As the train steamed Into the Son church bells thruoijt the city ?Je tolled. A Wide place hud been Seared abort the station and the thousands of people assembled there ft*?! back respectfully. The President, followed by Secretary ami Mrs. MeAdoo, Mr. and Mrs Sayre Miss Wilson. Prof. Axson and other near relatives and meinlvers of the ? par ? uul.klv left the train and entered their carriages. The procession then moved through black draped streets to the First Presbyterian church. More than S(K) relatives and friends of the Wilson and Axson families were already gathered in the quaint little u rcli where Mrs. Wilson used to at S hen her father. Kev Edward S. Axson was pastor there. The church wan <1 raped In black, with Intertwln ' Id wreaths of white flowers. On one wall was a white marble tablet to the memory of Mrs. Wilson's father. Banks of fl&vers vyere plied high about tin* catafalque upon which the casket was placed. Ak the President entered, following tiie casket, Chopin's funeral march was played softly on the organ. A simple short service was conducted by Rev C. <!. Sydnor, the local pastor. The President, his daughters, Secreta ry McAdoo. and Mr. Sayre occupied the front pew In the center, and back - of them were other members of the family. l>octor Grayson and, other members of the family. Two old-fash ioned hymns, girlhood favorites of Mrs. Wilson, were sung by the church choir. Rev. Dr. Sydnor then read briefly from the scriptures and spoke of the beauty and charity of Mrs. Wilson's life. As soon as- the church service was ended the casket was carried to the waiting hearse and the short journey to Myrtle 11111 cemetery was begun. School girls, dressed in white and hold ing aloft laurel branches, stood in Hue along either side of - the streets thru which the procession passed. Behind them were thousands of i>eople. with bared heads bowed, silent and sorrow ful. The, entire city was draped Ifi fu neral black. The cortege was close to the cerne tery when rain begun to fall. The storm rapidly grew worse the down pour soon becoming torrential. A tent erected over the gravfc gave par tial shelter to the little family group hut the thousands of people who came to witness*, the burial were without protection. Services at the grave were brief and marked by Impressive. simplicity. ? The President stood with head bowed- as the final rites were performed. As he stood there with his daughters, Mr. Wilson made no effort to control his grief. As the hushed voice of the preacher read the burial service, the President's form was visibly shaken by his strong emotion, and the tears streamed unchecked down bis cheeks. Others of the party wept silently, soft ly. When the final benediction was pronounced the President slowly re turned to his carriage. His eyes were as those of one da Bed, but his step was firm and his face was stem and set. ? After the casket was lowered to its final resting place and the grave filled, vast heaps of flowers, the tribute of the Notion, were piled high over the tomb. On the way to the cemetery the pro fession passed the hotise where Mrs. Wllgon lived as a girl, and another ,spot above the banks of the Etowah River where the tradition has it that she promised to become the fdture President's bride. Nearby .was a stat ue to the Women of tbe South, the in scription on which was written by the President a few years ago. On every side were scenes which recalled vividly , to him the days of his young manhood find sweet memories of her who now lies in a grave in her old home. President Wilson remained by the Krave of his wife until the casket, had ' "een completely covered with concrete ?nd steel. At' the head of the grave there stands a plain, white stone, bear ing the names of Mrs. Wilson's father ?nd mother. It -Ik- understood the President will later have a larger man nment erected. As the President returned to his prl- : vate 0Rr jmsse<j between double hues of National Guardsmen standing attention with their arms at "pre sent." Several of Mrs. Wilson's form ? 2L schoolmates were greeted by M*". ii 1 as stood bareheaded out R?ae his ear. The special train left a nnte or two after six o'clock and soon afterward the Presid?nt retired K>r the nlRbt.

It took two young lady stenographers several days to copy the llsti and 11 took more than a day for the Morgun thaler man to net them up.

This list jMisses.srs a valuable fund of information In that It con tains the full name of every voter In the county, and this copy or the paper should be preserved for future refer ence. Should anyouo discover any thing wrong in the pluclng of the names, Mr. L. T. Mills should be noti fied, ? "Charlie Pleasant Washington Sul livan" Is probably the longest name on | the list, with "Stanford Wellington van Landlnghain.." a close second. "Jeff (jlll.." is probably- the Shortest. There is a grand total of i;, 7 17 names and of this number 008 'could not sign their names (a strong argu ment in favor of compulsory educa tion. > The names of four liegroes apjiear on the rolls as democratic voters. A Voter, on the Swift ('reek club bears the name of "Manning Siiums Irby" ? the names of three candidates for governor in the present race.

