With the passing of Miss Chariot' e Kershaw, which occurred at the home >f Mr. and Mrs. \V. Bratton .deLoach, At l?p. m., Wednesday, March 7th, passes from Camden, the last of a .name, the most prominent i*x the his ory of the town. She was the daugh er of the late Colonel Joseph Bre Vard Kershaw, and his wife Lucretia Douglas Kershaw and spent her life n the old town that her forebears had been such generous benefactors of. ff he lives most who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best, then ?>he lived a life much longer than that counted by years, for her life was filled with nil the dignity, grace and irtue that could' be crowded into it, t She was a true southern woman, to the manner born, and loyal to ?very southern instinct of her life. In her vision of life there Was no place for artificiality, affectation or pretense. Prominent position meant to her not an exaltation of self, hut an opportunity to be more useful and l,0 help the greatest number. She had a heart for humanity in which dwelt all that was genu.nej pure and holy. She wa4ked at all times with her hand in that of the Master and the path she trod was one His feet had made. 'And friends, dear friends, Although we meet around her bier to weep, Lot one, most- loving of you all, say Not a tear must; o'er her fall, He giveth His beloved sleep." The funeral services were solem nised Thursday afternoon from Grace Episcopal church, the church that has claimed her life-long devotion and all that was mortal was carried to the old Quaker cemetery, where her fore bears for many generations sleep, where the myrtle and ivy is ever greeft, and the mocking bird pours forth his songs in the night. There tQ peacefully rest until God's finger touches her and she awakes in the bright sunlight of a glorious .resur rection. "Oh Death, where is thy sting? Oh Grave, where is thy victory?" "For when her gentle spirit fled* To realms above the azure dome, With out-stretched arms God's angel said, Welcome to heaven's - home, sweet home."

The scene of that daring race with he elements has fired the imagina ions of generations, yet all these years it has practically gone un marked. Now, suitable parks are to be established at the approaches to -he bridge, which will be located be tween the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad bridges, about seven miles from Trenton. These parks will each take in many acres of ground, fronting on the river and an effort will be made to make them appeal and be available as rec reation centres. Proper landings will u) made for boats and the railroa^ will opan stations conveniently nqar. The bridge, it is estimated, will cost $800,000, New Jersey and Pennsylva nia to each contribute one-quarter of the sum, the balance to be taken are of by the National Treasury. . It will be composed of thirteen sec lions or arches, and each of the thir teen original states will have rfn arch dedicated to it for its share in the struggle for independence. The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE XLIV. ? UTAH . The a r s t white ex cursion Into \ Utah dates | back to 1540 when a party of Spaniards sent out . by Coronado succeeded in penetrat ing' to the Colorado river. There , is no authentic record of fur ther explorations until over 200 years had elapsed. In 1776 two Franciscan friars, in their at tempt to find the shortest way to the Pacific, went from Santa t Fe to Utah Lake. , The Great1 Salt Lake, however, was not discovered until 1824, when James Bridges, a trapper, in wandering through this region came upon this huge, Inland, salt sea. But the real history of Utah begins with the rise of Mormon power there. Discouraged by the agitation In Bllnols and Mis souri, the Mormons decided to emigrate to the great West. In large caravans they traveled across the plains and In 1847 came to Salt Lake City where they settled. Here they flour ished, increasing their number* and by 1852 they reached a total In this vicinity of over 15.000. Meanwhile, In 1848, by the terms of the treaty of peace with Mex ico, a huge western tract, of which Utah was a part; was reded to the United States. As no definite government wan ar ranged for, the control of affairs locally was for a number of years entirely In the hands of the olli cers of the Mormon church. They, accordingly, made up a constitution and organized un der the name of the State of Deseret This Is a word laken from the Book of Mormon, and signifies, "Industry." Application was made for admission to the Union, but this was refused and the federal government Instead organized the Territory of Utah In 1850. The first governor was Brigham Young, the successor of Joseph Smith and president of the Mormon church. The attempt to do away with polygamy met with little success unttl In 1890 the Mormon church Anally agreed not to countenance It. MeanWhlle, growing antag onism between the Mormons and non-Mormon* verged netrly on civil war. Finally a general amnesty was declared and after many requests Utah was ac cepted as the forty-fifth state of the r_/n!oo In 1896. <#krii?c*N? ???????? arotute) Plana are under way to have tho thirteen states make arrangement* to place their cot tit ojf amis on the* arfil ea assigned t?.? them and short a.o* counts of their part in the war that mad* f<& Right ?n(i 'lusii^o. -peccrtlber 25, HMJB, will be the 150th i^pive?sary of the Hattle of T re li on, which won success for the AmoriCfin army after its general led t ucross f hi' Delaware, and it is hoped he bridge and parks will be conVplet id and the dedication made tho cen 10 of the calibration.- which will take place. A National Washington Crossing Commission has been authorized. It will consist of fifteen members, five to be appointed by the president of the United States, and five each by tho governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The historic spot, in Revolutionary lays used as a ferry, was the connect - ng link between Trenton and Phila delphia. The Trenton chamber of jommerce is giving the plan for the bridge its heartiest support ami it is \aking a leading part in bringing it vO the attention of the people.

Cotton Seed Seeing* the need in this County of a better short staple cotton and a cotton that will mature earlier than the varie ties now planted I've purchased 1,000 bushels of the Salsbury planting* seed for distribution. These seed were grown on the largest cotton farm, in the world ? a 41.000 acre farm where the seasons are about two weeks later than our own. Therefore, cotton grown from these seed will mature earlier than if seed ' were grown in a warmer climate. This cotton is extra prolific and grows staple one and one-sixteenth inches in length which al ways bring's a good premium over the shorter lengths. As a money crop this cotton led all others on tests at the Mississippi Agricultural College. J. L. MOSELEY, Camden, S. C.
