' August 14, 1910, the white winged ^
angel of death visited and cast a
bloom over the home of Mr. Laurie

than six years. ?
Through these short years most A

?ar- she lived, but most of all in the * '
lal" church and Sunday-school where she 0
*rs* carefully instructed that class of lit- * '
tie boys, impressing upon their minds ^
the noble lives they might lead. n
She was a consistent member of
Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church from b
at early childhood, ever faithful to her n

the years an earnest and instructive v
t0 teacher. ~

Good Meeting at Black Creek.
Dear Editor: It affords me great
leisure to inform you of the sucess
of a series of meetings just
losed at Black Creek church, Colston
county. This is one of our
Idest country churches. The meetag
began on the fifth Sunday in
uly with Rev. 0. J. Frier, of Barnerg,
to preach for us. There was
reat interest manifest from the
rst, and ere the meeting closed,
wenty-nlne had confessed faith in
ur Lord and were baptized into
he fellowship of the church on the
cn,ii/*ov in Aiumst. when the
IOC U UUUUJ 1U
leeting came to a close.
I don't know when I have had a
rother pastor to assist me in a
leeting with whom I felt more in
armony than with Bro. Frier. Our
iews seemed to coincide prefectly.
tro. Frier has no cut-and-dried methds
of conducting his meeting, a
act which I heartily appreciate. I
m sure the secret of success was
1 the simple gospel sermons.
Having known Bro. Frier in Floria,
as we were both pastors there,
; was, indeed, a great pleasure to
ave him with me now. If any of
ur pastors should be so fortunate
s to secure Bro. Frier for a meetlg
I am sure they will never regret
We especially appreciate the
resence of Mrs. Frier, and the
dded pleasure her music afforded.

"OLD TIMER" WRITES.
The Weather is Hot but the Crops
are Growing Right Along.
Wanderer's Rest, August 16.?
How hard is life to an old farmer now.
Hot, hot Is not the name for it, and
were it not for a soft breeze to fan
his cheeks now and then he would
feel like hot potatoes, small ones at
that, as he goes to the field where
hte hands are pulling fodder, or picking
peas, or cutting wood, the same
sad strain of woe comes from all.
"Cap, quite hot," and as the old man
wipes the perspiration from his face
on his shirt sleeve, lifts his hat tc
ventilate his head, a head that is
so heated it feels at least three
sizes too big for his hat, he tries
to smile, but only a try. Says ?
few words of cheer to them and goes
to the next, not a song of bird tc
lighten the burden of his soul nor ?
breeze to cool his furrowed face anc
the sunbeams dancing to the tuns
of one hundred or more degrees, hh
spirit broken by the intense heat o:
these dog-days, he happens to re
member the promised time whei
there shall not be any heat or an]
cold. Then from this reverie h<
awakes to see the fields green anc
the leaves upturned to the sun, thi
cotton blooms converting the field:
in one vast flower garden, and i
partridge calling co his mate "Bol
White," the locust singing his lonj
but unpleasant song, the old mai
stops in that same hot sun, sees s<
much beauty, the heat is forgotten
he hastens to his home, a much coole
man, and there the verbena, a fev
roses, the dahlias, lillies, all meet hii
gaze with a smile and proclaims i
wellcome for him found no when
else, then, is he calm and serene
hunts hie favorite old chair, light
his pipe of peace. Still he ruminate
and as the days that are past comi
again he remembers hotter spells an<
poorer crops and far more sickness
So all is well and no prospect for i
famine in the land, and it takes ho
sun to mature the crops, and tin
the peel of the luscious peach, and thi
health giving apple and ripen thi
watermelon, that is so crisp and rei
and melting, as the old man puts i
spoonfull of the high prized fruit ii
his mouth. So every season has it
delights. Soon the heat will be over
the harvest will come, and the ol<
man's sadness will be turned int
joy. The bams all full, the hard
ships of the year forgotten, ne^
plans made for tne next crop. Ama
will come and around the cheerfu
fires will youth and beauty, and littl
boys and girls, the old man with hi
fiddle have mirth, music, laughte
and songs, and the madam will lool
on in dismay and ask the happy
light hearted old fellow if he ha
, lost his mind, much to the amuse
ment of the bright-eyed lasses wh
hear it.
, Thus it has been, so it will be
and there is joy to the man tha
sees it, for all nature sings and pre
claims it everywhere. Yes, soon coc
nights and pleasant days will come
' and with them the little violet witi
blue eyes and bright smiles will giv
a charm and welcome no other flow
er gives, and the mocking bird wil
sing his sweet song and the dog-day
of 1910 will be only a memory
Every season has its 'duties as we]
as charm, now is the time to prepar
the land and sow turnips and ruta
bagas, to get a stand prepare th
land thoroughly, sow the seed in i
furrow three or four inches deep
cover them lightly and walk on th
seed, taking care to press the sol
from one end of row to other. Th
sun will not kill the tender plants
and having moist soil will grow muc!
nicer. Gradually fill the furrow a
the plants grow and a crop is as
sured.

