Death of Mrs. Charles Strom.

A very sad death occurred in the
Rehoboth community on Tuesday
of last week, when very honored
and beloved member of the Reno.
both church, Mrs. Matte Bell Strotn
passed away.
She was buried from her church
on Wednesday, Rev. J. t. Little
John her former pastor coming over
from Lockhart to be present on this
sad occasion.
Mrs. Strom is survived by her
husband, Mr.. Charles Strom and a
splendid family who are monuments
to her great motherhood.
At the last division meeting of
the Woman's Missionary Union at
Rehoboth in the spring, Mrs. Strom
came at the dinner hour to see the
friends, and sat in her buggy until
time for the afternoon session when
she was able to come in and listen,
and hear her little son James take
part in the exercises. We were so
glad she was able 10 be with US
that day.
At Gilgal at the Woman's Mis-
sionary Union last August year
ago, our friend whom we valued so
sincerely, was there to help, but al
! SO elicit our anxiety as she told y:
of her failing health, We feared
then that it was her last visit to a
woman's mission meeting with her
earthly comrades.
She was the truest and most
faithful, most reliable in her work
for her church and for missions.
A letter was never unanswered nor
a task unperformed, as ! remember
from my many years of acqualnt-
ance with her.
She reached the standard of ex-
cellence in her own life and mis-
sion society relationships, and is
now, we believe, on the honor roll
of the saints on high.
When this is publised our meet
ing at Hardy's will be in session
and our friend will not be there,
but at greater and more glorious
congregation just beyond.

Feed More Legumes-Less
Grain-To Dairy Cows.

Clemson College, .. c., August
2S.-An appeal has been made to
the farmers of the United States to
economic on grain for feeding live
stock. Human beings must be fed
first. therefore milk production must
be aintained, or necessary food
will not be available. Farmers of
South Carolina have great many
substitutes to be used in place of
grain for dairy cows. Cowpea, soy
bean, velvet bean, alfalfa, clover
and vetch hays when fed with good
silage will maintain medium milk
production at very low cost. In
some of the northern states COWS are
fed only on silage and legume hay
when the milk production is not
more than one and one-half gallons
per day.
Several state experiment stations
have made feeding trial with all
falfa hay as a substitute for grain
feeds. At the Illinois station the
milk flow was slightly increased
when eight pounds of alfalfa hay
was substituted for an equal weight
of concentrates. The Alabama sta
ton increased their net profits by
substituting cowpea hay for wheat
bran. In these trials the COWS were
also fed corn silage. Under ordi-
nary farm conditions it is not to be
expected that legume hay can take
the place of the entire grain ration,
but if it is substituted in part, lal re
quantities of grain will be released
for human food.
Every dairy farm should produce
at least one ton of legume hay for
each COW kept on the farm. 1t is
now time to make plans for fall
planting of vetch, crimson clover,
and alfalfa SO that next year the
milk supply may be maintained by
furnishing the dairy cattle an abun-
dance of legume hay. If you do
not know what legumes are best
adapted to your locality, or how to
grow them, apply to the Extension
Division, Clemson College, S. O.,
for bulletin No. Is entitled For
! age Crops for South Carolina. !"
You should also write for bulletin
No. 25, How to Fight the Boil
Weevil with the Dairy Cow" which
gives detailed directions for the
feeding of dairy COWS.

celebrated there. A large crowd
was assembled there, a splendid
sermon preached by DR.. Jones, and
fine dinner enjoyed, after which
there was roll call, messages from
absent ones, apd a song service.
The Ebepezer choir under the lead

greatly improving in its singing.
This is branch of the service to
which churches should give es-
pecial attention, and one in which
many of our country churches need
great improvement. Meeting to-
gether each week for practice is a
great help toward this, besides
furnishing an elevating form Of
social intercourse for the youLg

A number of interesting people have
been summering at this place, and
distinguished visitors are coming

Women to Inspire Men.

In presenting the sponsors, ma

J.. Owens of RiverdaIe, n. D., past
commander-in- chief of the Sons,
said, THE daughters of the South
had come to inspire its noble man.
hood, at this sacred shrine, to offer
again life, fortune, and sacred hon
or for our common country. They
will point their sons, brothers and
sweethearts to the clear path of.
duty in defense of the national hon
or" The sons of the Confederate
veterans will do their part; will
respond to the call of their country
with the courage of their fathers,
said DR.. Owens: More could not
be desired; more could not be ex-
pected. We know that the sons of
both the North and the South will
stand by and defend the flag Of
their country. Our flag stands for
humanity, equal opportunity to all
the sons of men. 1t stands for no
race. 1t is not like an English,
French or German flag. 1t stands
for all men who come and live with
us under it's protection. 1t is the
only banner that means mankind
other flags mean a glorious past
the stars and stripes mean a glorious
future. 1t is the flag of tomorrow,
the signal of the good time coming.
Stand by the flag, boys! l know
you will. Every citizen of our
state shauld play full part in max
ing South Carolina wholesome
place for these young soldiers soon
to be among US.
Of the many good things said by
General Wood while in Greenville,
none is better than that statement
of his in which he said: The
uniform of soldier is just as sacred
as the robe of a preacher. F" Our
soldiers are most worthy of such a
statement. They defend our lives,
our rights, and our honor. And do
so even to the giving of their lives,
if need be. What could be more
noble? These young men come
from splendid homes; homes of
principal, prayer, and purity; they
lare4thes bud and flower of this. great
country of ours. Let US see to 1t
that South Carolina will do her full
duty in caring for her soldiers,
who are soon to go to France to
fight the Kaiser-he stands for
Prussian autocratic rule Woodrow
Wilson stands for Democracy, hu-
manity and Christianity. God
bless President Wilson.
Let us see to 1t that South Caro-
lima will do her full duty in caring
for her soldiers. l hear of some
old 'rough-neck croakers" saying
this is not our fight, but if the
Germans were to come over here I'd
be among the first to defend the
flag, etc. They have no flag and
they are liars ard towards. Those
are strong words of course, but ii
is a strong case and it demands
strong language. 1t is their fight.
1t is Democracy's fight, hunanity's
fight, and God Almighty's eight.
The beast is lose; the devil is un'
chained. The right must win; it
cannot lose-'but peace with human
liberty-will never be had for
nothing. 1t must be paid for In
blood and treasure-there is no
other way, as long as the Hun
and vandals infest the earth. Not
our fight, indeed! 1t is as much
our fight in France as if the battle
line was drawn up in this country.
In the name of God, we will set up
our banners

All business of the government was
suspended for the day and all private
business in Washington stopped for
an hour. In every American naval
ship on the seven seas the ensign
fluttered at half mast and an admir-
ais salute of nineteen guns was
fired.
An entire corps of midshipmen
who came not under orders, but as
Dewey's friends, as ne had wished,
escorted the body to the rotunda
of the capital where Chaplain J. B.
Frazier, chaplain of the Olympia at
Manila Bay, conducted simple funer-
al services. Mrs. Dewey did not ac-
company the funeral party to the
capitol, but joined it on the way to
Arlington.
