Death of Mr. Dozier A. Lynch. ^ The entired community was deep ?ly saddened by the death of Dozier "A. Lynch, which occurred here today about 12 o'clock at the home of his mother, Mrs. Kate Lynch. While he has not made his home in Edgefield during the past ten years, yet he was ^universally beloved and his home com ing has always brought real joy to the hearts of his friends. Mi\ Lynch was bom February 9, 1889, and graduated from Davidson college with honors in 1910, which in stitution he entered after completing the course in the Edgefield graded school, there being no high schools in those days. The session following lis graduation from Davidson ne en tered, the law department of the Uni .versity of North Carolina and at the close of his junior year there he de cided to take his senior year in law at the University of South Carolina. While in his senior year at Carolina lie accepted a position as private sec retary to Judge Woods. Mr Lynch was" from his early boyhood a hard student, and made a splendid record at college, being recognized as having few equals as an orator. In every in stitution which he attended he was selected as the most suitable person to participate in the intercollegiate oratorical contests, never failing to bear off the honors. Early in the spring of 1912 Mr. Lynch became a victim of tuberculo sis and spent three years in a private sariitarram in Asheville, and later went to Fort Stanton, New Mexico, where he has resided for the past six years. All along he has made a stub horn fight against this dread disase, never losing courage until a few hours before the end came today. Just two weeks ago he came to Edgefield from Fort Stanton to visit his mother and since that time there has been ay steady decline in his condition. Mr. Lynch was an exceptional young man-an exception in his laud ?able ambition to fill a large and use ful place in life, an exception in his intellectual attainments, an excep tion in his splendid character.. In fact, a generation produces but few young men of the quality and calibre of Dozier Lynch. His high ideals, ster ling qualities and rectitude of life have been an inspiration to the young men who have come in contact with him, always inspiring them to higher .and nobler living. Mr. Lynch was a devout Christian, having united with the Presbyterian church in early boyhood.He was con scious almost to the end which he faced bravely, the passing through 1 the valley of the shadow of death having rto terrors for him.. 1 The funeral will be held at the res idence of his mother tomorrow after- i noon at four o'clock and the inter ment will take place in the family ; square in the village cemetery. Rev. ( T. P. Burgess of Clinton, who was Mr. < Lynch's pastor when he resided in i Edgefield has been requested to of- ( -ficiate at the funeral. I "Besides his mother, Mrs. Kate < Lynch, Mr. Lynch is survived by two brothers, Mr. W. C. Lynch of Edge field and Mr. W. E. Lynch .of Row- ] land, N. C. - - ?Flower Show in Fall. '.The members of the Civic League . "have decided to hold a flower show Tiext fall similar to the floral fairs - ..that wer? held in Edgefield a decade ago. Instead of confining the flowers to chrysanthemums, as was done . then, the exhibit will be thrown open to all kinds of flowers. If the flower show next fall is to be made a suc cess, and surely it will be, prepara tions must begin now during the planting season. It will be too late to decide in the summer or early fall to enter flowers. They must be grown, and in order to grow them the plant ing must be done in March and April. See how many exhibits you can pro -vide, covering as great variety as possible. Of course, everybody will grow fine chrysanthemums as they did in the years gone by. Begin now, if you would win some of the valu able prizes to be offered'-aext fall, j Testing Seed Corn. Clemson College, March 8.-One )f the best and most reliable ways of testing seed corn, says Prof. C. P. Blackwell, Agronomist, in answer to recent inquiries from farmers, is with the germination box. Any far mer can make his own box at very little expense. It may be made any size to suit the needs of the individ ual. The sides should be made of 2x4 timbers while the bottom may be made of any convenient material. A box the size suggest?d here will test two hundred ears at one time. This is enough seed to plant about sixteen acres. It usually requires about 12 ears to plant an acre. The Box. 1. Make a box 48 inches long, 28 inches wide and 4 to 5 inches deep. \ 2. Procure a good piece of mus lin one inch larger each way than the box. 3. Mark the muslin with heavy lines into squares two inches.. Leave a margin of 4 inches the outside row of squares and the edge of the cloth. 