By order, Jeremiah Smith, Commander, Camp Buck, U C V. OBITUARY. Rev. J. S Cox, .son of John and and Nancy Cox, was born in Columbus county, N. C , May 29 th, 1817 and died in the same county March 18t.h, 1807. He was married May 3rd, 1843 to Miss Serena M. Butler, of Horry count}-, with whom he lived in the greatest peace and union for nearly sixty-four years Lovely and pleasant were they in life, and in death they were not divided. Mrs S. M. Cox, daughter of John and Lydiu Butler, was born August 14th, 1824 and died April 24th, 1907, rejoining her dearly beloved husband in the better laud after a separation of five weeks. My pen is inadequate to portray t.he virtues nf thi^: i?v t.rsmivlinu ne couple. They were both converted in early life and lived consistent Christian lives to the day of thendeaths. They reared a large family in the nature and admonition of the Lord. May their godly counsels sin If deep iuto|the hearts of their descendants; mav the aroma of their consistent lives be a beacon guiding their children and grand-children into the harbor of bliss. Mr Cox was for many years a local preacher in the M. E, church,, and many, very many were turned from darkness into marvelous light of the gospel by his cogent reasoning and persausivoeloquence, brtt more were won by bis ever ready sympathy, his genial smile and his sweet songs. The poor a.id distressed ever found true friends in this noble couple. They were given to hospitality; their doors were open alike to stranger and friend. Mrs Cox was a noted housekeeper looking well to the ways of her household and the heart of husband safely confided in her. Five brave sons and five lovelv daughters were given them to rear for the Lord, and nobly did they discharge their duty One son died at the age of twelve and one daughter, Mrs C. C.

Tin; eight children, with thirty-six grand children and thirtythree great grand children are left to mourn their loss on this side of the river, while on the other side, nineteen grand children awaited their coming. Mrs f'ox leaves one brother, J. F Butler, Hire way, N. C , and one sister, Mrs Kllu Barnhill, of Horry connty. Mr Cox, the last surviving member of a large family of thirteen children; his lather, mother, brothers and sisters having been waiting for him many years. How joyfully sweet must that reunion have oeen! The lessons taught by their lives are many and useful. Fidelity to civil duty shown by the fact that Mr Cox voted in the last elect'on. Fidelity to Cod, evinced by their Godly walks and conversation, unfailing character ami genial dispositions. Fidelity to mankind shown by their hospitality, kindness and love unfeined. Their friends were numberless. It is useless to sav that their end was peace, their sun went down without a cloud. Such lives as they lived could nave but one ending. Peace. Calmly and peacefully a* one wrappeth the drapery of his couch around him and heth down tc pleasant dreams, so they make their exit from the stage of life. God answer their last prayer and grant that not one of their descendants may be missing when the roll is called in heaven. Annie. ??- ? Pleasant Meadow Items.

The following planters repot i ed: W. J. Hendricks, Pour acres; Irvin Siugleton, Three acres; hi. .1. Marsh, Three acres; J. H. Hendricks, Three acres; Housand John sou, Three acres; G. Edwards, Pour acres; W. D. Woodward, Three acres; W. P. Hardee & Bro., Three acres; J. J. E Harrelson. Pour acres; S. D. Anderson. Pive acres; S. W. Vaught, Three acres; R. M. Little, One acre; H. Torppkins, Pour acres; N. J. Booth, Seven acres. This lacks much of giving us the information we wanted, but we have published the names of those who responded in the hope that others will be stimulated to send in the information. There are many others who are planting tooacco this year and the Heralil would be glad to know who they are and how many acres they are planting. ? Come to see when in town.

I rom Cart-Wheel Mr Editor:-?Will you please allow me space in your columns to replv to the correspondent from Ourley in regards to the question I asked some time ago? I asked the question: Who was Cains wife, and in his answer he seems to be of the opinion that lie married his sister, or halfsister. He referred me to Gen. 5-H, saying that Adam in his long life begat. many sons and daughters, and there could be but little doubt that Cain married one of these numerous daughters. In reply to his answer, I will refer him to Gen 4th chapter aud read it caretullv, and see ii Cain was not married before Adam begat ihese numerous sons and daughters. Seth was the third child of Adam and Cain was certainly married before Seth was born. He said that as late as the time of Abraham. that Patriarch, married his half sister. 1 reckon that Abraham was the patriarch he had reference to. 1 want to ask him if Abraham V wife was his sister in flesh and blood or was she hi- sister in spirit. Abraham said: "Yet indeed she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife." Hid Christ in any of his speeches and teachings ever claim to be the mother of any one? No! it was always father, therefore they were both children of Christ; brothers and sisters in spirit That is my honest opinion, though 1 may be mistaken. 1 don't write this to inash any ones toe> whatever, 1 only express my opinion in regard to his answer.

