The girls of the fifth and sixth
grades of the McColl Graded school
have undertaken the task to raise a
-V sum oi money sufficient to p'??e a
monument in memory of Emily
Geiger, and a?k the other school
children of the State to assist them
in this laudable undertaking. They |
truthfully sav that "Such bravery
and love of Country as this young
girl dipplftved should make all South
Carolina girls proud of their siQfcer,
and they should be glad to h?ve a
chance to show tbeir appreciation of
% - her courage deed." Everyone should
feel it an honor to help honor the
memory of thi? fearles? woman who
now lies borted in an obscure graveg?
yard near Columbia
K f We believe that Enily Geiger is
bnried in the Threewitt old burying
Lground in Congaree township, but
?T the exact spot'wh*re her sacred remains
rest is not known?Editor

Bad Ooaditioa.
The condition of Miio and Depot

rains of tbe past few weeks and the !

fifc' daiiy give the town coudciI tbe use j
I'.-.. of 8 team a d iv to put tbese streets I
in good condition. It will be to

Carolina, recently told the New
York Glebe thia story of a confirmed
bachelor friend of hip?in 06ualiy
homely, but humorous fellow ?whom
he asked, jokingly, why be did not
get married. *
"Because, with me,"' he said, "marriage
is possible only under three
conditions "
"Indeed, and what are they ?" I
asked
"Well, mr wife," he replied, drolly,
"must be rich, and beautiful :aod a
fool. Unless she is rich aDd beautiful
I won't marry her, and unless |
she be a foci, she won't marry me." I

SEED
I I M E[
<3ie experienced farmer
has learned that some
grains require far different
soil than others;
some crops need differenthandling
than others.
He knows that a great j
| deal depends upon right
planting at the right
time, and that the soil
must be kept enriched.
No use of complaining
in summer about a mistake
made in the spring.
Decide before the seed
is planted.
I&c best time to remedy
wasting conditions in
the human body is before
the evil is too deep
rooted. At the first evi- '
dence of loss of flesh
j Scott's Emulsion
should be taken immediately.
There is noth|
-ing that will repair
wasted tissue more \
\ quickly or replace lost
flesh more abundantly
than Scott's Emulsion.
It nourishes and builds
up the body when ordinary
foods absolutely
fail.