4. Begin at the left of the upper row of squares (top row first) and number the squares to the right. The squares down the left hand line will then be numbered 1, 21, 41, 51, to 81. 5. Place 1 1-2 bushels of saw dust or old chaff in a sack and soak well in warm water (at least two hours). 6. Drain and afterward press sur plus water out of sawdust. 7. Place about 2 inches of saw dust in the box and press firm and smooth with a brick. 8. Place marked muslin on this sawdust and tack to box around edge. 9. Prepare another piece of mus lin 2 inches shorter each way than the one marked. 10. Secure another piece of any coarse, strong cloth twice/ as long each way as the one mentioned in 9; The Corn. 11. Number the ears of corn to be tested from 1 to 200. Use tag in butt of ear fastened by pin or shingle nail. Preserve the identity of the ear until the test is complete. 12. Remove 6 kernels from each ear as follows, (a) Two from about 2 inches from the butt of ear, (b) two about the middle of ear, (c) two from about 2 inches from* tip of ear 13. Place the kernels from ear No. 1 in square No. 1; from ear No 2 in square No. 2 putting germ side of kernels up and tips pointing to ward rows of squares with lower numbers. 14. Wet small sheets of muslin as made in No. 9 and place over ker nels to hold in place. 15. Place large sheets of cloth as made in No. 10 over this. 16. Put about 2 inches of wet sawdust on this, press down until firm, and fold edges of cloth over to cover sawdust. 17. Keep from freezing. If warm, sprouts should be long enough in 7 to 8 days. 18. Open by rolling the cloth containing the sawdust, then taking off the loose cloth carefully, not dis tributing the kernels. Reading the Test.. 19. Do not read until the sprouts are at least twd^ inches long. 20. If all the kernels grow well, the ear is considered "strong." 21. If the sprouts are weak, call that a "weak ear." 22. If two or more kernels do lot grow call that a "bad" ear. 23. All but the strong ears are rejected for seed- purposes. All saw iust and cloth used should be thor jughly wet. If warm water is used, it viii promote early growth. If saw dust and cloths are used repeatedly they should be thoroughly scalded to iestroy mold. He Rose. fie rose! the lillies tell it With fragrant Easter breath, From out the tomb's great ( darkness He rose, and conquered death. He rose! the birds are telling In tuneful Easter song, Sow Jesus brought salvation When earth had waited long. He rose! the whole world tells it In every new born flower, That Christ has conquered Death, With, resurrection power. He bids us live our Easter, / Not once, but all the way, / And rise above our crosses, With Him on Easter day! Emma Graves Dietrick. J v J. S.

Master Wayne Derrick, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Derrick, had his left leg broken last Thursday while playing on the school ?rounds of the Lott School. Both bones were not only broken but the large bone protruded from the flesh and a piece several inches in length had to be removed. Wayne was car ried at once to the Baptist hospital in Columbia where he is receiving the best ?attention. The attending physi cian told his father that he felt con fident that he could practically re store the injured member but that it would require about six months' Na ture will have to repair the injury sustained through the piece of bone that had to be removed. Wayne is a bright and very popular, boy and his misfortune is deeply deplored. ?No blame or censure attaches to any of his playmates, the unfortunate oc currence being purely accidental.

God pity the man who has never known want By poverty, never hungry and cold; Nor never had the horror of starva tion, to haunt Him, night and day, as homeless he. strolled. He cannot appreciate the pleasure of livio.g, And have the sweet sympathy for others, He can never know the true happi ness of giving To our poor, less fortunate brothers. His heart is casehardened to sweet emotions of love, That thrill your soul through and through ; And comforts day ond night like a soft cooing dove, Singing love songs to his soulmate so true. Our possession of riches though we be upright and just, We leave behind in this world some day; And the only thing we can take with us Is that which we have given away W. S. G. HEATH.
