Yale, Brother Carson
Mr. Ira C. Carson, the gifted ard
popular editor of the Johnston
News, has lain down his pen for
other and more profitable pursuits.
It required but a short time for
him to learn that the life of a coun
try editor, like that of Mr. Man
tilini, is one "demd horrid grind",
for which he receives but little
compensation and less apprecia
tion. The newspaper fraternity
was loath to give up this brother,
but believing that in our ranks ho
would not have grown in this
world's goods nor in the next
world's grace we bid him God speed
in his new field. Having said
adieu to Mr. Carson we welcome
his worthy successor, Mr. William
Toney, into the craft and trust that
his pillow will not be so hard as
those of many "pencil pushers."
ELMWOOD.
Editor ADVERTISER: The weath
er for the past few clays has beeu
cool and windy, aud very unfavor
able to plant growth. The greater
portion of the area set apart for
cotton has Leen planted.
The grain crop is not looking
well. Unfavorable weather, chinch
bugs and other insects are causing
it to look pale, reddish and un
healthy.
No corn has ap yet been planted.
Tba destructive chinch bugs have
played havoc with wheat and corn
here for the last few years. Not
more than one farmer in a dozen
has beeu able to produce sufficient
com for borne consumption on ac
count of them.
The health of this community
is comparatively good.
Labor is very 6carce and unre
liable.
Couutiy people cannot under
stand why the laws of the towns
are so lax as to permit so many
able-bodied negroes to loaf and loi
ter on their streets-a menace to
the towns and a detriment to the
country. Most of the towns are
dependent upon the farmp for their
existence, and the timi has now ar
rived when they must lend a help
ing hand in the manner above
mentioned, or sustain a serious
Joss. O.
Elmwood, April 27,1903.
Dear ADVERTISER: The com
mencement exercises of the Parks
ville High school wil begin May
14th. The programme has not
yet been published but the princi
pal informs me that the first ad
dress is to be delivered by Dr. D.
A. J. Bell; subject, "Education
and good Citizenship". The sec
ond by Rev. J. T. Miller; subject,
"Education and Religion". The
third by Col. W. J. Talbert; sub
ject,wEducation and Government",
after which will come the address
of the day, by Col. M. F. Ansel,
his subject being "Upward and
Onward".
The entertainment for that night
will consist of charades, tableaux,
etc. We cordially invite you, Mr.
Editor, to be present and we will
?how you how Parksville enter
tains.
Our town was saddened by the
death of Mrs. Mary E. Middleton,
who has made her home for the
pa?t eight years with her daugh
ter, Mrs. D. A. J. Bell. Mrs. Mid
dbton was paralyzed fifteen years
ago by a fall and had been almost
continualy confined to her bed ever
since. She was a patient sufferer
-?-never complained, and was al
ways cheerful. She ?had learned
the lessons of self-control, and Bet
an example of amiability, self
\ control and patience which is wor
thy of emulation. Rev. J. T. Mil- (
1er prayed at her funeral that the
mantle of ber beautiful Christian
character might fall upon her chil
dren and grand children. She
leaves four children,viz : Mrs. Mat
tie Rich, Mr. P. C. Middleton,Mrs.
L, G. Bell and Mrs. D. A. J. Bell.
She was buried by the side of her
husband at the residence of Mrs. R.
H. Middleton, at Clark's Hill,Rev.
J. T. Litilejohn conducting the fu
neral services.
The Methodists have been car
rying ou a meetiug now for about
ten days, and although no one has
a8*yet united with the church, still
great interest is being taken. Rev.
W. P. Yarborough, the travelling
evangelist and street preacher, is
doing the preaching. He is
certainly a very earnest, conie
ciated man and we feel already
that his coming has done a great
deal of good. He is accompanied
by his wife who aids by playing
the organ and siDging.
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn has been
on the sick list, but is, I am glad
to state, batter now.
Dr. J. A. Dobey has been off on
a visit to Aiken and other places,
but he bas returned home now for
a short while. We hear that he is
soon to leave us and make Edge
field his home.
Mrs. W. J. Talbert is sick, but
we hope she will soon be better.
SCHOOL BOY.
PLEASANT LANE.
WRITTEN FOR LA9T WEEK.
Asl sit and listen to th6 iing
iugofthe merry little birds and
the shrill notes of the plow boy'a
some voice seems to whisper and
remind me that it is time I must
write to the dear old ADVERTISER
again.
The farmers are somewhat back
ward in their farming, on account
of the recent rains, but I think it
is well they are since we ar<3 have
ing so much cold weather. Very
few around here have planted any
cotton at all. Oats aie looking
pretty, wheat is ruined by the
"rust"
Charming .Miss Belle Harting is
visiting her sister (Mrs. Deal) in
the Bethany section.
The people of Berea were very
much pleased with Prof. Coksr's
talk last first Sunday. Hope he
will visit us again.
The remains of Mrs. Llewellyn
Boone were laid to rest among the
spreading oaks of Berea church on
last Sunday morning at ll o'clock.
Mrs. Boone, wethink, was about
73 years old. She leaves a devot
ed husband, four daughters and
three sons to mourn her loss. Our
heartfelt spmpathy is extended to
song this lovely spriDg morning,
the bereaved ones.
We have again organized a Sun
day school at Berea and I truly
hope all the young people will take
more interest in it thau they did
hpre-to-fore, and we can keep it
up through the summer month?.
I think the young mon think too
much about going to se? their
"best girl." I waB after some of
them the other day and one said,
"0 I have joined another school"
.'No name, no blame." Why did
he join that Sunday school," Mr.
Editor; I. say it was because his
"beet girl" goes there.
Miss Bessie Padgett has returned
home after a pleasant visit at
Johnston and Edgefield.
Orange blossoms in the Moun
tain Creek section next Wednes
day eveuiug,
Mr. J. P. Timmerraau h??8 been
on the sick list for several days but
is able to be out again.
Miss May Cothrau has returned
home from Troy, wnere she his
been atteuding school for several
months past.
"AMICUS".
Death of a Johnston Citizen
Again death has claimed another
memb r of the greatly honored and
once very large Bland family.
Mr. Stanford Bland, the last vic
tim of the Great Destroyer, passed
away at the home of bis sister at
Vidalia, Ga., on Friday last. He
had been iu failing health for se
veral years aud the end was not a
surprise to his loved ones. This
good citizen, kind neighbor and
affectionate father will be seen on
earth no more. His gentle wife
preceded him by several years.
The deceased is survived by two
sisters, one brother and three bright
little children. The remains were
intersed in the cemetery at Johns
ton on Saturday last.
The dance given by the
Cotillion club in the opera
house on Friday evening last
who attended to be the most
delightful one that has been
given in many months.

There is scarcely a man who, in his imagination, can not
see the billowy ?aves of the goldeu harvest field and the
name of his favorite binder as it moves through the yellow
jrrain. The name on the binder flag is important. It should
be a name that stands tor something tangible-a name that
thatha6 stood the test of time-that has triumphed iu every
grain field-that has alway? represented the bignest attain
ment in the manufacture of harvesting machines-that sat
