Miss Eula Clark Dead.
v>
On the morning of July 19th, 1913
* this lovely young woman passed fron
her earthly home to the home "noi
made with hands," eternal in the
heavens. Her, life seemed so short
she having just passed her twentyi
eighth birthday, bat it wa9 not lacking
It in usefulness and duties rightly per
formed. Trnly can it be said that hei
life was "jeweled with many virtues
and noble deeds."
W She had been in declining health fo:
* two years or more, but the last eigh
teen months of her life was spent ir
Sanitoriums, first in Columbia, S. C.:

fond hope of regaining health and
strength once more, but alas; it was
not to be so, the master had need foi
her, and despite all human help from
loving hearts and hands, his summons
must be obeyed. The bereaved should
not mourn as those who have no hope.
They can receive comfort from this
? =sweet assurance. "Blessed are the
<dead which die in the Lord."
Miss Eula Clark will be well remem*
- bered by many friends and by schoolf
mates and classmates of The Palmetto
9 Collegiate Institute of this place, and
in which she was a student from 1903
to 1905. She finished the course in this
school with distinction and honor,
conferred by her teacher, Pr^f. 0. D.
Seay, who was at that time principal
of th6 institution. Soon after completing
the course of instruction in this
^sehool, she began to teach in the public
schools of her own State, with first
oni) man OoHrolv
i^rautj CCA Uiluaicnj auu nao hvu > v<j
engaged in this work until her health
gave way in 1911. From that time on
mntil the close of her life, she was a
great sufferer, bnt gentleness and pa^
tient endurance shone ont from her
beaming conn ten ance through it all.
'On the sweet Sabbath morning of July
:20th, her body was placed to rest in
"the cemetery of the chnrch near her
iiome, of which she had in early life
become & member, remaining faithful
to the end. Death always sheds a gloom
.and throws a shadow, bnt when its
, cold hand is laid on one to whom life
seems so fall and sweet, one who has
nebie ambitions and high hope for the
(future, earnestly striving along the
^ -way for the uplift of humanity, the
(gloom does ser m deeper and the shadows
grow longer and wider. But we
who are saddened by the going out of
^his light must bow to the "infinite
wisdom." Sure it wili shine brighter
in the "Great Beyond."
A loving father and mother, one
sister, Mrs. Mary 0. Blount, two
brothers, Andrew J. Clark, of Douglas,
?Ga.; Piicher Clark, and one brother-indaw,
Mr. Albert Padget, of Keysville,
with many relatives and friends are
left to mourn the death of Enla Mae
Clark. Farewell; a word that must
* be, and hath been, a sound that makes
jos linger; yet farewell.
One who loved her.
Small Worms Devour Cotton.
Greenville, Aug. 17.?From Dunklin
^nirnshTD in this couutv comes alarm
ing reports of the invasion in that secw
tion of a small worm which is said
to be playing havoc by devouring cotr
ton bolls. Large fields of cotton, it is
said, are infested with the worm, and
. * the farmers are gre ltly exercised over
it. They are unable to account for
the presence of the worms, and they
say they are the first of the kind ever
seen in this section. The worm9 are
.rapidly spreading over the lower section
of the county, and it i9 feared
*.t unless something i9 quickly done
to stop the ravages of the pest the
crop in that section will be seriously
damaged.
The worms subsist on the cotton
lint, it seems, boring their way into
the boll in much the same manner as
TOAATril Aff-pr the insect en
VUV WVA 1 fT W T
ters the boll the fruitage turns black
and later rots. After the boll is ^ulled
apart a small insect will fly out,
having been transformed from the
original worm. The matter has been
reported to the agricultural department,
and it is expected that an expert
will be sent here to make an examin?
ation.

Bird Bobbed Hen Nest.
, Hen nests haye been known to have
1 been robbed by men and animals, but
6 the fir9t instance where a nest was
3 robbed by a bird has jnst been report,
ed. The robber upon this occasion
was a woodpecker, and the robbery
I was committed in this city a few days
ago. In fact, the robbing of the hen
l nest had been kept up foi some time
3 before the discovery was made that
the culprit wa9 a bird,
r Several days ago at a home in this
city, eggs began to disappear from
i one of the hen nests in the yard. Close
, investigation failed to reveal how the
i eggs were being taken. Nevertheless
1 as fa9t as the eggs were laid they
i would as soon disappear,
One afternoon one of the occupants
l of the home was sitting on the rear
i porch, when a woodpecker was no1
ticed to fly in the direction of the fowl
house. An investigation of what had
i attracted the attention of the bird in
> this direction revealed the fact that
the feathered visitor was robbing tne
hen nest.
The woodpecker first pierced a hole
i in the shell of the egg and then drained
it of its contents. As many as two
and three eggs a time would be treati
ed in this manner at one time by the
woodpecker.
It was afterwards found that the
woodpecker would perch upon a nearby
building, and as soon as the hens
began cackling he would go on a tour
of investigation of the fowl house.?

New Parcel Post fiule.
Last Friday the new postal law became
effective, providing that pack
ages of 10 pounds may be mailed
within the first and second zones,
where formerly the limit was eleven
pound3. This measure will be productive
of much good, and many will
take advantage of the increased allowance
in weight.
Tae rate of postage charged on all
packages, exceeding four pounds, will
cost 5 cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional pound,
when the parcel is to be delivered in
the same place, while the rate is 5
cents for the first pound and one cent
for each additional pound, when the
delivery is to be made at other offioes.
The measure is an extremely important
one and will be of great aid, es
pecially to the people living in small
towns near a city.
