TRIBUTE OF

At the regular meeting Of the Pioneer Steam
Fire Engine Company OF Axmen, held on Wed
nesday evening, the LIST instant, the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
In the bright and joyous spring time, when ma.
ture assumes her loyellest v~estures, and the
breath Of morning perfumes the scenes OF
pleasure and Of gladness, while We are
preparing for the annual gala festivities OF the
nremen with emotions responsive to the genial
time, we are stricken and appalled, by the melan.
choly event which 30 recently has brought m.
felgned sorrow to every member OF this corps.
For, without any anectation Of mourning, we
gather to pay q last tribute Of esteem 10 Edwin
d. Enston, an honored ex.president OF this body.
Many OF "a have been associated with him, when
IS our acting head, full OF energy and Kindness,
he labored with whole soul for the best interests
OF his command, dlfuslng 8 measure OF his own
enthusiasm on all around; aud there Is no one OF
us who does not know and appreciate his many
sterling qualities, who does not understand his
devotion, while q brennan, to the duties OF his
trust, and to the welfare OF this company In par.
tIcular, and no one who can fall to experience the
painful scene OF such q separation from one re.
Gently 80 closely allied to the AFFAIRS and the anec.
lions which unlteu s.
We propose to attempt no sketch OF the life or
character OF him whom we lament. Social, gene
rous and free, he was largely known In this COM
munity. His numerous friends know and appre-
cIste the traits which made him 80 near and dear
to them; and all who knew him can testify to
the esteem which his manly yet gentle spirit
achieved.
But we do desire, while those nearer still pluck
the opening roses to lay them softly upon the
newly made grave, to place upon record this
memorial Of tender respect to the memory OF our
departed friend; and this we do with the full as
surance that his love and his labor, while this
company was bis care, lIk9 his " familiar
presence, will remain embaimed with the endur'
ing recollections OF his associates. Therefore, be
1t, unanimously,
RESOLVED, That In the death OF Edwin D. Ensten
this cump my mourns the loss OF one VINO. loen-
tiled with It's interest for many years, and during
an important and eventful period In lib history,
contributed largely to It's Wellarei merluDg py
his exemplary devotion to duty the es.eem,
and by the benevolence OF his nature conclla
ting, both as q member and an ofncer, tue favor
ann affection OF hIs companions.
RESOLVED, That q page OF the minute'book be
Iuscrt ed TO his memory; that the usual badge
Of mourning be worn, and that We express 10 his
family our sympathy with them and our sense OF
our mutual an ctlon.
RESOLVED, that this preamble and resolutions
be pub lshed in the morning papers OF The city.

TIE WEATHER and THE CROPS.

Gree lille.
The Enterprise says: 1--WE have had very
good working and growing weather during
the past week; some of the early mornings
have been cool, but none to do harm. The
hot sun has rendered the ground somewhat
dry, and a slight shower would be of benefit,
and as yesterday was cloudy, it Is probable
we may get II soon. The farmers are work
Ing vigorously, and, in consequence, the
streets and stores of the city are very quiet"
Oconee.
The walhalla Courier says: THE planting
season for q long time had the appearance OF
a very late one. For several years winter has
been dallying with spring, and from the middle
of February to May we enjoyed varying spells
of winter and spring. This year winter claim
ed all of its own aud more, 80 that until the
middle of April her Icy hold was maintained,
when she freely gave place to spring. In coa-
sequence vegetation Is now little behind past
years, while 1t ls vigorous and unimpalred BY
the chilling lrosts of past years. Crops are
nearly as far advanced as heretofore, and will,
perhaps, more than recover any backset from
late planting by the influence of uniform grow
Ing weather. The light frosts of last week did
sS injury, aud everything looks as promising
as during any season heretofore. Fruit is
abundant

AN APPALLING SMELL.-At Bermondsey Eng
land, the Messrs. Salmon pursued the manu-
facture of artificial manure out OF 'sputrid fish,
the blood and refuse. of slaughter-houses, pigs
hair, decayed animal matter and garbage ofall
kinds" Being indicted for this heaven-smel-
ling offence, the Messrs Salmon urged; In e1-
tenuation, that their manufacture did not and
could not produce eny unpleasant odor. Un-
fortunately for their case, the court ordered a
view, or rather, we should say, a smell Of the
premises by the jury, and the whole twelve
came back from this visit, rampant to render
q verdict of ''guilIy." The Lord Chief Justice,
who appears to have Joined In the visit of the
Jury, declared that the smell actually took
his breath away, and characterized 1t as ''atro.

THE SRORD OF SOBIESKL.
From the Sumter News

Mr.. Elisha Carson, of our town, has in his
possession the Identical sword, used by Thad-
deus Sobieski. at the great battle of Warsaw.
1t was brought to this country by Count So
bleskI, In thu yeari8lS, and sold with his other
effects, In Charleston. where he died in 1922.
Mr.. Carson was In those days a citizen of
Charleston, and a near neighbor and Intimate
informed him OF the history of his uucle's
sword. When 1t was offered for sale, Mr. Car
son, who alone knew It's esthetical value, bid 1t
off for eighteen dollars. Colonel Keith, who
knew that 1t was a Polish weapon, rum 1t up to
that figure. 1t Is a quaint looking old weapon,
tor which the Britieh Museum would probably
be willing to pay a round price.
