BishOpville. April 16.-Joseph Nc
Cutchen. Oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs
w. w. McCutchen Of Wisacky, died
quite suddenly after only two or three
days illness at his home on Sunday
afternoon and was laid to rest in old
Mt. Zion Cemetery Monday afternoon,
the services being conducted by his
pastor. the Rev. Mr.. Hammond. He
was a bright, manly lad, not quite II
years Of age. and had a splendid fu.
ture before him. He was an earnest,
devout Christian, courteous. polite.
true to his convictions and never fail
ed to condemn the wrong and uphold
the right. While only a boy in years,
he was every inch the manly man in
character and devotion to everything
that was clean and noble and uplif.-
ing.
Young McCutchen was one of the
members Of the tenth grade in the
Bishopville High School where he was
loved and admired by his classmates
and teachers. Just one month ago the
members of this same grade were
shocked and grieved over the death
of another Of their most beloved
members. Willie Scarborough. The
passing away within a months time
OF two such splendid characters has
cast a gloom over the tenth grade, the
school and community.

FARMERS BOUND TO WIN

The record of farmers last year,
made in the face of obstacles, is
ground for confidence on their part
that with equal application and organ
ization they can overcome the difficult
ties this year, according to Secretary
Houston. Unquestionably there will
De difficulties to surmount-difficul-
ties IN respect to labor and in respect
to fertilizers, both as to price and
quantity: Prices of farm machinery
also, with other things, have risen. In
some respects the farm-labor situa-
tion may not be quite so difficult as
last year, although it will continue to
be especially acute in certain sec
tons of the country. The cantonlnents
have been built and there will not be
renewal of urgent demands in many
sections for labor for such work. The
draft regulations provide for the de-
TERED classification of skilled farm
labor: The population of the country
has increased somewhat within the
past year. The Secretary of War has

KEEP UP BIG POTATO CROPS.
SAY FEDERAL SPECIALISTS

The normal acreage of Irish and
sweet potatoes should be maintained
IN 1913 notwithstanding the large
crops in 1917, the Department of Ag-
rlculture believes. This is especially
true in view of the necessity of re-
leasing more wheat for export. Pota-
toes, both Irish and sweet, are the
most popular and most generally used
OF the perishable staple crops. The
Department, through its extension
and publication activities, is encour-
aging their greater use, especially
the use of the Irish potato, as a par
tlai substitute for wheat in bread
making.
The yield per care can be made
more certain by greater attention to
the selection of disease-free potatoes
OF good varieties, by treatment of
seed potatoes Immediately before
planting, and by the use of sprays to
prevent loss from blight.
