WEST SPRINGS West Springs, Oct. 12.?Miss Mallie West died suddenly here on last Thursday about noon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. West. About the first week in June she underwent an operation for appendicitis at Steedley's hospital at Spartanburg. The operation was successful but in a few days typhoid fever developed, and for sometime her condition was extremely critical. However, she grew better and was permitted to come home and receive the loving ministrations of her relatives and many friends for a few weeks. Apparently she had very nearly gained her full strength. On the 1 morning of her death she assisted in preparing the noon-day meal and was, sitting, engaged in doing some needle work, when suddenly, without warning, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, her pure spirit was "called on high, to forever live with the Lord." Miss West was about 26 years of age. For several years she had been a consecrated member of West Springs Baptist church. For the past seven or eight years she had charge of one of the classes in the Sunday school. She I was aiso secretary of the Woman's Missionary society and church organist. The funeral and interment was at West Springs* on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The church building would not seat the large crowd that was present and fully one-third of the congregation had to remain on the outside. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. t. Smith. The following acted as pallbearers: Dr. D. Herbert Smith, W. F. Lancaster, Arthur F. Lancaster, A. P. Bogan, C. D. Bogan and T. J. West.

JONESVILLE Jonesville, Oct. 12.?While the great war is going on over the water there is a continual warfare going on in this country between the bulls and the bears over the price of cotton. I can't exactly understand why the bears, as they are called, are always hammering and pecking on the price of cotton t beat*it down. It seems they would run it down to three cents if they could. Mr. E. R. Aycock is preparing to build a nice dwelling house on his plantation about three miles east of Jonesville. We have had two white frosts and the air is cool and bracing from the north. There is but little of the vegetation that is nipped as yet by the frost. Cotton is opening very fast and the farmers are quite busy. Mr. Angus Littlejohn has decided to enter the ministry and has gorn to the Presbyterian seminary in Columbia to prepare himself for the important work of the ministry. Young Mr. Littlejohn's grandfather, Mr. J. Starks Bailey, was a Presbyterian minister and who was a fine preacher it seems that Mr. Littlejohn is inheriting some of his grandfather's chosen calling. He is the first young man from Jonesville ever to enter the ministry. I hope he will succeed. McGowan Littlejohn, a United States soldier, who has been in the Philippines and other places for the past three years, is now at home on furlough. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Littlejohn and they are to be congratulated on such a fine looking, intelligent young man and soldier as their son. Mr. Albert McWhirter, of Columbia, is spending some time with his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McWhirter. The entertainment at the Bishop school house Saturday evening at the preliminary opening of the school there for the fall session was a successful occasion. Several speeches were maae ny me patrons and others, rhe music was fine and the supper was good and bountiful. Mrs. James Whitlock will teach the school. I notice that Gov. Manning and one attorney, Mr. Robinson, of Columbia, advises against the State warehouse company consolidating with the Atlantic Warehouse company. This is good advice, as I see it. The farmers had better be sligh of politicians and all organizations that are so anxious to handle their cotton for every time they touch the farmer they are like the pickpockets. The farmers is touched sure enough. I have already advised and I still advise the farmers to handle and manage their own cotton. Quite a number of people all over this country, many of them poor people and' some of them wtdows invested their hard earnings in cotton mills a few years ago but where are their investments now? Gone up in futures and one Mr. Milliken of New York and the Parker merger owns the stock. The people have the experience and Parker and Milliken owns the goods. I speak advisedly for I am one that got touched along that line. I lost another comrade and eood friend in the death of Mr. C. B. Bobo. He and I belonged to the same regiment and marched and fought side by side for three years and Chaney was always at his post of duty and I considered him one among our best of citizens. Telephone. RICE-HUMPHRIES. Miss Lona Mae Humphries, daughter of Mr. J. W. Humphries, and Mr. W. C. Rice, son of Mr. C. H. Rice, two prominent and popular young people of Padgett's Crcflk and Sedalia neighborhoods, were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Wednesday evening, October 6, 1915. A large concourse of friends and relatives were present when Rev. L. L. Wagnon spoke the words that made them man and wife. A delightful repast was served immediately following the ceremony. PACOLET, ROUTE 2 Pacolet, Route 2, Oct. 11.?The past few days have been very cold and we have had a light frost. This reminds us that winter is near at hand. rni i? - - - i ne iarmers are busy picking cotton and some are making molasses. There seems to be a bountiful sorghum crop this year. This will cut down one item of expense for the farmers. Mr. Dillard has purchaseo a new cane mill and he has made something over eleven hundred gallons of molasses without going more than one and one-half miles from his home. This speaks well for the community. It shows that the farmers have begun to realize that they must live at home The Pacolet school opened this morning after being closed for three weeks on account of scarlet fever being in the school. There will be an entertainment a> the Pacolet Baptist church Sunday night, October 19. It will be in connection with the missionary work. The public is cordially invited. A large crowd attended Sunday school at the Mabry school house Sunday afternoon. A number of visitors were present. We hope they will come gaain. Everybody is welcome. Miss Minnie McBride spent Sunday with Miss Bertha Hart. Miss Mae Storey was the guest of Miss Ada Conrad Tuesday night ano Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. McBrido and children, of Cedar Springs, spent Sunday on the route. Mrs. W. E. McBride is on the 3iek list at this writing. Solo.
