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.

CREEL FAMILY
LOSES MEMBERS
Source of Germs Should be
Determined by All
Means
It is sad misfortune that has come
to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Nick
Creel. 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.

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.

sheriff. He then went with the deputy
sheriff to take the still. 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

the place where a still was located by
someone else and had whistled to inform
the owner, if he were then in
that community.
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. It
is best to clip the leaves three >^r four
days before transplanting.

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." '

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.
