somnambulism.

Blond persons are more apt to be
sornambulists than dark folk, and In
cold climates there is more somnam-
bulism than in warm ones. In certain
Greenland villages the hut doors are
locked from without by Waterman in
order that those within may not come
forth In their sleep and maybe freeze
To death.

From address of Archbishop Ire

Association.)
If i were to choose where, outside
the class room for the general well
fare of humanity, l should have de-
yotion to truth prevail, / should
name the newspaper. The news
paper is to-day pre-eminently the
mentor of the people. 1t is read by
all; it is believed by nearly all. Its
influence is paramount; its response
bility is tremendous. Its province is
to narrate facts-to give the truth,
nothing but the truth, all truth; to
allow both parties to controversy to
be heard; never to palliate or dis
tort; never to omit when that which
omitted may be relevancy in the
formation of public opinion; never to
publish the doubtful as certain, the
mere gossip as well ascertained news;
never, above all else, to put before
readers error and falsehOod. Jour
nalism that is honest and honorable
is one of the nations most precious
inheritances; that which places no.
toriety and pelf above truth and vir-
tue, and adopts as its tactics the
stunning sensation rather than the
calm statement of facts, is one of the
nations direst calamities. Numer-
Gus in America is the journalism
which is honest and honorable;
here and there is found that which
worships above all else notoriety and
pelf. There is here duty of con-
science and of patriotism for Amerl.

Obituary.

On the evening of July the 18th
"death lifted the veil that hides u
brighter sphere and closed the eyes
of Mrs. G. T. Reayes upon the
scenes of this world and her spirit
went to the One who gave it. How
much We miss her and yet We sorrow
not as those who have no nope. SO
Young to die and yet so many of
life's cares and troubles escaped.
What comfort it is to know that
God never deals with life unjustly.
We do not understand why God has
broken this happy family circle and
left the husband end little Helen so
lonely and the infant without a
mothers care, but sometime we'll
understand. The body was taken
back to her old home in Halifax
County, Va, for interment. The fu-
neral services were conducted by her
former paster, Rev. J. H. Bass. She
leaves mother, father and several
brothers and sisters. Human SYM
pathy is weak but it is all We have to
offer the grief stricken ones so We
commend them to Jesus who is able
to comfort in the time of trials and
"whose mercy endurcth forever.
Not now, but in the coming years,
1t may be- in the better land,
i, Wen read the meaning of our tears,
And there sometime, We'll under
stand"

There is a movement OF foot to
have the Coast Line build a tobacco
depot. The present accommoda-
tions are inadequate. More regular
freight passes through this station
than any other between Florence
and Charleston. The general depot
is crowded at at all times. The COW
cred platform can do no mole than
accommodate the truck in the spring
and tn" cotton in the fall and winter.
1t is absolutely necessary to have Ii
place for tobacco, and the Railroad
company should not hesitate in this
matter nor pat it off. Experienced
tobacco men estimate that the COM
pany will receive in freights on the
weed this season about $15,000.00.
Surely the company will cheerfully
expend few hundred dollars to ac-
commodate this business.
Tobacco continues to pour in.
The quantity sold is surprising and
the prices astonishing. 1t is getting
to be not unusual to see twenty five
to thirty five thousand pounds on
one floor any good day. One buyer
sent off in one shipment last Tues
day of forty three hogsheads. This
means about fifty thousand pounds.
The highest price yet reached was on
Friday when a pile put on the floor
by Mr.. A. D. Gaskins went off at SO
cents pound. Others have realized
40 to 65 cents. One man brought
in a load for which he said he
wanted $40. He put it under the
Star hammer and cot $1O4.S0. The
weed is coming not only from this
community but from Florence, Clar-
endon, Sumter and other counties.
The great Pudding Swamp section is
contributing nightly. 1T is nothing
unusual to see heavily loaded wagons
from way over Pee Dee River and
from the Elm and Sardis neighbor-
hoods.

live and interesting speeches. A
new Richmond in the field appeared
in the candidacy of ". L. Bass,

give synopsis of the speeches, but
will endeavor to DO so at future
