To My Baby, Bennett Edwards
Zimmerman.

Tho it seems long, twas short time
ago,
Near the town of Trenton, S. c.,
That a baby lived there whom we all
know :.
By the name of Bennett E.,
And this baby lived with no other
thought,
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was the mother and it was my child
It's older brother named ]. P,
And our love was far more than love
We and our tiny Bennett E.,
With love the bright angels of
heaven
Coveted him and me.
So seems this the reason that few
weeks ago
In the town of Fort Mill, S. c.,
The heavenly messenger came from
above and called
My precious Bennett E.
So that his high born kinsmen came
And carried him away from me,
And shut his dear body up in grave
In the cemetery unity.
The angels as we'll as the people of
earth,
Were envying him and me,
And this is the reason, as all men
know,
At Grandfather's in Fort Mill, S. c.,
That the angels came from heaven
above
And took away my purest Bennett E.
When worn with grief, 1 drop off to
sleep,
I dream of my Bennett E.,
I see the silken black head and the
sparkling brown eyes
Of my fairest Bennett E.
And neither the angels in heaven
above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the
Of my darling Bennett E.

Mccormick Court Quickly Ad'
JournS.

Mccormick, 81 C. Feb. 1.-THE
February term of Court for McCor-
mick county adjourned rather sudden
and Unexpectedly on yesterday.
Court of General Sessions opened on
Monday morning with Judge Frank
B. Gary of Abbeville presiding and
the newly elected Solicitor T. C. Cal
lison of Lexington, S. c., represent
ing the state. Judge Gary made a
clear, we'll directed charge to the
grand jury on Monday, calling their
attention to the reports that whis-
key or w!:at they call whiskey is be-
inc made n this county and that it
was their duty to look into this con-
ditioa a2d remedy it by proper rec
tommendation to the Legislature for
adequate laws to enforce the prohi-
bition statute. After an elaborate
charge the jury retired; by q o'clock
in the afternoon had completed their
consideration of all bills handed them
and also their investigation of all
matters which they thought should
come before them. Judge Gary evil
IDENTIFY wanted to impress upon them
again what he had said in his charge
when he said: "Now gentlemen, you
have been in session about four hours
and you seem not to care much about
what the presiding judge said in his
charge this morning-if you fail to
do your duty l can not help it, l
have done mine"
The first case tried was that of
State We. j. Tom Smith charged with
murder which resulted in mistrial
after the jury had remained out all
night. There was one defendant CIV
en- fifteen years for burning house,
one three years for car breaking and
second one for car breaking plead
guilty and received 1s months. Grim
inal court being over Wednesday the
remainder of the week had been set
aside for the trial of cases resulting
from the death fo DR.. P. 7. Black
in August of last year on a 4..liway
crossing of the C. & w. C. railway
near Mt. Carmel. Two suits had been
brought totalling S125,OO0.OO DAM
ages claimed for the death of DR..
Black. Just before the drawing of the
jury commenced the attorneys an
nounced that they had reached an
agreement whereby they did not
think it would be necessary to try this
case in order to reach settlement.
The amount settled for has not been
made public, but it is understood
that both sides are satisfied. Court
then promptly adjourned for the
term.

United We Stand, Divided We
Fall. MIR. Cotton Farmer, Is
That So?

| The Department of Agriculture
has been trying for the past few
years to show the farmer that it real
| ly pays to standardize the various
commodities he has to market. Has
it paid? l say it has, to those who
have needed the advice given, but
have you given the matter careful
thought that when you have made
barrel of potatoes carefully select
ed them and packed in marketable
condition, or bale of cotton which
you have picked carefully and ginned
it carefully, then had it standardized
by disinterested classer, at this
point you feel like you've done your
duty and this you have, but stop.
Don't you believe we would have
more money after selling if we would
follow the next important step,
MARKET in car lots, and in grades
and staple of even running lots?
You can always interest wholesale
produce house in a car lot of pota-
toes or any other car of vegetables,
and likewise the cotton mills will lis
ten to you if you tell them you have
hundred bales of a certain grade
and staple. Now we can't all make
enough cotton to have a hundred
bales each and if you did have that
number it would be spread over at
least four grades. Now the thing to
do is to get your neighbors to join
in selling then get those who live in
your county who are not your neigh
bors to join with you, and before very
long you will all be neighbors, to-
gether for one great and good cause.
Stop and give this matter of selling
through a marketing organization
careful consideration. Ask does it
pay those who now follow that rule.
1 say it has paid big dividends.

