CLEANERY ll Beautiful Tribute To Aged Negro Employee Judge Milled ge L. Bonham, of Anderuon, has paid a beautiful tribute to the character of Wade Chiles, an aged negro who died recently in Andemon. Uncle Wade wan the bervunfc of John Chiles, who lived at Chiles Crous Road below Bradley and afterwards was body servant of Col. James C. Cothran, of Abbeville. Judge Bonham'a tribute was published in the Anderson Mail Saturday and follows: Mr. Lditor: It wab a gracious act on your part to write as you did of Wade Chiles, and he deserved nil the good that was said of him. The long years he was in my employ gave me the opportunity to know and understand him. If he had confidence in you he was open and frank, but if he lacked confidence in you, he was secretive and reserved. He belonged as a slave, to the wealthy and prominent family of Chiles, in Abbeville county, this- district. At the outbreak of the war he went out with his young master, John Chiles. When Mr. Chiles was incapacitated by wounds for further service, Wade remained in the service as body servant of Colonel (afterwards judge) James C. Cothran, of Abbeville, who was i? near kinsman of the Chiles family. "At the second battle of Mannassas, Colonel Cothran was wounded in the leg, and Wade carried him to the rear on his back and finally got him to a hospital. I heard Judge Cothran relate this incident forty years before I knew Wade. "In the spring of 1917, after the United States had entered the World War, Wade heard the bugle sound retreat at the recruiting station one evening. This led him to talk of the Confederate War, and when he told me of carrying Col. Cothran from the field of battle, he did not know I Knew of it. I wish I had time and space to give more of his war service. Some of it was amazing, some of it hard and some of it tragic. Throughout it all, he was loyal and faithful to every trust. I have proved it time and again. He was honest as the day was long and was truthful. "The affection of children for him bespeaks his gentle and kindly disposition. The young children of my family were all devoted to him, and he could entertain them by the hour. "His love for horses was great, and his control of them was remarkable. He established an understanding with the horse, and could lead him about and direct and control him by his voice. It was almost uncanny to see how a horse understood what he said to him. He became greatly attached to the horses and was grieved when I sold one, but soon became reconciled and became equally as much attached to the new one. "Some one wrote: "Fame and honor from no conditions rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.' "I think this exemplifies Wad's life. He did well his part in the humble sphere in which his life was cast and he goes to his grave with the respect of the good people of the white race and of his own. "I have been moved to write this "slight tribute to his name, because of my affection for him, and as an acknowledgment of his loyalty to and affection for me." Col Charles R. Forbes, former director of the Veterm<pte Bureau who 'served tw<L years in Leavenworth penitentiary, has been presented with the Distinguished (Service Medal for service in * France. The award was made in 1926 while Forbes was in the penitentiary. Death of Popular Young Matron 1 Lancaster and "Chesterfield people ] were distressed and deeply grieved i when on Sunday morning it became i known Mrs. Lugenia Martin Funder- \ burk, wife of Dr. J.* Reece Funder- t burk, was dead. Many knew that Mrs. Funderburk had been taken to < the Charlotte hospital earlier in the 1 week but it was not generally known < that her condition was critical. Her ] death, which occurred. Saturday < night in the Presbyterian Hospital, 1 Charlotte, was due to a serious heart f affection following a severe attack < of influenza which she suffered sev- < eral years ago. Other complications t were also responsible. Her age is ^ given as thirty-one. 1 ' M*?t Funderburk, who before herl< marriage about ten. years ago, was 1 Misa Lugenia Martin of Monticelto, i Fairfield county, taught in the Lan- \ caster city schools. Always active j in educational and religious matters y he took ? prominent part in the worn- ? ?n's work of the First Baptist church, c in the activities of the Women's Club, c the city schools and in other local 1 organizations.?"Lancaster News. c ^ ? - CORN ON THE COB By A. M. Muaaer, Horticulturist, At C'lcmHon College Who is it that does not like to eat tender eweet corn on the cob?* "rousting ears" hh they are often called? Since so many people like corn on the cob. it seems rather ?trange that ao little good sweet corn U grown in thia atate. Many people seem to he content with young field corn or any kind of young corn. Even when aweet corn car) be had, it is often either too old or haa been pulled ao long that it haa loat most of its aweetneaa. Sweet corn, to be at its best, should be broken from the atulk when it ia in the milky stage. This can be determined by breaking some of the grains with the thumb nail. If u milky substance exudes from these broken grains, it is in the right stage for picking; if too old, the inside of the grain will be thick and in what is called the "dough" stage. Sweet corn loses its sugar content very rapidly after picking, and the higher the temperature the faster this sugar content is lost. The market gardener should pull sweet corn early in the morning and take direct to the customers. The home gardener should pull it just long enough before a meal to husk and cook it. Then sweet corn will be at its best, and a very delicious dish added to our list of summer vegetables. Sweet corn needs to be more widely grown by our home gardeners near our towns and cities. It is one of the cheapest .vegetables that can be grown, and at the same time, one of the most delicious. Give real sweet corn a trial this year. Golden Bantam, Country Gentleman, Black Mexican, and Stowell'-s Evergreen are good varieties.

Coyotes Still a Pest The coyote, a small prairie wolf intermediate between the fox and the gray wolf, is distributed through the Plains country and westward to the Pacific. Wolves have gradually disappeared with the advance of civilization, but not so the coyote. The government finds that except in a few thickly settled regions the coyote has thrived on civilization. Continuous warfare against it, however, is gradually bringing the coyote under control in some sections. The reasons for the persistence of this un$orsirable marauder are various. To begin with, according to the Biological Survey, the coyote is very prolific, and its young are hardy. It is naturally a wary, suspicious animal, and is difficult to trap or poison. The introduction of domestic birds, small pets, and livestock by homesteaders has furnished th<f~ Coyote with a new source of food when hard pressed. Coyotes naturally feed on rabbits, prairie dogs', ground squirrels, and other small rodents, and to some extent benefit agriculture in that way. But, nevertheless, when there is a iearth of these natural foods they will prey on sheep, calves and even jolts and more mature livestock. Poultry falls readily into their dutches. Two or more coyotes often lunt together, especially when attacking larger domestic animals, and consequently do much damage. They lo not quarrel over victims killed by the pack, but feast in family style, which is another trait that contri- j >ute? to maintaining their numbers^, Organized and systematic control measure* agmiust coyotea are con- j itantly advocated-by the government, which in many western states employs trained hunters td co-operate with state, county or local live-stock kseociation# in planning and carrying >ut eradication work.

I "Because they always have the last ^ word and because they carry the news { wherever they go." The correct answer is: "Because every man should have one of his own and not run after his neighbor's." ?Florida Newspaper News.
