We are compelled to discontin ue the paper at the date of expiration of every subscription. Absolutely no exception is made of anyone. The government has made us discontinue the old way and enforce the paid-in advance system. We find that a vast majority of our subscribers like thc new way better. Mass Meeting Called. A mass meeting will be held in the court house Saturday morning look-; ing to making plans for the curtail ment of the cotton acreage. Those j who are in New Orleans attending the cotton conference will report in person the result of the conference. This meeting Saturday should be at tended not by the farmers only, but by bankers, lawyers, doctors, mer chants and business men generally. Farmers are not the only class who are interested in holding up the price of cotton. Every business and pro fession are as vitally affected. We must make a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together, if we expect to win this fight. Another Naval Hero Returned. One of Edgefield's most popular and beloved sons, J. H. Carmichael, came over for the week-end and was the guest of Julian Strother. Ham mond was one of the first naval vol unteers and served on the U. S. S. Nashville which cruised in the Med itteranean, on the coasts of Spain and Africa and back and forth on the High Seas.

After a lingering illness which ex tended over several years. Mr. M. S. ?Walker died at his home six miles northwest of Edgefield, Thursday night. He had been confined to his bed for nearly two years. Mr. Walker was in his 8S th year at the time of his death. While he did not mingle with the outside world, Mr. Walker was a great reader and was weJJ in formed upon the leading topics of the day and could converse very in terestingly upon such matters when his friends called to see him. Mr. Walker's life was one of almost en tire seclusion, having visited Edge field but twice since the Civil War. He possessed remarkable business ability and managed his farming in terests very successfully, especially in the active years of his life. Mr. Walker is survived by an only brother, Mr. Herbert Walker, who resided with him. The interment took place in the family burying ground at the Talbert place. Church Debt to be Paid. Rev. Robert G. Lee issues a church calendar every week in which he not only announces the services for the week but keeps the members of his congregation informed upon every phase of the church life and activi ties. The weekly calendars have .prov en to be a great stimulus to the work of the church. In the calendar of last ? Sunday, Mr. Lee announced that,, next Sunday an effort will be made ' to raise sufficient money to pay off ? the debt on the church building. He-j preached a very earnest sermon Sun- j day morning bearing upon the special |, undertaking, which greatly increased ,' the enthusiasm and interest in the, movement. A full attendance of the membership of the church is desired next Sunday. The debt on the church must be paid oif and then soon there after thc building can be dedicated, to thc service of God. Although the \' building has been completed four . years or more, it, has never been ded- y icated because of the debt hanging ,.v; r H. It ought to be raised in full | Tiext Sunday. , Death of Mr. J. G. Byrd. Although not unexpected, because ? of the sc-rjous illness of the past two weeks, the death of Mr. J. G. Byrd which occurred at his home near Bc rea, Wednesday, caused much gen uine sorrow in Edgefield. Not only have his frequent visits to Edgefield during practically all his life caused him to have scores and hundreds of friends, but during the two terms he served as public cotton weigher at | this place he was brought into very intimate relations with our people and the more they saw and knew of him the more he became endeared to them. Mr. Byrd was quiet and unob trusive in his manner yet he never failed to impress favorably the people with whom he came in contact, be cause of his high sense of honor and his rectitude of character. Mr. Byrd was in his 58th year at the time of his death and all of his j life lie had lived in the same commu- j nity. He was held in the highest es- j teem and his demise leaves a large j vacant place in the community left. He was generous anti public-spirited, always willing to do his part in every ? thing that was undertaken for the . public welfare. During the war just j closed. Mr. Byrd was 100 per cent, loyal and patriotic, willingly giving ; un his eldest son, William, to go to ; the front. Mr. Byrd was a Mason and was buried with Masonic honors. The funeral was held at Gilgal church Thursday afternoon, being conducted by his pastor, Rev. P. ?B. Lanham. Mr. Byrd is survived by his wife and the following children to mourn his loss: William J.; Mrs. Ollie Grif as, Mrs. Joseph Cartledge, Oswald, Osie, Holloway, Hammond, Ellie Ed na and Warren. For the Children. Too much care cannot be exercised in selecting a cough medicine for children. It should be pleasant to take, contain no harmful drug and most effectual in curing their coughs and colds. Long experience has shown that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets these conditions. It is a fa vorite with many mothers. Death of Much Beloved Con federate Soldier. Edgefield county lost one of its ?best citizens last week when Mr. Si las Y once, familiarly known as "Un cle Silas," died in Charleston. Ac companied by his physician, Dr. Stone and his son, Mr. Wilbur Yonce, Mr. Yonce went to Charleston Tues day of last week to have his foot treated by a specialist. . After Mr. Wilbur took his father up to his room at the hotel Tuesday night, he and Dr. Stone went out in the city to visit the brother of the latter, and on re turning to the hotel they found that Mr. Silas Yonce was in a dying con dition, having beep gassed'. It seems that Mr. Yonce turned the gas on the heater in the room and failed to light it or extinguish the flames of the gas heater without fully turning off the gas. He was suffocated by the escap ing gas in the room. The odor of gas was detected in the building by the manager just before Mr. Wilbur Yonce returned to the hotel and up on investigation it was found to be in the room of Mr. Yonce. Life was al most extinct when his room was en tered. Every possible effort was made to revive him but he was discovered too late for any human effort to save him. The announcement of his death caused much genuine sorrow among his friends in Edgefield and wherever he was known in the county. Mr. Yonce was in his S5th year and for more than forty years he was ah elder in Mt. Calvary church. He was the incarnation of all that was true and honorable and upright. No man in thc county, particularly in the eastern part of the county, wielded | a wider and more wholesome influ ence than "Uncle Silas" Yonce. Truly a good man has gone to his reward. He served for four years in the Confederate army, rendering faith ful and gallant service for his coun try. Mr. Yonce died about four o'clock Wednesday morning and his body reached Johnston Wednesday night. Thursday afternoon the funeral and interment took place at Mt. Calvary church, the funeral being conducted by Rev. J. II. Kinard. He.is survived by his beloved wife ind three children, Mr. E. L. Yonce,1 Mrs. Arthur Herin and Mr. J. Wilbur, y once. .
