Jan. 17.—Special Satur day. Jan. 11. was a sad day to the family and friends of Bro. J. S. Weeks. Many friends were present to sympathize with the sorrowing ones, as husband and wife, mother and children were separated to await the great reunion. Sister Weeks passed away to rest in the great be yond. leavihg an aged and afflicted husband and seven children, five sons and two daughters to mourn because she has gone from earth. Her faithfulness as a follower of Christ gives to each of them perfect confi dence that her present state is one of joy and peace inexpressible. They mourn not as those having no hope. She was married when quite young in 1857. and in the same year united with the Union Baptist church. A number of years afterward her mem bership with that of her husband was transferred to the Bethlehem church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. v Her home was one of peace. She was a loving, faithful wife, and a kind, patient mother. She was a neighbor on whom others could al ways rely. Many will miss her. Let us follow her example and he ready when the aummopa comes. - * S. W. Ackerman. Y«»ur DruggKt has • Remedy THAT HE GUARANTEES TO PROMPTLY RELIEVE ALL STOM ACH DISTRESS. People go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years and im agine they have a serious disease. They over-eat or over-drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work, but they never think that the stom ach needs extra help to do the extra work. If these people would take Blood- ine with or after meals, it would be a great big help to the stomach in its strain of over-work. No matter what you eat or drink. iUoodine will sweeten your sour stomach and stop gas belching in Five mrnutes. The heaviness disappears, and the stom ach is greatly aided in its work of digestion. Bloodine not only promptly re lieves all distress, but If taken reg ularly will absolutely cure indiges tion by building up the flabby, over- orked walla of the stomach and cake them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal.

Per O To the Editor of The State: To those of os interested in the welfare of the children of South Carolina the proposed compulsory education bill la the most important that win be pa peed upon by the pres ent general aaoembly This subject la being discussed from all section* of ffie State, and more thought Is beint' gi^i U by the people of the rural districts than ever before. Of coarse every citizen of South Carolina who has the into rest of his State at heart desires an educated citizenship. It must bring the blush of shame to every true South Carolinian to know that this proud commonwealth la one of the most illiterate States in this Union. Why Is thta the case? The answer is easy. It is from the lack of interest by a large majority of our citizens in the education of our chil dren. If those who are opposed to compulsory education would stop to consider that the powers that uplift man and give purpose to life are faith in God and n trained mind they would be interested in putting their children in possession of these pow ers. Carlisle was right when he said: "A boy without a purpose is like*a ship without a vueder, a waif, a no mar. a nothing." The boy with a purpose and that purpose backed by an education will live for some thing worth while; he will do some thing worthy. It is the thoughts that make the thinker and the man. One hero can immortalize a nation; one heroic act may make history for all time to come. How import&ht then, it is that every child should haYfc an equal chance, indeed, should be ihade to have au equal cha.ice, to make a name for himself, sad in making a name for himself, be of service to his State. The child that Is kept out of school to be made a hewer of wood, draw er of-'water for his unappreciat- ive parents usually gets the pity, many’ times the contempt, of the more fortunate. Three hundred illiterate out of ev ery l.Ouo population :n South Caro lina! What a shame? Wiiai a curse to South Carolina! I would refrain from mentioning the lac* out for the hope that many citizens who are now- careless about thia all-important mat ter may see their error and awake to the duty to themselves, to their children and to their Stale. It is. or should be. the ambition or every par ent to leave his child a competence when he is gone. Can he leave his child a better fortune than an edu cation? I note with pleasure that a few counties in South Carolina have more white children in school then negro children. Greenwood county, along with the majority of counties, has more negro children. The enrollment in this county for the past year was 8.306. Of this number 2,714 were white and 5.592 colored. This fact does not speak well for the white peo ple of the county—a county that is making remarkable progress along all other lines. Some are ready to say that Greenwood’s lack of interest in educational matte.a should not he exposed to- the public. But we must know opr danger before we awake to action. Let the people know- what they need most and they will be aroused to action. Force the white children into the schools and you force the negro along with hfm is the cry of the demagogue that has been heard until such ar gument has become stale. If anyone will take the pains tp examine f he report of our efficient State superin tendent of education it will b-s seen that the negro children ar° already in school and a lar^e percentage^ of the white children are at home grow ing up in ignorance. The parents of these stay at home children are the class the compulsory law is intended to reach. The man who thinks for hia child ought to be mace to do his duty to his child. 1 do not favor a law that will compel every child to attend school during the busy sea son of the year, for a large -percent age of boys and girls are the bread winners of their parents who are not able to spare them from the farm. But 1 do favor a law that will com pel every boy and girl in South Car olina to attend schol at least four months in the year. December. Jan uary. February and March. The av erage school term for whites in Greenwood county is six months. It :s too bad that the poor children can not attend a full session, but a half loaf is better than no bread at all. Any boy can be spared from the farm tiering the four months without loss to his parents. It is the duty of eve ry patriotic citizen to bring this im portant matter to the attention of the representatives and urge them to pass a law that will be of lasting benefit to the helpless children of South Carolina. L**t .-the legislators and governor do their duty in this*matter and re ceive well done *>f good and faithful servt.e »o South Carolina.

