Death rfr j: ". Miley Great Loss to
Celleton County.

: WAlteE boro, Sept. 30.-~J. w.
NlSfey, aged 60, one of the most
ipreininent figures in Colleton county
aMd a man who had the confidence
of all who knew him, died at his
home in the upper part of the coun-
ty on Tuesday and was buried yes
terday with Masonic honors at Little
Swamp cemetery, near his home. HeI
is survived by his widow, whom he
married 40 years ago, and BY Hae
following children: ]. B. M4RS', j.
w. Miley> Jr., R. R. Miley' J. c.
Miley, w. B. Miley, Mrs 'fohn G.
Goodwin, Mrs. P. NJ. Goodwin, Mrs.
J, w. Steedley, of Bamberg; Mrs. j:
D. Carroll and Mrs, n. E. Bennett,
of Holly Hill.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at Little Swamp church, by his
pastor, the Rev. J. c. Counts, as
sisted by the Rev. j. G. Lawson, in
the presence of one of the largest
crowds ever assembled in that COM
munity. The Masonic order had
charge of the funeral services, J. B.
Williams, of Branchville, acting as
master.
Mr.. Miley was member of one of
Colleton's most prominent families,
and entered the cause of his country
in the War Between the States, where
he bore a gallant part, his devotion
to the cause. being shown through
out his life and at the time of his
death he was chairman of the coun-
ty pension board. Mr.. Miley held
several important public positions,
serving as a member of the legisla-
ture for two terms and as member
of the county highway commission.
He was school trustee for 25 or 30
years.
In Little Swamp Methodist church,
of which for years he was devoted
member, Mr. Miley was respected and
loved for the beauty of his Christian
life. He was a steward at the time
of his death and had been superin-
tendent of the Sunday-school for
more than rs years. He was q loyal
and devoted Mason, having served
as master of Hope lodge for rs
years.
Mr.. Mi1ey was a man Of decided
convictions and always took a stand
upon all public issues. He exerted a
wonderful influence in his communi-
ty and throughout the county, and
had the love and esteem of all who
came in contact with him. His coun-
sci will be missed in the public life
of CoIleton county and his place in
his community will be hard to fill.
The large crowd which attended his
funeral was but an evidence of the|
esteem in which Mr.. Miley was held,
people being in attendance from all
the surrounding towns.

ELECTRICITY SAVES TIME.
Quick Service Developed by Modern
Fire Alarm System.

Fire Alarm System.
If there is any application of cleo
tricity that is in class by itself with
respect to convenience and quick
service it is its use in the modern
fire alarm telegraph system. Every
one realizes this in a general way,
but it takes the specific Instances to
bring the points home. A few days
ago a correspondent happened to be
within three feet of fire alarm box
in, downtown Boston when it was
pulled" for small blaze down the
street, and for curiosity's sake timed
the arrival of the apparatus. In one
minute and rs seconds from the pull
ing of the box a hook and ladder
truck golloped into the street op~
posite the fire; in IA seconds more
the motor car of a district chief shot
around the box corner, and in two
minutes from the alarm four pieces
of apparatus were 'on the spot. In
25 seconds more two additional en-
gines swept into place and three min
utes and rs seconds from the giving
of the signal no less than ten fire
fighting units were assembled. The
fire was drowned out in a few mo-
ments with this splendid mobiliZa-
tion, which is simply the everyday
practice of the department and one
doubtless duplicated constantly in
well appointed cities.
Now it is only calling attention to
the obvious to point out the impossi-
bility of accomplishing such rapid
concentration without electricity, but
it is a good thing even SO to realize
now and then how much civilization
depends on these familiar applica-
tions of it's comfortable continuance.
In the case cited there were no elec-
trically driven units to respond to
the alarm, but the time is coming
when the reliability, superior acceler-
alton, and 100 per cent. readiness
for service Without ''hitch-up'' en-
joyed by the electrically driven
equipment now in service in a few
cities will be more generally appre-
ciated. Battery charging for such
apparatus does not add much to CEN
trail station revenue, but it can be
done in most cases off the peak, is
profitable so far as it goes, and is
one of the best possible advertise
ments to the public of the all-around
convenience of electric service

B. J.. Barnett 1900 bales, at price
averaging II cents. The cotton was
mostly cotton held over from last

what would have been secured, if it
had been sold then. At this price
the cotton brought some $4,000.

WEEVIL THREATENS STATE.
Governor Urges Farmers to Plant
Food Crops and Raise Live Stock.

Columbia, October 2.-Because OF
the menace of the boil weevil which
has already reached as close as At
laata, Ca, on it's rapid sweep throug gh
the cotton belt towards South Ca$o-
lima, Governor Richard 1. Ma&hjag
this morning issued an address 70 the
farmers ct South Carolina Nntlining
some steps which he says Should be
taken to combat this aseat menace.
The boil weevil is Just 40 miles
frem the borders OF this State.
!, The address OF the governor fol-
lows:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
I desire 10 call to your attention
matter that, to my mind, is of grave
concern to every citizen of our State.
The boil weevil has reached the At
Anta district, in Georgia. The ag--
ricultural committee of the board ct
trustees of Clemson college, at a
meeting held September 2s and 80,
has considered the alarming aspects
of this matter, and have taken steps
to bring this situation to the atten-
ton of our farmers so that they can
at once prepare for this disaster
when it strikes US. The Government
maps and reports show that the boil
weevil has advanced between 80 and
100 miles towards us this season.
They have another month or more
in which to advance still further in
our direction. l am not an alarmist,
but together with the other trustees
OF Clemson college, l do regard the
situation as so serious that active
steps should be taken at once in or
der to meet this threatened calamity,
and plans are now being formulated
by the Clemson college board looking
to this end. 1 will, at a later date,
give these plans and suggestions to
the public. In the meantime let me
urge our farmers throughout the
State tossow7wheat, oats, rye, clovers,
and other winter crops, in prepara-
tion for money crops other than cot
ton, to be grown next year.
I urge our people also to fix their
minds on plans for raising hogs, cat
tie andoother live stock. I urge this
matter most seriously, and assure
them that Twill advise only what I
know to be facts. The increased
price Of cotton and the spread of the
boil weevil, still further reducing
the yield of cotton, will have a tend
ency to attract our farmers to the
raising of cotton in preference to
rother crops, and to fix their efforts on
can increase in cotton acreage.
This, in my judgment, will mean
disaster. I say it advisedly. Again
I urge that everything points to the
appearance of the boil weevil in
South Carolina within much short
eer time than previous calculations
would indicate, and it behooves US
as sensible people to give this matter
our best thought, and to prepare for
it accordingly. We must not regard
it as one of those misfortunes which
may or may not come to us ia dis
tant future. We believe that the
boil weevil will soon be here.
Again I urge upon our people to
plant food crops and raise more live
stock. I hope that this warning will
be needed.

That little peach dawned on the view
Of Johnnie Jones and his sister,
Those two.
Up at the peach club he threw
Down from the tree on which it grew
Fell the peach of emerald hue

She took a bite and he a chew,
And then the trouble began to brew
Trouble the doctor couldn't subdue -
