The Great Contrast
"Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord:
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word:
Once His gifts I wanted,
Now Himself alone;
Once I sought for healing.
Now the Healer own.
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.
"Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now he uses me;
Once the power I wanted,
Now the mighty One;
Once I worked for glory,
Now His will alone.

ELAND, S. 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

children, a daughter, Willie,

Mrs.Flora Fincher of Rock (SB
S. C., who died Sept. ll. lffiw
Her death was such a shockMg
him he never rallied or got dHj
it. His two remaining hrothBm
are J. T. and J. M. FunderbjjEH
of Dudley
He was a gentleman of the^H
school, a noble Confederate fJB
eran, having followed the Soflfl

years of the Coi.federate war 1
He was in five battles and was!
captured once, but came oy

mat nay w no inougn tneir causej
was lost, never lost the spiruj
ot unconquerable manhood, hflj
went to work -to build up Ml
own home and the bruised

taught school in a little log build-1
ing year after year, receiving nc
money at all and only such pay
in farm produce as the parents;
ot ihe children who had been de
prived of the privilege of schoo l
so many years, could pay him.
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.
Passing out. in the shadow
Into eternal day, *
Why do we call it dyiny,
( This sweet yoin},' away.

Cover crops not only add
jlzgnnic matter but they also add
l^^eat deal of nitrogen, if legum

Hwe strongly recommend the
Minting of cover crops on all

not recommend the plantttt
of cover crops where 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.

Natiohal Coal Association, told
the American Mining Congress
in session at Cleveland that the

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.

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.
