Tribute to Mrs. Bettie Allen. ;
The Death Angel entered the home
of Mrs. Mary Allen Ashley of Fruit
Hill, Saluda county on Wednesday
night at nine o'clock, April 26, 1922,
and bore away the sweet spirit of her
beloved mother, Mrs. Frances Eliza
beth Adams Allen, widow of the late
Capt, Walter Scott Allen.
Mrs. Allen was the youngest
daughter of the late Joseph Adams
of the Elmwood community of Edge
field county, and leaves one devoted
sister, Mrs. Sue Adams Daniel of
near Saluda, three brothers and a sis
ter having gone on before.
Besides the faithful and devoted
daughter, Mrs. Ashley, she leaves
four sons, equally as devoted, who are
completely crushed because "Mother"
to whom they have looked so long for
loving council and advice, has gone
from them. The sons are Dr. Ben Lee
Allen of Saluda, William Orsamus
and Walter Scott Allen of Fruit Hill,
and Joseph Adams Allen of Saluda.
Her oldest child, Mrs. Lizzie Allen
Johnson died about six years ago,
and the second, Miss Maggie Allen,
died just as she reached young wo
manhood.
Mrs. Allen was a devoted Christian
woman, a member of Rocky Creek
church for many years, being at the [
time of her Home-going, 77 years of
age.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by her pastor, Rev. W. P. Brooke,
being assisted by Rev. H. L. Baggott
of Ward, S. C., and Rev. H. B. White,
a former pastor, and Rev. G. S. Bear
den of the Lutheran church of Salu
da. Eight nephews of Capt. Allen and
Mrs. Allen acted as pall bearers.
She was laid to rest in the family
burial ground in sight of the dear old
home, where she had lived since her
marriage, just after the Civil war.
Lovely flowers covered her grave.
Some day
"I shall know the loved one who has
gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meet
ing be;
When over the river, the peaceful
river,
The Angel of Death shall carry
me."
A DEVOTED NIECE.
A Wonderful Health
Opportunity.
J Dr. Ernest Cooper, of Columbia,
the eminent specialist, who has
charge of the State Tuberculosis \
camp in Columbia, is to be in Edge- ?
field on Friday, July 7th, for a free ,
examih|ation of white and colored ,
people the. f ormer in the morning "
and the latter in the afternoon, at a< .
clinic to be held in the rooms back of
the offices of Drs. Tompkins and
Marsh.
This is a golden opportunity given
to the county by the State Tubercu- \
losis Association, Edgefield having 1
made a contribution to it through the
sale of stamps at the Christmas sea
son.
A clinic will be held in Johnston
on Saturday, July 8th, and it is ear
nestly hoped all suspects and con- "
tacts of the whole county will be in
fluenced to avail themselves of this
free examination at one or the other
clinics. All ministers and leaders are
urged to assist in bringing this good .
news to the people for only by the :
concerted.effort of all the people can
the maximum good be gained.
For Fall Tomatoes.
Clemson College, June 19.-Many '
gardeners and farmers who wish to ;
grow tomatoes for market on a small
scale are asking just now for infor
mation on growing fall tomatoes,
says Prof. C. C. Newman, horticul- \
turist, who makes the following sug- '
gestions.
It is well to make two plantings of 1
seed-one the first week in June and .
another about two weeks later, us
ing a standard variety such as the :
Stone .Thin out the plants so that
they will become stocky by the time
they are transplanted in late July.
It is advisable to have plants that j
are at least 6 inches tall, as the large (
plants stand transplanting in mid
summer very much better than the .
small ones. Plants 6 or 8 inches tall \
should be set three-fourths of their
length in the soil.
Plant tomatoes in an open furrow
rather than on a bed; fertilize them
liberally with well decomposed sta- '
ble manure, applied in the drill and '
a complete fertilizer analyzing about
8 percent prosphoric acid, 4 percent
nitrogen and 4percent potash at
the rate of 1000 pounds per acre.
The rows should be four feet apart
and the plants set 3 feet apart in the
row.
In transplanting the tomatoes use
a liberal quantity of water around
the roots of the plants, and take care
that dry soil is drawn about each
plant after it has been watered, to
prevent the soil from baking around
?the plant.

Tobat
Women Should Enroll.
ti It is important that every woman
of voting age should enroll in the
Democratic club nearest her place of
residence in order that she may be
qualified to cast a vote in the pri
mary elections to be held this fall. As
it is said by County Chairman How
ell, in notice published this week, it
will give that section of the county
undue advantage whose women en
roll, if there are other sections where
they do not enroll in the same propor
tion. Women may not have liked the
idea of having the ballot, but since
they have it, it is their duty to use
it.
The Press and Standard wishes to
urge the women of the county to scan
the life and history of the men who
offer for election and if they ring
true to vote for them, otherwise to
cast their ballots for those who come
nearest their ideals. It will be well
for every voter to remember that a
man does not become a good man af
ter he offers for office. He can not
make goodness in a night. It takes a
lifetime to grow a really good man,
and one whom it will do to trust. The
oily and smooth tongued politician
may net be the best man for the job.
The women will learn, however, as
fcdjf believe they are apt pupils in the
political lessons of the times.
The thing about which we are con
cerned now is that all the voters of
the county, men and women, enroll
and vote.-Walterboro Press and
Standard.
