Death of Mrs. T. A. Cobb. On the l$th of March there occur red a death in Lakeland, Fla., that cast a gloom over the New* Cnapei settlement as well as the home of the deceased. Mrs. Cobb had been spend-! ing several summers with her daugn-! ter, Mrs. 0. W. Long, by which she,' - _j. Viorcoif one of us.' nau luaut uviw. She had been an invalid for manyj years, rolled about in a chair by a'! loving husband and devoted daughter. Yet, notwithstanding her affliction,' where she was there was sunshine1 and happiness; it was always a pleas-j ure as well as an inspiration to De in her company. She often talked .11.. crmna- where rolling: chairs JUJ1UU\ ui _ w are not known. I shall never forget1 her words to the corpse of her little; granddaughter, as she stroked its cold brow, just before it was carried! to the grave. "Good bye, my little! darling, grandma will soon come ana j be with you." Now she has gone1 and they are together, never to part any more. Mrs. Long was on the w*ay to See her mother when the end came; she arrived only to hear the saa news and see the still form of mother, grief stricken, yet with ? hope fuli of joy.' May Gdo's richest blessings ever rest upon the loving husbana and devoted children is our prayer. W. R. Bouknight. . The Dead Veterans Since Last May. The following are the members ol no rrm TT C.

The Civic * Association has a num ber of packages of flower seeds. Ai first they planned to offer a prize tc the person who made the most beau tiful flower garden on any racant lot in Newberry. At their meeting Monday afternoor they decided instead to cooperate with the superintendent of the city schools in his efforts to organize the pupils of the schools into a volunteer service league. The association will distribute its flower seeds among the school children and will offer money prizes for the best gardens, the idea "being that the vacant lots b? plant ed with vegetables and beautified with borders of flowers. To help in this work the president appointed a committee of two ladies to eacu school who will try to obtain vacant lots for the children to plant. High school?Mrs. J. B. Fox, Mra. J. B. Fant.

TO FARMERS, BANKERS AND BUSINESS 3TEN IN THE SOUTH I \ - ' smcij. j For nearly three years I have done j my best to warn you to prepare tor j the present emergency. For yeara ! we have tried to encourage diversivi ! caption in the South as a ba^is for j greater safety, both agricultural anai : economic. Since the war began m j Europe we have urged safe farming, j When prices were low you did well i and made great progress. iWhen ! cotton .went? to eighteen cents and over you made large profits because, j of your nrogress in safe farming, bat J | some were tempted to go back to coi-j ton. In common with many other : men,- I have tried to warn you ot; ; that danger. Cotton has not been j high but has only increased in some-! i what less proportion than food ana! feed. j Now this crisis is here. This great! ; nation must arouse herself for a! ' * KK r\r+f-TT "Da^TV^ r\ I *j IIligULY SH IV/I' 11UC1 LJ . jl i without food and armies without ra tions are'conquered before they can , begin to fight. Our greatest safety now lies in food production and in ! saving the waste products. If the South is to be strong she 'i must have food. If this country is '! to be strong she- must be well fea and have an abundance to sustain , those friendly people who are even now fighting our battles for liberty and democracy. rj Transportation may be disturbed. Your own defense' requires you to j produce and conserve your food sup j ply. Don't faif now! it is a Natlon ! al- problem of defense as important I ,1 as men and guns, ships and cannon, j j Business men, if seed is short can-) vass the situation like patriots ana get the seed for farmers. Arrange the credits. Furnish farmers seed corn, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beana. peanuts, sorghum, etc., at cost. See that all things necessary to help farmers are done. Of course, we must produce cotton, but with a mod erate acreage and a good season there will be enough. Do not sacri fice acres of food to increase your J acreage, in cotton. Look aliead! Get J the warehouses, the feed mills, shei-' lers. cleaning stations, creameries, | 'packing plants, etc., ready. You mustj j do your share and cooperate witn j farmers. They must do their share and tend the crops faithfully. Farmers, in your unions, clubs and j other organizations, resolve to use ( the best methods now. When the nation faces a crisis we must have the best farming in its "history. La bor is short, hence the best tools and all labor-saving devices must be used ; to make it possible for every farm j laborer to cover a-s much ground as i possible and do the most efficient work. Farm women and girls have j important work to do in the garden, ) <-?T?r?Vio rr? irv raiQirio nnilltrv STlrt especially in canning, preserving ana conserving our food supply. Your county agent and Home dem onstration agent become more im portant officers now than ever before. Your State extension division at the agricultural college will have still more important duties. Look to these for counsel and advice in this new burden of extra work. The county agent will, without doubt, have new duties and responsibilities in their near future. Farmers and business men, save the breeding stock. Don't sell cows, hnifers. mares, sows, gilts, ewes or hens. Keep them for breeding. .If V| ?

Outlaws 3 to 2 in a ten inning game! at College Park Friday afternoon. It was a pitchers' battle from the be-, ginning. Crotwell for the Freshmen ; made 12 men miss the third striKe; and allowed only three hits, while Scurry (Pope) for the Outlaws retir-j ed 15 men on the third strike and yielded five hits. One of the features of the game was the one-hand stao' by Floyd, which robbed the Outlaws i of what seemed to be a hit over 1st. base. This probably saved the game for the Freshmen.
