Mr. C. W. Wolfe, editorof the King stree County Recordi, died in a sanitar ium at Hendersonville Monday. He had been in ill health for several years. He was about 45 years old, and leaves a wife and one child. His wife was a Miss Hodge of this county. If the country editor were to snap at all the inducements held out he would soon become a millinaire. If he ran a paper according to the popular notion he would be in the poor house. If be published all the items that were sent to him he would be in jail half the time and in the hospital the other half. It is astonishing how many business men can be talked into taking space in a chart, or frame, or register, or some other thing that has no excuse for ex istence. A schemer will get more for his worthless card than a country pub lisher would. It is people who have been thus duped who complain that advertising does not pay. Mr. C. A. McFaddin, who for several years has been in the government em ploy as county demonstration agent, has been promoted to district manager, having thirteen counties under super vision, and started on his new duties last week. His successor has been appointed for this county. Mr. McFad din has worked hard and accomplished much. therefore the government. ap preciating his efforts, gave him this deserved promotion. The Manning flour mill is now read for operation, and on Mondav, we ut derstand, Mr. Ervin bought about fift bushels of wheat from a Mayesvill farmer, paying the cash for it. This i one of the most beneficial institutiot ever started in our town. The mi will run the year round and those ba' ing wbeat for sale can find marke here for it. In opeoing up this ne' market. there will be money circula ing all the time. You can sell you wheat as you need the cash. or dispos of it at one time, which will give yo money a month or six weeks before t< bacco comes in. Mr. Ervin deserve much credit for what he is doing, an we hope Manning will not have anothe barrel of flour shipped here, but wi: patronize this home industry. Card of Thanks.

Osteen, about four miles from Pine wood, when their only daughter, Eu nice Esther Osteen was given in mar riage to Benjamine Terrell Kolb. The ceremony took Dlace in the parlor un der an arch of pink and green, the color scheme on this occasion, from which was suspended a lovely pink horse-shoe. Just before the ceremony Miss Gladys Turner of Sumter, sang one or two suitable selections. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march the bridal party entered. frst, the matron of honor. Mrs. Mack Ow ens of Orangeburg. Next, the maid of honor, Miss Mae Griftin of Pinewood. Then the bride entered on the arm of her cousin, Johnnie Owens of Orange burg, and was met af the earch by the groom with his best man, his brother, Clinton Kolb of Privateer.

Alcolu July 17.-The following gentle men addressed the Farmers' Field Day meeting at Trinity, near here, on yes terday: Mr. John Madison DesChamps spoke on the subject: "We and the Other Fellow," and for more than an hour entertained his audience on an interest ing expose of the natural advantages of South Carolina; during which he as sured his audence that he would be a candidate for governor in 1916. Many complimented the address of Mr. Des Champs, who by the way is a brother of our ablo representative, Hon. R. S. DesChamps. Mr. J. M. DesChamps has travelled all over the United States and into many foreign coentries, has had much commercial experience, lias written extensively and is all round in formed on the topics of the day, and a leasing and instructive platform ora tor. Hon. J. Arthur Banks, State Sena tor from Caltioun county, next address ed the meeting in re, the great advant ages to be derived from housing and storing cotton as per the State ware house law in South Carolina, and re cited the ease and facility with which he, through the Instrumentality of the Hon. John L. McLaurin had secured money on his cotton in his State ware house at St. Mitthews, through the National City Bank of New York. The next on the program was that silver tongue orator and Southern de bator and champion of the cause of the farmers, the Hon. John L. McLaurin, State- warehouse commissioner and originator and effector of the State warehouse law. who after a few intro ductory remarks, explained that he had just returned from Atlanta, where he had been using his great endeavors to get the legislature of the State of Georgia and the great State of Ala bama to pass just such a warehouse law as he had by unt.iring efforts se cnrep for 'Sotfth Carolina and that he found that the great effort in Atlanta. where the legislature of Georgia is in session is to crease in the large cities large warehouses to which the farmezr would be expected to ship his cotton, giving a raice-off to the railroads and place the farmer's property where it would be not only a collateral for the large banks in the great cities, but give to the stockholders of the la'ge warehouses in these centers a large margin in the storage and to the con necting banks in said cities the loans and deposits, or a certain reutentative portion-of the peposits. Mr. McLaurin made fervent and patriotic appeal to the farmers to stand together and car ry out the plan of the State warehouse law and thereby save the South from financial ruin and at the same time bring themselves into the possession of the profits that were justly theirs- by the hardships incident to producing and harvesting the cotton crop 'which he said was the foundation of Southern civilization and what prosperity the South had made. After the meeting was over, which was presided over by that truly gen erus representative, the Hon. "Bob" White, Capt J. N. McKenzie, agricul turist for the D. W. Alderman &'Sons' Co., of Alcolu, in company with this correspondent, motored to Sumter in comnp any with Senators McLaurin and Banks. Great praise was heard on every hand for the ,nmagnificient, sumptuous repast that was served today by the ladies of Trinity. Program Santee Sammer Assembly. July 26,-30.

