After a very brief illness Mrs.

a's""if she had lived among us. Mrs.
Lanham was a daughter of Mr. M. D.
Lyon of our town. She became a vic
tim of pneumonia and succumbed to
the dread disease in about a week
after she was taken. Since the death
of her husband, the lamented James
Lanham, about seven years ago, she
has been both mother and father to
her th'ree bright children, managing
her ,f?rm and dairy, with the assist
ance of her son, with marked suc
cess.
Besides greeting with a smile, she
always had a word of cheer and
kindliness for thtfse she met, which
caused her to have a wide and stead
ily increasing circle of friends. Mrs.
Lanham was a devout Christian, her
membership being with the First
Presbyterian church of Augusta. Her
pastor, Dr. Sevier of Augusta, con
ducted the funeral at Sweetwater
church Sunday afternoon.. She is
survived by three children, a son.

Miss Florence Minis' Weekly
Letter.
Dear Advertiser:
1 am standing at my window writ
ing, for I have had my table carried
down to the stage, and my tall desk
is bulging with every conceivable bit
of theatrical property from artificial
snow, to hats and shoes for the char
acters. In such a country as this
Where real snow is to be had it seems
that we would not have to resort to"
anything artificial, but there is such:
a thing ?is a scene being too realistic
to be artistic.
Since the landing-of the Pilgrim
Fathers and the First Thanksgiving
are such closely allied subjects, I am
arranging some Puritan scenes to
morrow afternoon before a Hugh
School audience, and I feel as re
sponsible for every move the students
make as though Belasco himself were
to be the crititc. ' .
' I have the queerest feeling about
it, as though the performance were
all over, and a sort of deadly calm
possesses my soul, a feeling of com
pletion, as though I had already
married John Alden to. Priscilla with
my own prayer book and sent them
away to live happily and coldly ever
after in the frost and snow of a New
England winter.
After seeing miniature turkeys
artd pumpkins in shop windows for
weeks, before Thanksgiving, one be-' '.
gins to think that the day of celebra
tion is over by the day it arrives. So
it is with preparing for any occasion. ?
The thrill of preparation makes the .
final* event a sort of unworthy anti- s
climax or aftermath. .
The very sidewalks themselves jj
here would make an admirable Pu- ?
ritan setting, for the trees are cov- \
ered with hoar-frost, frozen in such *.
a way that it decorates them like .
cactus spines. !
If one wishes to, he may imagine 1
himself anywhere and fairly believe j
himself there, for snow so transforms I
a place that it is scarcely recogniz- .
able. j
It seems to me that since August, j
when I was in Edgefield a whole era i
of human history has* passed as i
though in August I had lived in the t
stone age - and* am now ' passing
through the glacial period.
"But the world is so full of a num
u__^&&j&Jk??xx8&,~. ,... - -
I think we should ?ll be as happy as
kings-" ', ' :'
. I am. It is strange how ? quota
tion sometimes loses it's value, for ?
few of us today would be willing to" .
exchange our moderate joys for. any ,
happiness possessed by a king, who
may any minute have his crown .
changed to a symbol of scorn. I
Tomorrow; Thanksgiving, the j
woods will be filled with gay, red- \
coated -and red-capped hunters, with 1
rubber boots and many guns, chasin? j
frightened deer through the forest. ,
The lakes here are frozen and along ,
their shores are tiny cabins where ]
roving hunters cook their meals and ]
bring the spoils of the chase. Some j
of these woods are primeval pines (
and hemlocks like those through j
which John Alden and Priscilla walk- ?
ed to churcfh. .

