Id Mre. J. W. Hilton passed away .ibout eleven o'clock Saturday morn ing. She had been for years in fail ing health, and at the last was so 11- great a sufferer that she welcomed 'I- death as a relief. She was buried at 1d Summerton. Her husband and sev ld eral children survive her. A few minutes past twelve of the same day Miss Rebecca Shorter died O at the advanced age of about eighty. is She was known or related to practi D cally everyone in the country round, and was a notable woman in her gen erosity to her church. She gave the land on which Bethlehem Methodist ;t- church was built, and she was buried y from this church Sunday morning at is 12 o'clock. To the great regret of all m concerned, the preacher in charge, ed Rev. W. O. Henderson, who was to in have funeralized Miss Shorter, was od unavoidably dlelayedl, and dlid not an reach there until after the burial. Mr. ry H-endecrson also regrettedl that he was not waitedl for, andl prop~osed to preach -a memorial sermon for Miss Shorter th on Sunday next at 4 p. m. This was arranged for. .t The D)avis Station school is now busily engaged in trying to round up a goodl year's work. Commencement is only about seven weeks off. Today iyat about two o'clock we expect to have Prof. Browne, county superin tendent of education, and other vis rgitors who will meet wvith us at the school house, and lay diown the lawv mn regard to agriculture in these wvar times. We hope our people will b~e wvell representedl at this meeting. --l 0 1)1 Communicatedl. >er IEditor of TIhe Manning limes: .il- WVill you al lowv space in your val -se unable paper for a farmer to reply to to~ the host of writers who give adlvice ry to fa rmers ?

JOSEPI could they when orly about: 25 per cent of a crop was gathered.' Not the fault of the farmer; for he had a good crop practically made when it was.destroyed by storm. The farm era who- can get-supplies are plant ing all they can -this year, and. will probably make enough without fer tilizer to feed themselves, their worthy brothers, and widows and or phans; but not enough to feed those who stand idly by and hand out cheap advice when a ton of fertilizer would assist greatly in producing his food supply for next winter. I do not say that all merchants are withholding aid, but it is certain that the majority of them are catering to the cash trade only. The farmers should patronize the merchant who helps them. I am not trying to array one class against another, only try ing to show that by helping others we help ourselves. If this article will arouse the pa triotism of some fertilizer dealer or some merchant to stand back of the farmer this summer while he is mak ing his crop I shall feel that I am serving my country in her food cam paign.
