Craig-Rush Pays The Freight Death of Mrs. Rebtce; The death of Mrs. Rebecca Smith at her home near Salem was a sad sur prise to her many friends, as it was not generally known that her condition was serious until a few days before her death, which occurred at 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning, May 1st. She had been in declining health for about three years, but was able to be up and about her home until Thursday of last week, when her condition grew-serious and her children were all summoned to her bedside. Mrs. Smith was born and reared in Pickens county, and was a daughter of the late Elisha and Sarah Alexander. She was born on February 14, 1838, and was, therefore, 80 years two months and 16 days of age. In early girlhood she was happily married to the late W. N. Smith, of North Carolina, who preceded her to the grave some thirty years, leaving her with thirteen children, several of whom were very' small; but amid the weariness and cares of life, the trou bles, real and imaginary, of a family she always maihtained an atmosphere of cheerfulness, piety, truthfulness and generosity. She became a member of the Metho- 1 dist church and was a staunch member up to the time of her death. She was greatly beloved by all' who knew her, and many found great pleasure in vis iting her, cheering her in her suffering and receiving inspiration from the con stantly flowing evidences of patience, resignation and submission- to the dis pensations of Providence. Her whole life was a benediction to those with whom she came in contact, and in her death comes grief not alone to those nearest and dearest by reason of the ties of blood, but to all whose pleasure and privilege it had been to know her. She leaves to mourn her death thir teen children: W. E., F. H., J. L., R. E., A. C., and James Smith, Mrs. J. F. Alexander, Mrs. J. H. Wigington, Mrs. S. H. Collins, Mrs. Maggie Holden, and Mrs. Rosa Collins. . l of Ocor :e, Mrs. D. '. Alexander ;. I Mrs. D. D. Win chester, of Pickens ."ounty. She leaves seventy-one grand nildren and thirty one great-grandchidren. Of a large family of brothers and sisters she leaves one brother, Alfred Alexander, of Pickens county, and two sisters, Mrs. Laura Finley of Piedmont, and Mrs. Itobert Stewart of Pickens. She was buried the day following her death at Keowee Baptist church, Pick ens county. Rev. 13. F. Murphree con ducted funeral services, after which the remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband to await the resur rection. There are many precious thoughts connected with the resurrection of them that die in the Lord. We have often felt, in contemplating the reunion with loves, that we would not give up for this world the sweet assurance that when we meet this sainted mother and grandmother in the glory-land it will be the same one we loved on earth. But when we see her there it will not be as we saw her last. Her brow will not be dimmed with age; her head will not be silvered over with gray hairs; neither wvill her body be cold and lifeless in death, but arrayed with all the beauty, grace and glory of spiritual woman hood. She will meet and greet her loved ones with a long and loving wel come to the home of endless life. The bereaved family have the deep est symp~athy of their many friends in their dark hour of trouble. * Friends and Strangers pay the same We have but one price.

Hun ry World During Coming Winter. Columbia.-The sweet pomou will help in a large way to solve the prob lem of providing food-and, like the Irish potato, a food that will largely take the place of bread. In order that the best results may be obtained, the following Inforn tion on "Growing Sweet Potatoes in South Carolina" has been prepared by George P. Hoffman, extension horti culturist of Clemsoron College, at the request of the Food Administration for South Carolina: Growing Sweet Potatoes in South Carolina. There are few crops so well adapted to South Carolina condi3s5 that can be grown with equal sitecess and profit as can the sweet potato. This crop offers to the growers 4,ery advantage that is offered by other field or truck crops. Soil selectior:, prepaiamtion, fertiliz ing, careful fitting and planting, an( cultivating are the essentials of suc cess in the growing of a crop of sweet potatoes. Sol:-The sweet potato adapts it self to a great diversity of soil, but 1i delights in and thrives best on a well drained sandy or clay loam soil un derlaid with a clay subsoil. Regard less of the apparent ideal physical condition of the soil, this crop must be rotated each year. Sweet potatoes may follow corn; cotton, small grain and leguminous cover crops. This crop may be easily and effectively worked into any well balanced three year rotative system. Preparation of Soil:-The soil may be thoroughly and deeply prepared by turning twice to a depth of 6 to 8 inches followed by cross discing. Crooked and irrew;ular formed roots result from preparatory shallow prep aration of the soil. Therefore, deep and thorough preparation is very es sential in the growing of marketable potatoes. Fertilizers: - Both barnyard and commercial fertilizers are recommend ed, but the former must be judiciously used. Under the present potash short age conditions, that element of plant food most needed in excess, liberal ap plications of barnyard manure will be found to be very effective in supple menting this shortage, and correcting the physical condition of the soil. The fertility and physical condition of the soil should determine the extent of the applications, which should not be in excess of the needs. Ordinarily, both commercial fertilizers and barn yard manures are applied in the drill when the soil is being fitted for set ting the plants, and as a side dresser Fitting the Soil and Setting the Plants:-Preparatory to setting the plants, which should be from May let to July 15th, lay off rows 3% to 4 feet apart and apply the barnyard or corn mercial fertilizers i-n the drill and thoroughly mix with the soil. Plant ing beds of medium height, depending upon drainage, should be thrown up and dragged dIown, and the plants or vine-cuttings Ret 14 to 18 inehes apart. Correcting the packed condition of the soil brought about through the tiansplanting process, immediately following the setting of the plants, the water furrows should be harrowed or otherwise shallow cultivated. . For late plantings, the cine leaf, 8 to 10 inch vine cuttings are more desira ble than are the plants, this being es pecially true in the growing of seed stock. Varieties:-The Nancy Hall. Porto Rico. and Triumph are the leading a'nd moat popular varieties grown in this State. The Triumph is one of the earliest varieties, and should be plant. ed when potatoes are grown for early market. Culvation:-Frequent and shallow cultivation should be practiced until the vines have covered the ground, (during which period the greatest of care must be exercised in the turning of the vines. At the first cultivation, which consists of a careful hoeing and siding with a broad furrow, a side dlressing of cottonseed meal should be applied, at the rate of one-half ton per acre, and thoroughly mixed with the soil. The Orangeburg sweep or heel bow and shovel will be found to be very effective in cultivating this crop.
