In Memory Of MY Devoted Father.

On June 10th, 1914, at very early
hour the death angel visited our home
and took from US our loved one, Mr.
NJ. NJ. Graham. He leaves an aged
mother, six brothers, one sister, wife
and FIVE children to mourn his loss,
besides host of friends and relatives.
He was always devoted father, and
did what he could for his family. He
was in good health until unfortunately
he fell across a piece OF timber which
caused his illness and death. He was
only spared with us one week after his
fatal accident. We sure hated to give
him up, but God in His wisdom doeth
all things well.
Dearest father thou has left US,
And eur loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that has bereft US,
he can all our sorrows heal,
Yet again we hope to meet thee;
When the days Of life is fed,
When in Heaven in Joy to meet thee
Where no farewell tear is she'd.
Precious darling, he has left US,
Left us, yes forever more;
But we hope to meet our loved one,
On that bright and happy shore,
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear one is gone;
But oh! brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is now his OVID.
The dearest one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stiiled
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can ee filed.
! God In His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love had giveo
And tho the body slnmbers here,
The Soul is in Heaven.
His Devoted Daughter,
JEWELL GRAHAM,

The preparation for canning by the

LOOK OUT FOR CHEATS

We have received from the
Department of Agriculture at
Washington a warning to farm
ers and those interested in the
industry Of raising hogs. We
deem this Of such Importance
that in order to keep those di-
rectly interested from being mis-
led we reproduce here what the
department says about the pro
prietary cure for hog cholera
that is being widely advertised
in the newspapers:
Evidence of what appears to
be well organized campaign to
delude farmers throughout the
country into buying al alleged
cure for hog cholera, under the
impression that this has been
investigated and approved by
the United States Government,
has reached the Department of
Agriculture. Articles praising
this medicine, Benetol by name.
are being sent out widespread
to newspapers. These articles
are so worded that it appears as
if the Department of Agriculture
had received reports from the
State of Minnesota showing that
the medicine had proved most
beneficial. AS a matter Of fact
the one report received oy the
Department was an unofficial and
unsolicited statement sent pre-.
sumably from the promoters
themselves. The Department
attaches no Importance wnatso-
ever to this statement. It has
no reason to believe in the efic-
iency Of any proprietary cure
for hog cholera and does not
recommend any Under certain
conditions it urges farmers to
protect their stock with anti-hog
cholera serum but that IS all.
In connection with this at
tempt it may be said. that the
medicine, which is DOW put for:
ward as good for hogs, was ad
vertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis,
typhoid, and cancer germs, &C
cording to an article published
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association. At that
time it was asserted that the
Army was interested in 1t. AS a
matter of fact the Army was no
more interested then than the
Department Of Agriculture is
now.
In-view of the evidence that
the attempt to create this false
impression is persistent and
widespread, all hog owners are
warned to communicate with the
United States authorities before
accepting as true any statement
that the Government recon-
mends any treatment other than
the serum already mentioned.

Haryin- Harrison.

One OF the most popular young
ladies of this town was led to
the marriage altar last Wedres-
day evening in the Presbyterian
church by Mr.. James W. Har-
rison. of Walhalla, a young man
that formerly lived in Manning
where he made a host of friends,
and by his upright walk in life
won one of Manning's choicest
gems. The local correspondent
for the Columbia State has writ
ten the following story OF the
happy event.
I'm the Presbyterian church
on Wednesday night Miss Susan
Brock Harvin was married to
James W. Harrison Of Waihalla.
The ceremony was performed by
the brides pastor, the Rev. L.
B. McCord, and there was a
large assemblage Of relatives
and, friends to witness the inter-
esting event. The church was
picturesquely decorated with cut
flowers, potted plants and softly
colored electric lights.
Just before the ceremony
proper Miss Valleye Applet
sang "Calm as the Night" to ac-
compartment by Miss Annie
Gentry of Summerton, then the
ushers came down the aisles and
took positions on opposite sides
of the rostrum as follows: Sam
Barron, Aiphonso Rigby, Aus
tin Sauls and Jesse Sprott. Al
ter these came the attendants
singly in opposite aisles as fol-
lows: Miss Willie Spencer Of
Chester, and Frank Harrison of
Charleston, Miss Marion Wells
of Manning and Baylis Harrison
of Walhalla, Miss Nan Laney Of
Charleston and Preston Lyles of
Columbia, Miss Hannah Miller

vim of Charleston. acted as ring
bearer. The bride entered
leaning on the arm of her eldest
brother, L. H. Harvin: and met
the groom at the altar, the lat.
ter coming in from an ante-room.
The ring ceremony was used
and was carried out in beautiful
form.
After the ceremony a recep-
ton was held at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Rigby, where
the bridal party was greeted by
many friends. Punch was serv-
ed by Miss Julia Sistrunk and
cream and cake were served by
Misses Minnie Sue Sauls and
Aileen Rigby. The bride re-
ceived a bewildering array of ell
egant presents.
The bride was goWned IN
white crepe meteor and carried
a bouquet of bride roses and
ferns. The maid Of honor wore
pink crepe de chine and the
bridesmaids wore white crepe
de chine with pink girdles. They
carried pink carnations and
ferns. The little flower girls
dress was lace over pink.
After the reception the newly
welded couple left in an automo-
bile for Sumter, where they
took a train for a bridal trip.

FOUND HAPPINESS IN LABOR
Sensible If Unusual Course Followed
by Man Who Had Millions at
His Command.

A ~forceful lesson in the human ma
ture which rules us all may be gath
cred from the experience of the young
mar who, inheriting a large fortune.
was wise enough to realize that no
man, rich or poor. can find happiness
except in work and accomplishment.
This man. while still in college. fell
heir to several millions. but tired Of
the futility Of an existence In which
there was no element OF difficulty. left
his home and college. obtained en-
ployment on the construction line OF
a railroad. rose on his w merits to
be a section boss and now reports
himself thoroughly happy.
Ais action was futile and foolish
for one who might use the power Of
wealth for his pleasure and others
good. 1t may be said, but 1t shows
that he realized the real unhappiness
Of those who try to be happy without
