Mrs W. W. Manta.
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. You can’t have a sweet breath
without a healthy stomach. You can't
have a healthy stomach without perfect
digestion. There Is only one remedy
that digests what you eat and makes the
breath as sweet as a rose—and that
remedy is KODOL FOK DYBPK^BIA.
It la a relief f >r sour stomach, palpita
tion of the heart, and olhei ailments
arising from disorder of the stomach and
digestion. Take a little Kodol after your
meals and see what it will do for you.

COLLBTON CO. 8. C. CONFERENCE
to Meet at
Walterboro Next Year.
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.

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. Way.
