Edward .^Leiu-h Crosby. If he had lived until July 1st he would have been seven years old. V 0 He was a sweet and loving child, and it was so hard to have to pgrt with him, when the cords of love wa- so tightly and sun ly drawn. But we have to submit to the will of our Heavenly l ather who doeth all things we|!. Yet it was so hard to givi him up. Init what a comforting thought to know that he's safe where we are all striving to go when our journey is ended here. Jc.-'U' said “KutTer little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Right here Is enough to console father and mother. He suffered untold agonies for five long weeks with that dreadful dis ease pneumopia. All was done for him that medical skill and loving hands could do, hut to no avail, for God had need of him in heaven where there is no more sickness nor suffering, but joys unto the end. Yet, while we can’t see his smiling face, nor hear his pattering foot steps, his blessed memory still ling ers in our hearts and in the sweet bye and bye we shall meet to part no more. He was laid to rest in Old Field cemetery beside loved ones and friends, there to await the great resurrection morn. The funeral ser vice was conducted by Rev O L Dur ant, assisted by Rev B R Ulmer. Asleep in Jesus, far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But thine is still a blessed sleep. From which none ever wakes to weep. - Mama. period extends from July 10 to Octo- UNION MEN.

Let the moths will perish in attempting to members attend as largely as possi- come to the surface of thopmound or ^| e earth. The mound should be left door- about the tree until October 15, which will prevent female moths from other orchards, and any possi ble ones that may have escaped, from laying their eggs on the moist por tion of the trees. Many of the eggs laid higher up on the trunks of the trees will never hatch, and the larva of any that may hatch can easily be destroyed by carefully going over the orchard with a knife later in the ity. fall. After October 15 the mounds may be removed and the upper por tion of the roots uncovered during the winter, in order to destroy any borers by exposure should the weath er be sufficiently cold. This method has been tried in several orchards in South Carolina and found to work admirably. By following these few simple sug- g nations we will be able to improve tie quality and quantity of our fruit besides adding greatly to the protec tion of our orchard. 4 W. A.

Editor Press and Standard: Please allow me space in your pa per for a few remarks. 1 want to •ay to the voters of Colleton county I will not be able to go around to see them. I have so much grass in my cotton crop on account of so much rain I will have to stay at home and get the grass out of it. Now, friends, I have served you nearly two years. 1 have not done mr.ch for the county. Why? Because 1 have not had the power. I have done all that 1 could do; I have said all l could say to better the condi tion of the county. I am sorry that I could not do more for the county than 1 have. If I had the power I would “make the spoon or spoil the horn,” for there is not a man in the county likes good roads and bridges better than f do. I can only do as my boss says do. If 1 live I will be around on the campaign and I will tel! you more about it. Yours very respectfully, D. E. Smoak. ‘ wMth relatives and friends fn Florida.
