AFFAIRS OF INTEREST AT ANDREWS. TIVO SAD DEATHS -GOOD WORK OF ROAD BUILDERS?A SURPRISE PARTY-PERSONAL. Andrews, August 7: ?Our community was saddened Saturday afternoon bv news of the death of Mrs S J Avant. Mr and Mrs Avant were both from this neighborhood but had recently moved to Kingstree. She leaves an aped husband, several grown children and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her death. Mrs Avant was an estimable Christian lady. She was laid to rest at the family burying ground near their old home. A young Mr Etheridge died of typhoid fever in the Big Dam Swamp neighborhood last week. The unfortuate young man was a mute, j both deaf and dumb, but was quiet and intelligent, considering his affliction. Nearly every one who knew him was fond of talking to him by signs. The writer was presented with j waIamc 1 ocf nnp IWU Vtri V illlC IIICIUUO IUOI. nvv?, by my good friend and one of our best farmers, Mr E K McKnight, of West Andrews: also one weighing 42 pounds by our friend, Magistrate Crooks. Those two melons were of the finest quality I have . ever had the pleasure of eating. Mr Crooks and Mr McKnight are both successful farmers and big-hearted and good neighbors. Such, men make one happy to live by them. The writer made a flying trip to the State capital the past week, and was surprised at the awful damage by drought in and around Sumter. I saw fields of corn with not a green blade visible and large shade trees in the streets were dead from lack of moisture. In other sections I saw '< t fine crops, around Manning and Wedgefield especially. Sumter is i worse condition than we are here. Mr W T Evans, of the Feagin & Marshall Co, has left for his summer vacation and, with his family,is visiting his uncle,Mr William Evans.near Waycross, Ga. He will stop for a few days at the Isle of Palms. I understand that quite a number of our people contemplate taking in , ? the excursion to the mountains on the 16th inst. LeRoy Lee,Esq,was in town a few days ago on professional business. He was defending some young white v men who did not know their own stock and through carelessness saw fit to take and eat one of their, neighbor's cows. The county road builders are making good headway on the old Gapway road. They have the road worked near the Spring Gully bridges and it doesn't look like the same road after being graded and made perfectly straight. Let our people hold up the hands of Mr John M Eaddv and see if we don't have good roads all over our county. One of the delightful social events of the week was the surprise party at Mr and Mrs Bachman Doar's last Friday night. The merry crowd gathered about 8:30 p. m. and stayed until the clock chimed twelve. Oldfashioned games were played, and the songs and piano selections by Miss Ruth Isokreit were especially enjoyable. Those who enjoyed Mrs Doar's hospitality are: Misses Ulma Crooks, Ossie Camlin, Mamie Pipkin, Ruth Isokreit, Sue Bailey, Mrs Blanche Hughes; Messrs H W Medlin, Arthur Flowers, Frank Fulton, Dunum Herring, George Hanks, Drs J W Davis and T R Howie. SUBSCRIBER. Accused of Stealing.

This hip crop, if it conies.will be due entirely to the work of the farmers ' of the South. It is poinp to be worth a bip lot of money,too,and will brinp handsome profits to somebody. It is,of course, unreasonable to expect cotton to brinp as much per pound when there is a larpe crop as when there is a small one; but it is even more unreasonable for prices to be hammered down when a pood crop is made so that a larpe crop may ac- j tually brinp less money than a small I TV, ill*u nave vv ovu wwvv/u Mtiv* j He still has time to make sure of this; but he must act at once. (2) He can, if he will start, have hogs enough to kill so that he will not have to sell cotton and buy meat. (3) He can keep the garden going , and raise his own vegetables and; maybe a surplus. (4) He can take care of the poultry and the cows and make them a source of income. There are other thiftgs he can do to ( makehimself independentof hiscotton' cropjand every man who is able to hold j his cotton and market as he chooses can help to insure profitable prices ! for the crop, while every man who ! must sell is going to help depress the ! price. Acting together, farmers can agree upon a plan of marketing and j j keep the whole crop from being farced on the market at once. They can make arrangements with their ! local bankers for loans, if they need ready money in the fall. In many cases the farmers themselves can finance the cotton crop of their neighborhood by helping out with shorttime loans, secured by the cotton crop, those who would otherwise have to sell at once. They can keep negro tenants from rushing the whole crop on the market as soon as made, and this they must do if they would keep up prices. Every neighborhood which handles its crop in a business-like way will help to maintain prices ana will help to bring ( nearer the much-dreamed-of day of scientific marketing.?Raleigh (JVC) Progressive Farmer. $100 Reward, $100The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn i that there is at least one dreaded disease that sci- j ence has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

The men who buy cotton are going to do all they can to force the price as low j as possible. What are the farmers : going; to do about it? Tnis inquiry is likely to be met by another: What can they do about it? And often this question will be ask- j ed so as to imply that they can do nothing. This we do not believe.
