OBITUARY One I lore best is gone* In memory of my husband. Death visited our home oit the 17th day of April and took away my dear husband, Mr. G. K. Stevens. He was in failing health for many years, but stayed up, able to attend to his business. until a few days before he de- . parted. All was done for him that kind hands could do; also Dr. J. D. Thomas and Dr. Richardson, but nothing could stay the icey hand of death. His funeral was conducted by the Rev. Walter Todd. He was laid to rest at the Poplar cemetary to await the Resurrection morning. Dear darling, you have gone and left me, In this world of sorrow and woe, But it won't be long my darling, Before we all must surely go. It is hard oh Savior For me to live here without you, Your sweet smiles was ever pleasant, - ' * Your voice was in gentle tone. When you would take the little children, And sing praises to our God, Are you singing now, dear Kelly, In the mansion bright and fair? With a holy band of angels, Yes, 1 surely believe you are. I should like to be with you my darling, In that city over there, Where there are no troubles, Over there. I've no treasure to bind me here below. It will be sweet, when we meet, Oh! It will be glory by and by. Dear and loving Kelley, You are gone but not forgotten, Never will your memory fade, My deepest thought will always linger, Around the grave where you are laid. Oh, it seems like I can hear you call, As you used to do, For I know you want to see me, In that happy home above. Sing on, dear darling, It won't be long before I shall be with you, Meet me at the pearly gate. Your loving Wife, MRS. G. K. STEVENS. for the average producers.

There were five bright children in the family before'the deadly germs of typhoid were developed by Gracie Creel, eiurht years of age; now there are two of the five dead, while still another is in the hospital in Marion, S. C., not expected to recover. Grace, a child of eight, died first, then Essie, another of the children, about eleven years of ape died from the same disease. The eldest daughter, Blanche, about fifteen years of ape, contracted the disease and in a desperate attempt to save her life, she was moved to the hospital where she has been lingering' under the constartt care of doctors and nurses, and her case was reported last week as There are now two small children, the last out of five, playing about the Creel home. Recently the family moved from the house which they occupied at the time the disease was contracted, to another home on the j avenue. This change may result in saving the remainder of the family from the germs of this disease which has proven to be so deadly in their effects. Tiie details of the way in which different benevolent organizations in Conway tried to render aid and assist in saving those children from death have appeared in The Horry Herald from time to time ever since the first child was taken violently ill. It was published at the time that it was the belief that the germs had been caught from the drinking water from a spring or hole in a road ditch extending out near the ball grounds on the national highway. It was told that the children became thirsty while playing out there and had taken some of the water from the ditch. This seemed to be a little uncertain as the source of the germs. The water at the home came from an open well. This was covered up and its use forbidden. If any water was used from the well on the place after the first] child was taken ill, it was against the strict orders of the doctors and nurses in charge at the place. Now it is said that there is an open spring in a rather low place not far from the home where the Creel family lived. These germs could be contained in the water in that place. Recently this spring and the water herein was examined by looking at it close enough to see that it contained wigglers. Children may have known no better than to drink water from this spring instead of from the water by the side of the national highway. vi 1 n . ? ' ? wno Knows: i lie matter is nrought up again for the reason that it is important for the city hoard of health to make further efforts to locate this contaminated water. If it was out 011 the highway it would be a satisfaction to know that it was there that the perms were contracted; on the other hand if the water in the low place or spring near the home contained the perms, it would be a safe suimise that the germs were contracted there. If the germs were contained in the water from the surface well which the family used prior to the illness, this also should be known. It is suggested, therefore, that the health officer gather lots of this water and have it analyzed and a report made and published showing the results. This would make it clear to the people as to the source of these deadly germs and would place in the hands of the people valuable information which would enable others to be careful about drinking water. Prevention is, of course, the best remedy for typhoid fever, and espe/.Inlli. Vss. iU/v 1 vmuy iwi une very vn uient uypt? uuti ?pems to have been contracted by the Creel family. The need is wide circulation of information concerning matters of this kind. There should be a way to bring1 knowledge of such matters directly home to the rank and file. School children need to be waked up to the danger that lurks in the eating of foods that are uncertain as to wholesomeness and the drinking of water from all sorts of places just l>ecause they happen to be thirsty and do not want to wait until pure water is available to slake their thirst. o U Keep On Going, Old Boy f When life seems so long and the road seems steep; When hills are so high and valleys so deep; When shadow hi'Ies sunshine, and clouds hide the sun, When you find that you've failed when you thought you had Won? Keep on going, old boy. When winter banishes summer and green turns to brown, When everyone you meet is wear ing a frown? Keep on going, old boy. Alter the rain there's sunshine after the winter, the spring. Somewhere, sometime and somenov someone will happiness bring If you keep on going, old boy.

