Benson, February 9:?Very little farm work was done before Christmas and none in this section during the month of January on account of the prevailing rainy and cloudy days, but with a few more balmy days with radiant and resplendent sun-j light giving more warmth to the i damp, cold earth,the farmers will be found ploughing, harrowing, grubb.ng, ditching and generally preparing the soil for the growing of another crop, hoping for a bountifulj. yield at the harvest season. It is well that the belligerent powers of the Old World are still fighting at the present, for it impresses us with a safe and sound thought to plant less cotton, more grain, a medium tobacco crop and to use a very limited quantity of fertilizers. Again raise the cry of the "one-gallus" boys of the 90's: "More hog and hominy," and the country will experience prosperity. Miss Ossie Epps of Kingstree visited in this section Sunday for the purpose of organizing a Ladies' Missionary society. The meeting was held at 3 p. m.and they succeeded in organizing with a few faithful members. The society will meet in the afternoon of the first Sunday in March. They urgently request the attendance of all the ladies of the neighborhood, regardless of denominational preference.

Cants at Cedar Swamp, where he was laid to rest beside his lamented wife and his son, Julius, near by,felt keenly the seriousness of the occasion. Mr McCants once lived not far from here and made many friends in this section. Misses Pauline Watson, Anna Devore and Ruth Phillips, all teachers of this section,visited Kingstree Saturday on business. We do not believe the proposed act of the Legislature to make it unlawful to offer tobacco for sale without grading would meet the approval of the people of Williamsburg county. Let us hear from some one on the subject. WES. The President's innovation of holding informal cabinet meetings in his study on Friday nignts met witn unanimous approval, but that was before the arrival of Baby Say re. If they are to be successfully continued, the cabinet will have to come en tiptoe and speak in whispers. I 4 THE F ing to the farmers of Williams!
