LORN CONTEST?SCHOOL
ENTERTAINMENT
Lake City February T:?Mrs
George Atkinson of Timmonsville
is visiting at her son's, Mr L (J
Atkinson's, in town.
There was an entertainment
Friday night at the graded school
auditorium for the benefit of the
piano fund. The entertainment
w.ie -i miiliTfit: ,lrama called "Tom
" l,w "
Thumb wedding*' and the characters
were played by the children of the
lower grades, the oldest child being
ten years old. The plav was
well reudereu and for over an hour
amused ami entertained a crowd
that filled even the stairway room of
the auditorium.
Mr .1 F Muidrovv spent Saturday
and Sunday in Darlington, ins old
home.
\
Mrs M I) Xesuiith was with her
mother. Mrs ttrooks. in Charleston,
several days last wcck. Mrs I'rooks
has been ill some time at !ur home
on Calhoun Street.
It is reported th. ' CM 11 Wallace
Jones, who return* d here about two
weeks ago after an absence of more
than a year, will remain here permanently
and engage in the in
surance uueioess.
Mr Lea Randolph of Washington,
D C., visited in town the early part
of the week.
Mr W D Barnes was in Willmington,
X C., several days last week.
On the 2nd intsant, at his home
a few miles from this town, Mr
Alexander P Parker died, at the
age of about sixty-nine years. His
^ health had not been good for quite
a while, but he held up well until
three months ago when his
wife died, from which time he declined
rapidly till the end. Three
sons, Messrs Henry, M H and M C
Parker, and one daughter, Mrs
Eliza Dennis, survive. Mr Parker
was a gallant soldier of the Confederacy,
being a member of the
10th regiment of S. C, Vol., aad
bravely did his part for the cause
he loyed uutil he weut down upon
the field of battle with a shattered
leg, which had to be amputated,
When the wound healed he
mounted his wooden peg, like the
true soldier that he was, and undaunted
toy affliction and poverty,
went to work under difficulties
that would haye caused a less brave
and noble man to give up without
an effort. For nearly fifty years he
stomped along on his wooden leg,
winning a good living by the
plough, and leaving a goed farm
to his family. And what is better
still he left a good name. Among
his neighbors Mr "Alec" Paiker
??oo halrl in Hip hicrhftHt esteem for
"ua "v"* * ?o
his sterling qualities as an excellent
man and an upright citizen, lie
was a credit to the Lost Cause and
to himself.
Mr John D 8 Rodgers died at
Olanta on the 3rd instant and was
buried at the Casselinan burying
ground Saturday last. He was
about sixty-five years of age, and
was a son of the late \V N G
Rodgers, who was sheriff of Williamsburg
county some years ago.
31 r E 11 Rodgers, of the firm of
Rodgers & Wells, of this town, is
the only son of the subject of this
article. Mr Rodgers' life up to a
few years ago was spent here, and
here he was best known. And, as he
was one of those w ho are most es
teemed where lest known, it is in
this community that will be found
those who fully appreciated his
splendid character. He was indeed
one of God's noblemen?a man
of pure life and thought, faithfully
doing a man's part in life and
leaving an unspotted memory when
called hence.
In the corn coutest inaugurated
last spring by ihe Bank of Lake
City, which offered three cash prizes
aggregating $5n.0() for the three
best acres produced in the county,
the awards have been made. Mr
. G A Tilton won the first prize,
$35.00, on a yield of ?3 bushels.
The second prize, ?10.00, went te
Mr J E Godwin, whose acre turned
nt 73 bushels and 5 quarts. Mr
^ .u. _ . .v., .
Walter David captnred the third
prize, ?5,0<>, on (19; bushels. Til*1-'
farms of he two lirst named are!
(between Lake City and Lynch's)
j river, while Mr David's place is near
1 Suiters, Some other farmers who
I made excellent crops were dei
...
! barred from participating m the
I distribution of prizes for the reason ;
: that they failed to follow the rules;
j of the contest as to gathering and
| measuring.
This $50.<H) did perhaps ?5<wi
j worth of good last year and the results
will have a tremendous itilllueuce
many years to come. Our,
: ? _?
farmers nrieen jems h*^?uu'.u
such yields as 70 and So bushels!
beyond the pale of possibility.
Kven on the richest river bottoms
4o or 50 bushels was looked upon
' as very successful. We are just beginning
to learn what Williams-!
burg soil ami climate, mix. I with
; brains, will do. Twenty years from
| today Williamsburg county will be
[recognized on all -ides as the
! Ilesperhles of the State.

true in teaching.

A Safeguard to Children. j
' Our two children of six and eight
years have been since infancy subject
to colds and croup. About three
years ago I started to use Foley's
Honey and Tar, and it has never
i failed to pmvent and cure these troubles.
It is the only medicine I can
get the children to take without a
row." The above from W C Ornstein,

users of Foley's Honey and Tar. It

Phosphoric Acid and Potash, hut above all else these
should be in soluble farm?the mechanical condition
of the fertilizer should he such as to permit the plant to
absorb every particle of it. and the goods should he manufactured
from materials that will not give up their plant ,
food at one time, but furnish a steady supply throughout
the entire growing season.
This is the fertilizer you should have and can ?
in only one way. It is impossible to produce a goods like
this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do
this at home with a shovel and a screen or buy it from
someone who has made it the same way?the only difference
being in the quantity. j

exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one
part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too
little Potash, while another part would be exactly the
opposite?and all of it contain plant food locked up and
not available.
Remember that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no
test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pulverize
lumps and by the use of various means search out
the plant food ; your crop can't.
You can take an axe, break open the lx>x and get the
corn ; your mule can't.
