Mr. W. S. Talbott, a citizen of
Columbia, died quite suddenly in his
oom in the hotel Jerome last Satur
lay morning. He had been sick

veil known in this county, where he
lad many friends. He was a dealer
n horses and mules and was quite
successful.

Mr. John A. Shull; died at his
residence in Columbia, last Friday
night. He had passed the eightieth
milestone in the j jurney of life and
the infirmities of age was more than
his frail body could endure and after
a long useful and well spent life he
was gathered to his fathers. He
was a native of this county and many
of our people remember him with
real love and affection. He was the
father of Messrs. E C, J. L. and
W. J. Shull. His remains were in
terred in Elm wood cemetery.
Fine cocoanuts can be found at
the Bazaar, cheap.
Against Commercial Fertilizers.
There is an inclination on the
part of some of the farmers to do
with as little commercial fertilizers
as possible this year. Mr. D Franklin
Keisler, one of our far seeing and
most successful farmers advises his
brother farmers not to buy commercial
fertilizers unless the price is
based upon the price of cotton, but
instead make as much home made
manure as they possibly can. J5y
doing this they will not be f >rced to
sell cotton when it is low in price to
1 quidate guano bills and it will not
take all they make to pay them.
This is sound advice and is worthy

have exhausted all the means at my

command in reierence to tne proper
organization of the several townships
in order that a full and complete list
of the needy Confederate soldiers,
md the widows of Confederate solliers
could be had, but have failed
through no fault of mine. When
[ advertised for those interested in
each township to meet at the usual
place of meeting previous to the
irst Monday in August, 1899, and for
;he Chairman of each township to
neet me at Lexington Court House
>n the first Monday in August of
;hat year, there were but four townibips
represented, and of course
10 quorum being present, nothing
vas done. I notified the Comptroler
General of the failure. I will
nake one more effort, and if that
'ails I can do nothing more. The
ownships which fail to elect their
espective board will in all probability
'ail to receive any of the pension
noney, for all applications must
some through the townsip boards
lefore they can be approved or disipproved
by the county board. Those

Making an Aggressive Fight.
Congressman Stjkes of South Carolina
is Untiring and Enthusiastic
in His Systematic Efforts to Equalize
and Extend the Benefits of
Our Postal System.
Special Correspondent.
He is now busily at work preparing
a bill, providing that Free Delivery
of mails be extended to towns
under thousand population.
As the i; w now stands free delivery
is allowed only to towns with ten
thousand population. The bill is
finding much favor here and is likely
to pass.
He is also pressing before the committee
the necessity of a further extension
of the rural free delivery,
and to that end is asking that the
three hundred thousand dollars already
appropriated under the law be
supplemented by an additional appropriation
of one hundred and fifty
thousand, making the total appropriation
this year four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Third Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S.
Heath is loud in his praise of the
system, and this fact, together with
Congressman Stokes' aggressive fight,
will give the proposition much weight
in the House when it comes up.
Free delivery is no longer an experiment,
it is an actual necessity in
our postal system.
