ffnue to Live in Sparfanburg.

Mr.. A. w. Smith, of Spartanburg,
who, according to an announcement
made Saturday will become president
of the Brandon and Carolina mills,
has not planned to move to Green

Spartanburg. This was the state

asked him what his plans were. Mr..

reelection as president of the
Union-Buffalo mills, and also would
decline reelection as president OF
the Union & Glenn Springs Railway

The directors of these two enter
prises meet in April, and at that time

Woodruff mills.
The directors of the Brandon and
Carolina mills will meet this after
noon in Greenvflle and it is under
stood that the formal election of Mr..
Smith will take place at this meet

reelection as president of the two
mills.-Monday's Greenville News.

DEMONSTRATION AGENT
VISITED UNION LAST week
Mr.. w. p. Stewart Delivered Inter-
esffng Lecture on Soil Building
and Boys Corn Club Work.

Mr.. w. P. Stewart, farm demon
stration agent for Greenville county,
visited Union county the past week
and delivered addresses in the in
terest of his work.
At Jonesville Mr.. Stewart spoke
to about $50 persons. His discussion
there was on Soil Building and Boys
Corn Club work. He emphasized the
need for growing legume crops for
soil building as against the use of
fertilizer for that purpose.
At Kelly's Mr.. Stewart spoke to
about so persons, and along the same
lines as were stressed at Jonesville.
Mr.. Stewart made it plain that the
emphasis in the boys work will not
be on the highest yield, as hereto
fore; but upon cost of production and
quality of corn. These features are
to receive consideration.
Clemson College is to give two
prizes of four weeks course to bows
from each of the "A counties in the
State.
This great work received new i'm
petus from Mr.. Stewards visit. Mr..
F. w. Carnell, agent for Union coun-
ty, did a good service in bringing
him to Union.

w., S. Sanders died March 3rd,
and was buried the following day at
roster Chapel cemetery; the funeral
services being conducted by his pas
tor, Rev. T. F. Gibson. He was a
consistent and faithful member of the

HIS loved ones mourn not "as those
who have no hope" A dutiful son.
a loving husband and father is GONE
And again on last Friday night
ABOUT o'clock, another one of our
Oldest and most respectable citizens
passed away, Mr.. William Sanders, of
near kelton, who was the father of
Mr.. w. 5. Sanders. He was in his S7th
year and was a gallant Confederate
soldier. He entered war between the
states at the beginning and surren-
dered with General Lees army at Ap-
PomatoX. He volunteered in the
johnson Rifles, and served in that
command the most of the war. he
was wounded seven times. He was
so badly shot that he was unable to
do infantry duty, and asked his Col
onel to give him a transfer to the
cavalry. So he went to the 7th s. c.
Cavalry. the McKissick Rangers, and
served in that command until the
close of the war. He could have OBJ
tanned an honorable discharge but he
preferred to fight for the Southern
cause to the end. l have often heard
MN tell of the scenes at Lees sur
render when all the terms of surren-
der had been completed. Lee turned
and faced his little remnant of an
army, brave men, weeping like chill
dren; with tears in his eyes, he said
NOW men, go to your homes and
make as good citizens as YOU have
made soldiers. bid you all an affec-
tionate farewell" and rode off. He

left for his family to do with the flag.
l am sure that either the johnson
klfies, of Union, or the u. d. c., of
Union, would be proud to have that
rene. HIS remains were laid to rest
In the MT. Joy cemetery Sunday about
one O'Clock. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. L. L. Wagnon
OF aUnlon, in the presence of a very
large gathering of sorrowing rela-
tlves and friends. He left a widow
and five sons and five daughters and
many grand children and other rel
atives to mourn his death, all who
nave the profoundest sympathy OF
the community. He was consistent
member of Fosters Chapel Methodist
church. The following Confederate
veterans were present to pay the last
tribute of respect to their departed
friend and brother conrad: A. G.
Bentley, William j. Vaughn, William
II. Gault, Geo. T. Gault, Samuel Gar
