October 20, 1870, she was married to M. H. B. Johnson of North Carolina, and from this happy union, a family of twelve Christian men and w^men have been given to the world, all of whom are still living: Mrs. J. F. Gilmore, Fayetteville,, N.

I Besides her children, Mrs. Johnson lea ves seven sisters, two brothers,) and numerous other relatives and a best of friends, who loved her and , - will miss her presence. Her life was spent in doing good; | fek her name is written?not in the "Hall of Fame," but in the hearts of all those she helped as she passed on *111 ner quiet, uuuunuanc uv? seeking the praise of this world, but doing the will of her Master. She was a sufferer for many years, but bore it with Christian fortitude. Even when her pain became more intense, she kept her cheery spirit and warmly welcomed those who came about her, until the end drew near, when she lost interest in the things of this world and kept calling to her loved ones who had "passed before." ^ Hospitals, doctors, nurses, kind' friends could not stay the death angel; and her pure soul passed to its re-, ward. Sunday morning, at Indiantown! %' - church, funeral services were held i by her pastor, Rev. W. R. Pritchett,: r and she was laid to rest in the ceme-, K terv. The lovely flowers that cover-' I. fc ed her grave will soon be withered > ' and cast aside, but her beautiful spirit i of unselfishness wi'l live on and grow more fragrant with the passing years.

Solicitor Gasque Hopes to Have it Thrown Out. 1 1 Florence, June 27.?Edmund D. j Bigham may be thrown out of the 1 supreme court of the state on his 1 latest attempt to save himself ' :"rom the electric chair for the mur- j ier of his brother, L. Smiley, in a < >*ery short time, according to the an - 1 louncement yesterday morning of L. < VI. Gasque, solicitor of the Twelfth < :ircuit. Recently, the supreme court j i idopted a rule whereby it refuses! i :o review a question of fact, as dis- i ] inguished from a question of law 1 ind judiciary discretion, once the <* ower court has passed on the facts i n the premises. Under this rule, 1 die solicitor may move, after ten j lay's notice to the attorney on the 1 >ther side of the case, to dismiss ] Jie motion for a new trial and get ] in answer without waiting for the ' edious processes of the court. I intend to avail the state of this 1 -ale," Mr. Gasque said here this 2 norning. "If the supreme court fol- < ows the rule it has laid down, as 1 here is no reason to think it would 1 lot do, the Bigham case will not 1 mng in the supreme court a year < onger." Only last week, A.

He has forty days in which to perfect his ippeal and because of the volume of ;he record, he is hardly expected to .'Omplete his appeal much before the ilut. Then Mr. Gasque will require A a days in which to perfect his noifce to dismiss the appeal. This will '.tarry the case beyond the date of Tqly 14, which is set for the execu;ion. That Bigham will have to be esentenced, unless he wins his ap>eal, is certain. o 'RESIDENT ENTHUSED OVER EDUCATION. / Public Utterances of Highest Officials Considered Important by Legislators. (Capital News Service) Washington, June 26.?Senators and epresentatives in favor of the ro.vner-Sterling bill to establish a lepartment of education with a secre- 1 ary in the president's cabinet are liahlv enrnuraced over recent public itterances of the two highest offi:ials in the land. In a speech made 0 P.inceton men, President Harding isserted that there was nothing berond the power of a well-educated nan to attain, and said he envied the roung men who had the modern op>ortunities for going to college. "It's nuch more fun to be a collegian than 1 president," he ended. Vice-President Coolidge has decided dews on the subject of public school sducation and the need and benefits >f all kinds of education. He has just xystalized his views for publication n a paragraph which is being widey quoted. He said: "The great service which educatiop j nust perform is to confirm our faith n the world, establish our settled - onvictions, and maintain an open nind. The heritage of all the past is leither mean nor insignificant. It is i high estate. The work of the world s neither undignified nor degrading. :t lacks neither character nor nobility, t is the means and measures of all eal manhood. It is truly the creaion and redemption." The Towner-Sterling bill will corre-1 ate and make interacting many edu- j national agencies which today function I nore or less ineffectually because vorking at cross-purposes with oth- i srs: it will aid the states to a better i? )ublic school system and thus,, in Mr. j ^oolidge's words, "confirm our faith!1 n the world." 1 ^ i< Rev.