The Eddy Lake logging business is under good headway agin under the management of Capt J. N. Martin with W. J. Howell and N. B. Smart as wood? foremen. S. W. Martin informs your scribe that he will, in the near future, erect a brick mill ou the new railroad near Dongola. This will be a good en tei prise. Crous are generally sorry owing to the cold wet spring. There is very little tobacco planted in this section, M. M. Martin being the only planter. It is looking well considering, Pee Dee Boy Dots From Singleton. Health of this community is gen ally good. The fanners are very busy and Crops are looking fine. \V.' J.

Last week James A Calhoun, trad ing as Calhoun & Co., had to close the doors of the business owing to financial difficulties which had beeu growing for some time. Mr Calhoun regretted the situation which compelled him to take tlos action. The stock will inventory between two and three thousand dollars, and there is no shop worn goods in the lot, or practically none. At Fayettsville, N.

The anuoucement is made to the nublic thut the Horry Tobacco warehouse is to be opeucd this season. Col I) A Spivey, President of the Warelouse Co , succeeded in closing u leal with Mr J WGleun,of Danville, Va , whereby Conway is to again lave a chance to prove whether she wants a tobacco market here or not. i Mr Glenn is said to be one of the >est warehousemen south of the vlasou uud Dixou's Line, and with he proper suppoit of our business ample, and the tobacco planters in ihecouuty, he will succeed in building a market here. In a communication he says: ''I am coming anions you to do a reasonable ju&iness and by hard work and fair ind honorable dealing to build a good market. The consummation of this would help all citizens of your section and town, iu consideration of which I hope to have the cordial cooperation and support of vourself and all your citizens." This is well said and to the point \Ve believe Mr Glenn means every word of it. Friends of the enterprise bespeak for him the co-opera t ion he seeks. TocJcJvill* Tiding-* Miss Costa Long, of Greenfield, wus in town this week. W F Smith lias been appointed postmaster at Virgo vice S F Slieuly resigned. Mrs 11 H Woodward and children are spending the week hero with re) atives. Col J F Harper made a pleasant trip to Georgetown Monday and returned Tuesday on Steamer MitcLelle C. The farmers have a a reasonably good stand cotton and corn, which seems to be promising. But ther? is practically no tobacco planted in this section. Miss Mamie and Decsie Jordan, ol Conway and Costa Long, of Ureeu field, joined the music class of oui school this week. The article of J Lewis Leo in the last issue of the Herald voices oui sentiments. There is redress for the growers of strawberries provided they organize, thoroughly. It is very evident that the railroads? have no sympathy ior the farmer? and are only in business for the loaves and fishes. Not only should the berry growers become interest, but our members of the Legislature und all our business men should come together and not allow the railroads 10 practically crush an enterprisf which has done so mbch for Horry. We hope that Mr Lee will keep up the tight till something is accomplished. Those interested should present a solid front. It is said the. law and order league ' is turning things around now und w< are told that much has beeu accom I plished already. Any movement that ; has for its obiect the hetterment. r?l < conditions socially, morally and ti- i uauciaHy should receive the encour- I agement of every law abiding eitl- ,i zen. The law and order league of Conway has a hard problem to solve, but the members are very determined and are influential. Members told your scribe to just watch re suits as there would be something doing in the near future as the illicit sale of whiskey had to stop. As every one knows the price o* fertilizers has steadily advanced since the Virginia Carolina Chemical Co. has had control of the situation. We would like very much to see a cotton seed oil mill established in Conway to bo owned and controll ed by Horry capital independent of the trust. It should be run for the benefit of the farmer and not as a money making scheme. If such men as D A Spivey. J A McDermott and W L Mishoe would take hold of the enterprise the necessary capita) would soon be subscribed and wean >ure that it would mean much for the prosperity of the Horry farmer as it would be very convenient for tbem to exchange their seed for meal.
