Death Of Congressman Meyer.
Frcfa the New Orleans Picayehe.l


News of the death of Hon.
Adolph Meyer. Representative in
the Congress of the United States
for the first District of Louisiana,
has been flashed over the wires
to every part Of. this vast Repub-
lie, IN which General Meyer was
o national character.
His death took place in the
early hours of Sunday morning,
March s, at the house of o near
relative i'm this city.
General Meyer was d native of
Natchez, Miss, born Oct. 10,
1912, aud when the Civil War
broke out was a student at the
University of Virginia. With
some other students he enlisted
lin the Confederate service aid
became an officer OH the staff of
Brigadier General John 8. Will
liaufs, with the rank of Captain.
At the close Of the war he re-
TURNED to Louisiana, and in time,
in Connection with his twin broth
ef Victor, became largely engaged
in the cotton business in tits city.
Continuing to maintainSa decided
Interest in military affairs, he be-
came COLONEL of the First Regi-
ment of the Louisiana State Ma
tional Guard, and subsequently
was appointed BrigGdler General
of the State troops whose eff
ficisncy he did much to promote.
General Meyer was elected in
1891 to the Fifty-serond Con-
gress, aud has since then been
reelected and served continuous
ly through eight terms, having
bssn REELECTED To the Sixtieth,
which met Dec. 2; 1907, but OH
account of ill-health he was un-
able to take his seat. General
Meyers greatest service in Con-
lgfess was In securing for this city
u great national naval station, a
work to which he almost gave his
life, and Iii which his exertions
were largely crowned with sue
cess.
During the control by the Dem
ocrats of the House of Represent
atites Speaker Crisp assigned Gen.
efal Meyer to the Committee on
Naval Affairs, and he has held
fdhl important place there ever
finc6, serving hinder two distin.

Crosses of Honor.

The Drayton Rutherford Chapter,
152, U. D.. c., Newberry, S. c., this,
2oth day of February, 1908, begins
the three months advertising requir-
cd to precedc the bestowal Of eros
scs upon the defendants of veterans.
Rule /. Sec. g. The oldest living
llnGal defendant Of veterans who have
not received q cross may secure it,
provided that notices for three con-
secWtive months be published in the
city and county newspapers calling
upon veterans to send in certificates
for crosses. IF, at the expiration of
three months no veterans have ap-
piled, the bestowal of crosses upon
defendants and widows may begin.
The chapter urges the veterans to
be prompt in sending in their certi-
icatcs for two reasons. First Of all,
because it is the III pose Of The
chapter to honor every veteran with
a cross and. second. to give to such
defendants as described in the rule
above, the opportunity to secure their
crosses.

APPEAL TO
Prest. E. D. Smith Urges Production
of More Hog and Hominy
This Year.

President z. ID. Smith of the South
Carolina Cotton association has issu-
ed an address to the pc ,ple of the
State. urging the farmers to provide
for am abundant grain and forage crop
and fms secure further independence
in the cotton world. Mr.. Smith be-
lieves the high prices of cotton for
two years have enabled the farmers
to be in position to provide these
supplies and thus be practically in
dependent of the lien. The state
ment is as follows:
"After careful Investigation as to
conditions in this State, I deem it TO
he my duty TO ask every farmer in
the State. now that the tine has
come H. prepare for another crop, to
take no chances but to lay his plans
so as to provide for ,am abundant grain
and forage rrop. BY abundance I
mean not MY enough to ".H2t The
necessary "emirtmcpts # his labor
ers and family, but a surplus Of il
sufficient to provide fer The eonver-
sion of a part Of it into pork and beef
and for the purpose Of using this live
stock rs a means of permanently im-
proving the plantation, reducing the
Fertilizer bill and tho supply bill. The
three last years Of continued high
price cotton has put us into a posi-
ton where VIC can make the expert
ment Of an abundance Of food and
supply crops. I am particularly anx-
ious for the State to try one time The
experiment. of producing q surplus
of these food supply crops.
