Mrs. Allen was the youngest daughter of the late Joseph Adams of the Elmwood community of Edge field county, and leaves one devoted sister, Mrs. Sue Adams Daniel of near Saluda, three brothers and a sis ter having gone on before. Besides the faithful and devoted daughter, Mrs. Ashley, she leaves four sons, equally as devoted, who are completely crushed because "Mother" to whom they have looked so long for loving council and advice, has gone from them. The sons are Dr. Ben Lee Allen of Saluda, William Orsamus and Walter Scott Allen of Fruit Hill, and Joseph Adams Allen of Saluda. Her oldest child, Mrs. Lizzie Allen Johnson died about six years ago, and the second, Miss Maggie Allen, died just as she reached young wo manhood. Mrs. Allen was a devoted Christian woman, a member of Rocky Creek church for many years, being at the [ time of her Home-going, 77 years of age. The funeral services were conduct ed by her pastor, Rev. W. P. Brooke, being assisted by Rev. H. L. Baggott of Ward, S. C., and Rev. H. B. White, a former pastor, and Rev. G. S. Bear den of the Lutheran church of Salu da. Eight nephews of Capt. Allen and Mrs. Allen acted as pall bearers. She was laid to rest in the family burial ground in sight of the dear old home, where she had lived since her marriage, just after the Civil war. Lovely flowers covered her grave. Some day "I shall know the loved one who has gone before, And joyfully sweet will the meet ing be; When over the river, the peaceful river, The Angel of Death shall carry me." A DEVOTED NIECE.

All ministers and leaders are urged to assist in bringing this good . news to the people for only by the : concerted.effort of all the people can the maximum good be gained. For Fall Tomatoes. Clemson College, June 19.-Many ' gardeners and farmers who wish to ; grow tomatoes for market on a small scale are asking just now for infor mation on growing fall tomatoes, says Prof. C. C. Newman, horticul- \ turist, who makes the following sug- ' gestions. It is well to make two plantings of 1 seed-one the first week in June and . another about two weeks later, us ing a standard variety such as the : Stone .Thin out the plants so that they will become stocky by the time they are transplanted in late July. It is advisable to have plants that j are at least 6 inches tall, as the large ( plants stand transplanting in mid summer very much better than the . small ones. Plants 6 or 8 inches tall \ should be set three-fourths of their length in the soil. Plant tomatoes in an open furrow rather than on a bed; fertilize them liberally with well decomposed sta- ' ble manure, applied in the drill and ' a complete fertilizer analyzing about 8 percent prosphoric acid, 4 percent nitrogen and 4percent potash at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre. The rows should be four feet apart and the plants set 3 feet apart in the row. In transplanting the tomatoes use a liberal quantity of water around the roots of the plants, and take care that dry soil is drawn about each plant after it has been watered, to prevent the soil from baking around ?the plant.

As it is said by County Chairman How ell, in notice published this week, it will give that section of the county undue advantage whose women en roll, if there are other sections where they do not enroll in the same propor tion. Women may not have liked the idea of having the ballot, but since they have it, it is their duty to use it. The Press and Standard wishes to urge the women of the county to scan the life and history of the men who offer for election and if they ring true to vote for them, otherwise to cast their ballots for those who come nearest their ideals. It will be well for every voter to remember that a man does not become a good man af ter he offers for office. He can not make goodness in a night. It takes a lifetime to grow a really good man, and one whom it will do to trust. The oily and smooth tongued politician may net be the best man for the job. The women will learn, however, as fcdjf believe they are apt pupils in the political lessons of the times. The thing about which we are con cerned now is that all the voters of the county, men and women, enroll and vote.-Walterboro Press and Standard. News From Trenton.
