ELMWOOD.

Editor ADVERTISER: The wealth.
er for the past few days has been
cool and windy, and very unfavor-
able to plant growth. The greater
portion of the area set apart for
cotton has been planted.
The grain crop is not looking
well. Unfavorable weather, chinch
bugs aud other insects are causing
it to look pale, reddish and un-
healthy.
No coru has as yet been planted.
The destructive chinch bugs have
played havoc with wheat and corn
here for the last few years. Not
more than one farmer in dozen
has been able to produce sufficient
COIN for home consumption on &C
count of them.
The health of this community
is comparatively good.
Labor is very scarce and unre-
liable.
County people cannot under
stand why the laws of the towns
are SO lax as 10 permit 80 many
able-bodied negroes to loaf and loi-
ter on their streets-a menace to
the towns and detriment to the
country. Most of the towns are
dependent upon the farms for their
existence, and the time has now ar
rived when they must lend a help
ing hand in the manner above
mentioned, or sustain a serious
loss. y.

Vale, Brother Carson

Mr.. Ira C. Carson, the gifted and
popular editor of the Johnston
News, has lain down his pen for
other and more profitable pursuits.
1t required but a short time for
him to learn that the life of a coun-
try editor, like that Of Mr.. Man
tilini, is one "demd horrid grind,
for which he receives but little
compensation and less apprecia-
ton. The newspaper fraternity
was loath to give up this brother,
but believing that in our ranks he
would not have grown in this
worlds goods nor in the next
worlds grace We bid him God speed
in his new field. Having said
adieu to Mr.. Carson we welcome
his worthy successor, Mr.. William
Toney, into the craft and trust that
his pillow will not be 80 hard as
those Of many "pencil pushers."

Death of a Johnston Citizen

Again death has claimed another
memb of the greatly honored and
once very large Bland family.
Mr.. Stanford Bland, the last vic
tim of the Great Destroyer, passed
away at the home of bis sister at
Vidalia, Ca, on Friday last. He
had been in failing health for Sc
veral years and the end was not a
surprise to his loved ones. This
good citizen, kind neighbor and
affectionate father will be seen on
earth no more. His gentle wife
preceded him by several years.
The deceased is survived by two
sisters, one brother and three bright
little children. The remains were
intersed in the cemetery at Johns

Our town was saddened by the
death of Mrs. Mary E. Middleton,
who has made her home for the
past eight years with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. D. A. J. Bell. Mrs. Mid
d,ston was paralyzed fifteen years
ago by fall and had been almost
continually confined to her bed ever
since. She was patient sufferer
never complained, and was al
ways cheerful. She :had learned
the lessons of self-control, and set
an example of amiability, self
control and patience which is wor-
\thy of emulation. Rev. ]. T. Mil
Ter prayed at her funeral that the
mantle of her beautiful Christian
character might fall upon her chill
dren and grand children. She
leaves four children, viz: Mrs. Mat
tie Rich, Mr.. P. C. Middleton, Mrs.
L, G.. Bell and Mrs. D. A. J. Bell.
She was buried blythe side of her
husband at the residence of Mrs. r.
H. Middleton, at Clark's Hill, Rev.
J. T. Litilejohn conducting the fu-
neral services.
The Methodists have been car
rying Oh a meeting now for about
ten days, and although no one has
as vet united with the church, still
great intarest is being taken. Rev.
W. P. Marlborough. the travelling
evangelist and etreet preacher, is
doing the preaching. He is
certainly very earnest, conse-
Grated man and we feel already
that his coming has done a great
deal of good. He is accompanied
BY his wife who aids by playing
the organ and singing.
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn has been

to state, better now.
DR.. J. A. Dobey has been off on
a visit to Aiken and other places,
but he has returned home now for
a short while. We hear that he is
soon to leave us and make EDGE

Mrs. w. J. Talbert is sick, but
we hope she will soon be better.

with the exception OF Mr.. Fitch, do not
promise much. William Gillette and
