The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1914-12-18

Mr.. Forbes was present as the rep
resentative of the Hanover National
bank OF New York to say that the
r,oney interest of the east and the
west was willing to come to the relief
OF the situation If tie Southern farmer
was willing to help himself And #
the company was organized that the
financia! interests would advance
money on cotton warehouse receipts
when endorsed by the corporation.
AS soon as this two million bales was
subscribed as stock money could be
obtained to retire several million more
bales, and a minimum price commen-
surate with the cost Of production and
a proper regard for the rights of the
spinners nd-manufacturers could be
established, With no desire to Cypress
any interest.

1t is too late. Well, it is too late

1t seems that no help can be ex-
pected from the federal or State gov
ernment and that the Wade plan is
useless and the only thing left is for
the cotton farmer to help himself, and
ii he is willing to do this the money
interests come In say they will help
him, if he is willing 10 do something
for himself, and this proposition is
made. Every stockholder is to have
tie sane right as every other stock
holder That is to say the farmer with
only one bale as stock will have the
same vote with the farmer who may
lave 20 bales in the company. 1t is
tc be purely Democratic. 1t seems
to me to be good plan and feasible,
and hope to see the farmers of South
Carolina take hold of it and raise the
stock at once Mr.. Jordan stated that
Texas had decided to go into the COM
pany, and that he bad come to South
Carolina because this State had taken
more advanced steps along the line Of
doing something t2an any of the other
cotton States. 1t is expected to get
the charter from Texas, as that State
produces more cotton than any of the
other cotton growing States, hut he
said he would just as soon have the
charter from the South Carolina leg
islature which would meet in January
Gov Blease, wtao was present, said
that he would do anything in his
power to help along the organization,
and If desired would ask the legisla-
trre to grant the charter and that he
would take pleasure in approving the
act if passed.

THE BRIDE

know of no sight more charming
and touching than that of a young and
timid bride, in her robe of virgin white
led trimbling to the altar
When l thus behold a lovely girl in
the tenderness of her years, forsaking
the house of her father, and home of
her childhood-and, with the implicit
confidence and the self abandonment,
which belong to women, giving up all
the world for the man of her choice;
when L hear her, in the good old Ian
guage of the ritual, yielding herself to
him "for better, for worse, for riches,
for poorer, in sickness and in health
to love, honor and obey, till death US
do part"-it brings to mind the beauti.
full and affecting devotion of Ruth:
"Whither thou goeth l will go, and
where thou lodgeth L will lodge: thy
reople shall be my people, and thy God
my God"
Could there be better description
of the young bride of this morn than
this?

Basket Ball.

Last Thursday night there were
four games of basket ball played in
Columbia, two in the Lindsey Wilson
gymnasium and two in the Graded

at the Lindsey Wilson were between
the girls team of that institution and
the girls team of Campbellsville; the
boys team of Campbellsville and the
boys team of the Lindsey Wilson
The girls game was called first and it
was interesting from start to finish,
terminating in a victory for the L.
W. T. S. girls, the score standing 4
to3
This game was followed by the male
teams and their game was not so in
teresting. The Campbellsville boys
evidently did not come up to their ex-
pectation, as the contest closed forty
five to one in favor of the Lindsey
Wilson.
Perfect order prevailed during both
games.
The CampbellsVille girls were chapo-
ronod by Miss Alkaline Caldwell.
At the Graded School gymnasium
there was some exciting playing and
much interest manifested, The first
game was between girls of the Junior
and Senior classes and it resulted in a
tie, four and four.
The warm game was between James
town boys and the school team. 1t
was exciting from the beginning, and
when time was up they had tied, 20
and %. After few minutes rest they
came together to unite and after play.
ing for some time one of the school
boys threw field goal, making two
points, and the contest closed.
There was not jar during the two
games.

Crop Report.

