At the close of the service scores rushed to the front to express their commendation and to bid him God speed in his life of sacrifice and ser vice of his Master.

While probably other things of interest to farmers will doubtless be discussed, yet the leading ques tion will be dairying. Experts and specialists from Clemson College and from the United States Department of Agriculture will be present and deliver addresses that well be help ful. There is no denying the fact that farmers, and consequently every oth er interest and business, stand face to face with an insurmountable brick wall, so to speak, and they know not which way to turn for re lief. The mass meeting at Johnston is called for the purpose of opening up some new avenue of relief. The time has come when we must leave off cot ton as certainly and as speedily as we would desert a sinking ship. Fur ther dependence upon cotton as a money crop spells BANKRUPTCY.
