The latest implements of mod ern warfare are armored automo biles. They are being used by the Russians in Manchuria, where bo railroads are available. Look around you and see if it is notafact that the farmers who raise their bread and moat at borne have the best credit and the most cash money after alL debts are .paid than do thoee Who grow all cotton. After experimenting for a Dum ber of years a western horticultur ist has succeeded in perfecting a s?edl?ss apple. Now, if anybody wishes to become a grpater bene factor than this fruit grower lot him by series of evolutions, or in '?? Borne other way, bring into exis tence a boneless fish. .What was said in these columns last week in advocacy of the can didacy of Judge W. F. Roath has met witha-heartyreepoDse. Many persons have echoed and re-echoed the sentiment and desire express ed therein. There is now nothing; lieft for Judge Roath to do but lo ?re-consider the statement he made when elected before und become a candidate to succeed himself. ?Vv .We do uot now recall the exact circumstances under which Shake spearo penned those immortal WOKIB, "What fools these mortals be!" We rather think, however, if h?Awere living now, and could ob serve the farmers of this section paying |200 for mules that, they could have raised for less than $100, and then buyiDg rotten corn to Mil them with when they could raise sound corn to ^preserve them that this would be an occasion for ?him to pen the same wordB again. lfin?nlj? iJno, yotjalp--rr ill-o u io o ol arr - cpnie tb their senses, raise their :owh stock;, and the food to feed them on.-Winnsboro Herald. ? 5^ JAMES A. MCMANUS. -, m i ft .On the morning of the 3rd day of-April 1904. James A. McMa nuB departed this life in the eigh ty-sixth year of his age. He was born and raised in old Edgefield County, and spent bis entire long and useful life, in the Sleepy Creek section of said coun ty. He was laid to rest, by the side cf his devoted wife, in tho ceme tery at McKendree, in the presence of his large family, and a vase concourse of his neighbors and friends, by whom he was highly esteemed, on account of his joyous and happy disposition, and the many .fine traite of mind and heart, which distinguished him in'Hfe. / He is survived by three sons, four daughthers, forty-two grand children, and thirty-one great grand-children, to all pf whom he wae'eyer affectionate and devoted. He was a good man, a loyal citi zen, a kindly and big-hearted neighbor, ever ready and willing td help and sympathize with the > unfortunate. He died as he had lived, a con sistant member of the Methodist chuich. ?Por the last eight years of his "life he was afflicted with total blindness, but through all this sad affliction, he was never known to murmur or complain; he seemed to recognize, as did Job-"That the hand of the Lord hath wrought this." . .He tried to merge his will into that of the Lord; he did not cavil at this sad providence, but sub mitted passively to this decree ; he;was willing to^ drink the bitter as well as the sweet, knowing that the cup was prepared by his Heavenly Father, who loves his people too well to add one ingre dient that might hs ve been spared. He did not complaiu at this pre scription of tho Heavenly Physi cian because it was bitter, he looked.on it iu faith as being for bis good. He did not question the love of his Father or dishonor hi? faithfulness by supposing that there was a needless or un necessary drop in the cup, which his loving wisdom had mingled. "Even so, Father, for so it seems good in thy sight. Not my will, - but thine be doue." Thus was our brother and friend chastened through suffering; as a shock of corn, fully ripe, well ma tured, was he gathered to his Father. On the bright Easter morn when all nature was bright and joyous, in the many emblems and reminders of the bright resur rection morn, on the anniversary of the greatest and most impor tant event known to man, when the sting of death was removed, and _the ^victory over the grave {was won a: tbis glad season, "with these bright surroundings was our friend and brother called home. He was cheerful in life, patient 'iu euffering, and submissive in death. Ho knew in vihoin he had be lieved, and could well say, ''Father into thy hands I commend my spirit." "The sung; of death is sin, but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jefus Christ." A FKIEND Cold Spring. Dear Advertiser: As I have seen nothing from this ueck of the woods in some time will write you a few'dots while I am restiLg. Grain ia leokiDg much better than we had hoped for and we think the crop will be fairly good. We are busy preparing for cot ton but we are going to stick to the hog aud hominy if cottou goes to one dollar per pound. We can make our corn in the same time it takes to haul it if it were given to us. Make plenty of corn, sorg hum, p^as and pay, aud then all the cotton we can. .Pete aud I have talked the situation over and "them's our sentiments." Mrs. Lucy Burnett, has been sick for some time. We hope for her a speedy recovery. We have been scared of small pox, but that is about over. We trust the fruit e< caped tues day morning's front. Mr. Tom Brown has made won derful improvmeut on the old Red Hil' farm. We need a few more go ahead farmers. We have a widower who is buy ing horses, carts, buggies, furniture etc. What does it all mean? "School boy" is to help old "Sol", make his crop this year, don't you kn JW we will make things lively. Sol. JOHNSTON. JOHNSTON, S. C., ) April 12, 1904. \ Correspondence to the ADVERTISER. The sad news of the "death of Mrs..Jarres Mobley on Friday moruiug in Columbia, brought sorrow to many hearts. Beautiful Ida Warren had many friends, be nig lovely in person as well aa character, and while her death was expected it came as a shock, lor we were loath to part with her. Herremaius were placad beside the loved ones, who had gone be fore, satu'day afternoon. The hum of Mr. James Johnsons plaining machine is heard daily. The fire of a few weeks ago only caused a short cessation of viork. AU four Congressional candi dates, Messrs. Williams, May-? field Patterson, and Croft visited Johnston and spoke in our school auditorium on Wednesday even ing. The audience was not as large as it would have been had it been generally known that they would be here. However^a_ gojctdly. J?**?a?^'urneirrire8T_n8^euers greet ed them. Mrs. Ella Bland has returned from a plea9aut visit to Ridgeway and SaliBDurg, N. C. Mrs. James Hart, of Edgefield, visited the homo folks here last Sunday. Aft'r three months of interest ing work. Mrs. C. ^F. Pechman closed her embroideiy class, and our ladies are very busy now with spring sewing. New spring suits beautify the person of our young debutantes, notwithstanding the chilly zephyrs that force many to retain their heavier garb. A slight frost last we./k, very partial in its destruction, visited a few gardens in our section and left its devastating touch on ear ly beans and tomatoes. Miss Hunter D. Lott will leave Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday the 12th inst and spend one night with friends in Atlanta, and Au gusta and reach here on the 15th. Mrs. A. P.. Lott lost quite a largo number of her fine buff Plymoth Rocks before she discovered the thief. A cat devoured them. Mrs. J. WI Sawyer also killed a cat eating the eleventh chick. Quite a lot of asparagus is be ing shipped, and it ia bringing very good pricefe. RESOLUTIONS, As to the Congressional Candidacy of L. J. Williams.
