We recommend that the platform

What An Old Farmer Says.

This is the advice IF au old man
who titled the soil for forty years:
| am an old man upwards Of three
score years, duliug two scores Of
which l have been tiller of the soil.
| cannot say that l am now, but I
have been rich and have all that I
need. do not owe Il dollar, have given
my children a good education, and
when | am called away will leave
enough 10 keep the wolf from the
door. My experience taught ne
that.
One acre Of land well prepared al d
well cultivated produces more than
two which receive only the same
amount used on one.
One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog
well fed is more profitable than two
kept on the same amount necessary
to keep one well.
One acre Of clover or grass is
worth two cf cotton where 10 clover
or grass is raised.
No farmer who buys oats, corn or
wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule, for
ten years. can keep the sheriff away
from his door in the end.
The farmer who never reads the
papers. snecrs at book farming and
improvements, always has leaky
roof, poor stock, broken down fences
and complains OF bad seasons.
The former who is ABOVE his busi-
ness aud cntrusts it to another to
manage. soon has no business to
attend to.

OBITUARY.

V61I y ANY.
Mrs. Sarah B. Hammer nee Gable
died suddenly on the morning of
November II, 1897, aged - years
5 months and / days. This dear
mother in Isreal leaves to mourn their
irreparaLle loss five sors and one
daughter, an aged sister, twenty
five grand children and four great
grand children, also q large circle of
relatives and friends.
In early life she became widow
with six small children-one an in
FAINT. Her labors and struggles for
them, her earnest efforts to bring
them up to be God-fearing, honor
men, her strict integrity and ability
in the management of her affairs won
the admiration of all who knew her.
With the bravery of a Spartan
mother, she sent her first born, q
boy of sixteen, to battle for Our
Lost Cause, and through all those
trying years she did not lose heart,
but fought her fight and gained her
queenly victory.
Her sons today are useful and hon
ored men, her daughter worthy Of
such mother. Not only to her own
loved ones was she kind and affcc.
tionate, but her large heart went out
in loving and tangible sympathy to
all who were needy or sorrowful, and
her gentle, social nature made friends
for her wherever she was known.
Her faith WAS unfaltering, her na-
turc remarkably gentle and forgiv-
ing. When asked by loving grand
children why she did not resent i'll
Justice OF unkindncss, her invariablc
reply was, "God will make that
tight"
For eighteen years she knew that
death might come at any time, but
her implicit faith in Gods promises,
robbed it of it's terrors. Her fune-
raj services took place at St. Peters.
Lexington county, $. c., and were con-
Quoted by Revs J. A. Cromer and J. G.
Graichen. The former, her beloved
pastor, preached touching and most
comforting sermon. Her body was
tenderly laid to rest under the shad
ows of the church she loved so well,
and the large congregation gathered
TO pay their last tribute of love and
respect, together with the many
lovely flowers, lovingly laid upon her
grave, showed how much she was
respected and rcyered where she was
known.
Give of the fluit of her hands,
and let her own works praise her in
the gates.

Views on Liquor Iss-FaVors the

tion-Tired of Being Criticised.
G. lnmbia State.
Governor Ellerbe has declared his
candidacy for reelection as governor
of the State and in advance OF his
annual message to the general assem-
bly he has seen fit to present his
views in regard to the liquor ques
ton. He has also strongly expressed
himself in regard to certain criticisms
that have been made of his official
acts.
Wednesday night the governor
gave to the press the following inter
view. He said: II see in The News
and Courier of Tuesday an editorial
commenting on the report from Its
Chester correspondent, which, While
not directly doing so, may by lns'n'
uation lead people to believe that the
governor advised Newbold not to
surrender. The language used by
the Chester correspondent is: "He
was instructed by the State author
tiles not to surrender until today or
until the court of general sessions of
Spartanburg county had adjourned.
II wish to denounce the statement
as absolutely and uuquali6edly false.
I sent Mr.. Newbold no message, gave
no advice and made no terms with
apy one for his surrender. am
getting heartily sick aud tired OF
such dirty flngs and insinuations.
1t seems that gentleman has no
protection, hut has to submit to such
salpderous insinuations.
II have also been barshly criticized
for pardoning May and Buice for
killing Sims. Sims was a desperate
moonshiner who was openly violating
the laws of the State and when May
and Buice attempted to seize the
LIQUOR Sims started to fire on the
officers, and had they not killed him,
men in the discharge of their duty
would have been killed. Moreover,
Mr. Crawford, who was present, testl-
fled that the killing was in self
defense. This is entirely aside from
the petitions and The endorsement OF
seven of the jurors. There were IN
addition to other petitions one signed
by many of the very best of Spartan
burg's citizens.
