In memory of Brother f. l.
Bennett, who died May IS, 1915.
Once again death hath sum-
moned a Brother Odd Fellow,
and the golden gateway to the
Eternal City has opened to well

completed his work in the min

tlicted, in shedding light into
darkened souls and in bringing
10y into the places of misery,
and as his reward has received
the plaudit, "well done" from
the Supreme Master, and
Whereas, The all-wise and
merclful master has called our
beloved and respected Brother

Mystic Order, therefore be it
Resolved, That Meade Lodge

Committee

Since our Heavenly Father has
in his wisdom taken from us one
of our worthy and beloved mem
bers, Mr.. f. |. Bennett, and
while we bow submlssively TO
the Divine Will, we feel that the
removal of such a life from our
midst leaves a vacancy and a
shadow that will be deeply felt
by the community, the Church
and Sunday School, and espec-
tally by the Mems Bible Class.
1t was largely through his eff
forts that the class was first or.
gained and built up and his
faithfulness and loyalty both as
teacher and pupil has contribut-
ed much towards its support and
success.
But though he will no longer
be with us in person, may we
not hope that his spirit and ex-
ample may remain in our men,
cries inspiring us with courage
and zeal in the work of the class.
If "The good that men do lives
after them" surely Bro. Bennett
will be among those "who being
dead yet speaketh."
We extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy to his aged Father and
Mother and to his Sisters and
especially the bereaved family
and commend them to care of
Him who has promised to be a
Father TO the fatherless and a
husband to the widow.

AID settlement is promptly made and
all danger Of suspicion and misundcr-
standing removed.
'The plan is also beneficial to the
farmer educationally. A man send
ing his cattle to Richmond independ-
emily may feel that the price received
for them is too low. When he takes
them into the market with cattle Of
scores Of neighboring farmers, he is
able to compare theirs and his and
to see why his cattle, being perhaps
inferior, bring inferior prices. Fur
thermore, he who has inferior stock
will have an opportunity to talk with
his neighbor who owns the sleek, we'll
fattened steers and. by comparing
notes, learn many things to his ad
vantage.
For our plans we have been given
the hearty backing of the railroads
they will be present. Therefore,
farmers who propose to feed cattle
or hog next fall may do so with the
comforting assurance that they will
be able to sell their stock convenient
~ and at prevailing market prices.
"We have determined to have a
midwinter sale and spring sale.
Farmers will begin to feed cattle and
hogs in early fall for the midwinter
market and in late fall for the spring
market The midwinter market will
be the best market for the sale Of
swine. The county demonstration
agents will inform the extension d.
vision Of Clemson college Of the farm
ers in their counties who are feeding
and the number Of cattle and hogs
being fed and the agents will visit
these farmers from time to time and
report on the condition Of the stock.
Whcvere stock is not doing we'll, We
viii be able to send an expert to see
what is the difficulty and, If possible,
to give relief.
"The plan will put the experts Of
Clemson college in direct touch with
all cattle and hogs that are being fed
in the State.
"The college will in no way be re-
Bponsib1e as to prices: 1t will merely
give scientific and technical informa-
tion and intelligent and practical su-
pervision,"

south of tho fortress. and on Tues
day Berlin announced that three
forts to the north had been stormcd.
while Vienna stated that the railway
between Przcmy%l and Lcmberg was
commanded by Austrian guns.
There still was hope in the allied
countries, however, that a Russian
counter-offcnsivc would hold the in
vaders off, but this proved i'll found
ed and today the Russians had to
give up the city which earlier in the
war had cost them SO dearly to win.
There is no estimate of booty cap
tured but it is faily certain that the
Russians, having plenty OF time, got
away as many men and as much ma
terial as possible and destroyed the
guns and ammunition that remained.
1t Is expected here that the vctors
will endeavor to push OH to Lembcrg

The British government is urging
workmen and employers to turn out

as no other forces ever we're.
Meanwhile the French continue
their operations north OF Arras,
where it is declared they are slowly
moving the Germans out of strongly
fortified positions. The British on

WOULD DEVELOP
LIME DEPOSITS
Y1lmable Lime Deposits in this C0un-
ty Might be Utilized for Fertilizer

