Death of Mrs. Caroline Cohia-A Clarendon
LADY,

Mrs. Caroline H. y. Cobia, of Lake
City. Fla, died last Saturday at l2:3O p.
m. The funeral services conducted by
Dr.. W. Fl. Tribble, president OF Cou n
bia college, were held in the Baptist
church on Sunday at p. M, being de-
laved a hall an hour by a heavy rain
storm. But in spite OF the rain, good
plumber of friends were present at the
funeral. The burial was in the Lake
City cemetery.
Mrs. Cobla had passed, by three
months. her three score years and ten,
but old age had not been burdensome to
her, neither had it caused her TO lose
sympathy with young people or her
keen interest in the general affairs OF
life. She grew old gracefully, and was
sweet and cheerful up the last. Though
very quiet and retiring character, she
was strong in her faith. and ever dill
gent in doing the things that make for
the peace aud prosperity Of those she
loved. Her life was that of a sincere,
constant and devoted Christian woman.
She did two Of the best things that any
one can do in this world: she made
Christian home. 1t was one that the
members of the household loved, and
she made it sweet and attractive for her
children. No one can do a greater thing
for this world than to make truly
Christian home. She also sent out from
that home honorable. honest and indus-
trious men and women. 10 build char
ecter is far better than to build for
tune: TO train noble men and noble NO
men. is greater than building monu-
ments ia marble and bronze. This good
woman has written her name in lmmor-
tai characters When her Youngest child
was just little baby. her husband died,
thus leaving her widow with eight
children. She was permitted to live and
give TO all OF these her Christian inHu-
ence and example till they were grown.
One OF the daughters preceded her 10
the Gloryland. Four sons and three
daughters survive her. They are as fol-
lows: j. NJ. IL and F. n. Cobia, Of
Lake City. and J. w. Cobia. of Ehren
Fla: Mrs. L. Z. Edwards, of Darlington,
S. c.: Mrs. w. B. Markham, of Lake
| land. Fla, and Miss Lille Cobia, of
Lake City.
Praises be to the name Of the woman
who bore and trained these men and
women. And it is truly an honor to them
as we'll as blessed influence to have had
such Il Christian woman for their
mother-The Citizen-Reporter, Lake

ter below in reply to our suggestion that
the Aldermans make known their busi-
ness themselves instead OF subjecting
US TO the questioning OF an inquiring
world whose fortunes would neither be
enhanced nor snrunken whether the
Aldermans sold their railroad to the
Seaboard, the Coast Line or any other
corporation. But it was nice in them
however to give the public their denial
OF the rumor, as this, together with the
extreme hot weather no doubt has caus-
ed a good many to loose sleep over what
they feared would be a change Of owner
ship The following is what Mr.. D. w.
Alderman says with reference to the
matter.
.Alcolu, S. c., June Both, 1911.
Mr.. Louis Applet, Manning, S. c.
Dear Sir:-Referring to requestin the
last issue of The Manning Times, that
"the A!dermans tell the public whether
the .Alcolu Railroad has been sold to
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Com
paoy" | cannot understand how such
a report would obtain circulation. Com
plying with your request will say that
the .Alcolu Railroad has not been scld
and such an occurrence is not likely to
take place any time soon.
Yours truly,
D. W. ALDERMAN.

London Built on Sponses.

One could surely find no worse
ground to build upon than bed Of
sponges such as we use for the bath.
And vet London has for its subsoil
only sponges, although we call them
fints. Once they grew as sponges do
now in salt water shadows, and they
are found in layers petrided among
the chalk Of southern England. The
Thames valley chalk has been melted
like 80 much sugar and carried away
with the running waters, but the
f1ints have been left behind, and on
these the whole city Of London has
found its excellent foundations.-Lon-

DESTROYING WEEVH IN COTTON
SEED.
{By W. D. Hunter.)

Fol- several ears the boil weevil has
caused a loss Of about 10000 bales Of
cotton annually. Although farmers in
some regions, in many cases, are in
creasing their production, there is a
loss IN newly infested regions which
almost, 1t not quite, offsets that gain.
A conservative estimate shows that
eince h Weevil has invaded this
country It has caused a loss of 1885,
600 bales OF cotton at s. value Of
about 125,0O0,0 600.
It has been abundantIy shown that
cotton seed is Of Importance as a me-
dunn through which the weevil may
be carried. Many individuals that
happen to be carried to the gin on the
cotton pass uninjured through the gins
to the seed houses. Consequently
every seed house connected with a
gin in the infested territory harbors
more or less weevils, depending upon
the amount Of cleaning the staple is
given. OF course such seed is exceed
ingly dangerous when taken into unin-
tested regions. Undoubtedly the pres

should be provided having sides 4 feet
high, open on top, and Of other di-
mansions to accommodate u or more
~1G0-pound sacks Of cotton seed placed
upright upon the bottom. Another
tier Of sacks could be added if desired.
Into each one Of these sacks about 1
ounce Of carbon bisulphid should be
forced by an apparatus for violating
the liquid and mixing the vapor with
air.
This should consist of three essen
tia parts as shown in the Illustration.
A is an air pump having sufficient ca
pacity to enable it to maintain a
steady discharge Of air for several
minutes without continuous pumping.
The stopcock at al regulates or pre-
vents the escape Of air, as may be
desired. B is an ordinary 2-quart bot
tie fitted at b1 with a tight stopper Of
good length. having two openings,
through which the inlet and outlet
pipes pass. These pipes may be Of
glass or metal and should be as large
as can be used. The inlet pipe, BIZ,
reaches nearly to the bottom of the
bottle and is provided at the lower
n with a perforated metal cap as
large as will pass through the neck Of
the bottle. This allows the escape Of
the air in small bubbles and insures
rapid evaporation. The outlet pipe,
bt, reaches only through the stopper.

Cutting Off Large Branches.

In the removal of large braiches
from old or bearing trees always make
the cut parallel with the branch or
main stem from which the one is re-
moved. This frequently near a larg-

cut is made at right angles to the

wounds will zeal quicker and are less
injurious to the tree tina the much
smaller ones that leave the collar Of
the branch to be covered with healing
tissue. Do not hesitate to remove
large useless Or superfuous limbs from
trees, but always make smooth, clean
cuts with a saw, and if necessary to
prevent splitting the stem Or peeling
the bark, make two cuts-the first
from six to twelve inches out from
where the limb is to be finally cut
off. Nothing can be applied to the

NOTES OF THE HOG LOT.

One of the most difficult tasks ever
attempted is to make a silke purse
out Of a sow's ear" but this is no hard
er than to maxi first class pork out
Of a scrub hog.
A great many breeders seem TO
think if they possess a pure-bred boar
the quality Of the sows do not count
for much. This is a sad mistake in
deed, and farmers can not be too care
full in the selection Of Well-bred sowss
1t is a fact that the pigs of large
litters are usually more uniform in
size and fatten more quickly than
those Of small filters. Here is where
the good breeding Of the SOW comes
in.