As Is customary, the crop report for
November is della, ed for few days,
SO that the farmers may get very
good idea of the yield of their corn
crop. This is necessary in the case of
tobacco also There will be NO more
crop reports until May l, 1915.
The yield of corn Is estimated to be
% bushels per acre. This is A bushels
per acre more than last year, and 5.6
more than 1912. The yield of Burley
tobacco is estimated at 954 pounds per
acre, as against an estimate of 655
pounds per acre last year. However,
more or loss tobacco is damaged in
quality as the result of excessive rain
during the early part of October. The
damage is estimated at II per cent.
For the same reason dark tobacco is
estimated to be damaged at Is per
cent, with yield of $40 pounds per
acre, as against SOB pounds per acre
last year.
The area of wheat sown has increas-
ed over last years acreage by 81 per
cent. The wheat acreage is estimated
at % per cent; rye at 90 per cent; bar
ley at "a per cent. There is more late
sown wheat than usual, and efforts
were abandoned to get some fields
sOwn. The conditions of these fall
crops is estimated at 81 per cent. Blue
Grass shows condition of 81 per cent,
orchard grass SO per cent, alfalfa 81
per cent, and clover "a per cent.
The farmers and live stock owners
ere in very good position so far as feed
is concerned for the winter. Folders
are not of extra good quality. nor is
the corn crop very sound one. How
ever, there are always enough animals
to consume the unsound crop without
a great deal of risk, and conditions
would be fairly good under ordinary
circumstances. However, the out
break of foot and mouth disease in
some fifteen states, including Ken
lucky, has necessitated Federal and
State quarantine. The Federal au-
thorities have quarantined against
the entire State of Kentucky, and it
is very serious handicap for our farm
erS and live stock owners The State
quarantine affects at present only two
counties, viz : Bullitt and Henry. The |
price of hay has advanced very materi-
ally. Live stock, that woald other
wise be shipped to market to fill the |
coolers of packing house, is held on
the farms in a fattened condition. |
Winter will soon be upon US, and IN
less the United States government re
leases within the next few weeks some !
Of the fattened bullocks and swine for |
points without the State intended for
slaughter a considerable |
Oss is going to occur.
The State authorities are much en-
outraged in the fight to control this
outbreak. No new cases have de-
7eloped whiting the last three or four
lays Farmers and live stock owners
should co. operate with the county au-
jhorities in enforcing the quarantine
wherever one is ordered during this
dangerous period

''SHE DID WHAT
She COULD"
Mrs. Elizabeth E. MurrelI Crosses
Over TO be With Loved Ones
On the Other Side.
HER PAsSINGMAKEs THE wORLDpOORER

Last Thursday morning at about 2
O'Clock, the spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth E
Murrell took its flight for the Celestial
City beyond the skies, in the sixty
fourth year of her age.
She was a daughter of Judge John
ID. and Martha Mourning, and was born
and reared three miles east of Co.
lumbia. At the age of twelve years
she made profession of her faith in
Christ, united with the Methodist
Church and lived consecrated Chris
tian until the hour of her death. She
was from the time of her conversion
active i n Sunday School work and
when quite a young woman became
prominent in conducting the affairs of
the Church. She was liberal giver,
and was better satisfied when engaged
in affairs pertaining to her Masters
business.
On February IS, 1861, she was united
in marriage to Milton J. MurreH, a
cody man, and to them eight children
were born, seven of whom survive her,
one died in infancy. Her husband
preceded her-to the grave eight years
ago. The living children are: E. c.
Murrell, who lives in New Mexico; Mrs,
Matte Vance, who resides in Florida
These two could not be at her bedside,
but the remainder, Judge T. A. Muir.
rell, of Lebanon: Dr. G. NJ. Murrell,
of Illinois: DR. ]. n. Murrell, Column
bia; Rev. N. NJ. MUrrell, Monticello:
and Mrs. S. t. Hughes, of Bliss, this
county, were with her until the end
came.
She was sick only one week, her af- |
Fiction being complicated.
The greater portion of Mrs. Muir
rell'S life was spent out of town, but
for the last twelve years she resided in
Columbia with the exception of three
years which she spent in New Mexico
with her daughter, Mrs Vance, and
other relatives.
She was the same conSecrated wom-
an abroad that she was known to be
at hOme-regular to attend upon all
the ordinances of the Church.
In revivalS she was a constant work
er among the unconverted, and many
persons have been led to the altar
her entreatieS and prayers.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist Church Thursday after.
noon at o'clock, and notwithStand-
ing it was a very disagreeable day, the
church was well-fil with relatives
and SympathiZing friends. Her pastor,
Rev. J. S. Chandler, officiated, and in
most touching words he paid a high
tribute TO the life and character of
the deceased. At the conclusion, the
body was conveyed TO the city GENE
terry and there deposited by the side of
her husband, the mound being covered
with beautiful flowers.
To the children, we would say, thy
mother left you a priceless heritage
Strive to enter in at the straight gate.
and when life's work is over you will
see and know her in that Land where
there is no sickness nor pain, but
where happiness reignS supreme.
