Death of Mrs A HI Gordon.
Mrs A M Gordon, one of Kingstree's
most estimable ladies, died
last Thursday evening at the home
of her daughter, Mrs S K Brockington,
in Florence.
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.
The deceased leaves a large circle
of relatives and friends who learn
of her death with deep regret.

and Mr Luke Young of Florence:
Mr and Mrs W M O'Bryan, Mrs A I
A Gamble and J E Keejs, Greelylyville;
Mr S A Graham, Heineman;

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.

; FARMERS SEEK AID
8TATE FARMERS UNION SENDS
LITTER OF REQUEST TO SECRETARY
McADOO.
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.

determined to keep the markets open
and to advise the farmers to market
the weed slowly. Independent buyers
and some large American concerns
will continue to buy if bankers can
arrange to support them.
