South Ras The Advantage.

While the southern farmer. il.
complaining of the high price Of
food products, the. western farmef
is protesting against the advanced
price of cotton goods. So there j.:
goes. Human nature is the same tn
world over. As long as the othel
fellow has to pay the high price W
do not mind it, but when our tarn
comes then a protest is raised.
3 Hundreds of western stockraisers
have pledged themselves to with
hold their hogs and cattle from the
market in order to keep the price
of meat up. In doing this they are
following the example of the south
ern farmers, who endeavor to cur
tail cotton receipts in order to hole
up the price,
However, in the battle against
high prices that is now being waged
to the hilt the southern people have
the advantage, in that they can
if they will-produce their food
products at home, while the North,
West and all nations of the earth
must purchase their cotton good
from them.

Red Hill Mourns the Death of
Clarence Stone. Increase in

One of the sadest scenes ever
witnessed in the community was
the funeral of Clarence Stone on
last Sunday afternoon. Clarence
was one of tie most handsome
young men Of our community and
up until a few weeks or days ago
little would we have thought that
today his body would be in the
grave and his soul with Him who
gave it. But that dreadful disease
diabetes had seized his body to
which even tho. young Qacking a
few weeks of being twenty-one)
strong and active it was forced to
yield, and body and soul were sep
Grated. During yhis short illness
many friends and!relatives watched,
and waited anxiously. The popu-
.larity, of this young man and his
family was shown by the unusually
large crowd present at the church
to pay their last respects. Being a
member of the local w. O. w.
camp, the. hall was heavily draped
with black and the p%allbearers were
selected from among the youngest
Woodmen. The funeral sermon
WIS preached by his pastor, Rev.
Littleiohn, from the text No man
is sure of life" His remarks were
very appropriate and among other
things he mentioned his private
talks with Clarence before and since
his baptism, less than two years
ago. The services were conducted
at the grave with the beautiful
Woodmen ceremony. He leaves
behind devoted and heart stricken
parents, sisters and brothers to
whom our hearts go out In SYM

ssWorse Than Divorce"

The i~nfelicities in the Tillman
family in South Carolina are, to say
the least, not edifying. Senator
Tillman's reported exclamation,
Thank God there is no divorce in
South Carolina will not strike
most people as amending matters at
all. A law which may deprive a
good mother of the care of her
children is even more obnoxious to
the modern sense of humanity and
the proprieties than the absence of
a divorce law.-Charlotte Observer.

A God.send to Edgefieid.

The comlngcof Mrs. Adeline c.
IGehre-, visiting and meeting with
the people Of almost every section
of the county, has indeed been a
God-send to Edgefeld. Almost
from the day she began in the low
err portion of the county, nearly 5
month ago, we have been hearing
very favorable reports from her
work, some of the most compliment
tary expressions coming from per-
sons who heretofore have not been
in sympathy with the worker in
which she is Engaged. Not until
she reached our town did we
have an opportunity of hearing this
~consecrated Christian woman who
has given twenty years of her life
to the cause of temperance and
eradication of social evils Her lee
ture in the Baptist church Monday
night was a gem, and the. only re-
greet in connection with the occa-
sion is that the entire citizenship of
the community was not present. Mrs.
Zehner speaks with remarkable
fuency, reasons logically, and is
withal the most effective temper
ance worker who has ever visited
Edgefeld. May other portions of
the state he as greatly blessed
through her efforts as Edgebeld has
been!
