Death of Little Rosa Anna Martin.

Oakway, Nov. 30.-Special: Little
Rosa, the youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Davis Martin, died on the
23d instant. Little Rosa was visit
ing her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Welch, of Mountain Rest, at
the time Of her death. She had bold
hives and was sick only about "a
hours. All was done that love and
medical aid could do, but of no avail,
as 1t seemed that God had called her
to that home above. Now there is
one more tie that draws them nearer
that home where all tears are
wiped away and sad partings come
no more. They may say with full as
surance In their hearts, the Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away:
blessed be the name of the Lord.
Little Rosa's stay with us was
short, she being only years, 5
months and IS days old. She was
bright and happy child. With her
smiles and winsome ways she won
the love of all who knew her. She
had two brothers and one sister who
have gone before, and leaves her
father, mother, three brothers and
two sisters, and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn her death. But
may they not mourn as those who
have no hope. May they always re-
member that Jesus said, Suffer lit
tie children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such Is the
kingdom OF heaven"
Little Rosa was laid to rest i'm the
BAPTIST cemetery on November 25th,
the funeral services being conducted
by Rev. j. F. Mason. L.. C.

of the Association of Agricultural
Colleges and Experiment Stations.
which was held In Washington on
November 18, 10 and go. The as
ISOLATION Is divided into two sec
ttons--one composed of the agricul-
tural college presidents and the sec
ond of the station directors, repre-
senting these Institutions from all
parts of the United States and Cam
ada. At this meeting DR.. Nell repre-
sented Clemson College In the for
mer, and Prof. Harper in the second
section, while Hon. NJ. l.. Donald
son and Hon. Coke n, Mann, Of the
board of trustees, were also present.
DR.. Nell read paper on "Adminis-
tratiye Methods In Agricultural Col
leges. The paper treated of the
rights and privileges of the board of
trustees, of the president and of the
faculty; the whole crystalized on the
points that the board should govern
the college by determination of its
general policy and with this as an
outline, that the president, assisted
by the faculty, should administer its
affairs, covering as they should all
matters pertaining to the whole COL
lege life and surroundings This
paper was discussed by DR.. Stone, of
Purdue University, Indiana; DR..
Buckham, of the University of Ver-
mont; Dr.. Storm, of the Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College OF Iowa,
and others. They were so much
pleased with 1t that the section or
dered 1t printed. Many colleges have
had trouble with their administra-
tions, and it was felt by the parties
who discussed the paper that the
thoughts presented had been focused
on the right points.
Appreciation of the paper was del
'cately shown by electing DR.. Nell
president Of the college section for
the succeeding year, distinction of
which Clemson College and the State
may we'll be proud.

sossE HEARTS MADE GLAD.
Mrs. Mcdonald and Daughter Re-
membered on Thanksgiving.

