Death of Mrs. Rebtce;
The death of Mrs. Rebecca Smith at
her home near Salem was a sad sur
prise to her many friends, as it was
not generally known that her condition
was serious until a few days before her
death, which occurred at 6 o'clock on
Wednesday morning, May 1st. She
had been in declining health for about
three years, but was able to be up and
about her home until Thursday of last
week, when her condition grew-serious
and her children were all summoned to
her bedside.
Mrs. Smith was born and reared in
Pickens county, and was a daughter of
the late Elisha and Sarah Alexander.
She was born on February 14, 1838, and
was, therefore, 80 years two months
and 16 days of age.
In early girlhood she was happily
married to the late W. N. Smith, of
North Carolina, who preceded her to
the grave some thirty years, leaving
her with thirteen children, several of
whom were very' small; but amid the
weariness and cares of life, the trou
bles, real and imaginary, of a family
she always maihtained an atmosphere
of cheerfulness, piety, truthfulness and
generosity.
She became a member of the Metho- 1
dist church and was a staunch member
up to the time of her death. She was
greatly beloved by all' who knew her,
and many found great pleasure in vis
iting her, cheering her in her suffering
and receiving inspiration from the con
stantly flowing evidences of patience,
resignation and submission- to the dis
pensations of Providence. Her whole
life was a benediction to those with
whom she came in contact, and in her
death comes grief not alone to those
nearest and dearest by reason of the
ties of blood, but to all whose pleasure
and privilege it had been to know her.
She leaves to mourn her death thir
teen children: W. E., F. H., J. L., R.
E., A. C., and James Smith, Mrs. J. F.
Alexander, Mrs. J. H. Wigington, Mrs.
S. H. Collins, Mrs. Maggie Holden, and
Mrs. Rosa Collins. . l of Ocor :e, Mrs.
D. '. Alexander ;. I Mrs. D. D. Win
chester, of Pickens ."ounty. She leaves
seventy-one grand nildren and thirty
one great-grandchidren. Of a large
family of brothers and sisters she
leaves one brother, Alfred Alexander,
of Pickens county, and two sisters,
Mrs. Laura Finley of Piedmont, and
Mrs. Itobert Stewart of Pickens.
She was buried the day following her
death at Keowee Baptist church, Pick
ens county. Rev. 13. F. Murphree con
ducted funeral services, after which
the remains were laid to rest by the
side of her husband to await the resur
rection.
There are many precious thoughts
connected with the resurrection of them
that die in the Lord. We have often
felt, in contemplating the reunion with
loves, that we would not give up for
this world the sweet assurance that
when we meet this sainted mother and
grandmother in the glory-land it will be
the same one we loved on earth. But
when we see her there it will not be as
we saw her last. Her brow will not be
dimmed with age; her head will not be
silvered over with gray hairs; neither
wvill her body be cold and lifeless in
death, but arrayed with all the beauty,
grace and glory of spiritual woman
hood. She will meet and greet her
loved ones with a long and loving wel
come to the home of endless life.
The bereaved family have the deep
est symp~athy of their many friends in
their dark hour of trouble. *
Friends and Strangers pay the
same We have but one price.

"Don't Be a Fool"
Dear Editor: Give me space for a
lot or two, please. The heading is,
''I)on't Be a Fool.''
Your neighbors are not watching you
s much as you think they are; they
lon't care how you dress or when you
o out or come in. Don't he a fool.
ou have got it into your head that all
tour neighbors are peeping out the
windows to see what you are doing;
ou have a notion in your foolish little
)rainy head that if anything should
Happen to your domestic affairs or busi
ess matters that the whole world
would stop; some tuiuk that people
would forget their gossips and troubles
o talk about you. Now this isn't true.
People care very little about you. No
me will notice whether you have dis
harged your servant or whether you
;o to church or stay at home, or
hether you keep thin kind of company
r that kind, so nobody will notice any
hing about it.
Don't be a fool. Don't imagine for
me moment that you are the center of
his universe. You could go a week
ith one shoe off and the other on and
iobody would notice anything about it.
Leople haven't got time to attend to
'our affairs. Do as you are in mind;
iobody will care. Get wvhat suits you!
est; you haven't a neighbor that caresj
rap what you get or what you don't|
et. Suit your owvn lhfe in your owni
vay and give up the crazy practice of
turmising that your neighbors or your
riends or the community at large care
fig or a feather what you do or
on't do. Don't worry yourself over
uch insane ideas. It has gone to seed
or you to feel that p~eop~le are noticing
ou a moment; it is just a masked kind
if egotism for you to think so.
Don't be a fool. Never say again
vhat wvill people say if I do this or
hat; what will folks think if I don't do
nything. Folks wvon't say anything;
hey don't care a snap about you; they
tave troubles of their own. Probably
hey are as big a fool as you are, dodg
ng and dlucking and squatting around
or fear some one may be looking at
bema or talking about them.
Don't be a fool. Straighten up;
alk wvith your head up; say what you
lease; do as you have a mind to do.
'hat is the best way. Be your own
nan and give up all foolish, ideas in
our noggin and let it be a good head
f plenty goodl self-made hard sense,
nd pay no attention to anybody elae's
usiness, but attend to your own.

