William H. Davis

On June 23d, 1887, in Able
vile District, South Carolina.
was born a fine boy. William H.
Davis was the name given him
by his mother and father. By
them he was brought to this
country at the age of seven
years, and here in the Southland
he proved himself to be a man
by taking the right beginning at
the right time. Bro. Davis at an
early age joined the Methodist
Episcopal church. South. and for
many years served as a steward,
doing his work well. He was
among the first to volunteer SER
vice in that bloody war between
the states in behalf of his be-
loved Southland. He was in
Company E. 41st Miss. Regiment.
under Colonel Tucker. Through
all the hunger and bloodshed he
proved himself true as steel,
serving through the entire war,
and at its close was given an
honorable discharge. Returning
home to begin life again, we
might say in a torn up world,
he felt the need of one to love
and help him fight this battle; so
Miss Mary Walker offered to
fight the battle with her love and
tender hands. and soon they
were Joined together as their
own company through life. There
was added to this company nine
children. Some years ago the
mother went to heaven, also five
children have gone that way;
four are living. On April 10.
1917, Bro. Davis passed to his
reward; almost eighty wears was
his time. He was buried in Old
Chapel graveyard, many friends
and loved ones being present.
Funeral services were conducted
Soy the writer. One by one the
old soldiers are leaving US, and
young ones coming in; 50 may
the young ones of today prove as
true as those who wore the gray.

Use Plenty Of Cotton Seed

How many cotton seed to plant
per acre is a question being ask
ed by farmers all over the cotton
belt. The high price of seed has
caused this question to come up
in the minds of the farmers.
Since 8 or 10 pounds of seed
will give many more plants than
is really needed if all come up.
what is the use of planting 30
pounds?
It has been found by actual
experience that it is more eco
nomical to plant 80 pounds of
seed than to plant eight or ten
pounds.
When the seed are planted
thick the cotton will come up to
stand even if the ground is set
tied down hard by a big rain
while q thin planting will not get
through a hard crust made by
the rains. When the stand is
thick and continued wet weather
causes the vegetation to become
troublesome in the cotton you
can clear it Of this vegetation
and leave a perfect stand very
rapidly. While IL the stand is
thin a great deal of time is lost
in trying to save a stand, and If
it is very thin you will not he
able to save it at all. So expert
ence teaches that it is more eco
nomical to use plenty of seed
even though the price is high.

Syntha Deaton

That was a joyful meeting
which occurred on Friday last
when Syntha Deaton crossed the
River Of Death and clasped hands
with her brother. Sam. who had
preceded her a few years. Her
death was a most striking ex.
ample of Christian triumph. She
was an invalid during the last
three years of her life, yet she
was patient and submissive to
the Heavenly Father. The home
has been hereft of an honored
daughter, and one the sunset Of
whose life in going down forever
has left the trailing light of q
blessed impress behind it. For
many years she has been a con-
secrated Christian and met death
without fear. For the past few
years she has been patiently
waiting for the command to
come up higher. But they sor-
row not as those without hope.
For as the departed one gave
abundant evidence of being a
true Christian. they expect to
meet her again where there will
be no more sorrow or crying.
Until that time may that One
who has promised to wipe away
all tears from the eyes Of his
people, comfort the bereaved
ones in the loss of a devoted
daughter and sister. She was
laid to rest at Old Unity. Bro.
Russell conducting the funeral
services. A large concourse of
friends gachered to pay their
last tribute of respect. May the
sorrowing ones meet her again
where there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow or crying.
