Fitz Hugh McMaHter.

For nearly eight years the business affairs
OF The Evening Post have been under the di.
recllon OF Mr.. Fitz Hugh McMaster, who
closes bis service with the paper this AFTER
noon and on Monday becomes circulating
manager OF The Columb bia State.
1t is not light parting that separates the
man and bis work. Peculiarly successful
and gratifying TO himself, the record OF Mr
McMaster's service with The Evening Post
is a vital story to the paper. The Evening
Posts survival OF early trials, development
under first encouragement and final and
hrm establish men are TO An eminent degree
attributable to him. II must be hard for
him to leave; II IL distressing TO The Evening
Post 10 have him 60.
To US the only consolation In parting Is
the privilege It gives US OF recording an ap-
probation Of the man, which we might not
have been permitted by the proprieties
while he was part OF ourselves. Yet With
the opportunity comes realization OF our
inadequacy 10 1t. We can only say that hc
will Always be remembered by The Evening
Post rs a faithful steward and successful
manager and beloved by his associates as a
true man and loyal friend. An energetic and
righteous citizen, his departure will make a
gap In this com munity, where he has made q
home and a name.
Good wishes and earnest prayers for his
success and happiness will follow him from
Charleston and he will always find hearts
and homes open to him here. And as The
Evening Post goes on In It's course OF useful
ness and reaches 10 higher successes in the
future 1t will ever he miudiul of the splendid
services ich were rendered It. by FiiZ Hugh
McMaster, to whom we now say farewell and
God-speed.-Chareston Post.

resist windstorms. To do this get
piece of 2x3 scantling about IL feet
long. Put two iogs about 81 to 4 feet
long on one end. Rest the other end
on the ground. Three feet from the
upper end bore an inch and a quarter
auger hole. Make pin four feet long
to 20 through this. Set your horse
where you wish the shock, put in the
pin and place the corn in the four an
giles. Get on the horse and have 8
plow line with ring tied to one end
and throw this around the corn and
put the rope through the ring and
draw tight. Then with piece Of
twine tie the corn firmly. Get down,
pull out your pin, yoke your horse BY
the upper end and 60 to the next place
you wish shock.
We have written often all of these
directions, but we have many thous-

the old ones did not catch on last year.
So we write them again.

into fine hay. Some Of the more ex-
pensive machines will shell the corn
and sack it.
WORK FOR YOUR OWN INTEREST.
Do not let your old habits or your
prejudices or your laziness prevent
you from saving your corn stal ks.
You would not think of throwing
your cotton seed away. Your corn
stalks are worth much more than
your cotton seed.
Save them, shred them, feed them to
your cattle, sell the cattle and make
money all round. When it takes all
or your cotton to pay your debts your
corn stalks will give you money to buy
the comforts of life.

Onward and Upward.

We live but one life, we pass but
once through this world. We should
live so that every step shall be step
onward and upward. We should
strive to be victorious over every evil
influence. We should seek to gather
good and enrichment of character from
every experience. making our progress
ever from more to more. Wherever
we go we should try to leave bless
ing, something which will sweeteD an
other life or start new song or an i'm
pulse of cheer or helpfulness in anoth-
er heart. Then our very memory when
we are gone will be an abiding bless
ing in the world.

To work fearlessly, to follow earnest
ly after truth, to rest with childlike
confidence in Gods guidance, to leave
ones lot willingly and heartily to him
this is my sermon to myself. If we
could live more in sight of heaven, we
should care less for the turmoil of
earth
The serene beauty of holy life is
the most powerful influence in the
world next to the might of God.

The Right Time for Pruning.

The largest branch starts from bud,
which slight movement of the fin
gers would have broken off. By going
over young trees and rubbing off buds
that appear when branches are not
needed, there will be very little prun-
ing to be done when the trees come
into bearing.

Grit and Brains,