Eight oth I ers were received by letter and by res toration, making a total of thirty tw< t additions to the membership of th Baptist church. - Dr. Fort preached his final sermoi r on Thursday night and left for Nash e ville, Tenn., his home, on Frica; morning. His splendid sermons wor for him the admiration and esteem o s all who heard him, while his afable manner and genial personality won fo r him a large place in the affections o our people. Dr. Fort is one of the most popular and successful Ministers our commun ity has ever been privileged to hear We believe that his labors in our mids have left a deep and lasting influence r for good upon the community. Although quite a young man. he is f pastor of one of the largest and strong est churches in the Southern Baptist Convention. Under his administration the first Baptist church of Nashville has surpassed all its former records, and leads the Baptist churches of Ten: nessee in its gifts to missionary anc e benevolent objects. Our people reLain only the pleasant est recollections of Dr. Fort. His methods are few from objectionable features or seasotionalism. No barsb or unkind words escaped his lips. We shall be glad to have him return tc Manning at some future time. Dr. Fort expressed the warmest ap preciation of the cordial reception giv en him by the people of all denomina. tions, the many courtesies shown him, and the splendid congregations that attended his services.

Partly, I wanted to wait for some new ideas. . . . Partly, I was a little too far beyond the press. I cannot pull well in long traces, when the draught Is too far behind me.

SON, Thev're the best.. Summerton. Your correspondent received last Wednesday afternoon the following let ter, post marked Summerton, S. C., July-14, 1915. -Whoa Take The Bits" The Heathens rage, let the people i e joice, signed, Guess Who. Most like ly the words of the above were gotten from the telegrams of Senator B R. Tillman and Mr. W. P. Pollock, after the defeat of the former Governor to the United States Senate last summer, and shows no originality of M r. Guess Who. The above of course is a jab at me for voting for my friend and neigh bor, Mr. John R. Dingle. But before attempting to guess who, I would say that I have no apologies to make to men who sign their name to what they write. much less to those who from over joy or cowardice do not sign their names to what they write. However there is no occasion for the beathen to rage in this instance, as I felt sure that the men who voted for Mr. Din gle,have a high regard for Mr.DuRant and will shear with their fellow cit izens, the pride we will all have in our new Senator. And I feel sure had Mr. DuRant been asked the question if he wanted the vote of as an unmanly a man. as would write a letter to another as tlie above without signing it I am sure he would have declined his vote. I will not bother myself to guess who it was, that would write anonymous let ter,but will satisfy myself with the state ment that it is possible that Mr. Din gle may have gotten a vote or two from heathens, but the above note to me is positive proof that Mr. DuRant got one yote from a voter who is less than a In January of this year, a few men in this community determing that tobac co planting in the Summerton section should be thoroughly tested, at the first of the year there were a large number who planted tobacco beds but the trying weather conditions of the spring caused the greater number who had planted beds to abandon the enter prise. However about 12 or 15 men have persevered, and although their acreage is reduced, they are now in sight of victory. Several barns are now curing, and the growing tobacco looks good, and is of a good quality. This means that for the first time in the history of Summerton, from six to. ten thousand dollars of ready cash will be put in circulation between now and September the 1st. And all those who planted tobacco this year are going to increase their acreage next year, and with the addition of many more plant ing we are assured that Summerton will have a tobacco warehouse next season, and hard times then will be -a tbing of the past after July 15th. Mr. J. H. T. Coulliette who lives in the Ponola section has five acres of what is known as the Coulliette strain ed long staple cotton, which is said to be the best cotton in this section of the county, and when Mr. Coulliette was seen by your correspondent and asked, about this cotton he said "unless some disaster should take place he. was cer tain of as much as a bale to the acre, and if it kept un growth a little longer and held the fruit it is now taking on, it would perhaps make six bales on the five acres. And that in 1912 he sold some of this same cotton as high as 23 cents, and that even last year when you could hardly sell cotton at any price that he found ready sales for this cotton at prices from 14 to 15 1-2 cents" This undoubtedly is a fine variety of staple cotton and if many more farm ers planted this cotton money would be more plentiful.
