I'Once 'twas painful trying, Now 'tis perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost; Once 'twas ceaseless holding, Now He folds me fast; Once 'twas constant drifting, Now my anchor's cast. "Once 'twas busy planning Now 'tis trustful prayer; Once 'twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once 'twas what I wanted, Now what Testis says; i unce iwas consiani asking, Now 'tis ceaseless praise.

C., WEDNESDAY William II. Funderburk The ripened fruit must fall. The matured grain must be gathered in. How lilting then that man, when the fullness of his years has passed, should fade as fades the flower in the mellowness of the autumn sun. What a beautiful thing it is to be allowed to live in this world for nearly a century. To see the changing seasons and the passing of the old, the conting in of the new, so many golden years. The death on Sunday October 13, of Mr. William H. Fuuderburk in the Dudley community, cast a shadow over a wide circle of relatives and friends in the^ surrounding communities. William H. Funderburk wad born September 16, 1834. 1 He was first married on thsjB of Dec. 1855 10 Sarah Anne MiiB gum. To them were born fnwfl children, a daughter, Willie, died when a child, Mr. I.C.

He was a faithful member o the Baptist church through all the years and attended it as long as he was able to do so. lie was buried at Liberty Hill cemetery Oct. 1(5, Kev. Zeb Caudle conducting the funeral services. The passing of this grand old man brings very forcibly 10 our minds the following lines: Passing out of the shadow Into a purer light, Stopping behind the curtain, (letting a clearer sight. Lay ifig aside the burdens, This weary mortal coil: Hone with the world's vexations, Done with its tears and toil. Tired of all earth's playthings, Heart sick and ready to sleep, ( Heady to hid his friends farewell, 1 Wondering why they weep.

Hwe strongly recommend the Minting of cover crops on all j|?od except where cotton is to jplanted next year, says Prof. Bp, Blackwell, Agronomist; but not recommend the plantttt of cover crops where cotton hyto be planted next year, except wjberc soil is sandy and where farmer is sure that he has suf Kent force to plow under bis |Mfrer crop at the proper time in spring so that it will not delay Hfe planting ot cotton.

KOoe of our best cover crops is and hairy vetch. It is our ftafest crop and is almost certain rahre a good result if seeded Mbon and at the rate ol sixty pounds of rye and twenty pounds of vetch per acre Oats and vetch used at the same rate of seeding will also give good results. Another good cover crop is crimson clover. The only objection to it is that it is not so easv to grow and that a failure frequently results with farmers inexperienced in its use. What the Strike C? si Spartanburg Herald. An Associated Press dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, said that J. G Hradley, of Dundon, West Virgiei 1, former President of the Natiohal Coal Association, told the American Mining Congress in session at Cleveland that the fnt.il loss to the roal industrv of the recent coal strike was $1,190,000,000 divided as follows: Wages of miners $450,000,000 Railroads, in freight. MO.oOO.OOO Public in cost of fuel 400,000,000 Mine owners 10,000,000 Mr. Bradley added: If every family in America were to pav $15 it would barely cover this loss," Mr. Bradley said. *'i>r!oe of the struggle which has i i t been passed througn is cnor !. ?us. It is at least to be hoped t! t it h.?s had its lesson from v. ich both sides may profit." it was a game fight, if a ver\ I f dish fight, that the miners i de and it will take a long time f . them to recoup their losse: i ndeed it can ever be done They are nearly half a billior 922. OUR EXCHANGES The State France now looks to the Turk ind the Bolsheviki, and the Boliheviki and the Turk now look to France. It is not a pretty al-[ liance, even if it insures peace in' Europe ?ind Asia Minor. Mnrshville Home. There isn't an acre o) land in cultivation in this community that can not be caused to double its crop yields within three years by the use of clovers under systematic crop rotation. There are plenty of examples of one hundred per cent increase in yields of crops following the first \ ear's seedings with lespedeza. The time is almost at hand in this community when a farmer will be considered very much ol a "back number" whose farm in the spring shows a wheat or oai crop without a "nurse" crop ol lespedeza or other clovers grow ing with it. The Calhoun Times A cotton buyer of St. Matthew took a few samples of long stap le cotton to a city, not a thous and miles away, a few days ag< io sound the market. The: were beauties and the demanc was eager. But listen at tliistal which proves how the Utile tisl are eaten up by the sharks. Th first bid out of the box was 2 cents.

A Prayior Church * A prosperous church is a church which prays, ft is writ'* ten, "My house shall be called a house of prayer." We must never lose faith in prayer. We must never abandon prayer.
