Death of Little Frances Moore.
While, on account of her serious i'll

While, on account Of her serious i'll
ness, it was not altogether unexpect-
ed, yet the death of Frances Moore,
the only daughter Of Capt. and Mrs.
L. Y. Moore, which occurred Mon
day morning about nine o'clock cast
a gloom over the entire community.
The immediate cause of her death
was pneumonia which followed an
attack of typhoid fever. Throughout
her illness, Frances received the
closest and most devoted attention,
Besides her family physician and a.
trained nurse, her parents were un--
ceasingly at her bedside, throughout
the long days and weary hours of the
night, leaving nothing undone that
would in any manner contribute to
her comfort. Everything possible
from human standpoint was done
to prolong life but God saw fit to call
her unto Himself, transplanting her
from world beset by human Ills and
woes into that upper and better realm
where happiness is unceasing and
eternal. The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the three de-
voted brothers and to the grief-strick-
en- parents who gave themselves.
wholly and so unselfishly to minister
ing to her every wish and need. This
affection and sympathy of the Edge
field people was expressed by the nu-
merous and very beautiful flowers
that were sent in throughout the en-
tire day yesterday.
The body was taken to Columbia
this morning for interment in the
family square in Elmwood cemetery,
the family being accompanied on this
sad mission by number of close per-
sonal friends who would share their
grief with them.

Distance Greater by Way of
Mccormick.

While coming from Anderson one
day last week Mr.. w. A. Pardue, hav-
ing some business in Augusta, decid-
ed on reaching Greenwood that he
would go by way Of Mccormick just
to take a look at the much talked Of
road. He found the highway in very
good condition but the distance from
Greenwood to Augusta is 8 miles
greater by Mccormick than by Edge
field. Furthermore, for several miles
before reaching the river very sharp
curves make travel, according to Mr..
Pardue, somewhat dangerous, espe-
cially at night. In the main the Nc
Cormick is well kept up but Mr.. Par
due thinks it is rather narrow. Being
eight miles nearer to Augusta by
Edgefeld we should have no trouble
in holding the travel if we will keep
the Dixie Highway in Edgefeld coun-
ty in first class condition. This by
all means should be done. Mr.. Par
due further stated that he has reason
to believe that in short time the
Aiken authorities will put in good
condition the stretch of road be-
tween Edgefeld and North Augusta.
With this improved, this main thor
oughfare should be made one of the
best in the state.

The collections of the various
classes of the Baptist school on Sun
day morning last went toward pur-
chasing new books for the library. A
Sunday school library is most ex-
cellent thing, and force for good,
as it instills into the minds of the
youthful readers nothing but good.
thoughts and good impulses. The re-
installing Of the Sunday school IL
brary was a most worth while act on
the part of the school. Several years
ago the school afforded a fine libra
ry, but from constant use, the books
gradually wore out, and for while
the library was discontinued. No
Sunday school should be without its
we'll selected library.

ox.WARBLE IS COSTLY PEST
Loss Caused by Decrease In Milk Flow,
Destruction Of Hides and Meat
Wastaoe.

"The little ox-warble means an &C.
tual cash loss Of $50,000,000 to the
United States each year." stated F. G.
Bishop, Of Dallas. Tex, In an address
before the American Association for
i the Advancement Of Science, at their
meeting In Toronto, recently.
"The loss comes" he said, through
"a falling off in the milk flow, illness
among the cattle, due to irritation and
worry, destruction Of hides and vast
age Of meat when the beast finally
goes to, the block"
"When the grubs reach the back Of
the animal" said the speaker, "they
make their presence apparent by the
lump or swelling their body causes.
| Gradually they make their way out
through the back Of the animal and
drop of, to begin all over again their
life history. The only hope Of dealing
with the pest lies In energetic action
|by cattle owners In working out and
destroying the warbles from the backs
Of their stock. The herd should be
gone over systematically every 80
days, the grubs squeezed out and de.
stroyed. OF course, even then, there

low box or tray filled with soil and
kept in a warm, sunny place until the
weather is quite warm. Eggplant re-
quires rich soil and good cultivation.
Occasional applications Of very weak
LIQUID. manure also benefit the plants
greatly. +.
Eggplant is attacked by several
kinds Of insects, the most trouble
some Of these being the little fiea
beetle which works upon the leaves,
filling them full of small round holes.
As a remedy, dust the plants thor
oughly with air-slaked lime or very
fine tobacco dust. By removing the
fruits Of the eggplant as soon as they
attain good size the plants can be
kept fruiting until killed BY frost.
Black beauty and improved large pur-

INCOMPETENTS ARE KEPT

The annual turnover In the govern
ment service is something alnost In
credible. No business corporation,
however strongly established, could
long endure the heavy annual drain, on
its resources. Hundreds of men Leave
the government service daily; and
new, unframed people have to be taken
on and taught to do the work. This
costs money, as every employer
knows.
The designations from the govern
ment service are chiefly from the SUI
pervlsory and most highly paid posi-
tions and from the very lowest grades.
The men at the top, If they have any
initiative or ability or ambition to
make a name for themselves, are Of
fered private employment at double
or treble or more what the govern
ment can pay them. The people In
the lowest grades leave for private
employment when opportunity affords
because in too many instances they
actually cannot keep body and soul
together on their government pay.
It is the people in the middle class
who stay on the longest. The whole
constant process makes for steady
deterioration in the quality of the
government service and tends to re-
tain the mediocre in public employ.
