more today. | Keep ’em coming, and keep talking.)

We can” understand the feek ing of those who will realize that it will be years before their town- ship is penetrated by macadam, and the natural feeling is that they are not getting a square deal. But can the method be improved under the present system? If not let’s not ‘abolish macadam work entirely’ be- wause we can’t all get roads in a few mouths or a few years. That's a backward step.