Representation of South in
Danger.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The opening
gun in the long-imminent battle to
reduce representation of the south
ern states in the house of represen
tatives was fired tonight by Repre
seljrr|ative Tinkham, republican, of
Massachusetts who announced that
hj?^jiad prepared a resolution for in
troduction tomorrow directing the
hojee census committee to make an
in?jairy ? into the extent of disen
fri&chisement of negroes in the south
aristo r^co^miend cutting down the
r?^esentati?h of those states ac
cordingly.
j'jftr. Tinkham's statement declared
t??$g.'-,eleven southern states-Alaba
njira'Arkansas,- Florida, Louisiana,
Mafe|sippi, North and South Caro
lina Tennessee, Texas, Georgia and
Vrairiia-cast only about 5 per cent
of?he total vote for president in the
laffltelection, although holding 25 per
ceriKof the membership of the house.
'Jgmmenting on probable reap
pointment of representatives in con
gre?? as a result of the 1920 census,
Mr. Tinkham said that if the present
base, of representation were used 65
members would be added in the
HO'TO. This increase, he added, could
be avoided almost entirely by. adher
ing, to the same unit of representa
kion-r-one member for 211',877 inhab
itants-and by enforcing the four
teenth amendment which directs con
to reduce representation' of
states where the right to vote is de
nied: qualified citizens.
: Mr. Tinkham said that if a reap
pointment ' bill were passed "which
is plainly unconstitutional by avoid
ing^'-enforcement of the fourteenth
amendment" he intended to question
in.Vfch%.-courts the constitutionality of
:he election for the next house.
Prune, Spray, Worm, Cultivate
,-Your County Agent About
"Orchard Week."
When planning the orchard^ there
is one thing that farmers should bear
in mind. The orchard requires at
;ention and must x jeive such, else
ill trees and vines put out'will soon
jo like thousands of others have done
in the State, and all the farmer gets
for his labor and money put into the.
;rees is a case of disappointment.
We urge you to give the trees a fair
irial and see the results., The methods
sf caring for an orchard are indeed
simple and inexpensive and any far.
mer in the State who is not thorough
ly familiar with the methods, will get
in touch with the county agent or
drop him a card and asking for the
information this will gladly be given,
rhe profits will greatly exceed the
2xpense.
The work to be done this fall and
winter can be summed up briefly as
follows :
1. Select the site for- the orchard,
which should be on an elevated sec
tion, not a high hill, but simply? as
the farmer would4 speak of it, a little
knoll. This gives good air. drainage
and also lessen the danger fo frost.
2. Prepare the soil thoroughly be
fore setting the trees. Break deep,
following with a cutaway in order
to get the soil as fine as possible. It
is better to do this from two to four
weeks before the trees are set out.
3. When setting the trees, if soil
is not in a good state of fertility, it
will be well to haul a little woods
earth to place about the roots. If
this cannot be secured, get a little
barnyard manure and thoroughly in
corporate with the soil that is placed
around the roots. This will enable
the trees to grow faster the'follow
ing spring.
4. Be sure to dig the holes in which
the trees are placed deep enough to
allow'trees to be about two inches
deeper in the soil than they were in
the nursery row and wide enough to
allow all roots to spread out full
length.
5. Be sure to trim off all roots
that were injured while removing
from the nursery row. Cut them off
just back of the bruise, leaving a
smooth cut. This enables them to heal
quicker and also lessen? the danger
of diseases. Also trim off all small
branches and in case of peaches, cut
fliem off from 15 to 18 inches above
the ground. Apples should be cut off
about two feet above the ground.
6. Give the trees the proper dis
tance. The following distances do
well for the home orchard: Peaches,
18 feet each way; apples, 30 feet
each way;, pears same as apples;
plums and cherries 20 feet each
way; blackberries and dewberries;
make rows 5 feet wide and set three
feet in drill; dewberries are often
planted 4x4 and grapes 8x8.
7. The follownig" varieties are rec
ommended for the home orchard.
Apples: Red June, Horse, Early Har
vest, Staymen, Winesap, Shockley,
Ben Davis and Mrs. Bryan. Pears:
Keiffer, LeConte,. Bartlett and Seck
el. Plums: Wild Goose, Climax and
Abundance. Cherries: Early Rich
mond. Peach: Mayflower, Old Mixon,
Greensboro, Red Bird, Hileuy Belle,
Carman, Elberta, Free, Crother's
Late. Blackberries: Early Harvest,
Eldorado and Wilson. Dewberries:
Lucretiaa. Grapes: Moore's Early,
Lutie, Lindley, Deleware, Niagara,
Concord, Brighton.
The .outline given above is all that
is necessary to get the orchard start
ed. Let's have an orchard on every
farm, raise our fruit as well as other
things to eat at home.
Work on the old orchard should be
gin at once, and should consist of
thorough and careful spraying, prun
ing, worming and cultivating. Why
these operations-?
1. Pruning.-Preserves the life,
health and vigor of the tree by re
moving dead, diseased and interfer
ring branches, concentrates the
growth into the fruit forming branch
es and encourages new wood growth
in support of the next crop of fruit.
2. Spraying-Safeguards and pro
longs the life of the tree by repelling
insect and disease attacks, and de
creases the per cent of decayed and
wormey fruit. However, it must be
clearly understood that different
pests require different sprays and
that the winter application of spray
is mainly for preserving the life of
the trees.
J*. Worming-"No legs no horse;
ITO root no tree." Therefore the
worms that burrow into the roots of
the, trees (the* presence being indi
cated by sap exudation or jelly near
the ground in th*- peach and plum
and yellowing of the apple and pear)
must be dug and cut as spraying does
not control this insect.
i>
..4v Cultivation-Aids in destroying
weeds and grass, reduces the harbor
ing places for insects, makes plant
food available and .encourages tree
growth.
If you are interested in fruit groov
ing, either on a small or large scale
write, phone or ask your county
aglnt or banker concerning "Orchard
Week" and arrange to attend some
pf the field demonstrations that will
bp given in pruning lind spraying in
the various ..counties during^,t;he.;week
will be eltTier the first br second ^week
of January.
"There is only one thing that pays
better than a good sound knowledge
of orchard management; and that is
to use it." Therefore, let's get behind
this movement and make the orchards
in thjs county the best in the State.