Jen. 15.—Special: It came sooner than wa* Ssxpected— far sooner. The expectation was that there woald be some delay In the preliminary skirmish between the ex- •eutftve end legislative departments. It was a mild and unexpected skirm ish and without casualties, because there was no vote. It Wee a trivial matter, at beet, but it foretold ten dencies. The whole thing was simply this: Governor Blease today sent In two special messages. The first to be re ceived was a printed pamphlet of 30-odd pages containing hia reply to tlfo Augusta. Oa.. feature of the dis pensary investigating committee. The point involved was in this paragraph of the latter of transmittal: "It is not a matter of much differ ence to me, but it is e material mat ter to the people o* this Bute, and particularly to the future history of the State, that the caargee which were made before this bene of polit ical pirates should be exposed in or der that the record of the Governor of our Commonweaitn should be known and the falsity of the charges shown; otherwise I would not bothur you with it. "Requesting that you give it a place In.your Journal," etc. Motion to Print. In JonrnaL As soon as the message was read Mr. Geo. R. Rembert moved that the message be printed In the permanent Journal. Mr. Nicholson thought it better to refer the message to s committee, so it may there be held in abeyance un til the report of the investigating committee is actually received. This was not acceptable to Mr. Rembert. He thought the message should be printed and so insisted. Mr. Nicholson urged that the message should not be printed until the com mittee made its repoi:, and changed his motion that the >..es8age simply be held. Mr. Boyd agreed with Mr. Nicholson. 4 Mr. Rembert finally agreed to withdraw- his motion to require the printing of the dispensary message in the Journal until tue committee report was filed. A few moments later Governor Blease sent in message number three, requesting the publication in full of his Richmond speech. Mr. Rembert moved that the message ne printed in the Journal, and it was so ordered. It was plain that the members, at least very many, wanted to avoid any contest or real fight. Mr. Mitchum sounded this note, but tne status quo was maintained by the motion to print being withdrawn. This is not to be considered as meaning that when the report is actually filed the original motion will :.oi be put and prevail. On the Senate side the same mes sage that provoked a Hurry in the House was referred to the flnaifce committee without any ulscussion whatever, the motion to make spec ial reference being made by Mr. Carl isle, who is chairman of the commit tee that made the investigacon.

Pruning is a necessity where beet resalts are tp be expected from fruit trees. A tree can be given all the attention possible relative to culti vation and fertiliser, but unless It is judiciously pruned the branches will become thick and funguous dis eases which prey upon the tree and fruit. -Even If the branches do not die they become so thick that the fruit is inferior la elxe, color and quality. Well pruned, low headed trees,, haring the bearing wood well distributed, and being etouf and stocky, are able to bear and hold np heavy crops of frnlt. They also fa- sill tato spraying, htinnlng and har vesting. They era also by far more ornamental in appearance then the awkwat’d, long limbed nnpruned trefe. Pruning is necessary, there fore, where the beet trees and first class fruit are desired. To get the most saiisfactory re sults pruning should be done every year. By annually heading hack and thinning out the smai: branches dur- ilng the early life of the tree and removing a dead branch here and a stray limb there, in after years, ne tree can be kept In good, healthy fruiting condition, and it will never >e necessary to cot out large limbs or unbalance the tree oy very heavy pruning. Pruning sbonld consist more in directing the growth each .year than by checking it by one heavy pruning which is :o make up for years of neglect. :r s tree is properly directed and shaped when young it will never be necessary to cut out many branches or large limbs in later years. .Pruning should commence when the tree is planted. When the tree s planted cut the dea4 and broken roots to good living wooc, leave a clean smooth cut. rae young tree should be pruned back to the height he head of the tree is to be formed, which height should be consiit^.t with to methods of cul'i'-aGo i 1 would suggest 16 to 20 inches for the peach and 24 to 30 inches for the apple and pear. :f tlu young tree is whip-Uu? the nine t> .ds luay be allowed to form tl.t fir'st season to cause it to oecome stout and stocky. If it is stocky e;:orrn all the buds may be kept rubbed off as they start except those intended to form the main b.anches of the tree. It is a common fault to start a young tree with too many branches which afterwards crowd each other to such an extent that it becomes necessary to cut out iarge limbs. Three or four main limos, if proper ly placed are enough ror any fruit tree. The main limbs snouid be well arranged around the tree and at lightly different heights on the main axis. After the first season's growth all branches except those just men tioned, should be cu; away, and these should be beaded back about half. The annual pruning after wards will consist largely in head ing back the previous season’s growth and keeping the head thin ned out. On* the upright growing trees, as theBRieffer pear, prune to a bud point outward so as to cause the head to spread. When the tree begins to bear full crops of fruit, it will be necessary, except in the case >f the peach tree, which would be thinned out and headed back even after It is bearing full crops of fruit. Pruning is best done when the trees are dormant, preferably In the spring ,u»t before the buds start. It sometimes becomes necessary to renovate old trees which have bo- • come choked with water sprouts and dead limbs. The reclaiming process should take two or three years, de pending upon the condition of the tree. The first years most of the water sprouts, all of the dead limbs, and few of the worst offending branches should be removed The second year more of the on necessary limbs may be taken out. The third year The operation may be complet ed. In .removing limbs, as well as n cutting smaller branches, alwavs make a smooth close cut so that no stub is left.