Lights Off Again. Through what the Power Company c hi tins is a "mistinderstandOig" be tween the Commissioners of Public Works and themselves, the current was discontinued Wednesday night and the business houses and residences have had to make out with lamp lights. We have not been*al>le to learn why the ser vice was discontinued other than there was a "misunderstanding." It is rum ored though that the current was con tracted for at one price and the Pow er Company wants to make a higher charge and the Commissioners refused to pay. It will be good news to the citizens to know that Mr. Harrison of the Tucker & Lax ton Co. is making every effort to have the new plant ready to commence business by Saturday night. Probably the citizens who pay. for their service will not be compelled to suffer by having their lights cut off e^ery month or two through "misun derstandings.." and it will be a relief when the city can have a dependable lighting service. Schools to Open Sept. 7. The Camden Graded Scliols will open Monday morning Sept. 7 at 9 o'clock. A list of the new books to be used may be obtained from Mr. C. W. Birch more and as usual these books will be on sale at his store. ? . Prospects for a successful school year are bright. However, the earnest efforts that the entire teablilng force promise, will be in vain unless sup ported by the hearty cooperation of each and every patron. Therefore the parents are urged to enter their child ren In school on the first day and do all In their power to have them present each day of the session. Further, pa rents and friends are cordialy invited to' visit the school nt anytime that they may note the progress of the child ren and discuss their welfare with the teachers. In short, that they may be come acquainted with the school. The more Intimate such, an acquaintance, the more successful the approaching year will be. Richard F. Simpson. Supt. Good News From Mr. Smith. Editor Chronicle: I wish to say to my friends in this county that my cam paign is progressing in a most satis factory manner. The attitude of cer tain newspapers toward my candidacy does not cause the slightest anxiety. This attack Is manifestly so unfair and unjust that It Is having just the oppo site effect intended. The people of this state are not going to submit to this ? plain attempt at ring rule and bosslsm. Judging from the reception I am receiving everywhere, unless there Is JL most decided change I confidently expect to receive the nomination. I want to tharik you again for your great ; kindness to me in the past and for your i cordial assurance of support in this contest. Respectfully yours. Mendel L. Smith. ? and Mr**. I,.

Editor C'hroulcle : Wo realize that the many campaign meetings wtllob are l>etng held in the ?tate are taking up much of the .farmer* time ami we think it only right that tin* farmera Should attend ait of their cumpulfcu meetings. At the same time, we would direct the attention of your reudera to the fuet that the farmers institutes which are hooii to 1m? held In your roun ty must uIho have tiielr attendance, no matter how many meetings they may huve had to go to before. Clemsoi) College haa gone to much luhor and e?|>eiiHe to send out these institute purtle*. Never In the hlatory of feho College have such competent und mature men beei) sent to the farm ers. Everything that they will say haa been carefully workwi out und design-" ed with the view of giving the niost practical help tolhe farmers of South Carolina. I believe that the farmers of the state owe It to themselves to attend these institute meetings. One of these meetings has frequently been worth hundreds of dollars to a farmer who attended them. The tlnie lx especially opportune for the farmers und the ag ricultural experts of the Htate to get together and .talk with each other, since the boll weevil Is fusft' hpproach Ing iiml we must learn how to meet him. , 1 wish every fanner who reads this would consider himself |>ersonully In vited and would also Invite his neigh bors to attend the meeting nearest them. The meetings are for the farm ers. Let the farmers l>e for the meet- 1 lugs. W. W.Long, Stute. Agent and Director of Exten sion, Clemson College.

Editor The Chronicle: The world came to reallee that the bodies of men should not be held in slavery and where the Individual fail ed to free his slaves, governments did It. This world has also realised that the minds of men must not remain in the slavery of illiteracy, and so far as this freedom can be given by attend ance at schools, the enlightened nations and nearly all the states of this .union are removing the shackles that bind the citizen to a life In which he cannot figure up his earnings, read of the deeds of his fellowman and the word of his God. ? From Maine to California, officials in each state write that compulsory education laws are advancing th^ cause of education and meeting with the approval of the i>eople ? often the very people who fought sucfy laws. . Hon. Payson Smith, Supt. Public Schools of the State of Maine, in a letter of May 28tli says : I am positive that the progress of education in Maine has been favored by the exis tence of a compulsory education law." And what about California? The State Superintendent replying in a letter of Jnne 18th. says in part: "Yes, the schools have made much greater progress under the compulsory attendance law than they did before. In this state the theory is that we must educate every child. Then there is one way to do this and that is to see that every child attends school. He may attend a private school or he may get his education at home through private tutors. But he must get it. And we go further. We give out the money on the attendance. The district that keeps up a good attendance gettf more money than it would if the at tendance was low. This means that teachers and school 1 officers and even the parents and children do all they can to see that the children attend school." * E. H. Blake. Greenwood, S. C., Aug. 13. *)' p ? Married.