THE OIL WELL SHOOTER,
i Sometimes Blown into Eternity With
\
His Own Ammunition.
In certain of the petroleum produc,
ing districts it becomes necessary
I sometimes in opening an oil well?
t sometimes when the well has become
1 clogged or apparently ezhausted?to
; begin or renew the flow by exploding
> nitroglycerin at the botton of the well.
. This explosive is employed because it *
i explodes readily by the dropping of

Prohibition Has Done Good.
To the Voters of Bamberg County
and the State at large: ^
As the Democratic primary is near
at hand and we will soon be called
upon to cast our ballot for those who
are to fill our county and State off
flees, will you bear with me a little
. while and hear mv views as to the
i way I think we, as a prohibition
7 people, ought to vote? First of all, , -, \
3 don't let us get the idea into our
1 heads that we have already got pro3
hibition and there's nothing else to
3 do, for if we do we are wrong. The
l fight is only well begun and the
5 whiskey element are not near ready
? to give up yet, in fact they are just
3 beginning to get scared enough to
3 get their fighting gloves on good,
and being slick ducks they are go- . >
r ing to put up a pretty nasty fight
v before it is done with.
8 One of their schemes is to put
! enough good, strong, smart local ope
tion men in the field to fool the
(> people and win a part of the dry vote,
.
3 Kiiuwiiig Luau ii luc lutai uytiuuisio
s should win that there would be some'
e of the counties that would go back
3 to the old dispensary system because
taxes are a little higher and because
i they haven't kept down blind tigers,
t Many a man would vote for prohibi- %
t tion if he knew it would prohibit, 4
e but he says its no use, you can't keep,
e it out; but he doesn't stop to think
3 why it is not kept out nor who is '
a to blame for it not being kept out,
a when he is himself to blame in more ^
s ways than one. He won't help to
, locate and rout out the tigers and he
1 won't vote to put the negligent, low0
principled men out of office whose
I- duty it is to enforce the laws. Now
v that we have got prohibition the 4
s next thing to do is to throw those
1 men out of office who are against us
e and be very, very careful to know .
s how those stand that we put in.
r I asked a candidate the other day
k how he stood, and he told me he
was as strong a prohibitionist as
;-'#4
s they make 'em. I said: "I don't T
(- think you are," and he looked at me ;
o in surprise and said: "What do you
mean; I never drank any liquor in
?, my life and have always worked
t and voted against it. I thought you
i- knew that." I am a stronger prohibi 1
tionist than you, because I won't vote <
for a man if I know it kind can help *
h myself that is against us." Now I
. ? ..i a
e may want to run ior omce myveu
some day and if I should this would
11 be mighty apt to be brought up'
s against me, and might hurt my
\ chances some, but I can't help that
11 I am made out of just that kind of
e stuff and will say just what I think.
I had to vote for a whiskey man
e once to keep from losing my vote for <
a a prohibitionist, and it went mightily
>, against the grain, but it couldn't be
e helped, as there were only three
11 running, and we had to vote for two.
e Don't misunderstand me and think
j, thaf I dislike all men that are not
b on my side. On the other hand, I
s have some very warm friends who are
h not with me, and in the coming
election I am going to vote against ^
d some men that I would like very J
e much to vote for because they are
t, smart men and men of ability, but ,
e we don't see alike and I don't want
them to be placed where they can
o n?p their smartnes and ability against
e our cause, and therefore I can t vote
vv?
for them.
I think the Law and Order Leagues J
a all over the State and the prohibitionists
every where should look, at
it as I do and vote as a unit for
y those men only, for each and every
I office, who will help our cause, and
- no matter how good a friend a fellow
is to you nor how much ability
i he has, if he is against us, put him ^
e out and keep him out.
3 Some say you can't have prohibition
'till you stop the railroads
- from hauling it into dry territory,
e No, but if we will follow that plan
t of putting only clean, honest pro- *
- hibitionists in office when enough of
e the United States get dry we will
- have strength enough in congress to *
:, pass laws to keep the railroads from
hauling it into dry territory. That is
i. all foolishness to say we can't have
prohibition. Any fool with a thimble
t full of sense knows that we have
5 no law but what is violated more or ?
- less and why should prohibition prov
hibit absolutely when hanging won't *
s prohibit killing absolutely, and if he
3 has got that much sense, he can see
3 that prohibition has done good in
