no further agitation of the matter.
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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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. The prop- E

our own hands if we choose the darker
part by faking resolutions to break I

'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. Refreshments were Q