Death of Capt. S. B. Hughes.
While not altogether unexpected,
yet the announcement Tuesd?y af
ternoon in ?dgefield of the death of
C?pt. S. B. Hughes at his home seven
miles north of Edgefield caused
much sadness among his friends. On
account of failing health, his visits
to Edgefield became fewer and few
er during the past year and his
friends have missed his hearty hand
clasp and cordial greeting. During
his longTfmess Capt. Hughes was min
istered to untiringly and with beau
tiful devotion by his lcvsd ones, re
ceiving alsq the best medical atten
tion. But nothing could stay the pro
gress of the disease, catarrh of the
stomach, which sapped his strength
and vitality for nearly a y?ar.
Capt. Hughes was in his 74th year
and his passing away makes another
gap in the steadily diminishing ranks
of Confederate veterans. Although
a mere lad at the time, too young to
have, volunteered earlier, he entered
the Confederate army with the Cita
del cadets, which institution he was
attending. He saw active service as
a Confederate soldier the last six
months of the war. Capt.-Hughes was
descended from two very old Edge
field families, the Bones and Hughes
families, haying passed his entire life
in the&ommunity in which Ke was
born. HiyKaiii kindly, obliging neigh
bor andjFWK friend.

the funeral at two o'clock this after
noon, the interment taking place in
the Blocker cemetery.

A Federal Fort in a Locust
Grove.
During the Civil War at the battle
of Franklin, Gen. Hood, standing up
on an eminence, saw for the first
time in the distance a Federal fort
in a locust grove, from which his men
were being mowed at a rapid rate
Gen. Hood at once called his courier
to his side' and said: "Go to Gen
eral Cheatham and give him my
compliments and ask at his hands
that fort in the locust grove.'* The
courier put spur to -his horse and
soon returned saying that Gen.
Cheatham could not be found, and it
was feared that he had been killed.
"Go then," said Gen. Hood, "to Gen.
Cleborn, give him my compliments
apd tell him I ask at his hands that
fort in the locust grove"." Off the
courier flew the second time, but
soon returned saying "Gen. Hood,
Gen. Cleborn is dead on the field."'
It is 3aid that when he heard that
his great Irish general had fallen,,
his eyes full of tears and his heartr*
swelling* with emotion, ag?nr'he
said to his courier "Go then, to Gen.
Cockrell (who was the youngest
brigadier in the Confederate Armb
and give him my love and tell himv:
that I ask at his hand that fort in
the locust grove." Off he went the*
third time, finding the young Mis
sourian said, "Gen. Cockrell, Gen.
Hood sends you his love and asks-'
at your hands that fort in the locust
grove from which his men are receiv
ing sjuch a galling fire." The young
Missourian straightened' himself up
ni his stirrups and cried with a loud
voice: "First Missouri Brigade at
tention." And every man stood in his
place with brows knit, teeth clinched
and every nerve contracted, walting
for the second command. Soon it
oame ringing down the line as upon
electric wires: "Forward, double
quick, march." At the same tim?; ther .
rebel yell rose, from foiir thousand
throats. Across the meadow they
went, sweeping the field with the bay
onet and capturing the fort with its
contents of men and guns.
After the fort had% ben captured,
Gen. Cc ckrell-mounted his horse and
rode back over the field where the
gallant charg? was made. Looking at
the. slain,..he. called his. courier to his-.* ?
rf?y^?eKs^?o^
and give him my love and say to
him that I present to him the Federal
fort in the locust grove, but it cost
the best blood that the State of Mis- -
souri had to take it."