Greek Tale.

Once lived in Constantinople a
wise and wealthy Greek. One day as
he was walking along street, he
met a "Derbish"-Turkish priest.
AS costume they wear a white tur-
ban and grow long beard. Passing by
the "Derbish" the Greek neglected
to salute him. He got offended and
called his attention. But the Greek,
instead of any answer, spit on his
beard, and kept going on. Now the
"Derbish" being insulted sued him
for impiety. The day for the trial
came and the Greek brought to the
court to be tried and apologize. The
judge looking at him angrily said
"Did you do that?" eyes sir" the
Greek answered aand I can show you
papers and prove that am allowed
to do such thing" "Well, let me
see them," the Judge demanded.
Immediately the Greek pulled out
his pocket an envelope which con-
tained money bills and handed it to
the judge. The judge got astonished,
looking on the inside and seeing the
enclosed contents. He paused lit
tie. Then he shook his head and while
caressing his long beard, turned to
the jurors saying, "Alach! My God!
He has got enough papers to spit on
my beard too"

EVANS v. sERvETAs.
Tribute to Abraham Lincoln

Human grandeur in its greatest en-
inence
Was this grand and noble man;
From lowly birth he built we'll his
prominence,
By noble humane plan.
His soul was bathed in God-given
grace
He stand without peer;
His matchless mind has never been
replaced,
And never will, I fear.
His noble words and deeds ring forth
And with such harmony blend
They overwhelm our soul, and to him
we quoth
A heartfelt, glorious Amen.

AUTOMOBILES KILL
A Child EACH DAY
Motorists Should Exercise
Caution.

In connection with the mo Acct
dent Week" campaign held through
of Maryland, effort to reduce to the
minimum the number OF automobile
nishaps, resulting either in death
or injury to autoists or pedestrians
is being made by the Maryland mo,
tor vehicle commissioner.
In bulletin issued to the public
fattention is directed to fatal acct.
dents to children from autos. 1t
says:
Every day, one child under ten
years of age. is killed by an automo-
bile in the United States. The driv-
ers are largely responsible. Why?
Children lack judgment and easily
become confused or frightened and
Jump in front Of your car. In the
excitement of play, they forget ali
danger and are liable to dash in
front of your car. In coasting into
the street, child cannot control
himself and clear your car. While
playing, a child often stands on the
curb with his back turned toward
the street, when suddenly another
child gives chase and he wheels
around and darts into the street.
Therefore-There is just one safe
rule for drivers to follow when ap-
preaching children at play in the
streets or on the side walks, drive
slowly and always have your car
under perfect control.

FEARS DOWNFALL
BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA
Soviet Fails And Millions Are
Starving.

Tire possible downfall of the Rus
sian soviet government unless
means are found to prevent the
starvation Of large numbers of per-
sons because Of the crop failure in
Russia is suggested by the Rote
Fahne, the soviet organ, which as
serts that 25,000,000 Russians are in
imminent danger of dying.
An official dispatch from Moscow
the newspaper says, verifies reports
that the situation is most serious
and that death is threatening a ma
jority of the population of the Volga
region.
During the last year the Rus
sian cities have suffered munger and
complete economic disorganization
and the destruction Of traffic be-
tween cities makes the task of
feeding now exceedingly difficult"
the Rote Fahne declares.
The newspaper expresses the fear
that the "capitalistic countries will
take advantage of the confused con-
ditions to cause new military action
against Russia"
TIE conservative newspapers
point out that the bolshevik admin
istration by the admission Of its own
organs has failed and they express
the belief that a crisis, if not a
downfall, OF the soviet administra-
ton is imminent.