He waited until one or two o'clock and saw Page come to the still. He had a pistol in his hand. They waited behind the barrels of mash. Page was arrested at the barrels. Page lived 200 yards from the still. Page had livod in the neighborhood for some time. This still was only a few miles from the place where Page was reared. Witness had seen Page off and on for some time. There was no worm at the still. There was some clay in a bag. Rollin Johnson testified that he was present when the arrest was made and told the facts about the same as the other witnesses. Luther Page testified he had lived there only eight days. He said he found this still on the place. He went out to investigate to see who was opcrating it that night and was caught there by the officers. This was all he knew about it. The still was off in the woods from the house. Before moving to this place he had been working for a company in Marion County, he stated. He denied that he had ever seen a still before in his life. Nobody had lived there before he did. He had found this still the day before in the swamp. He had found the still the day before while hunting and fishing in the swamp. He said that his father lived about two and a half miles away. His brother and defendant's wife were at the house. He had been off to Aynor and i i i i i i returned tnat nignt ana went oy tne house and put up the car. He had no lights on the car and had to wait for the moon to rise. His brotherin-law went in the car with him and he put him out at his house. He had 4he pistol because he was not going to such a place as that without something: to protect himself, he stated. The State rested. W. C. Page testified that his son had been living at this hnuse eight days. Before this he had rented a place and house from Mr. Angus Jordan. The Jordan house was about a mile away. He had some of the plowing done and had spent some days at Will Johnson's. W. C. Page was later recalled, but was not allowed to answer the question about the community being flooded with whiskey before the defendant went there. The defense argued that as the defendant had not been in the community "longer than eight days, it. would have been impossible for the defendant to have ran off a charge and got another charge ready in that short time. They went over the testimonv and showed that, it had been proven that the still had been only I recently run. The theory of the de-l fotiso vv;i?

Die theory of the State was that Page was at the place; that the circumstances showed that Page did not pro to the still to find out who owned it. They contended that he did not report it to the officers of the law. He did not get anyone to go with him to the still. The jury found Page guilty with recommendation to the mercy of the court. His sentence was deferred until later in the week. 1 When should I plant my celery for winter use? During late July or early August. The plants should be well established when transplanted. A large celery plant, say one with the stalk as large as a led pencil, will stand transplanting much better than will a smaller plant. Remove about one-half of the leaf surface before transplanting.

Y.?Adv. i THE HORRY HERALD, 0 CELERY CROPS FOR LOWLAND One Farmer Has Promising Experience With This New Crop Clemson College.?That it seems reasonable to hope for celery growing to become profitable on considerable areas of irrigable lands along fresh water streams in the coastal plains is a conclusion that may be drawn from a recent report made to Geo. P. Hoffman, Extension Horticulturist, by Mr. Paul Sanders, of Ritter, Colleton County, who states that he grew successfully last season a field of beautiful celery, the quality of which was excellent and the price received most satisfactory. Mr. Sanders' report, which contains also a statement from the commission merchant handling the car of celery on the market, is given below First Car of Celery Shipped From State. "You recall, no doubt, having rendered me some valuable assistance in securing governmental aid in the way of an engineer to install an irrigation plant last summer, about which I subsequently wrote you, and expressed my thanks. I want to say in this connection that growing out of this project I have made what I think is a wonderful demonstration of the feasibility of developing all the territory adjacent to the fresh water streams in the coastal plains ot bouth Carolina a veritable Garden of Eden, a place where almost any kind of plant life will thrive under proper irrigation. "Among other crops which I have successfully grown on these irrigated lands, and am now growing, I wish to call special attention to a small plot of celery with which I made an experiment this season. I have never seen more beautiful celery, and every one who saw it has heartily concurred with me. In order that I might present this to you in its final analysis I am enclosing a letter, which you will kindly return, bearing on this subject. ' "I am very proud of having made the first carload shipment of celery, out of this State and hope to develop this industry very rapidly. When we prove that we can produce a better quality of celery than is grown in r'lorida, why should noc this crop be a very profitable one, hundreds of miles nearer the consuming centers? It appears to be simply a question of irrigation in order to make it a very safe and profitable crop. Commission Man Pleased. "Your car No. 27195, loaded with celery and cabbage arrived this morning, and was sold as per our wire of even date. We trust sales will please you. The quality and condition of the celery was excellent. Judging from what we have seen we believe you have an elegant proposition before you. Of course, being an experiment, we fully realize why you did not have the proper crates for shipping, but with the regular size crate and proper packing it looks to us as though this celery will sell well at any time. We would like to have another car or two of it, and if you have more hope you will let it come along." ' sizod potted plants in two years. PI eas?? ^ivp me th<* nn-ie of a irood book on sheep.?E. B.

C, JUNE 14, 1923 FAMOUS NOVEL 'FORMS BASIS Pastime Will Show Last of Mohicans on June 18th Next Monday night will be the occasion of a feature picture at the Pastime, based on a love story written by J. Fenimore Cooper, under the title of "The Last of the Mohicans." A better novel never was produced, nor one that has been read with more interest and lasting impression of the historic scenes told in words by this famous novelist. Who has not admired the tales written by J. Fenimore Cooper? The young and the old have enjoyed these wonderful stones and the world has been made better and life more enjoyable by reason of the work of this genius. Maurice Tourneur has produced "The Last of The Mohicans" in moving pictures. It is a First National attraction. It is needless to review the story here as so many people have read the book they will know already with a wonderful entertainment is in store for them at the theatre. According to the papers critics have placed Maurice Tourneur's new picture, "The Last of The Mohicans," in a new category of film production. It is called a permanent photoplay classic, which means that it will live when the ordinary entertainment film has passed on. This is for several reasons, the first being that Tourneur proved he could make an absorbing* entertainment out of Cooper's famous story, and at the same time preserve the historical and educational values. "The Last of The Mohicans" is a story too well known to need repetition, but the sweet love tale, with the humor and pathos thrills and exciting moments is one that will cause every beholder to gasp?then laugh, then gulp?for it is intensely human, intensely real, and replete with historical events that thrill. All the ability and k ^.veldge of the great Tourneur has gone into this production. An all-lead cast, especially selected by Tourneur, appears in this story.
