H).- Mrs. Melin da Robinson, aged sixty years, was run Over and instantly - killed by Southern Railway train No. 12 at ] Liberty,, about twenty miles west of live stock to better meet boll weevil conditions. That packing house has gone down and has been sold. The reason assigned was that the farmers would noty-raise enough hogs to keep it going.

DEASON. f' Among the Confederate veterans who were greeting their friends on Monday were, Q.‘ W. Anderson, of Dunbarton/ H.' B. Lott, and D. F. of Hilda, and J. J Baxlejr, of Elko. The death of Mrs. R. A* Deason, which occured\on Monday at the Hospital in -Columbia, was a shock to the eOramunity, notwithstanding she had been ill for a long time, she leaves surviving,"her husband, Dr, R» A. Deason, four children, two boysrTBia two girls. Her remains were ( brought to Barnwell on Tues day evening. The funeral was con : ducted at her late home by Rev. L. E. Peeler, and Dr. ; W. M. Jongs,-in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, and In the small towns and in the country, there are thousands of great men who are never heard of fifty miles from their homes. - Take a ride through a farming community and when you have a big house pointed out to you, the owner of which successfully farmz. several hundred actgs of laad, you have found an unknown grea’t men. And you may ride from one end . of the county to the other, and you will never be long out of sight of the homes of unknown great men of this description.

THE WILL TO WIN. 1 r •..." -The boll weevil has won the farm er's bet, and now the farmer must nay. The farmer in tho face of warning.that came line upon line and. precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, has not believed that the weevil would come. They can be found in almost every field in this county. Some people are scared before long others also will be seated. Marshal Foch said in the darkest hour for the allies that no battle ia Lo3t until one side or the other be lieves it is beaten. The same is true in the weevil situation. We have :ior.ie farmers who never succeeded when there was no, weevil. Those same men can not succeed with the weevil. We must see that the weevil hasn’t driven other weevil infested states into bankruptcy. O the con trary they have grow n richer than un- * der cotton fgriTiyBg. Are we-to con fess that we must fail where others have succeeded? Is the boll weevil bigger than our men? We must undoubtedly pay the debt of ignorance. ,The man who wins will be the intelligent, observant and reading farmer'wKo keeps up with the latest developments. He will be a subscriber to the beat farm journ als, and he will take the best dailies and county papers. He will also get into first hand touch with all the bul letins issued by, the state and federal departments of agriculture. He will >> not fool away two or three -seasons watching the success of his neighbor, but will show his neighbor how to do things. The farmer who cannot win against boll weevil conditions ax others have done elsewhere has struck the wrong tailing in fanning. One thing that is urgently needed is closer cooperation between farm ers. This must be .not only between intelligent farmers who wish to be come more intelligent, but also be tween the intelligent and ignorant farmers. Our success and prosperi ty depends upon the success of all our farmers rather than any jpsrticn- __ lar class Among them. v Bril, of Williston, Henry J.
