last Friday by H A Miller. Mr
Miller has been the first to market
tobacco here for the past three
years, and although he bears
the trade-mark "Made in Germany,"
he hates the Kaiser with a

love for the American flag, which

We are practically "living at

we consider ourselves fortunate,and
also being well fed when day after
clay we can enjoy such good things
as home grown potatoes, cabbage,
tomatoes, cucumbers, mutton corn,
jima beans,beets,and pole snap beans,
not to mention carrots, sqush, parsnips,
turnips and onions, which have
ceased to be a luxury. Who wouldn't

(Jrre- the weakest points in our

stress cne impuruujctr ui muioi Uam- (
ing upon young men and young
women. It is our duty to inspire
them with such a determination to
do and be something in this world, 1
that they should feel it a disgrace
to be selfsustaining and to be of ,
service to mankind, rather than a <
parasite upon the public. Let's have i
a purpose in life and carry it out. It '
is incumbent upon parents, rich
cr poor, to teach our children that
to work is not a disgrace, but that it ;
is a moral and righteous obligation
placed upon the whole human race
by the Divine Plan. The child who
is brought up in the belief that for <
him or her to work is unnecessary,
is a failure in after life ninety-nine
times out of an hundred.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE.
Mr H H Kinder Died Suddenly
Tuesday Morning.
Mr Harvey H Kinder, one of the
most highly respected citizens of
Williamsburg county, and a venerable
landmark of this community,
died suddenly at the home, of his
son, H U Kinder, about 8:30 o'clock

Kingstree. tie was Yt> years 01 age.
He was among the first of South
Carolina's sons to take up arms in
the War Between the States,throughout
which he served with an unflinching
bravery that won him distinction
among his comrades,although he was
captured during one of the campaigns
and imprisoned. In this distress
he won the affection and sympathy
of a Union officer, who later
aided him in making his escape. He
was a manly man, honest and upright
in all his dealings with his fellowmen.
For a number of years Mr
Kinder was the commander of Camp
Pressley, U C V, and was one of the
pension commissioners of this county.
Mr Kinder is survived by five sons
and two daughters: H F Kinder, L
P Kinder, H U Kinder, J C Kinder,
and Virgil Kinder; Mrs W H Carr
and Mrs Lemuel Koger of Walterboro;also
a number of grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church, of which he
was a member,at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and interment was made
in the Williamsburg cemetery, Rev
P S McChesney officiating.

work of the sparrows. My field i
always full of them. They com
from all over town, and you can se
them fly back with worms in thei
mouths. Other tobacco farmer
who live close to town tell me the;
are not bothered with worms. If th
tobacco worms the sparrows destro;
will offset the other damages don
by them, I for one am thanful fo
their presence. H A Miller.
