If, as Judge Sease rules, the legisla- ^ ture will have to point the way to P the final dispostion of the stock, funds and fixtures of the institution, the y beneficiaries will not have long to n wait, for the lawmakers will soon be ^ in session. We had so many "S. O. S." re- 0 sponses this week that, with the heavy a line of advertisements, we did not b have the space to publish the list. It will appear next week. In the mean- K time, we beg to assure everyone of ^ our good friends of our hearty appreciation. Thank you, one and all. We wish to express our gratitude, jj also, to those who have recently j joined our ranks. Fifty new names added to our mail list in the past two F weeks is no small matter of comfort to h us. Thanks, a thousand thanks. - e One of our New Year resolutions / is that we will refrain from giving too much advice to farmers, and for that matter, to other people. We intend to c be rather cautious in the free use of ^ advice. After all, the farmers know more about running their farms than f do we. Other people know more e about running their business than we t are able to tell them. In truth, we t purpose running the best county * newspaper in the State, in so far as * we know how, and allowing the fellow in some other line of activity the ^ privilege of doing the same for him- C self. ^__ i l THE FINISHED COURSE. 1 W. H. o. Harri^ Jonesvifle, will will fc give to our readers the sad news of hotel, the serious illness of this good man. <!r" Everybody knows who "Telephone" g^oo is, for over that non de plume Mr. prove Harris has for year contributed reg- a pe( ularly to the columns of The Times, famil It is a personal grief to the editor, as well as a real loss to the paper that Mr. Harris will not write very little, if any, more, for the readers. Mr. Harris has been several times recently examined by physicians, and t^ejr tk i ?n A?IJ l; J iU LI!U_y Ila v t* <111 IUIU XI1 III tllUt LIv;cl L11 J^car was imminent; that he was near the The i end oft the journey. Mr. Harris, was i speaking to the writer, expressed paste very little hope of overcoming the prese serious malady which has fastened it- The self upon him. We wish it might prove otherwise. This good man's life has been a comfort, an inspira- happ tion to many. He holds a warm place wh0 in the hearts of the people of Jones- pros; yille and of Union county. He will A be sadly missed when he has gone on mere the long journey. Yet, it is not all build sadness. Why should it be? When a un(^e good men dies bravely, triumphantly, 1 he crows his years of service with an pjour eternal seal of glory. For seventy- ^ess eight years he has been journeying hart the earthly pilgrimage. This is eight thes< years beyond the alloted span of three ular score and ten years. For many years, tile and since young manhood this faithful enjoj man has walked with God. His faith Mi is a bright crown of glory upon his char! whiteniug head. His good works are fast accumulating into heavenly as- man, sets. He is a rich man, rich in char- Th acier, gooa name ana gooa aeeas. door: Now that he is coming to the close of enrol the day; now that the sun approaches the ( the rim of the western horizon, we Ml pray that the gracious Father will v?ry deal gently with this old man, our Y1.^ friend, neighbor, brother. May these .. IS last laps in life's race bring little of jlK'j pain, much of gladness. "I have their fought a good fight; I have kept the M faith, I have finished my course," ket i wrote the aged apostle. Looking into in c< the future, near at hand, he goes on; 'ness "Henceforth there is laid up for me a M crown of righteousness which the ^rat Lord shall give me at that day." So we feel it is with our friend and an(j brother. Near the close of the earthly jyj day he is. But the close of that day p0pi will bring the Sunburst of another day for that will be wiihout end, v/itl jU\, pain, past without sin and sorrow, eternal, -art- b umphant. j M The years dome swiftly to us all. "We spend our years as a tale that is told. "It fs -boon cut off and we fly away." We should live so that when the end approaches our ragreta will aick be few, ear htfpas many.

Pedestrian. wi I - KELTON I Kelton, Jan. 3.?We are having some beautiful weather just now and many families are changing home3 for this year and all the farmers are iplanning for another big crop of cotton and next fall six or eight cents for the staple and you will hear them cursing the speculators for the low price when they are to blame them- . selves. Just look at the big crop of 1914 and what they got for it and then look at the crop of 1915 and see what they got for it and a wayfareing man, though a fool, can see the folly of raising too much of any kind of a crop. M I believe that most of the peoJfe who have bad colds and grip are^nproving. I went to town recently and I drove a gentle horse, but I met an automobile and the driver of the machine was driving at a rapid rate and just before I met the car my horse jumped toward the car. I jerked him to the right or if she had made another leap to the left she would have been right in front of the car and she would likely have been killed and those in the car, along with myself, for they were fi*mrAllmrv of n cr\nn/l if wmiM 1/1 a veiling OV OUVII M 0|JVVV1 *V uvuiu have been impossible for the driver to have stopped. And as I was returning home I met another car and the driver was driving at a moderate rate ana he saw my horse was a li'ttle shy of the car so he stopped until I passed. And as I came on and met another and as the road was narrow I gave him the signal to drive slow and the driver stopped his car at once. Now you can see difference in men driving cars. Some have sense and use it; others are fools and care not what happens to the public. Now our lawmakers have got to pass a law regulating the speed of all cars on the public highways and to check up when meeting or passing vehicles or else there will be many accidents and many lives lost and not only cars but motorcycles for the most of animals are more afraid of them than they are of cars. The cars are a great blessing to the public when driven with care, so let us all watch and listen, lest we have an accident. Some of us travelling in top buggies can't hear good and may not hear the signal of the approaching car, so the drivers of cars should be very careful. I OAKLAND Oakland, Jan. 4.?The old year is always succeeded by a new one, but our lives are not made new one bit, only as we destine them to be by the K guidance of our footsteps.

'he memories of last Friday night 1 long be stamped on the mind of j writer. I was in Spartanburg the week-end visiting relatives, 1 while there I had the pleasure of ending a New Year's or "watch I ht" party given at the home of Dr. T. Hallman, on South Converse eet, and must add that no enteriment of the kind can possibly surs this one. The appearance of the \ ms gave evidence that only those J refined taste could have had anyig to do with the decorations ich harmonized so much with the ety of the occasion. Besides the .tchy" tricks, games and plays that iryone enjoyed, we have some very set piano and other stringed instruntal music rendered by Mr. Charles 1 Miss Nellie Hallman, which was *y pleasing to the ear. About 10:30 delightful course of refreshments s served. I need not add just how __ was enjoyed because every young Jp J -son knows just how this feature of s program is always accepted. The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. O. WI lue was a scene of gaiety last Fri/ night when all the young people shfi the community had gathered at it home for a New Year's party. e report is that everybody had a md time.