"Once upon a time there was a rertain man living in (Columbia) S. named John (Smith) (Mass.) He lad two daughters, one named (Agnes Scott) (Ga.,) the other (Lucy Cobb) [Ga.) These girls liked to go out nto the meadows, where among the [Sweet Briar) (Va.) they could (Converse) (S. C.,) with each other. Their 'ather wanted to send them to the >cst college in the country so he went [Due West) S. C., to inspect the >chooIs beyond the Mississippi. Not iking these, he went North to Poughjeepsie, N. Y., where he visited (Vasiar). From there he traveled through Massachusetts visiting (Wellesley) ind' CR&JcTtffe). tfone of these great; nstitutions pleased him, so he came >ack to his native state and decidng that (Winthrop) was the best ilace after all, sent his two daughers there. After they had gradutted, a young man by the name of [Coker) S. C., fell in love with the >ldest daughter and said, "I'm gong to (Lander)" S. C. He did. rhey were married and went to housekeeping in a (Limestone) house. [Tie other daughter became a teach>r at (Bryn Maur) Pa. When the papers were corrected t was found that four ladies had ied for the prize, Mesdames J. P. nabinet, L. C. Dove, L.*R. Mcintosh, ind L. W. Gilland. The old-fashionid method of drawing straws was esorted to, in order to decide upon he winner. Mrs. L. R. Mcintosh was he lucky one and was presented with i framed photograph of Dr. David Bancroft Johnson, the revered and beoved president of Winthrop CollegeIce cream, lady-fingers and small lakes were served by the hostess, issisted by Mrs. W.

As a feature of the final drive now being made by the Tri-State Tobacco Growers' Cooperative rasociation between 800 and 1,000 fanners were here yesterday to hear Mr. John Blanks tell of the merits of the Co- N operative Tobacco association in Kentucky. Mr. Blanks is an official grader of the Kentucky Burlcy association and has taken careful note of the workings of the new cooperative plan in that great tobacco growing state. He stressed the fact that "It is Right;" that it is the greatest forward movement in the history of this country for the farmers who specialize in the growing of tobacco. He unhesitatingly denounced as false a lot of yellow-sheet propaganda that has been circulated by pin-hookers and grafters who have for years made fortunes by preying upon the farmers. On the other hand he offered much substantial evidence of the splendid benefits derived by fanners thrdugh the cooperative association in Kentucky and made it very clear to his hearers here yesterday that the plan of the association in Virginia, North and South Carolina means the salvation of the tobacco growers. Mr. Blanks' remarks were /tlAnta /lllf AW/1 f A f UA WAinf 1W AlTAm ucai-vub <uiu i>u vuc puutvy IU c?wjr respect the most impressive argument heard here in behalf of the cooperative movement. He was so convincing that after the speaking 100,000 or more pounds of tobacco was signed up by the farmers who have been reluctant to enter into the cooperative plan. By the time the campaign closes it is generally believed that Williamsburg county will be one hundred per cent, for the association. Stores and business places were closed here yesterday so that the business men of the town could attend the big meeting. It was first assembled in the court house but it wt^s soon found that it would not accommodate the crowd and at the suggestion of Mr. E. C. Epps the meeting was held on the yard. Mr. Blanks pointed out to the farmers just how the tobacco would be graded and handled as it is brought into the associations warehouses; how they will receive, immediately, checks for amounts covering one-half or more of the full value of the tobacco and warehouse certificates which will be as good as gold bonds. Representative citizens of the coun ly ana town are campaigning uie county today for new signators, and it is believed that by the end of the week this county will be solid for the association. o r i News From Salters. Salters Depot, June 28.?Favorable weather the past ten days has made a noticiable change in the crops around here. They are looking much better and we are hoping for a good harvest.
