DWELLING HOUSE AND NEARLY ALL Till: EURNITURE OF PINK EDGE LOST BY EIRE I Tlic Origin of the Eire is Unknown and the Eamily Were Awakened Barely in Time to Escape With Their Lives. There was no Insurance on the Property. The <twelling house and kilchen of Pink Edge in the Maple section were totally destroyed by fire on last Wednesday night. All of the household furniture was lost in flames, but the furn'ture in the kitchen was saved. k The eauR of the fire is entirely unknown and is liKelv to remain a 1 mystery. Some of the family were awakened about I o'clock in the morning by the roar of the flames, and there was hardly time for them to get out with their lives. The home was beautifully situated but 1 the place had a very forlorn appearance next day after tin fire. The loss is placed at irom $500.00 to $1000 00, and there was no in- ' suranee. ? . i Bayboro Items. Editor Herald:?Please allow me space in your paper for a few words.

That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the lorn ly widow and fatherless children, so suddenly bereft of a devoted husband and a loving father. t Second. That by his death we have lost a good friend; the commit- y nity a valuable citizen; the poor a constant henefactor. c Thfrc!. That we bow in humble L submission to the will of our Heavenly Father, and that we commend N them in their sore bereavement, to ( thegoodne88 of Him who will gladly c heal our wounds. Fourth. That a copy of these j resolutions be sent to the family. r Fifth. That ''The Horry Herald" and "The Field" berenu-'sted tn nnh t 1 ' lish th?8 tribute of respect. 1 In Lovlnir Memory.

If it is not "agin" the rules of newspaper correspondence I could wish the real names of the contributors 10 your paper from the respective communities, as I "haint <rot enough larnin" to translate 110111 deplumes. In a.1 of I lorry's enterprises, success and achievements 1 rejoice, and in every misfortune I share with her the burden sympathetically I am sorry to notice the fact that the farmers are paying so little attrition to a matter which so vitally concerns them. Notable in this roga.*d in the failure with which Pro. A. 1). Jack3on of Floyds township, met when he called on them to meet And organize in their own interest* 1 know Jackson and esteem it a cherished honor to have been his pastor for four years. Lie is in every way a true yoke fellow and did his luty in the Master's cause as he saw it Oh, for more Jaoksons like "Stonewall" and Alonzo! Now, L am no farmer, but am heartily and prayerfully in sympathy with him because he is the backbone af the world! Neither would 1 dictate to the farmers of Horry, some of whose "tutors" helped to bring me to manhood, but let me tell tiicm a little of what's going on aver here. Organization! Hvery known business and profession, lirm ar corporation now arc organized for their protection! And last but not least, the farmers. The farmer has learned his lesson late, but well and once for all. 1 quote from the Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, 25, 190G: "Strange that the splendid lesson of organization has been so long in coming* It has been pressed upon the planters from every source flf unpionl nml n>A-1o?n , w mvi ii v;nuuu\ ur among men. The Greek phajutix marched to a thousand victories against overpowering foes in the first material syndicate of war. The Tenth Lotion of Ccasar won by the samo co-operative discipline that has made the martial prowess of the British Square. The solid swift coherency of Stonewall Jack son's corps has given impress to every succeeding battlefield and has found its culmination in the incomparable organization of the armies of Japan. Upon the battlefields of trade it is the coherent plan, the organized cooperation, which has builded every syndicate and bloated every trust with power. The religious world wins its wars with sin as its followers are organized and loyal to each other. The farmer's cause is righteous and his position is serene. The Southern farmer makes the cotton of the world." When our beautiful Southland was mired in war we witnessed the fact that England, Ind:a, Brazil and Liussia came against it with determined energy and tried to steal the jotton industry from our soil. Failore was the result and the South's jupremacy was acknowleged. This scribe, young as he is, well remembers when cotton sold at 4J lents and the manufacturer did not iclp to raise the price. But the 'armors began to organize and hold .heir cotton for 10 cents and they .jot it The manufacturers now say they must have 21 cents for yarn. Why tot the farmers demand 15 cents for .heir cotton. The doctor names his irico when his skill is administered. L'ho undertaker demands his dues vhen lie furnishes our burial outfit. The lawyer fixes his own fees. The xlitor controls his subscription, <fcc., t&c. Then why should not the most najestic producer in the world wait or a master to tell him what his iroduce is worth?