Tokeena, Nov. 30.-Special: The
hearts of Mrs. F. Mcdonald and
daughter were made glad on Thanks
giving day. when w. P. Mason drove
to their home, near the High Bridge,
with several Sunbeam members,
They carried with them box con-
tanning so pounds of first grade -four,
sugar, coffee, rice, tobacco. lard, salt,
tatoes, apples and 26 yeards OF cloth;
also seventy cents in cash.
Soon after the arrival of the chill
dren, Mr.. Mason made short talk.
The children then sang Just little
Sunshine" Then Mr.. Mason offered
prayer in bshalf of those to whom
and by whom the gift was being
made. Miss Roxie Whitfield gave a
beautiful recitation. Afterwards the
supplies were handed over to Mrs.
Mcdonald by TIME King. Mrs. Nc
Donald appreciated their kindness
very much.
She said she was glad some one
remembered her on such an occa-
sion, and she was thankful that God
had permitted her to live to see ano-
ther Thanksgiving day. Mrs. Nc
Donald and her afflicted daughter,
Sallie, live together and all alone
most of the time. They once lived in
this community, having moved to
their preScnt nome about three years
ago. During that time Mrs. Nc
Donald lost her husband, Matthew
Mcdonald.
After the offering had been re-
ceiyed those present enjoyed short
social conversation. The children
again sang some songs, which were
We then bade Mrs. Mcdonald and her
daughter goodbye, each one express
inb himself as having enjoyed the
occasion.
The Sunbeam Band of Cross Roads
consists Of 2S members for the pres
ent year. They, with Mrs. r. p.
Singleton as president, have been do
ing some good work. A committee,
consisting of six girls, Roxie Whit
field, Lessie Richardson, Ella King,
Lila, Gertrude and Eunice Simmons,
was selected Sunday, November 10,
to raise all they could for Mrs. Nc
Donald. They worked very hard to
raise the neat little sum of about
seven dollars inside of two weeks.
They seemed to enjoy working for
such cause. When the little folks
approached the older ones, and told
them their mission they readily re-
sponded. We think Mrs. Singleton
should have the cooperation of the
community in training the young
minds and hearts of the children
Just a little help from every parent
would make the work of the presi-
dent so much easier. Why not each
one do his part in such q grand and
noble work? If each one could have
seen how much the gifts were appre-
ciated, especially by the afflicted girl,
surely they would be only too glad to
assist In any work which would pro-
duce such an effect.
We, in behalf Of the president and
members, tender our thanks to those
who contributed and to the mer-
chants, ]. ]. Cromer and ]. A. Gala
nam, of this place, for their kind
ness. Remember, inasmuch as We
have done 1t unto one Of the least of
these my brethren. ye have done it
unto me.-Matthew 25:40.

DIvERsnFrCAT1oN OF CROPS.
Mr., Harris Gives Remedy for Nine-
Cent Cotton. So. 4

How Is the farmer to be able to
price his cotton and get the price he
puts on his staple which represents
his labor? There are three things
essential. First, organize yourselves;
second, cooperate together; third,
diversity your crops SO as. to make
home self-supporting. Raise corn,
bacon, wheat, oats, horses, mules and
nure to enrich your land, and quit
buying so much commercial fertilizer
in order to stay out of debt. The
above system will free the farmers
Of the bondage they are now in, for
the cotton that has been sold up to
the present time has been sold at or
about the cost of production. The
spectators and the manufacturers
are saying to you that you are maxi,
ing too much cotton. Now, lets take
them at their work and reduce the
cotton crop next year to twenty-five
million acres and plant the other
eight million acres in food supply
crops. This would make about nine
million three hundred thousand
bales, and the farmer would get as
much money for the nine million
three hundred thousand bales as we
will get for twelve million five hun
dred thousand bale crop. Just re-
member, farmers, when you make
more or a product tnan you can con-
troll some one else will take it at your
expense and manage 1T for you for
their own interest. Now, every one
knows that cotton is not on parity
in price with anything else. A suit
Of cotton clothes that you could buy
three years ago for $40 now costs
you SIS. Cotton should have sold
the whole season for IL cents per
pound from the time the first bale
was ginned. Now who is to blame
for it selling from s " to 8 cents?
Nobody except the producer himself,
and do not put the blame on any one
else, for the farmers have forced 1t
on the market faster than the specu-
lators wanted it. Never will the far.
mers be able to get their prices until
they make home self-supporting and
market the cotton crop as the world
needs 1t. 1t takes twelve months to
make cotton crop and we must take
twelve months to market 1t at
profit to the grower. Brother far
mer, it is in our hands to remedy
this evil If 1t Is ever remedied, and
the sooner we realize it the sooner
1t will be done. Remember three
things to be done: First, organize;
second, cooperate, and third, diver
sify crops. Remember, this is day
Of organization, and all professional
and business men are organized. The
farmer is also beginning to realize
that he Is forced to do likewise for
his protection. l will give below the
following statistical report, taken
from the census report Of 1900,
showing the number of bushels of
corn, wheat and oats per capita to
feed each person, horse, mule and
hog in the cotton belt States. I ask
you for close study of this report
and you will readily see why cotton
is selling at Sh to cents. l want
to urge every one who has not sold
his cotton to hold on to it until the
price goes up. You may rest assured
that the farmers over the cotton belt
are going to diversity crops next
year, and this will mean reduction of
cotton acreage.
