Tribute to James Frank S How near akin to conditions d' the War between the States, ar never-to-be forgotten four yeai [the World War, only the fast ling line of our dear boys in an fully testify from our sectic aese United States, and next to i fullness of appreciation, in d f honor and respect from aughters of the Confederacy, a sten to renewal of tales of 'imes by the dear Veterans, as tudy conditions from them, trive to learn from them how b< o serve this present age. Daughters have been for many y already keenly awake to the privi of serving with demand those serve their country, of allevia their suffering, of being in a posi to love them for their gift of Iii kerve the cause of Liberty loving manity. For these reasons we tribute with bowed head and revel leart to James Frank Scott. Enough has been said of his < birthplace, early serving his Mas nany details of his life are knowi ll in this audience, it is the det f the writer to speak of the more imate things of his disposition i haracter, the disposition and chai ;r that made him loved by all foi ate enough to know him well and ssociated with him. He w?nt to 2rvice of his country gladly, brav< ispired by the lofty Ide?is of mak he world safe for Democracy, ? omocracy safe for the world, glad ive his all, if needs must be. It was the great privilege of t riter to sit with James Fit cott's honored father a few d; io and see the proud flash of yes, hear the ring in his voice as joke of this well-beloved son, to llowed to read some of his letters lis mother, father and sister, to { pis intimate insight into the heart Hie of our bravest and finest who < listed in this War. No man coi nrrite the letters he did and not. ht ran and brother to cause hearts ^rell with pride in such a one. M [ quote him, listen reverently, ipeaks from the dead who die in t Lord, "You have been such a go Mother to me, you have done yo whole duty, you are a lover of hon [ am thankful to God for such a mo sr as you and the way in which y ?rought me up. My training lome has helped me so much in t rmy, I could not do some thin rhen I think of you all. I know thi rould reflect upon you and my si ers. I pray God to let me return ou so that I can show my appreci bon of you more than ever before Dh, mothers who hear thia, cou TOUT boy say as much of you? G< rrant it. What a blessed mother h s-she has lost him a while, but o y a little while, and they will sure >e reunited for eternity, and can ye )icture the joy of that meeting? He wrote most affectionately to h 'ather, saying what a dear father 1 iras, that he would never forget thi ?ather had always tried to lead hi: right. If only all our boys could t afe following in their father's foo teps as this one did. What a hapt ather this is. To his sister he sai< Sister, I am proud to claim you ? ?y sister. You have been a chum an true sister to me, one among te lousand, there are few girls in Geoi ia who have the high ideals yo ave. Continue to be brave and tru trough this war. I am thankful fe Christian father and mother, sister nd brothers." How the heart of eve stranger thrills to read these word rom the loyal heart that is still fo his life, what a privilege for that sh er to have been such a sister to hir hat he could say this to her. Go ?less her and all his family that thes nings are true of them. If our cour ;ry were filled with souls exactly lik ;heirs we would not have to praj 'Thy Kingdom- Come," it would b ?ere already. Many pages might be written fill id with the beautiful things thi American soldier said and did, bu rhat has been said gives some smal isight into his heart and life as h lid it bare to his loved ones, and ave ventured to quote him that hi ?ample might be before you, tha au might be inspired with a desir > live such a life, to live close ti is God, who is ours as well, a lifi f trust and faith and service. Thesi lings are what endears him to thi earts of the loyal Daughters of thi bnfederacy, that he walked in th? ootsteps of his father many year go, that he lived by faith and trus i God as they did, and that the vic >ry is his, the victory of a clean |;autiful life here and eternal glor; the place prepared for God's peo e. His monument is his life as live< the lives of his loved ones and thi tizens and his country. This seem so little and poorly said e is worthy of a finer, higher trib ;e, but it comes from the heart o: ie who knows and values lives sud his, and counts it a privilege to b< . t A Problem to Consider. It is a fact that no class of people in America to-day are independent of of every other class. Farmers could be more nearly independent than any other class of people in this country, but many of them lack a great deal of being independent. Farmers sell very little among themselves; they buy very little from their neighbors. They use the cities and towns as clearing houses to con vert their products into cash to be used in supplying their wants. This is not all. Many attend church in town and are members of fraternal and civic organizations in cities and towns. Our economic and social life has made cities and towns necessary for successful farming and progressive citizenship. For this reason land val ues near c'ties and towns have ad vanced enormously, whereas farms in remote and rural districts not con nected with urban centers by good roads have not increased in value to any considerable extent. There is a mutual interest among city people and country people. City i consumers need the products of :? e , farm ; farmers need the markets of the cities and towns. All need eco nomical production and economical marketing. If the farm'er's dollar is to keep people from starving and enable in- ? dustries to meet the needs of peace,1 it must have a chance to buy a dol-1 lar's worth of services. The city man's responsibilities in making this possi-, ble is no less binding than the farm- j er's. This is a problem for all the peo-1 pie and one the nation might well consider.-Farm and Ranch. Keep up Roads. Every farmer should feel his de-( pendence upon good roads. Whether I or not one lives on a public highway ? he should take an interest in the J nearest one to his farm or the road , he must use to market his farm, or chard and garden products. There are many times when a day's work can be spared on the road. Aft er heavy rains the road may need certain repairs or improvements when 1 the overseer is not ready to call out the hands. Why not individual farm ers donate a day's work on the road at such times? By. keeping a road drag and drag-1 ging the ro:ad along one's land after heavy rains the road may be greatly improved. It is an easy matter to have an agreement so each farmer will drag the road in front of his farm. This would maintain the road till the regular hands could be called - out at stated intervals or till the com missioner could make the necessary repairs. The time has come when we must consider the roads an asset, indis pensable to the well-being of the farmer and his family. This being true, is it not every man's duty to do all 'ie can to keep the roads in good condition? The individual as well as the county is responsible.-Farm and Ranch. About Rheumatism. People are learning that it is only a waste of time and money to take medicine internally for chronic and muscular rheumatism, and about ninety-nine out of a hundred cases are one or the other of these varie ties. All that is really necessary to af ford relief is to apply Chamberlain's Liniment freely. Try it. It costs but 35 cents per bottle. Large size 60 cents.

C. Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston in Edgefield. Sunday evening in the Baptist church Mrs. Deborah Livingston of Providence, R. L, addressed perhaps the largest congregation ever assem bled for an evening service in the Baptist church. Her coming had been largely advertised and everybody de sired to be present to enjoy the occa sion. Many persons interested in the great cause of temperance and pro hibition from the surrounding coun try were present. Rev. Mr. Lee, pastor of the church presided over the service and intro duced Mrs. Livingstone, saying that she was a descendant of John Knox of Scotland who said "Give me Scot land or I die." Little Margaret Lyon sang very sweetly, "In the Garden" with piano accompaniment by her sister, Miss Gladys Lyon. Mitchell Wells gave his gold medal winning seelction, "The Challenge of Patriotism," and under the inspira tion of the large and sympathetic audience, he surpassed any bf his former efforts, as good as they have been. ' . The Jubilee song was given by a chorus and the double quartette sang "There will dawn a golden mor row by and by." Mrs. Livingston's address was well received as she discussed the alcohol question from many viewpoints. She is charming on the platform or in private conversation being a wo man of broad culture and travel, and of wonderful mind and heart. The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union has many women of sim ilar attainments throughout the na tion and the world, which accounts largely for the mysterious elimina tion of the drink habit in our nation. Mrs. Livingston was the guest cf Mrs. Tillman while in Edgefield. County W. C. T. U. Meeting at Johnston on Monday. An all day conference was held on Monday at Johnston in the interests of the W. C.

BYRD. nsisFiii RALLY IO TI FLAG PROM ONE END OF COUNTRY TO THE OTHER THEY WILL GATH ER UNDER BANNER OF CROSS IN CAMPAIGN, MAY 18-25. Methodists of the South will unite May 18-25 In conducting the greatest denominational campaign ever under taken in the history of the world. Dur ing the week every member of the church will rally to the flag of the cross through the call of Methodism and given of their time, energy and pocketbooks to the taising of a fund of $35,000,000. Every dollar of the money raised will be spent in mission ary work, both at homeland abroad, tea million being turned back into the upbuilding, of churches, schools and hospitals in the South. A large part of this sum will go towards increasing the salaries of the ministers of the ru ral churches, particularly those who have been working against great diffi culties in the matter of taking care of circuits containing a number of churches. The Centenary movement of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, not only means increased salaries for the pastors in the rural districts but also the establishment of mission schools in many inaccessible and needy communities of the country. Es pecial effort will be made to awaken the laymen of th? church everywhere so that in those churches where a mia ister cannot preach every Sunday, there will be a service Just the same. Because of the loyalty which Metho dists everywhere have towards their church it is believed that, even though $35,000,000 la a large sum, it will be raised. We have receive with seventy-five goods. It was sei ular price if we cc to keep them and for next Saturday $9.50; $10.50 and : every one of then and $37.50 in Geo: tif ul range of cole are for cash only.

To The Edgefield Advertiser: ?Dear Old Friend: On my return from my Carn es ville church this morning I found your pa per awaiting me. But my heart was made sad at the reading of the death of two of my old friends, Abner Mims ("Buck" as we called him) and Amos Eubanks. They were both true men. Abner was a true soldier, both during the war and the trying days of the Red Shirts. Then, he was a true soldier of Christ. His light shown steady and bright. I knew more of him than of Mr. Eubanks, but both were true men. The ranks of we old soldiers are getting thin. All I crave is to be faith ful to the end. By the kindness and liberality of my churches, both wife and I will be able to attend the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta this week. We are glad to say that both of us are en joying good health. The Lord has fol lowed us with loving kindness all our days. Blessed be His name. As ever your friend and brother, G. W. BUSSEY.
