court house Saturday morning look
ing to making plans for the curtaii-
ment of the cotton acreage. Those
who are in New Orleans Attending
the cotton conference will report in

Farmers are not the only class who

must make long pull, a strong pull
and a pull all together, if we expect

Death of MIR. M. S. Walker.

After a lingering illness which eX-
, tended over several years, Mr.. M. S.
Walker died at his home six miles
northwest of Edgefeld, Thursday
night. He had been confined to his
bed for nearly two years. Mr.. Walker
was in his SSH year at the time of
his death. While he did not mingle
with the outside world, Mr.. Walker
was great reader and was well in
formed upon the leading topics of
the day and could converse very in
terestingly upon such matters when
his friends called to see him. Mr..
Walkers life was one of almost en-
tire seclusion, having visited Edge
field but twice since the Civil War.
He possessed remarkable business
ability and managed his farming in
terests very successfully, especially
in the active years of his life.
Mr.. Walker is survived by an only
brother, Mr.. Herbert Walker, who
resided with him. The interment took
place in the family burying ground
at the Talbert place.

Church Debt to be Paid.

Rev. Robert G. Lee issues church
calendar every week in which he not
only announces the services for the
week but keeps the members of his
congregation Informed upon every
phase of the church life and activi-
ties. The weekly calendars have prov
en- to be great stimulus to the work
of the church. In the calendar of last
Sunday, Mr.. Lee announced that
next Sunday an effort will be made
to raise sufficient money to pay off
the debt on the church building. He
preached very earnest sermon Sun
day morning bearing upon the special
undertaking, which greatly increased
the enthusiasm and interest in the
movement. A full attendance of the
membership Of the church is desired
next Sunday. The debt on the church
must be paid off and then soon there
after the building can be dedicated
to the service Of God. Although the
building has been completed four
years or more, it has never been ded
icated because of the debt hanging
ever it. It ought to be raised in full
.iext Sunday.

Death of Much Beloved Con.
federate Soldier.

Edgefeld county lost one of it's
best citizens last week when Mr.. ST.
las Yonce, familiarly known as Gun
Gle Silas," died in Charleston. Ac-
companied by his physician, DR..
Stone and his son, Mr.. Wilbur Yonce,
Mr.. Yonce went to Charleston Tues
day of last week to have his foot
treated by specialist. After Mr..
Wilbur took his father up to his room
at the hotel Tuesday night, he and
DR.. Stone went out in the city to visit
the brother of the latter, and on re-
turning to the hotel they found that
Mr.. Silas Yonce was in dying con-
dition, having been gassed. 1t seems
that Mr.. Yonce turned the gas On the
heater in the room and failed to light
| it or extinguish the flames of the gas
heater without fully turning off the
gas. He was suffocated by the escap-
ing gas in the room. The odor of gas
was detected in the building by the
manager just before Mr.. Wilbur
Yonce returned to the hotel and up
on investigation it was found to be in
the room Of Mr.. Yonce. Life was al
most extinct when his room was en-
tered. Every possible effort was made
to revive him but he was discovered
too late for any human effort to save
him.
The announcement of his death
caused much genuine sorrow among
his friends in Edgefeld and wherever
he was known in the county.
Mr.. Yonce was in his 85th year and
for more than forty years he was an
elder in Mt. Calvary church. He was
the incarnation of all that was true
and honorable and upright. No man
in the county, particularly in the
eastern part of the county, welded
a wider and more wholesome infu-
ence than Uncle Sllas" Yonce. Truly
a good man has gone to his reward.
He served for four years in the
Confederate army, rendering faith
full and gallant service for his coun-
try.
Mr.. Yonce died about four o'clock
Wednesday morning and his body
reached Johnston Wednesday night.
Thursday afternoon the funeral and
interment took place at Mt. Calvary
church, the funeral being conducted
by Rev. j. II. Kinard.
He is survived by his beloved wife
and three children, Mr.. Z. L. Yonce,
Mrs. Arthur Herin ard Mr.. j. Wilbur
Ionce.

Death of Mr.. j. C. Byrd.

Although not unexpected, because
of the serious illness of the past two
weeks, the death of Mr.. j. G. Byrd
which occurred at his home near Be-
irea. Wednesday, caused much gen
.uine sorrow in Edgefeld. Not only
have his frequent visits to Edgetield
during practically all his life caused
him to have scores and hundreds OF
friends, but during the two terms he
served as public cotton weigher at
this place he was brought into very
Intimate relations with our people
and the more they saw and knew of
him the more he became endeared to
them. Mr.. Byrd was quiet and unob-
trusive in his manner yet he never
failed to impress favorably the people
with whom he came in contact, be-
cause of his high sense of honor and
his rectitude of character.
Mr.. Byrd was in his 5Sth year at
the time of his death and all of his
life he had lived in the same commu-
nity. He was held in the highest es-
TEEN and his demise leaves a large
vacant place in the community left.
He was generous and public-spirited
always willing to do his part in every
thing that was undertaken for the
public welfare. During the war just
closed, MIR. Byrd was 100 per cent
loyal and patriotic, willingly giving
up his eldest son, William, to go tc
the front. Nv. Byrd was Mason and
was buried with Masonic honors.
The funeral was held at Gilgal
church Thursday afternoon, being
conducted by his pastor, Rev. P. B
Lanham.
Mr.. Byrd is survived by his wife
and the following children to mourn
his loss: William j.; Mrs. Ollie Grif.
T! ifs, Mrs. Joseph Cartledge, Oswald
Osie, Holloway, Hammond, Ellie Ed,
ma and Warren.
