bade the chauffeur stop and inquire
directions Of an old negro man Who
trudged along. Can you tell Inc where
Mr.. Boilers place is?" asked the
president.
"Yes sir. kin, cayse I works dar
myself" The way as pointed ont was
somewhat vague, so Mr.. Taft told the
old man to jump in by the side of the
chauffeur and act as guide. Upon ar
irving at Mr.. Boilers home Mr..
Taft gave the old man a 50-cent piece.
Mr.. Boiler. afterward hearing of the
incident, called the recipient, saying:
"Uncle Tom, I hear the president
gave you fifty cents. You ought to
prize that and keep it always as SOU
venir."
II sho will do dat" the old negro
replied.

THE WAR NEARER HOME.

The death of the three Newberry
boys near Fernandina the other day
when the boat on which they were
serving the government was ship
wrecked in the storm, brings the Wa"
nearer to our own doors, and makes
US realize the more what it means
When we read column after column
Of names of those who have been
either wounded or killed in battle,
or are missing, and we do not know
any of them, it does not strike US
so forcibly that there is really war
in progress, because we do not know
them and we read it as a passing item.
OF course, feeling tinge of sorrow
when we think of the mothers and
other relatives. But when those
young men whom we know personally
and who have gone in and out among
US from their youth up are stricken,
then we know aud realitzeEthat the
war. is raging.
Prof. Jacob O'Merle Singley, one
of the young men who lost his life
in the ship wreck the other day, is
the SON Of MIR. and Mrs. J. Cal singley
of near Prosperity, and was a teacher
before entering the service of his
country, and an excellent young man.
He has a brother who is in the navy.
And is survived by his father and
mother and several brothers and
sisters. 1t is sad to be thus stricken
in early manhood.
Mr.. William Sample, another victim
of the wreck, is the young son of
Supervisor and Mrs. c. Sample of
Newberry ard was not quite is years
old. In fact we did not know that
Mr.. Sample had son is the service
until we saw his name among the
list of those who were missing. He
was under the draft age but wanted
to go into the service of his country
Only short time ago he was home
On a short furlough.
Both families have the deep and
tender sympathy of their many friends
in the county. 1t is sad to be cut
down so young, but many of the
flower of our young manhood will go
before the terrible conflict is over.
It could not be otherwise, for war
means kill and be Killed. True these
young men did not: lose their lives
in battle, and yet it was part of the
war game. These young men have
given their life for their country just
as much as if they had been in the
front line trenches when the summons
came to them. They were doing their
duty as directed by those who are IN
authority.

SEEDING RYE

The best yields are usually Sc
cured from early seeding. If
there is enough moisture in the
soil the last week in August or the
first two weeks in September is
a good time to SOW rye. Good
crops have been produced from
later seeding but usually the
yield will be higher if it is seeded
before September Goth. Where
the soil does not drift summer fall
low, corn ground or potato ground
will usually produce the best yield
Of rye, but this land is also in the
finest condition for producing
wheat. Rye will do we'll if
stubbled in on land that was we'll
prepared for spring grain and that
is not too weedy. This is especi-
ally true Of sandy soil. In fact,
better yields are usually secured
by stubbling in than by fall plow-
ing such land and the blowing
would delay the seeding. The
stubble holds snow and prevents
drifting. -Four or five packs make
good seeding.-Ex. Div. N. d.
