Farmers Operations Retarded by Ram
Death of a Veteran.

Farmers are industriously prepar-
ing for another crop, bat they have
been seriously retarded in their work
by the continued rains. Indications
are that an unusually large quantity
of fertilizers will be used this season.
From the present outlook there
will be large acreage of tobacco
planted this year; Oh every side may
be seen the white canvas stretched
covering the young plants. On the
route 'twixt Scranton and Johnson
vile there are about AZ tobacco barns,
old and new, and about Is more in
the course of construction, making
sixty all told along the Nail route.
Answers the Last Roll Call.
Another veteran has gone to his
reward in the death of Mr. Leonard
Dosier Baxley, which sad event took
place on Friday, February n, 1908.
Mr. Baxley was 73 years old in JAN
uary. At the outbreak OF the war
he entered the Confederate army
along with one brother and two
half.brothers. His brother died in
Richmond, Va, from wound
received in service, and one of his
half-brothers also died from the
effect of wound inflicted in battle.
The other balf--brother survived
wound and went to Georgia after the
war, where he was employed in Rock
dale Paper Mills, Conway. Ca, until
his death some years ago.
Mr. L D Ba1ley was sick for some
months and suffered . great deal, but
he bore his affliction with the forti'
tude characteristic of y true soldier
and when the final summons came
he met the last. enemy, death, with
calm and unfaltering courage.
He leaves an aged and stricken
wife and six children, four sons ant
two daughters, to mourn the loss Of
devoted husband and father.
The remains were laid to rest OF
Saturday, February 2S, at 8 O'Clock

In Memoriam.

Another veteran, Capt Cicero
Whitfield, has crossed over to the
other side and Joined the great army
of heroes, who have passed over the
river. Capt Whitfield was the soul
of truth and honor; true friend, q
brave soldier and an educated and
high-toned gentleman, worthy Of all
trust. Modest and retiring in dispo-
sition, few know of his many good
qualities and great worth, except his
most intimate friends.
Farewell, dear friend; it will not
be long before we will all be gathered
together "beyond the sunsets radiant
glow, where there is u better world,
we know"

THURSDAY. MARCH u. 1908.


The Kinystree oil mill has passed
the "tslked Of" period Of uncer-
tainty and may be now regarded as
IN assured fact. 1t the meeting of
Stockholders last Saturday COM
mittee was appointed to take steps
looking to the erection of the
plant as early as practicable.
Already enough money has been
pledged to put in larger plant than
.wss originally contemplated, and BY
going out of the county enough capl'
,ital Is available to construct q
mill Of forty tons capacity.
But it is ( not the desire of
the promoters to seek out
side ,scapital. They wish to make
this ! .home enterprise" and would
prefer to place every dollar Of the
stock in Williamsburg county.
When the stock begins to pay hand
come dividends, as there is every
rsason to believe it Mill, every dollar
Of profit should remain at home, and
to this end everybody who has money
to spare, be it much or little, is in
vited to get in on the ground floor.
When the Bank of Kingstree was
organized the same spirit was mani
BY the the founders, but the people
lacked faith to take stock at the
start. Now that the stock COM
mands q premium of twenty-five per
cent every share of it could be dis
'psed of right here in Kingstree, if it
could be bought; but those who own
the stock are as reluctant to part
with it as the outsiders are eager to
secure it
II will be noted that the same
men that have made the bank such
splendid success are behind the
oil mill. This fact augurs we'll for
its success and unless we are badly
mistaken it will prove safe and
profitable investment. Our people
cannot afford to let pass this op-
portun,ty of advancing their own
interests and at the same time plac-
ing. themselves on record as sup
porting an enterprise that will con-
ducs to the material advancement of
the whole county.

JOHN ALIENS ONE lie.
The Man From Mississippi Relates

Ibid you know [ never told but
one lie in my life," said John Allen,
in talking to a crowd of reporters.
"That cured me. 1t was back in
1862, a day or two after the second
battle of Manassas. / was a small,
bare-foOted soldier boy, about 10
years old, marching with Lees army
toward Maryland. My feet became
so sore from marching over the
rocks that / had to fall out of line

commissary stores on which L could
draw. The country had been so often
raided by both armies that it was
difficult to get anything to eat. |

should starve, when ! suddenly spied
a house away from the road which
seemed to have been missed by the
soldiers. The family was just sitting
down to a good dinner, and at my
special request they invited me in.
Il do not remember to have ever
enjoyed a dinner so much, and not
knowing when / would get anything
more, / tried myself and ate very
big dinner, in fact, / took on about

Ladies', can you tell me where a
poor soldier boy who has not had a
mouthful to eat for three days can

starving?'

REDUCED TO THE RANK.

Georgia is famous for the size and
sweetness of its own watermelonS
and the number of It's "colonels."
The latter are as thick as fieas in
country school house, and are as
omnipresent as they are multitude
nous. In Georgia man who falls to
become colonel is regarded as an
object of plty-as mere wreck on
the sea of life. 1t is a fact that SO
scarce are men in that state who do
not have the title prefixed to their
names that when stranger hears a
man addressed as plain Mr.. Brown
or Mr.. Smith, he Immediately falls
on that persons neck and weeps for
joy.
Robert G. Mitchell has dealt the
.scolonels'' a hard blow between
wind and water. Recently when
the superior court was in session in
Lownde county the sheriff cried out
the name of lawyer who was
wanted in the court room, and pre-
fixed colonel to the name at each
of the three calls. When the sheriff
returned to the court room he was
ordered to present himself before the
| JUDICIAL Utdk, WdCI0 iIc Was iuIOl III
ed by the Judge that IN future while
serving the court he must forego the
| pleasure of prefxing the title OF
| 'seoloneln to the names of lawyers
| The Judge also took occasion to an
nounce that he had reduced all the
colonies to the rank where they be-
| long.

follow the noble example set by
Judge Mitchell there would be 8

CRITZ WILL BE GOVERNOR.

The election of Judge F. A. Critz
as governor will mean the Missis-
sippi will not take any backward
step, but that our commonwealth
will redouble her present progressive
space. He will make the state
business governor in whom the peo-
pie will have abiding confidence, and
under such an administration Mis-
sissippi will forge to the front along
Industrial lines and soon take her
own proper place in the column of
manufacturing states. The people
Will not be deceived by the injection
into the canvass of vague and an
certain ideas of any particular can
didate, will be governed solely by
what they believe to be the best in
terests of the entire people of the
state. In this no one will question
the right Of the people. At this
time it is evident that the suffragans
of this grand old state are awake to
that duty, and that in the discharge
of that duty they are rapidly turning
to Judge CritZ as their leader. From
every part of the state comes the
good news of his rapidly increasing
popularity with the masses, which is
safe omen of his certain victory.
Few men have ever entered the
political arena in Mississippi who
have grown so rapidly in popular
favor as has Judge Critz during the
past two months. The reaction has
set in at full tide, and no sophistry
nor fanatical prejudice can stem It's
ebbing. 1t is now an open political
sea and Judge Critz is upon the
bridge of the flagship of the people,
riding the waves of popular favor to
victory. eridlan Press.
