Thoughts On the Death of a Friend.
jlis. Emma Boroughs died at the
b me of her brother-in-law on August
7 , 1891, aged 29 years and 24 days.
Everything that loving hands could
do was done to alleviate her suffer¬
ing and her faithful physician did all
in his power to allay the fatal malady,
cvcrtheicss death claimed her as his
ietim. During her long illness of
seven months the most intense suf-
firing pressed heavily upon her, yet
,iiic never once murmured or com¬
plained. She told her sister she was
perfectly ready and willing to go if
the Master called and she went with
a sweet smile when the summons
came. As the sunset of the life that
now is, gathered around her the sun-
rise of the life to conic cast a ray of
holy beauty on her lips, and there it
rested in a heavenly smile, while the
shadow of woe rested upon the dear
ones around her. Amid a large con¬
course of weeping relatives and
friends her remains were intcred lie-
side her mother in the cemetery at
Cross Roads church. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. W.
,T. Purcell, who took for a text the
following words: “Concerning them
which are asleep that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.”
Emma was a Christian in every
sense of the word. She joined the
Baptist church iu youth, and gave
her sweet life up to the service of the
great father of all. She possessed
the faculty of making and retaining
the friendship of all with whom she
cainc in contact. It is inexpressibly
sad to record the death of one so sud¬
denly out off in the bloom of a bright
and useful womanhood. A nobler,
more generous spirit never blessed
the world with the sunshine of its
presence. Eulogy adds nothing to
the staunch and womanly attributes
which made her esteemed by all who
appreciate true worth. Death is
stamped upon everything pertaining
to earth. The great, the good, the
beautiful and pure, must share the
same fate and bend to the same in¬
flexible law. Such must have been
the conception of the inspired Job,
who, when soliloquizing upon the
destiny of man, enunciated the grand
though melancholy truth, that “lie
cometh up like a flower and is cut
down; he flecth as a shadow and con-
tin ueth not.”
If however we look death squarely
in the face, it is not a dreadful thing
to die. There are so many stormy
clouds, so much darkness, so many
tangled threads, so much sorrow and
suffering in life, it were almost a
blessing to escape in the early morn
before the rifts in the clouds are
closed, and the rose tints have faded
from the sky. We believe that the
capabilities of life are too grand to
be sundered by death, hence we shall
live again. Life is an endless, on¬
ward and upward journey—there is
no final resting place, no final home.
As we continue the grand march
across the great suinmerland of eter¬
nity the landscape will grow more
lovely, the music and the sunset
more glorious. Death separates us
but a little while from those we love.
We meet again where the tears are
all wiped away, and where there will
be no more sad farewells.

Sullivan Hardware Company.
Parties wanting to buy machinery
any kind should write to the Sullivan
Hardware Company, Anderson, S. C.
and get their prices before placing
their orders. This firm makes a spe¬
cialty of selling steam engines, cotton
gins, presses, saw mills, wagon scales,
shafting, pulleys, etc., and we un¬
derstand that their prices arc very
low. They are general agents for
the Erie City Iron Works engines,
Smith cotton gins, and DeLoach
saw mills, several of which have been
soln in this and adjoining counties
and arc giving perfect satisfaction.
They also report large sales of thj
Thomas Suction Cotton Elevator,
which unloads the cotton from wagon
to gin by suction and is now becom¬
ing so popular among all ginners.
They ask us to say if parties who are
needing machines of any kind will
write and state what is wanted they
will take pleasure in quoting rock;
bottom prices.

Now don’t neglect to sow oats.
You will need them next spring, and
if you raise more than you need it is
better to sell oats than to buy corn
at one dollar a bushel. Flour will be

sow oats for your stock.

A very pleasant little joke is being
circulated about two of Carnesville’s
handsome young men. It is said that
a special local has been set up for
their benefit and that the type is
never distributed from that local, but
it is merely slipped aside every other
week. Come again, gentlemen.—

Beware of the Humbug.
We are reliably informed that the
man who has been selling Swecdisli
clover seed through this country is
deceiving and defrauding the people.
The seed he sells are red clover seed.
Of course the red clover is good, but
it takes about ten times as much to
sow an acre as it does of the Alsike
or Sweedish clover. You who have
bought the seed had better sow them
on a small lot, or get more to go with
them. Always spend your money
with responsible business men and
you will not be swindled.

