JNO. C. SELLERS.
? ' "The golden bowl is broken,
The pitcher is broken at the fountain,
The wheel is broken at the cistern."
The mournful dirge rings, and we
bow our head in sorrow, for death
* has Invaded our mystic circle, striking
down a brother, who like the ripened
harvest has passed through spring,
summer, autumn, and had advanced
into the winter life. The sun of his
r # life is set He will never more rise in
I 'the East to direct the labors of his
m* craft. A fellow-craft summoned to
^ learn the great secret enabled by the
signet of eternal truth has passed
within the last veil, to receive the new
name, which no man knoweth, saving
him that receiveth it. In the death of
Brother John C. Sellers, Dalcho
Lodge Buffers a loss irreparable. He
was our brother indeed. We loved him
for his frank, warm-hearted, generous
liberality, and we miss him be/*oiioq
hia Ineo fr\ f){a fomilv tn hift
Innumerable friends, and to his lodge
room makes vacant a place that will
not soon be filled. ?
In bis community, Brother Sellers
was a (man of mark?one of nature's
noblemen. Upright and square in his
4 dealings, courageous in declaration of
v / his convictions, prompt in performance
of duty, he was at once the cherished
friend, the loved and loving
companion, whose gift of a noble
heart, genial disposition, well stored
mind, and rare conversational charm,
will ever be a treasured memory in
the hearts of those who loved him so
well.
In church or state exemplary moral
character, unsullied by the breath of
scandal, an integrity unscathed by the
sharp thrusts of controversy, and a
charity that will extend beyond the
grave, through the boundless realms
of eternity, commanded for him the
esteem and confidence of his fellow
man. >
In his fraternity, masonry, like
Christianity possessed tor him, an active
vitality, that lived in deeds, and
spoke In acts. Two controlling ideas
actuated his activities, first to know
his duty, then, to perform it. He
needed no spur to press him onward,
but with the cardinal virutes to guide
him?the tenets of his profession to
aid hiip?and his obligation to bind
him, he was as true to his Masonic
duties, as the needle to the pole.
The foundation of his Masonic
character was well laid, and the moral
edifice he reared upon dt, was good
work, true work, square work, and
uninjured by the ravages of time, will
stand throughout eternity the admiration
of those permitted beyond the
veil, to behold its perfection, strength
and beauty, and we have confidence
^ to believe that the final "well done
thou good and faithful servant", the
I wages of the workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, were his just
* dues.
Throughout a period of more than
half a century, he had served in every
_ station of usefulness, from the humB
blest, to the most difficult, with en*'
liiiolnam onH veal Tn oaaann and nilt
of seson, under the blighting rays of
a midsummer sun, or through the icy
w blasts of a midwinter night, he went
near and far, to do the work he loved
so well. He was ever ready and willing
to instruct his less informed brethren,
giving of his time ungrudgingly,
and by his patience and kindness,
builded a monument of grateful love
in the hearts of hosts of young initiates.
During a long tenure of service
under the Grand Lodge, as District
Deputy Grand Master, his paternal
interest in his home lodge
never wanqd, and indeed a record of
the activities of John C. Sellers, for
more than a generation past, would
contain a nearly complete masonic
history of his community generally,
and of Dalcho Lodge in particular.
And now, whereas, in the wise dispensation
of Divine Providence, God
has broken our circle and removed to
a brighter and better world than this,
our beloved brother, John C. Sellers;
And, whereas, Dalcho Lodge has lost
a good and faithful member, a wise
master, and safe councillor, our
Grand Lodge has lost an old, efficient
and honored officer, and Masonry
v generally has lost a zealous exponent,
therefore be it resolved,
^ 1st. That we bow in humble subw
mission to the will of the Great I Am,
emulating the example of our translated
brother in an endeavor to live
conformably to the precepts contained
In the Book of the Law, and shape
our earthly tabernacle true to the
designs traced upon lifes great Trestle
Board.
2nd. That while cherishing his
memory in our hearts, and comr ending
his sodl unto God who gt.ve it,
k we forget not that a wounu deeper
m than ours, a sorrow greater than
H ours, a grief that only time and the
* Great Physician can heal, is borne by
the stricken family of our departed
brother. So mote it be.
3rd. That a copy of these resolu'
* tions be spread on the minutes ofDalcho
Lodge, and one to the county
paper to be published, and one to his
family.

BANK YOUR MONEY AND
BOOST TOBACCO MARKET
Vigorous Plana Being Put in Operation
for Marketing State's Crop.
J
/ Florence Times.
Putting into vigorous operation
4 plans to market the South Carolina to
^ bacco crop this year, several thousand
attractive posters have been
printed by the South Carolina Tobacj|
co Association, for distribution
w among the tobacco growers of this
* section. Those posters will be distributed
through the Chamber of
Commerce, banks, the county agents,
by mail and by tacking on trees, billboards,
fences posts and any other
place where the tobacco growers may
see them. They carry the following
message:
"Help the Tobacco Market."
"1st. By leaving your money in
your bank?There 1s little help to be
had from the North on account of
the money stringency, so the local
banks and local farmers must hold
up the markets. If you do not leave
money in bank*, market ia sure to
fall seriously.
"2nd. Do not rush Tobacco to the
Market?Cufe your Tobacco bright
and bulk down till they bleach. Only
/Bright Tobacco will sell good.
"8rd. If prices fall below reason,
Withhold your Tobacco from the Market.
"4th. Join the South Carolina Tobacco
Association?And do your part
tu keep up the prices."*
PBcnfnirtnff the critical financial
condition of the nation end the importance
of the successful marketing
of the tobacco crop the expert organizers
have been assigned to this territory,
to assist in the marketing of
the coming crop. These two men are
from the Extension Department of
Clemson College. They are assigned
particularly to the South Carolina
Tobacco Growers Association. They
have established headquarters in
Florence, where they may be reach-J
ed by any growers or section, who
desire their service. Applications
should be made through the Chamber
of Commerce to reach them.
Tobacco authorities concur in the
opinion that this industry never before
has faced such a test in South
Carolina, because of the present
stringency of the money market. The
independent buyers are in danger of
b';ing forced out of the field, leaving
the crop and flowers to the mercy of
the two or three big companies which
contribute the tobacco monopoly, or
trust. After an important conference
and through discussion of the
situation, all authorities agree that
the program outlined in the posters,
which have been printed, is the only
possible means of saving the tobacco
growers of South Carolina from
tremendous losses in the coming season.
