Komma, Ill. In the spring Of 1880
they moved to Mitchell, S. D. where
they have since lived. OF this union
seven children were born: Emma j.,
Jennie A., Frank A, George W.,
Lawrence H., Lillian A., and Emil A.
this last named son having passed
away at the age of eleven years.
While living Mrs. Carlson was for
many years an active member of the
Swedish Lutheran church. In this
activity her friends and neighbors
learned to know the soul of the wo-
man. AS a leader of the Ladies Aid
she was always ready to inspire and
to help. Her devotion to her God.
and His Kingdom on earth was as
beautiful as it was earnest and faith
full. Always loving the good and
working for the true, her passing will
leave a great gap in the ranks of the
faithful in her church home.
H=
But to know Mrs. Carlson best
was to know Ter in the home. Here
she was an zeal wife and mother.
For her husband and children she
gladly gave unselish devotion. Pa
tient. gentle and loving she watched
and guarded her children from baby
800 a. ,oorhood ond ~ womNnh0od
with that earnest faith and .solicitude
that characterizes the beauty and the
wonder of womanhood. The husband
and these children are today in great
grief,-a grief softened only by the
memory of a mothers life so nobly
spent, a life that challenges them to
follow and to emulate.
Mrs. Carlson died Jan. IL aged
50 years and "a days. At the home
short funeral services were held at
ten o'clock, Jan. Is, conducted by
the Rev. A. Sundberg of Mancelon-,
Mich. The music was furnished by
Mrs. Jessie Rowley, Miss Goldberg
and j. M. Erion, who rendered
Rock of Ages'' and Nearer My God
to Thee."A great many friends gath
cred at the home bringing their
gift of flowers as a last token Of their
deep respect and love. Beautiful in
deed were these floral tributes;
some being sent from a distance too
great to make possible the presence Of
the senders, but not a distance too
great for love and sorrow of which
these flowers we're a token, to COM
pass.
Further funeral services were held
at the Swedish Lutheran church at
q o'clock p. M. where an impressive
sermon was preached from the text
found In Ezekiel 25:16 and Psalms
1856. After these services the body
was laid to its rest in the c~hurchyard
cemetery, the pallbearers being: s..
p. Carlson, August Carlson, B. P.
Jones, F. G. Hoffman and A. Olson.
Besides her many friends, neigh
bors, husband and children Mrs. Carl
son leaves two brothers and three
sisters to mour her loss: Mrs. A.
Olson, Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs. G. w.
Johnson, st. Paul, Mimi, and Frank
A. Johnson of Chicago, Ill.

Better be an ..old Maid"

A Judge in Peoria, Illinois, has
decided that a man is justified in
beating his wife if she refuses to get
his breakfast by four o'clock in the
morning. That judge must have
got his idea from Russia where it is
r~ighteously believed that a man
must occasionally beat his wife to
convince her of his love. Still it is
to be hoped for the sake of humani-
ty and domestic peace and love that
the Peorian Judge stands alone in
his decision. The prospects of a
four o'clock breakfast and an occa-
sional thrashing by way of diver
sion would not lie very alluring to
young women contemplating matri-
mony.-Orangeburg Times and

Mr.. Dozier Lynch Won Silver

In a contest between Wake Forest
and Davidson colleges held at
Greensboro Monday, MIR. Dozier A.
Lynch, the representative of David
son, won the honor for his college,
being awarded the silver trophy. The
question for debate was, Resolved,
That the Legislative Initiative and
Referendum should be introduced
in our State Governments" a prob
lem. that has puzzled the ablest
statesmen of the country for a
generation, and, according to the
Charlotte Observer, the manner in
which the debaters presented their
able argument was a credit to Them"
The Observer also had the following
to say of E~dgetield's eloquent young
son:
SIN closing the debate, Mr.. D. A.
Lynch made a strong argument
against direct legislation, he con-
tending principally that such a sys-
tenn as proposed by the affirmative
would weaken the character of leg
islative bodies; be the means of pro-
posing and enforcing class interests
and that even giving them this, the
people did not have the wisdom nor
the inclination to vote on the meas
ures which would be proposed. After
diving fully into the reasons upon
which he based indictments, the
speaker declared that history itself
condemns direct legislation"
The news Of Mr.. Lynch's victory
caused much genuine rejoicing
among his friends at home. He has
made a record at Davidson OF
which Edgefeld is justly very
proud. The Advertiser begs to offer
sincere congratulations.

Would Tighten Fertilizer Burden

Would Tighten Fertilizer Burden.
At a recent convention of the Far
mers' Union of Georgia, a resolution
was adopted urging farmers to use 600
pounds of commercial fertilizers on ev-
cry acre planted, which means, if the
terms of the resolution are complied
with, that Georgia farmers will spend
from Sc to SO per acre on their crop for
fertilizers. Can the average farmer
who plants twenty acres, with landin
its present state of cultivation, afford
to pay from s12O to $3.50 for a fertili-
ger which only feeds the growing crop,
adding practically no thing to the fer
tility of the soil? We do not think so.
How much more profitable it would be
to increase the number of live stock on
the farm and thereby increase the
quantity of barnyard manure, supple
menting it with commercialfertilizers
But this can not be done until a greater
quantity of foodstuffs are grown upon
the farm. The Advertiser has been
agitating Investigation and larger corn
production to the end that stock raising
can be engaged in throughout the coun-
ty upon a larger scale. Stock raising
will never be profitable in South Carroll
na,i if the stock have to be fed on western
grown feed.

.curtailine Production"

Let the growers Of cotton take heed,
lest they be caught by low priced cot
ton next fall. 9 Already mills over the
country are planning to curtail produc-
ton, which means that much of the
raw cotton now in sight will not be
manufacturedin into cloth, leaving alarge
surplus when the new crop is market
ed. Two of the mills in the Horse
Greek valley have announced that their
running time will be reduced about
sone-third in order to control produc-
ton. Farmers can yetsave themselves
by also "curtailing production" While
the mills are endeayoring to control the