I will be in Carnesville during
court week and will be glad to talk

No Dentist Here.
Our doctors can pull teeth when
they are too far gone to fill, but if
your good tooth beging to decay and
hurt you have just got to grin and
endure it, or cry, or grunt, or swear,
just as you are inclined. When your
teeth are all gone you have got to
gum it, for there is no dentist here to
make you a new set of teeth.
A Painful Accident.
Last week Mr. Philip Cromer hap¬
pened to a very painful accident
while at work for Mr. Lunsford. lie
stepped off a sill about two feet high
on ta a ten-penny nail, which went
through his foot. It is feared that
Ills foot will have to lie amputated,
as it is in a swollen and precarious
condition.
A Tin Shop.
We haven’t got one. We were
just going to remark that it is rather
strange that a county so large and
wealthy as Franklin has no tin shop.
It is not likely that a man could make
a large fortune in the tin business
here, but it does seem like some one
might make a good living in that line.
The catalogue of the Carnesville
High School can be found at all the
stores and at this office.
J. H. Maxwell, of Elberton, was in
town yesterday on business.

The Sub-Treasury Plan.
Well, what about it? Will it
efit the people, or will it
the county ? The gold hugs and
emissaries say it is a wild scheme
ten up by the hay-seeders and is
together visionary, and is partisan
its features and class legislation
its principles, and if it becomes a
it w ill bankrupt the country,
factoric*s to shut down and
to stagnate. Well, let's see
this a little. Under the present
etary system less than
of the business people have
of the circulating medium of the
try. Those who control possess
power under existing laws to
or contract, and this was all
about through the present
system, dictated to through the mag¬
nates of the Rothschilds of
hence the law of supply demand
longer controls the prices of the va¬
rious productions of the country. As
a result of the present banking sys¬
tem the forming of trusts and cor¬
ners have been encouraged, and the
prices of the southern cotton and
western grain has been regulated, not
by the law of supply and demand,
but according to the extension of the
as directed by the magnates. Under
this system the farmer has been forced
to take less for their crops than it
costs to raise them, hence oppression
lias become the predominating feat¬
ure. The farmer being forced as he
is to take whatever the buyer secs
proper to give for his produce, leaves
him destitute of means to buy with,
and as the factories are dependent
largely on the farmer to buy their
productions they 'for are forced to close
their factories the lack of sales
for their goods. Now this lack of
sales does not originate from a lack
of demand for the goods, but the lack
of money to purchase the goods with
to supply the demand. Now it is
evident that we need an elastic enr-
rency, a currency that will reach to
all the people. Hence the provisions
of the sub-treasury plan fs of such
that the government is asked to issue
money in sufficient volume to make
it at least $50 per capita, to he let
directly to the people through depos¬
itories on real estate and nonperish-
able farm products at not more than
2 per cent. Now the advantages of
the plan are it enables the people to
draw a certain amount on either his
land, his cotton, corn, wheat, or what¬
ever the law may describe being non-
perishable, and still hold it till there
is a demand by the consumer, keep¬
ing it out of the hands of the specu¬
lator, and the profits that are made
by the middle man will be divided
between producer and consumer, and
besides this it will do away in a great
measure with the dealing ill futures.
The sub-treasury plan will regulate
and make them uniform. The
per cent on money interest will he
and instead of the money
eontroled by a few and let at
will it will be kept in circulation.
Men who have kept their money
hoarded up will he put in circulation,
that have become inopera¬
by reason of not having purchas¬
ers for their goods will be put in ap-
and their goods will find ready
Laborers of every description
will be in demand and can be had at
remunerative price. The sub-
treasury plan is the only plan of re¬
lief that has been offered that will
reach the people indefinitely. We
mean by this it applies to all with
equal force—that is, the merchant,
the lawyer, the doctor as well as the
farmer. But you say the merchant,
the lawyer, and the doctor has none
of those.things that are enumerated.
We answer then he does not need
the relief that is offered, and yet they
will be the greatest beneficiaries, as
the.r business is of such that
need to run it on a cash basis,
their customers having the benefits
of the relief offered from the sub-
treasury plan will be enabled to com-
mand the money, and all risk of col-
lection on the part of the merchant,
lawyer, and doctor arc insured.