L ~ r.V i ii ii wiwfc COTTON DISEASE SPREADS ?? ? . Has Entered Piedmont andWill Go to Coastal Plain. (')oiiimoii College, August 4. Cotton wilt Is pushing its way with certainty Into parts ??f South Carolina In which It was never expcrlneced before ami, front rv|M?rtK which are coming to (lie botttlty division of the South Carolina Experiment Station, the disease Is more widespread and more destructive this season than It has ever been he fore. This in forma* ion was obtained from II. W. Barre, botanist and plant pathologist, who says that this destruc tive disease sihmus to Ih? spreading grad ually Into the i'ltslmont section of the state. Within the past few weeks the Oijllege has received specimens of dis eased plants sent in from Iloueu Path, Greenwood and Silver Street. Wilt seems now to occur on the majority of the farms In, the coastal plain. "Cotton wlit," says Prof. Barre, "Is recognized by blackened tissues found on the insbh^ of the wilting or dead plants. Where cotton Ik dying, split the stem o|>en and if there are dark streaks In the- Wood or -Just beneatll the bark, the disease Is wilt. "The fungus which causes cotton wilt will live In the soil Indefinitely ami anything which carries soil from the infected areas to other parts of tile farm will spread the disease. Plows and other implements ufeed in plowing a field where the disease occurs should l>e thoroly cleaned before being carried to a Held ^v here the disease not oceur. The disease may also be carried In drainage water. "If wilt Is occurring for the tirst time on your farm and is confined to small areas, pull up and destroy the diseased plants. Guard against Its fur ther spread by making sure that no soli or drainage water Is carried from the diseased areas to other parts of the farm. If you want to plant cotton again on laud where the disease oc cur#, ask your county demonstration agent or write to the botany division of Clemson College about wilt resistant seed, . The Dixie slid the Dillon varie ties of cotton are Immune to wilt and we are cooperating with a number of breeders in improving tl\ese varieties and keeping them pure." Splendid results have l?een obtulned from the cotton wilt work being done by Clemson College. L. O. Watson, who has charge of this work under the direction of Prof. Barre, made much progress during the last year In breeding wilt - reslstent strains. As a result of this work, thousands of acres which would otherwlsebe unpro ductive are now being put In cotton." In 1910 a farmer of Barnwell county made 9 bales of cotton on 45 acres with non-reslstent varieties. His land was badly infested with wllt% Dur lng the last two years, using wilt-re slstent varieties, he has produced 45 balas each year on tin sume 45 i??:ro.-?, having increased his yield tire fold. Kershaw New* Notes. (From The Era.) Webster Gregory, o?

That corn will thrive hi the Mouth and that It run be made a prohiabh* crop (or tin* farmer. is best uiu trat? .i t)y t he re|>brt BUd(> r?*<eutly by Coin mlssloner of Agriculture R. J. Watx.n of South Carolina. Thbi report shoe k that the production of coru per acre In South Carolina wan hut two bushel* less than the average for the Uulted Stutes. This year South Carolina has left Missouri and Nebraska l>ehtud and the product on Is within six hushels per acre cpiuj>ared with the crops raised In Illinois. Last year's corn crop In South Car olina was ahout id, (MM> hushels more than during 1012. Commissioner Wut sou estlmatcH the crop as being about 40.000. .,000 bushels. The Federal government figures show the h verage yield i>er acre In South Carol I nu for the year 1013 was *20 bush els per acre, which Is a guln of two bushels |>er acre over the yeur beftire. The Federal experts figure the crop at about IIH.lHMI.lMX) bushels. Q In the matter of quality of corn raised the Federal oxjiorts, oii a hasls of loo as the average, give South Car olina corn a rating of 102, in the mat ter of farm prices the government gives the figures at Sl.O.'l per hnshel. In only two other states- in the Union do higher prices prevail for corn. The average price for corn In the United States during the last few months was about per bushel. This being true the net return to South Carolina farmers for their corn will la? more than to growers In other states where the acreage wtts larger and the yield greater. The raid-Out Negro Meanest of All. We are Inclined to sympathize with tile <>I<1 negro preacher in Aiken coun* ty who Hays that- in nearly every case tiM? disturbances at negro churches and negro hot sup|>ers arc caused by ne grot's who have been paid out of court si-raiH's l>y whit? men. He declares that if the white |?eople would let the law take its course when negroes get |nto the clutches of t lie law the negro race and the white people would be much better off. / There is undoubtedly a great (leal of truth in this. About the meanest negro we know of is the one who has been paid out of the Jail by a white man. He la ar roganf j\nd Insolent In nearly' erery* case, aha from this standi>olnt he has good reason for being so. He feels that a white man is hack of him, the white man has protected him In one trouble and will protect him in future trouble, because he has money Invested in htm. Thus the mean negro's evil tendency Is Increased many fold and he itecomes a menace to the communi ty In which he abides, a menace to the whites and blacks alike. , The negro who I h "bought'' out of Jail or from the chalngang Is a hind rance to every good policy. The man "buys" his labor for less than he would have to pay honest und law-abiding la borers, and this is an Injustice to the other employers ; while the criminal negro, working for low wages for the man who has paid his flne^ works a hardship on law-abiding laborers In that he tends to lower their wages. And on top of It all, he Is always clvlly disposed and fcbls presence makes for the demobilisation of those with whom he comes in contact. Hurely the whole country would be letter off If the practice of paying ne groes out of court scraps were put an end to, either by lnw or by force of public sentiment, and we tbhik the old negro preacher In Aiken county lias rendered a public service by calling at tention to the matter.? lire^ii wood In Then be Home confusion Candidates!
