Mrs Gordon had been in feeble health for some time past and was on her way to Glenn Springs to recuperate when she v&s taken critically ill at her daughter's home in Florence, where she was to have been joined later by several of her children, who were to accompany her. From this sudden attack she gradually grew worse, until the end came Thursday night at 10:30 o'clock. Before her marriage to Mr AM Gordon the deceased was Miss Mar# Lee Gamble, daughter of the late J P Gamble of Gourdins, where she was born and spent the greater part of her life before coming to Kingstree about ten years ago. She was an only sister of Dr Wm G Ganfble, of this place, and Mr J P Gamble of Heinemann.and was in the 53rd year of her age. Mrs Gordon was an excellent lady, kind-hearted and sympathetic to all, a devoted wife and mother. Besides her husband and aged mother she leaves the following children: Misses Martha, Emma, Pauline, Margaret and Elizabeth, Mr tr t-? -i ? 1. ?* m lf r iv tsrocKingcon 01 riorence, iurs j G Ellis of Gillisonville and Messrs A M Gordon, Jr, Edwin Gordon and William Gordon. Mrs Gordon's remains were brought here at 11 o'clock Friday and interment made in the Williamsburg cemetery. Funeral services were held at the family residence at 4 p. m., conducted by her pastor, the Rev D A Phillips, of the Methodist church.

Miss Eunice Nettles Passes Away After patiently suffering through a ' period of seventeen weeks, this lovable Christian girl passed away Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Kellahan hotel, the home of herj parents. Miss Eunice was the second daugh- ( ter of Mr and Mrs S A Nettles and was born at Lanes, in this county, April 7, 181K). Her parents l>eing in the hotel business at Lanes, Lake City and Kingstree for a numl>er of years brought her in contact with a | great many strangers, who at once 1 la ! 1 t - . I I tearueu 10 appreciate ner lor ner ex- j emplary traits of mind and charac-1 ter, and many have doubtless felt j the influence of her gentle, refined, Christian spirit. This writer knew her well, and it is a painful task to chronicle the death of one so good and pure in character as he knew her to be. Though frail in constitution, she never failed to remember and minister to those about her when overtaken by sickness or trouble. She was a devout member of the Baptist church from early girlhood. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev \V E Hurt, at the Baptist church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The ceremony was simple and impressive. A special choir of young people sang sweetly, "How Firm a Foundation" and ".Safe in the Arms of Jesus". At the grave,"Jesus,Savior, Pilot Me" was sung. The pallbearers were: M A Shuler, Esq, and Messrs J Percy Hutson, M H Jacobs, J B Alsbrook, Edward Speigner and Jno Brown. Interment was made in the Williamsburg cemetery. Among those from out of town attending the funeral were: Mesdames Thos Nettles of Sumter and J H Lj Chandler of Suiters. Notice.

FOR MOVING COTTON CROP Official Urged to Deposit Money With the Banks Who Are in Sympathy With the Rural Districts. Codumbia. ? The South Carolina State Farmers' union has addressed an open letter to Secretary McAdoo urging him to deposit the government fund* for the moving of crops vrith J banks close to and in sympathy with ; the farmers and not to require these 1 banks to pay tribute to intermediary ! banks which are not in sympathy with the farmers, j The letter is signed by E. W. Dabbs, president of the union; J. B. Whetsell, j vice president; R. M. Cooper, B. Har' ris and J. H. Shealy, executive committte; attest, J. Whitner Reid, sec! retary, and is In full as follows: | "We, the undersigned committee on banking and currency, cotton ware! housing and marketing of the South J Carolina State Farmers' union, having full power to act for the same, and under the instruction of the state union at the recent annual meeting in Anderson, S. C., desire to express to you our appreciation of the recent announcement that you will again deposit treasury funds with certain banks in the agricultural states to aid in the movement of crops. We also note with pleasure (hat you will give a longer time limit if necessary than you did last year. However, we regret to see that you have designated banks in the same cities as last year to handle these deposits. Our observotinn nf th? wnrkine of the nlan last year was that many of the banks ii: which you deposited this fund were not in accord with your policy, and re quired 6 per cent for the funds you lethem have at 2 p??r cent, and in somf instances required the 25 per cent of the sum borrowed stay on deposit, thus making this money cost some country banks as much as 8 per cent "To a large extent this policy defeated the object and aim of your action, viz., that cheap currency should be abundant in the farming districts. We do hereby urge upon you that you deposit these government funds with the banks that come closest to the farmers, and not require these banks to pay tribute to intermediary banks who are not in sympathy with the farmers, nor with their purposes.
