BENSON BREEZES.
Too Cold for Farm Work. Burial
of Mr.. McCantS.

Benson, February 9:-Very little
farm work was done before Christ
mas and none in this section during
the month of January on account of
the prevailing rainy and cloudy days,
but with a few more balmy days
with radiant and resplendent SUM-
light giving more warmth to the
damp, cold earth, the farmers will be
found ploughing. narrowing, grub
b.ng, ditching and generally prepar-
ing the soil for the growing of an
other crop, hoping for bountiful
yield at the harvest season.
1t is we'll that the belhgerent
powers of the Old World are still
fighting at the present, for it i'm
presses us with a safe and sound
thought to plant less cotton, more
grain, medium tobacco crop and
to use very limited quantity of
fertilizers. Again raise the cry of
the "one-gallus" boys of the COS:
More hog and hominy," and the
country will experience prosperity.
Miss Ossie Epps of Kingstree Wis
tied in this section Sunday for the
purpose of organizing Ladies' Mis-
sionary society. The meeting was
held at 8 p. m. and they succeeded in
organizing with a few faithful men,
bers. The society will meet in the
afternoon of the first Sunday in
March. They urgently request the
attendance of all the ladies Of the
neighborhood, regardless of denomi-
national preference.
Everybody in this section who at
tended the burial of Mr. L W Nc
Cants at Cedar Swamp, where he
was laid to rest beside his lamented
wife and his son. Julius, near by,felt
keenly the seriousness of the occa-
sion. Mr. McCants once lived not
far from here and made many friends
in this section.
Misses Pauline Watson, Anna De-
vore and Ruth Phillips, all teachers
of this section, visited Kingstree Sat-
urday on business.
We do not believe the proposed
act of the Legislature to make it un-
lawful to offer tobacco for sale with
out grading would meet the approv-
al of the people of Williamsburg
county. Let US hear from some one
on the subject. w E 5.
