Early on-the morning of July .2, 1906, the -death angel visited the home of W W Martin and quietly bore the spirit of his loving wife to fairer realms on high. Mrs Martin, nee Sophxonia Croaby, was the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Green Crosby. She was born March 28, 1873; was married to W W Martin m 1894. At eleven yean of age she united with Mt Tabor Methodist church to which she re mained a consistent member ’till death. Mrs Martin was confined to her bed for several wepk«, bnt bore her suffering with a spirit of meeknen. A lew days before she died she told her husband and little son that she was going to Heaven, to be with her little daughter, Beulah, who wi called away from this world about three years ago, and that she wanted them to meet her there. She leaves together with the bereaved husband and son, an aged father and mother, three brothers and a host of friends to mourn her departure. No more shall we meet Mrs Martin here, but let us not sor. row, u even as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so they also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. v The funeral services were con ducted by Rev J P Graham. The remains were interred at Doctor’s Creek Cemetery. A sweet breath adds to the joys of a kiss You wouldn’t want to kiss your wife, mother or sweetheart with a bad breath.

The Colleton County Methodist Sunday School Conference convened in its fourth annual session July 13, 1906, at Little Swamp chnrch, Presi dent J D Risher in the chair. A goodly number of delegates, thwest of Fort Sunday School superintendents, preachers, and visitors were present. Everybody was anticipating an en joyable time and to the best of onr knowledge and judgment, they were not disappointed. The speeches were generally good> no earnest Sunday school workers could have failed to get many help ful suggestions in regard to this im portant work. The address of Hon Jas E Peurifoy was particularly good. Dinner was served on the grounds so that all might be present at the beginning ol the afternoon session. Saturday was showery, but a large crowd was present nevertheless. The afternoon session was marked by a sharp debate on the question of “Decision Day," by Revs K P Hut son and W 8 Goodwin on one side sqd Brother Brown of Cross Swamp on the other aide. Both sides were ably supported and every one j>recent had opportunity to decide in his or her mind as to the wisdom of “De cision Day!” Reports from some schools were gratifying indeed. May the time speedily come when every community in this county will be blessed by a model Sundav school. The questoo, “How may this con ference be made more uaetol,” brought out many valuable sugges tions. One was that we secure, if possible, the services of Prof and Mrs H M Hamill at our next session. A resolution to that effect was unani moosly adopted. All the old officers were re-elected to serve another year. HonJasE Peurifoy very kindly invited the conference to bold its next session in ^ Walterboro, and the invitation was gratefully accepted. benbe.

O ♦ O ' - Letter. Frem Q. W. Way, Mlggstoa, t Oa. Editor'Press and Standard: Ac cording to promise, I will write again. 8ome time ago the Ron W C Brant wrote a letter on “immigration.” He thought it right for the people to consider the movement from every standpoint I will give you my opinion about it, though it may not be worth much. In the first plane the Southern people are the happiest people in the world today. Why? Because their country is not flooded out with this undesirable element of immigrants who are passing into the United states annually by the mil lions. YVith few exceptions, the im migrants that come to our shores are the akum of all nations of the Old World. Again, after awhile when they have been citizens of the United States long enough, they will hare the same right to the ballot box m we have, and they know nothing about onr American laws and I fear, will care leas. Coupled with tyranny and superstition and with hatred to Christianity in all of onr institutions, they will be found to be an element more to be dreaded than the negro was thirty or forty years ago. Today we have nothing to fear with the negroes, we know them and they know us. On the whole, they %re pretty good citizens generally. With the coming of our new neighbors they are all sorts and all colors. You can’t tell whether they &re«white, black or yellow Again, what will be the ad vantage of their ooming? Who will they benefit? I admit that there are lots of undeveloped land in the State* bnt as the Southern states, out side of the manufacture of cotton, are not engaged to a very great extent in that line of business, hence these immi grants would go to the cotton fields to the injury of tee cotton planter. Cotton can hardly be kept up to 10 cents with the scarcity of labor. Fill the cotton growing states with plenty of labor and you will make five and six cents cotton. The scarcity of labor is providential to the man that raises cotton. This may seem strange to some people, but study the situa tion carefullv for yourself and I tniuk you will come to the same con clusion that I have. G. W.