1T POTATUS
SHOULD BE GROWN
Will Help Provide For a. Hun
ry World During Coming
Winter.
Columbia.-The sweet pomou will
help in a large way to solve the prob
lem of providing food-and, like the
Irish potato, a food that will largely
take the place of bread.
In order that the best results may
be obtained, the following Inforn
tion on "Growing Sweet Potatoes in
South Carolina" has been prepared by
George P. Hoffman, extension horti
culturist of Clemsoron College, at the
request of the Food Administration for
South Carolina:
Growing Sweet Potatoes in South
Carolina.
There are few crops so well adapted
to South Carolina condi3s5 that can
be grown with equal sitecess and profit
as can the sweet potato. This crop
offers to the growers 4,ery advantage
that is offered by other field or truck
crops.
Soil selectior:, prepaiamtion, fertiliz
ing, careful fitting and planting, an(
cultivating are the essentials of suc
cess in the growing of a crop of sweet
potatoes.
Sol:-The sweet potato adapts it
self to a great diversity of soil, but 1i
delights in and thrives best on a well
drained sandy or clay loam soil un
derlaid with a clay subsoil. Regard
less of the apparent ideal physical
condition of the soil, this crop must be
rotated each year. Sweet potatoes
may follow corn; cotton, small grain
and leguminous cover crops. This
crop may be easily and effectively
worked into any well balanced three
year rotative system.
Preparation of Soil:-The soil may
be thoroughly and deeply prepared by
turning twice to a depth of 6 to 8
inches followed by cross discing.
Crooked and irrew;ular formed roots
result from preparatory shallow prep
aration of the soil. Therefore, deep
and thorough preparation is very es
sential in the growing of marketable
potatoes.
Fertilizers: - Both barnyard and
commercial fertilizers are recommend
ed, but the former must be judiciously
used. Under the present potash short
age conditions, that element of plant
food most needed in excess, liberal ap
plications of barnyard manure will be
found to be very effective in supple
menting this shortage, and correcting
the physical condition of the soil. The
fertility and physical condition of the
soil should determine the extent of
the applications, which should not be
in excess of the needs. Ordinarily,
both commercial fertilizers and barn
yard manures are applied in the drill
when the soil is being fitted for set
ting the plants, and as a side dresser
Fitting the Soil and Setting the
Plants:-Preparatory to setting the
plants, which should be from May let
to July 15th, lay off rows 3% to 4 feet
apart and apply the barnyard or corn
mercial fertilizers i-n the drill and
thoroughly mix with the soil. Plant
ing beds of medium height, depending
upon drainage, should be thrown up
and dragged dIown, and the plants or
vine-cuttings Ret 14 to 18 inehes apart.
Correcting the packed condition of
the soil brought about through the
tiansplanting process, immediately
following the setting of the plants, the
water furrows should be harrowed or
otherwise shallow cultivated.
. For late plantings, the cine leaf, 8 to
10 inch vine cuttings are more desira
ble than are the plants, this being es
pecially true in the growing of seed
stock.
Varieties:-The Nancy Hall. Porto
Rico. and Triumph are the leading
a'nd moat popular varieties grown in
this State. The Triumph is one of the
earliest varieties, and should be plant.
ed when potatoes are grown for early
market.
Culvation:-Frequent and shallow
cultivation should be practiced until
the vines have covered the ground,
(during which period the greatest of
care must be exercised in the turning
of the vines. At the first cultivation,
which consists of a careful hoeing and
siding with a broad furrow, a side
dlressing of cottonseed meal should be
applied, at the rate of one-half ton per
acre, and thoroughly mixed with the
soil. The Orangeburg sweep or heel
bow and shovel will be found to be
very effective in cultivating this crop.

tatoes was furnished us by a grower

The second Sunday in May has been
j designated as Mothers' Day. It will
ibe suitably observed in all the churches
in Liberty holding service that day.
Everybody owes a debt of gratitude to
his mother that he can never repay.
The best friend anybody ever has is his
mother. A Christian mother is the
devil's worst enemy. If your mother
is still living, make the evening-time of
her life the brightest time of all.
