R Many hearts are sad over tho
death Of Carter Riser, of Whitmire,
Newberry county, who went to the
land Of eternal sunshine October 10.
Mr.. Riser was an invalid for thu. :.
teen years, but was perfect ray of
sunshine, and If faith and works
bring stars to crowns, his will be
filled.
He lay on his bed and with his
left hand wrote a letter which went
all over the world cheering up the
broken hearts. Mr.. Gonzales seve-
raj years ago wrote an editorial in
the Sunday State on his work, telling
how happy he was. He was a great
reader and kept up with the move
ments OF the day, and with his pen
98ried to bring many measures to
'ybass. When the State leader of the
' Sunshine society heard Of his death
she said, as Gen. Lee said at the
death of Jackson, Il have lost my
right arm" Mr.. Riser was our
right arm for he kept tho stamp
box filled, and to him many other
things are credited on the big ledger,
and his last work was filling a page
in the big autograph album of the
Blind Baby Home in New York. He
gave much time to the collection Of
funds for the State leaders, type
writer, and she hopes when her An
gers fall from the keys and the last
copy is sent in the Great Editor will
write across the copy accepted" and
she Will meet her Sunshiners in a
land where all is sunshine.

What do you do with your maga-
zines?
We trust the teachers will soon
get up the money for the teachers
library. Other counties are work
ing. Miss Cromer wrote she was
working hard, and If you have kept
up with her in her tomato club work
You know she will never fail.
Teachers, see that your pupils own
a Bible. Read Senator Beveridge's
book, ''The Bible AS Good Reading" :"
and he will prove to you that there
was not a lazy woman in the Bible
characters. They we're women who
did something. What are you doing?
Have you done anything to make the
world better?
Have you read in McClure's Maga-
zine Of June, 1909, "The Conserva-
tion of the Defective Child? Dr.
Hines is working on this plan for
our schools, and as the noted Doctor
lives in Seneca, we should help him
Save the eyes OF our children Teach
The coming generation to be strong,
not nervous rs this one.
Our boys have corn clubs. Let our
sAgirls have "Recipe Clubs" and make
scrap books, so they can go to them
and learn how to cook the boys corn
