Lauds Qbristian Faith. i Washington, Jufy 1.—The funeral address of Dr. Joseph R. Sizoo over the bier of William Jennings Bryan in part follows: Some years ago—it seems only like yesterday—Mr. Bryan delivered a lec ture to a group of some 500 college students in a mid-western college. His theme- Was, ‘The Value of an Ideal.” He spoke with that amazing clarity which so characterized all his address es not only of the place of an ideal in life but also of the various ideals which men may hold, and then that highest of ail ideals—Christian ser- Vjce. ' ^ . '• How profoundly he moved chat group of young men, Mr. Bryan never knew. There was one student in thaf service for whom he changed the whole prograih of his life. This stu dent was a freshman at college that year with the plan of preparing for some professiopal career. The plea for Christian 'service, made by this great heart of faith, never left him and following that urge he later enter ed the Christian ministry. I was that student. That stirring plea marked the beginning of a whole new attitude to life, and} l bring my testimony to the memory of a man who never kneav how greatly ie had changed that life. Surely it - ift < unique that as he lies here dea/1 among us, 1 -should bear my witness to his influence in this most solemn hour. How strange are the ways of God, and how otherwise from our desires. Had it been given to us to control the affairs of life, how different would | ' • it have been. Earth can ill-spare such ( RENNO STAR© . noble souls. His nobility was so! rpQ GIVE PLAY striking, his Sincerity was so genuine,! 1 ^ his personality was so winsome, and j . his faith s® serene, that we had hoped • Mirandy s Minstrel To Be Staged shroud seemed to end everything. Derfi was the last chapter and the etemkl farewell, the night that haa no day-break. Men buried their dead with their faces toward'the west foi: the last q. nset had gone over them. On the tombs of the dead they carVed the skull and crois-bones. Among the ancient Hebrews, old age was a sign of a particular benevolence for it meant that postponement of the last dread day. Then came Jesus of Nazareth. He gave the world a new hope and greeted night with a new song) saying that dusk will bring day break and that at . eventide there will be light. When a broken heart sob bed out its woe to him, he only re plied: “Thy brother is not dead, he will arise again.” When He arose again from the dead and ascended he called back over the battlements of heaven to all his followers: “Because I live, ye too shall live also.”. ^ " Somewhere beyond, life still runs on without the imperfections*and im pediments of this life. We bury our dead with their faces to the east for sunrise eternal has broken over their souls Where “Nearer, my 1 God to Thee” is no longer a hymn of hope but an ever-lasting experience. “Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me; And may there ,be no moaning of the bar, When I set out to sea. “For thou from out the bourne of time and place, .The floods may bear me far, I hope to see ni^ pilot face to face, When I have cros^eJ the bar.” God bless and hallow the heritage and memory of William Jennipgs Bryan. to have him longer' with us. W'e seem to need him so. But God willed otherwise; and until the day break, when shadows flee away we’re kneel ing in submission to pray, “Father, Thy will be done.” The end came quickly^ He did *not suffer; he did not know pain. A merciful Providence guarded over that hour. Serenely and in the home of a friend he made his last great venture of faith on the first day of the \veek which, to the Christian, is tho un forgettable symbol of the resurrect ion. » To this broken family circle, whose Jays have so suddenly and sadly turn ed to sorrow and lonliness, the sympa thy and prayers of the nation go out. We commend them to the Good Shep herd who keopeth watch over' His own. We fchall see him again, for such a life cannot die. I like to believe that'somewhere in tHkt better coun try where the sun goes not flown, where twilight breaks into eternal dawn, where Goi wipes away all tear^ from our eyes, where there is no pain, and where flowers fade not away, he is still carrying on with the same swe®t faith and same noble spirit into an ever growing fullness and likeness of his God and our God.

B. CANNON, County Agent o ♦♦♦♦♦ooooooooooooooooooooo GERMAN MILLET FOR FORAGE On account of the shortage of for age crops in Laurens county, a num ber of farmers have come to my office inquiring as to what might be planted to relieve the situation. I have suggested to them to plant some German Millet. German Millet is considered to be one of our best hay plants. In analysis it is superior to timothy in food value and is one of the easiest grasses to cure of this family of plants. • The only objection that we have to German Millet is that the crop draws heavily on the soil for plant food, and comes nearer im poverishing the soil than most any hay crop. Millet should be grown on fertile soil and well fertilized. It produces good on well drained bottom land, as the plants will yellow up and die on any but well drained lands. The yield on such land runs up as high as three to four tqns per acre. Soil Preparation * The soil should be prepared.like a garden, whicl^means a finely-pulver ized seed bed. This preparation, to give the best results, should be a few weeks in advance of seeding. The reason for this is that the German Millet seed _ar,£.very small, about the size of turnip seed, and requires a very fine seed bed. Fertilization Most growers apply from 600 to 1000 pounds of cotton seed meal and 200 to 400 pounds of acid phosphate. Potash is seldom used under millet, except on very sandy soils. The fer tilizer may be broadcast by hand and then thoroughly ^disked in with disc or cutaway harrow. The fertilizer should not be plowed in during the preparation as most of the feeding roots of millet are found ih the first three or four inches of the soil, and plowing under the fertilizer might place it too deep for best results. Seeding the Crop . Millet may be planted at any time after the soil is thoroughly warm trp to the first of August. The seed may be sown through a cyclone seed sovver, but if you do not have the machine the land should be laid off in checks, as for alfalfa, and the seed sown one- half across the field, crossed with the other half. If the seed bed is thor oughly prepared from four to five pecks, if not, thoroughly prepared a bushel and a half of seed is sown per acre. The seed should not be covered over an inch to an inch and a half deep, on clay lands shallow covered, and on sandy lands slightly “deeper. The smoothing harrow with the teeth set an angle forty-five degrees Is a good implement to use for the pur pose of covering the seed. Harvesting the Crop German Millet should be harvested as soon as the plants aae in full bloom. There is some danger in feed ing -stock on the hay after seed have ripened as it has an irritating effect on the kidneys of stock. The crop matures seed of good vitality in this country, and they could be made a source of revenue if grown for the market. The seed are easily saved. After maturity the seed may be har- | vested with a grain binder and thrashed as other grains. Two crops of hay may be harvested from Ger man Millet if the first cutting is made before the blooms appear. This is not advised though, unless you use heavy applications of a top dresser to prevent depletion of the soil. Ger man Millet is usually harvested in about seventy days from seeding. nmy take It as >e* part of the re sponsibility of receiving to show the ladies to the_room reserved far their wraps.
