MR. MURCHIHON'B TOMATOK8.
Hold Total Ontfrat of Throe Hundred
Cases.
Rev. and Mrs. H. R. Murchison
motored to Batesbnrg this week. On
their return Wednesday they stopped
In Columbia, where Mr. Murchi
son sold the whole output of his
tomato farm, which cons'sts of 800
coses, to s single d'stributor. Mr.
Murchison had little more than three
seres planted in tomatoes and irfatalled
on the farm a cannery,
wh'eh he kept busy for i (;veral
weeks. What thin energetic minister
* hns<lone "as a side line" and in an?
^ section of the state, the man
who lives all year round on the farm
could certainly do. It seems to us
that tomatoes might be raised more
generally on snch a scale with proflt
to the prodncer. /' I

remembered In Lancaster,
where he was principal of the Lan-|
caster high school for two sessions,
is back from Europe, whither he
went Inst year to study. The following
concerning him from The Sou tier:
School News of September w 11
be a matter of interest to his Lancaster
friends:
"Mr. , McDaniel was graduated
Trom Erkine College with the degree!
of A. R. in 1009. After his graduation
he was principal of the Lancas-i
ttr high scivol foi two years. From

English, but becoming very much
interested in the subject of philology

to stay two years. However,
when relations between this
country and Germany became strained

j MR8. JOHN A. WYETH DEAD.
Was Daughter of Dr. J. Marion
81ms.
The State of yesterday contained,
the following announcement, which
will be read with regret by those
Lancastrians who knew the deceased
and her distinguished father. Dr. J,
Marlon Sims, whose memory is so
revered in this, his native county:
"New York papers of recent date
announce the death of Mrs. Florence
Nightingale Wyeth, wife of Dr. John
A. Wyeth, of 244 Lexington avenue,
that city. Mrs. Wyeth was a daugh|
tor of the late Dr. James Sims. M. D.,
of South Carolina, who was worldfamous
fpr his knowledge of gvpe-1
rology and who at one time was Resident
of the American Medical Asso
elation. Dr. S'.ms was a graduate or
the University of South Carolina.
Mrs. Wyeth was 50 yearv of age at
the time of her death.".
Mrs. Wyeth was a woman of strong
I and very charming personality. Some
of our older citizens will doubtless
recall meeting her on the occasion of
a visit Which ahfe. her father and
mother made at the home o^ her
kinsman. ,

Written by a Loving Child.
As I sit this eve by my window, A :
And gaze at the sky above,
My thoughts turn back to mother..,.
To her tender, affectionate love. -|
I fancy this,day I can gee her, j
I hear her sweet voice of old;
When she said, "To God I have given
vmi
Not long till we'll meet above." | '
Ah. many times since she has left me '
Have I longed, but all in vain 1
For Just one sweet smile from mother
To drive away sorrow and pain,
And to you who have a mother.
Fill her pathway with sweetest ?
flowers that grow.
Prove to her that vou love her, .
As welt as tell her so.