Valuable Lime Deposits in this COun-
ty Might he Utilized for Fertilizer
Purposes.
at the conclusion Of the discussion
Monday morning in the court house of
the district markets, Mr.. n. b. Dial
gained recognition from the chairman
to make few rcamrks upon the sub
jcct Of utilization Of lime deposits in
this county for fertilizer purposes. He
mentioned the fact that there were
several deposits in the county and
that they could be developed at COM
paratively small outlay of money, the
principal item in an investment for
putting the lime into usable state be-
ing that Of q crushcr, which would cost
in the neighborhood of eight hundred
dollars. AS it would be for local con
sumption, the matter Of it's location
away from a railroad, he pointed out,
would not have to be considered as it
Is necessary for the farmers to haul
fertilizers from the towns to the coun-
try anyway.
he clted an instance OF how q very
barren section Of Maryland had been
turned into one Of the most produc-
tive counties Of the state by the use Of
lime, how land at one time worth but
a few dollars per acre was now bring
ing over hundred dollars per acre.
This change had been brought about
as a result of the activities of rail
road official who had gone into the
country for his health and had seen
the need for treating and replcnishing
the soil. This official bought large
quantities of lime and gave 1t away to
encourage others to use it. A great
transformation was brought about.
Mr.. Dial's remarks were given close
attention and they evidently made an
impression but no action was taken.

AUSTR|ANS RE.CAPTpRE GREAT FORTRESS
After Being i'm the Hands of the Russians for Ten
Weeks PrzemysI Submits to Ieutonic Fire.

London, June 3.-With the capture
OF Przcmysl accomplished early to-
day, the Austro- German armies
achieved the main object of their
Sreat thrust commenced against the
Russians in western Galicia a month
ago today.
They have yet to drive the Rus
slams farther back and establish
themselves in easily defended posi-
tions which will enable them to de-
tach forces for operations against
Italy and the allies in the West.
Whether or not they accomplish
this, the Teutonic allies have won
a great victory and with a sudden
ness which overshadows all past op-
erations Of the war. 1t was only 10
weeks ago that Przemysl fell to the
Russians after six months invest
ment, which was interrupted for a
short time in November by an Aus
trian advance.
With the surrender Of the fortress,
cording to official reports 10000
Austrians and 600 guns and an i'm
mensc amount Of war material.
Most of the forts, however, had been
destroyed by the Austrians, and this
is considered in military circles here
to account for the fact that the fort
ress succumbcd SO quickly to the
AustrO-German attack.
When the Russians captured Przc-
mysl, they were pressing the Aus
trians across the Carpathan passes.
Then on May 3 came the news of a
great Austro-G German drive into Cali
cia. Advancing slowly but surely and
carrying 1000 guns, the Teutons
compelled the Russians to fall back
until the Russian line ran to tile
right bank of the River San. Cross
Ing the river, the Austro- German
forces progressed to the north and

4 Mysterious Shot.

The quiet and solcmnity of sum-
mer night on the public square was
rudcly broken into Monday night
about nine o'clock by the clear and
sharp ring of pistol discharged in
the vicinity Of the Laurens Hotel Sew
eral policemen rushed in that direc-
tlon from the station house and else
where and made a thorough search of
ali the surrounding premises, but no
clue could be found as to where the
fired. Several people standing near
the Idle Hour theatre and elsewhere
around the square stated that the
sound came from the direction OF the
alley between the hotel and the
building on the opposite side occu-
pied by Solomon's jewelry store. Ser
wants in the hotel reported that the
shot came from the vicinity of the
alley entrance to the public square.
All testimony being sifted and sort
ed, it seemed to indicate that the shot
was fired In the alley just few feet
from the public square, but nobody
was seen there either Immediately be-
fore or after the mysterious shot and
the policemen could find no evidence
OF any difficulty having taken place
Conflicting opinions were passed as
to where the shot came from and why
1t was fired, but no tangible evidence
could be found. After remaining in
the ncighborhood for some time, prob
ably waiting for something to turn
up, the small crowd that had gather
cd gave up hope of solving the mys-
terry and scattered for the night. When
this paper went to press last night,
no new light had been thrown on
the incident and from all appearances
the mystery Will never be solved.
