The OLD MOTTO.


We found it in the attic where II long
had lain away;
The dust had yelled the letters in q
shroud Of misty gray,
A spiders web was tangled in It's odd
fantastic weaves
Across the frame whose corners were
hand carved in oaken leaves.
The old, discarded motto-it was
worked in green and red
On perforated cardboard, and God
Bless Our Home it said.
God Bless Our Homeland loving
hands reach out from all the
years,
The hands that always reached to
help, that wiped away our tears;
And now we know full well that when
this motto held its place
They meant the faded prayer that to-
day we slowly trace;
That every morn of work to do, that
every night of rest,
The good old home was by some
mystic benediction blest.

WEATHER GOOD FOR CROPS.
Gardens and Pastures Have Shown
Marked Improvement.

The week was one of good growing
weather, with frequent rains. Mark
ed Improvement is shown in gardens
and pastures. On the other hand. the
fields have become quite grassy, and
cultivation was being pushed wherever
possible. Cotton was growing rap
idly, but is ragged in spots; the crop
is blooming in the extreme southern
counties. Much corn has been laid
by, and the crop is tasseling in portions
OF the southern counties. Improve
ment in tobacco continues, and prep
arations are being made for curing at
an early date. Stubble lands are be-
ing planted to sweet potatoes, corn,
COW peas and peanuts. Wild black
berries are plentiful.

IMPROVE AGENCY STANDARD.
Commissioner McMaster, OF South
Carolina, Considering Ideas for
Agency Qualifications.

A number of leading agents in
South Carolina are supporting a
movement to raise the standard of
fire insurance agents doing business in
the State. Insurance Commissioner
McMaster is in sympathy with the
matter. In recent letter to the COM
panies, he said that last year there
were nearly 1000 fire insurance
agencies licensed in the State. The in
dividual licenses totalled over 1,400.
At present there are less than 500 Ii
censed agents in South Carolina, so
there is no difficulty in getting ex-
perienced men.
The commissioner says it is both
in the interest of former agents and
the general public that no person be
licensed hereafter except If he haU had
one years experience in a fire insur-
ance office and can pass an examina-
tom before a board of examiners, or
that he take course Of instruction
in the home office of company, say
for thirty days.
1t is the purpose Of Commissioner
McMaster to take thorough counsel in
the matter, and to establish rule
| more exacting than hitherto in Ii
censing fire insurance agents. 1t is
pointed out that no one NAV pra ctice
law, medicine, or dentistry, or even
be an embalmer, or plumber or public
accountant without standing an ex.
animation before State board and
that high standard should be placed
on insurance agents also.--Insurance

WAR PREPARATION RUSHED.
Camp Moore BusiIy Engaged in Max
ing Ready for Trip to Border.

Camp Moore, Styx, S. c., June 30.-
Preparations are still being rushed
with a view to having the South Car
olina National Guard at Camp Moore
ready to move to the Mexican border
at the earliest date possible. Physi-
cal examination Of the 1st regiment
men continues and is being pushed as
much as thoroughness will permit
The examinations are being made very
rigid under the supervision of Major
Miller, U. S. A., and in some Of the
companies fairly large percentage
has been rejected.
Nothing has transpired here to
change the belief that the first regi-
ment will not remain in camp more
than a week longer. Supplies and
equipment are still coming in by ex-
press and are being given to the men
as rapidly as possible. The shoes came
in today and probably by tomorrow
the regular drills will be resumed.
Gov. Manning spent the greater
portion Of the day at the camp. He
was in consultation with Col. Blytha
and Gen. Moore for some time, during
which it was understood that .eral
matters pertaining to the welI..re of
the camp were discussed. The gov
ernor also went among the men, with
whom ne chatted pleasantly. Both
regiments are deeply appreciative of
the interest the governor, as COM
mander-in-chief of the States troops,
has taken in the camp as n whole
and in the men as individuals. Gov.
Manning was accompanied by his
aide, Col. 0. X. LaRoque.

Mccormick, June 2S.-rhe entire

wounds inflicted by her own hand.
Just after leaving the dinner table,
Mrs. Lyon made some remarks as to
how she had enjoyed her dinner. Co.
ing on the front porch she seated her.
self and fired pistal ball through her
heart, death being instantaneous. Two
shots were fired, only one taking ef-
feet, piercing the heart. The other
shot missed.
Before her marriage to Mr.. Lyon,
she was Miss Lily Bradley and was
stenographer for the Bank Of McCor-
mick. After her marriage she made
her home at Troy. While on a visit
to relatives, she became respondent,
beceuse of i'll health and brooding
over this trouble was the cause Of the
act.
Mrs. Lyon was about 25 years Of
age. She is survived by her husband
and one child, a little girl about two
years Of age.
Funeral services were held at Troy
at IL a. m. today with interment at
