In>the passing Of Mother Brink
man to her well earned rest we are
strongly reminded Of the above text.
So long part Of this community, she
and her husband may. we'll be said to
have nodded into the city their sterl.
ing traits Of honesty and love to their
fellow citizens. Her bright smile and
sunny nature lightened the cafes of
many a young mother and her. wise
council cheered the heart Of many a
Respondent vile who had made her
b me in this new country far from
friends. Her charity was boundless
ana Of the quiet kind which scorned
display. Burdened with the cares Of
Ia large household. she wrought. dill
gently; but not only for their material
but also for their moral welfare and
yet al. all times she found time for
the dpbu1ding Of this city and its in
ploVemeRt' along the highest and best
lines. She has left ito her children
and grandchildren andoto the people
amongst! whom she dwelt so1qpg, the
nobIest Of all legacies, the record of
noble and unselfsh life.-A tribute
from a friend q mapy years.

Addressed by Mr.. James Henry
&c, Jr.i

very profitable meeting of the
Slgefeld Agricultural club was
.shsld on Saturday last, the presi-
st snt, Mr.. ] R Cantelou, presiding.
M James Henry Rice, Jr., sec
rotary of the State Audubon So
ciety, was present by invitation
and addressed the meeting. The
purpose for which the society was
ssorganized is the enforcement of
the laws for the protection of
game and fish. Mr.. Rice is en-
ployed to go >up and down the
state prosecuting the violators of
the law and to create public SEN
timent for the better enforcement
of game laws.
Mr.. Rice being thoroughly con-
versant with every phase of the
subject gave his hearers many
facts that were indeed revelations
to them. The speaker showed
clearly the need for better pro-
lection Of birds that destroy ln-
sects. ..t.s an example, he related
the experience of the farmers
around Blackville, S. G. Last
year it was reported to him that
the hay crop in that vicinity was
almost totally destroyed by the
army worm. He looked into the
conditions aud found that some
months previous to that time
$500 robins bad been slaughtered
10 and near Blackville, and each
robin will devour 200 army
worms in day. Thus we see
what q valuable bird the robin
is as an insect destroyer.
Mr.. Rice cited a case in the
eastern part of the state where
considerable corn was damaged
: by the bill bug, and an inyestiga-
tion revealed the fact that the
!, partrldges, which feed largely
upon these bugs, had been almost
exterminated in that section.
Wherever partridges are slaugh-
tered in great numbers cut worms
and bill bugs attack corn. Mr..
Rice stated that Marlboro county.
the largest corn growing county
in the state, can not raise corr
after the lapse of ten years unless
the killing of partridges is stop
ped within the borders of the
county.
Mr.. Rice was particularly severe
upon the hunter who slaughters
birds for market, stating that lot
one should go UNPUBLISHED. N
Aiken last year he fouad 10000
Sypartridges in cold storage. He stat
ed that when game is cold pre-
MUM is put upon its extermilla-
tion.
Mr.. Rice also referred to the
wanton destruction of fieh by
poisoning the water of creeks and
Iivers with I've and green walnut
Juice, saw dust and dynamite
being also used to kill fish. He
appealed to his hearers to organ
ize and by concert of action pun
{ aish such fragrant violators of the
game and fish lave. =
This splendid address made .
profound impression upon all who
were present, and our people have
become interested and aroused az
never before. Their eyes have
been opened to the necessity Of
protecting game and fish.
Upon the conclusion of Mr..
Rice's address Gsn. M c Butler
read q carefully prepared and
very valuable paper upon thu sul-
siect Of good roads. We hoped to

Enters Upon Sixth Year.

EuSSFS OpOu SlAtA Col.
Before announcing his text or
Sunday morning, DR.. c. E. Burts
stated that be lad just entered
upon his sixth. year as pastor Of
the Edge6eld Baptist church, and
that some remarks upon how the
members of a congregation OF
church can aid the pastor would
not be inappropriate. DR.. Burts'
suggestions and gentle r-mou-
strauces, all uttered in the most
beautiful spirit, were indeed time
ly and will lead to more 10y
support and service from the laity
of the church. During the past
FIVE years DR.. G.. E. Burts has
labored fearlessly, faithfully, con-
sclentious.y, in Edgefield, and
God has richly rewarded his
labore. His field of service has
not been confined to our town.
The county, even to the remotest
corner, has felt and has been
benefited by<,the quickening, up
lifting power of hie in fluence and
personality. May he be spared to
labor among us many, very many,
years to come.

In his valuable. paper on "Good
Roads," read before the Edgeheld
Agricultural club, Gen. Butler
struck the key note when he ad-
vocated the appropriation of
funds from the national treasury
for the Improvement of the public
highways throughout the country.
The government makes the rivers
navigable andt..irrigates the arid
plains Of the west, then why in
the name of justice ahould not
the public highways throughout
the country &c sImproysupy, funds
frn.the national treasury. AS a
rule, where road Improvement is
most needed the resources of the
people are, Limited, making it
necessary, if the highways are
ever to be scientifically construct
ed, that outside aid be obtained.
