Pret tier than any we have ever had be fore. Ramsey & Jones. Tribute to Mrs. Charles F. This beautiful woman, devoted Christian, and gracious and loyal friend-the friend in good works, has left us. It is said that the most lasting and the most loyal friend ships are those relationships which came by laboring together in a no ble cause. This was the test of friendship whioh she knew how to [manifest. She did not desert in the time of need. Although she was so bright and happy and much sought after for her good cheer and. unselfishness, she muBt have borne many a burden for the works sake. Every one does who works as she did. Her heart was in every phase of the Master's service, and she was intelligent and broad in her views, and so magnan imous. I do not know whether everybody understood her or not. Such souls are rarely understood. She was'Tn tune with the Infinite," and therefore not always an open book to the discordant notes of this world. All ber life she had been the idol of her home. The only daughter and such an attractive one, it was a well known fact that she was the centre of a circle who loved and admired and lived for her. There are left the mother and fath er and her devoted husband whom she always spoke so affectionately of as "Charlie" and when she Baid it we knew that she was necessary to his happiness. She qaoted what he said often as if every word was very dear to her. One beautiful daughter is left to mourn for this sweet companion of her youth, fori they were both young. For many years Bessie Pechmann has been known throughout our county, not only for her personal charm, and goodness, and christian character, but for her sound judg ment, her taste and skill in many ways. She was sought for many services as one capable, willing, self-sacrificing and for which her name will never die. On the sad occasion when the last tributes were being paid to her mem ory, Mr??. White of Johnston who was her friend and neighbor and comrade in loving service stood over her last resting place and de livered a sweet and tender mes?age to the friends around, telling them of the love and devotion to John ston and her interests manifested and expressed by this loving heart, saying she had told her often that she prayed for many of thtm by name. At the grave there were many, many who stood there grief stricken or saddened or thoughtful -but there was no dark and dismal grave-there was nothing to shock the sensitive grief in placing the beautiful form in the uosora of Mother Earth. What we saw was pure white casket covered with floral tributes, and under and around a mass of beautiful and graceful flowers, concealing the earth from view-and there thus surrounded, in the embrace of Mother Earth who is kind and will take care of the precious trust till God re-unites it to the soul, lie.- the earthly form of our friend, her soul ecstatic in that glorious world for which we all sigh. She bore the burden and heat of the day and counted her life as nothing. She was one of those spirits of which the world is not worthy, but by her living she has made them more worthy. We shall see her"Over There," when our little Bpan of time has merged into eter nity. Till then farewell! Perhaps the meeting is nearer than we think.

Penn &> Holstein. A BIG SUCCESS. Conference for Common Good Believed to be Biggest Movement Ever Launch ed in South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 8.-"Great er results were obtained from the conference than any other move ment ever launched in South Caro lina," said W. K. Tate, state super visor of rural elementary schools and chairman of the Conference for Common ..Good. The conference, which marked an ep?ch in the development of this state, came to a close last night af ter deciding upon a definite pro gram of progress for all the people. The conference was entirely free from politics, and the workers here came to aid all of their people and not any one political faction. In fact, one of the main purpose of the conference was to do away with bitter political feeling among vh'e people of South Carolina and es tablish a closer feeling. Co-opera tion of humanity for humanity was the keynote. The movement has been set go ing and will enlarge as the years go by. The groundwork has been laid, and now it is up to the people to build well for the future. The state-wide conference has been held and now the plans for rebuilding the state wili be carried to the in dividuals in the various counties. Within the next several days plans will be outlined for the county meetings. All of the people will be invited to join in these and have a heart-to-heart talk of their needs. About 300 attended the confer ence during the two days. Every minute was busy. The speeches were excellent, short, full of good advice, and all looking to the de velopment of South Carolina along the various lines. The speakers are to be congratulated for their work in'preparing these speeches. They all showed careful study arid ear nest investigation of the subjects presented. The conference was notable; It was the first of its kind to be held in the United States, and it is very probable that the idea will be taken lip and used to advantage in other sections. Reproduced From Greenwood Journal. "Mauldin & Chapman, contrac tors for the Bailey Military Insti tute, have completed their work. The record made in erecting these two buildings will be of interest to the people of Greenwood, showing, as it does, the hustling Greenwood spirit. Actual work on the two structures was begun on April 3rd, and the contractors were to finish the job August 20th. They have completed it on August 5th, thus showing that they were engaged in the work practically four months. Counting the number of days, it will be seen that the Institute build ings were completed in every detail in exactly 76 days. Damage by two windstorms delayed the contractors 27 days and there were 18 Sundays in the four months, thiii making the actual workiug time 79 days. "When the Bewerage system is installed the buildings will be ready for occupancy. This work is to be done by the city and was not in cluded in the contract to Mauldin & Chapman. As already staled. Mayor Marshall hopes to have all the sewerage connections made by September 1st. This will give the faculty plenty of time to make all preparations for the opening of the achoo), September 25th." The prospects are all that could be desired. Applications a,re com ing-in rapidly and the indications are that the barracks will be taxed to their capacity. The work of gra ding the grounds and clearing away the working material from the buildings is being puBhed with all possible epeed. H. H. S. Fulghum Oats For Sale.
