St A. mimvisr - - Wednesday, Maroli 22,1893. STATE S. S. CONVENTION. Tho Stato Sunday school Con vontion meets at Abbeville next Tuesday hight. The promise of tile attendance of many of the leading Sunday school workers of the country makes it more im portant that the Sunday school workers in every county should attend and catch the inspiration ilowing from .these meetings. Special rates have been made by t ho railroads, and entertainment will be provided by the good people of Abbeville. Who will go from Marlboro ? TOWN OFFICERS. Don't forget the meeting call ed for tho afternoon of the 30 th, to nominate town oflicers. We have reached a ixrint now in the history of our town when every citizen should feel interested in its wehvare. AV o aro now on the up-grade, and the bppprfcunity is ripe for doing something to build up our industries and in vite population. Much depends on the selection of our town of ficers; Come, then, to the meet ing on the afternoon of the 80th. And, just here, we would re mind our people that there are few towns whose financial stand ing will compare with Bennetts ville, and so strong is the conii dence that our worthy Mayor met with no diiliculty in iloating the indebtedness, and withstrict economy and systematic man agement every dollar of interest has been paid on the bonded dobt, and two of the bonds have been retired. AVe are not blow ing; we are only slating facts to show tlie importance of selecting our represen ta live mon. Selfish ness and personal feelings havo no j?aee in working for the pub lic good.

Of the forty-six s (in neting com mittees of the United States Sen ate, South Carolina has repre sentation on eleven; Senator Irby on six and Senator Butler on iive.

It is not by regretting what is irreparable that true work is to bo done, butby making tho best of what we tire.

Somo mon when thoy die aro not missed at all, somo in tho polit iotil sphere, and sonto in tho religious, but Philip Parkoi'j death loaves a void in both ohureh und Slato. Mr. Put kor was boru 14th of Novem ber, 1810, ?11 Adamsvillo township, Marlboro county, S. C., und died nour where he was born. Ho was, thoroforo, in his li eight y-third year, whou on Mavch 13th, hist., his spirit passed sud denly but quietly from life's activo stage into that ?phere of ondloss noliv ity for all that is good and lovely. Our fi io lld WHS, through a long life, au in dustrious and successful funner, a lov ing husband mid father. Ho was for sixty years n member of Pino Grovo oh?rub-ono of itsstrongost ttays-and to his christian faith as truo as stool. The assertion is swooping, but I make it without tho fear of contradiction there never lived in Marlboro county a mou whose sense of tho right was strong er and who wns moro steadfast in tnuiii ttiming what he boliovod to be just and honest towards his fellowmen, biscoun try and his God. Mr. Parkin" was one of a few old mon who would novcr become antiquated, fur tn Statu us well us in Church ho was nlwuys informed and abreast of tho times howovcr rapid their vicisitudes. Energy, piety, truthfulness, honosty, und ttnbility of charuoter,-ho possessed iu no f mall degree each und all of these o?scutiuls of true manhood. His man ner was modest and unassuming, but his lifo is for tho rising generation a lovely pattern, and loaves deeply.sot lessons in those virtues which must grow both for limo and for oternity. In tho graveyard near his homo is where this modest man's silent rclios sleep, und "Tho wreath, that virtue lias prepared, Will cauHO a laurel of evorgreon, To bloom around his grassy tomb." Ho leaves a largo family, an ngod wife, und an old und devoted sister, und quito a host of relatives und frionds to mom n their loss. To this agod und griv od wife and sister me thinks I oan hour wafted buck from tho Pearly Gatos tho beautiful sentimont of tho poot : . :: , ;,. ..>:"., U f,, .-.

Yes, Mr. Parker's dcuth is au appoal to tho youth of bis oominunity to striot ness in moral chnroolor, and devotion to all of those virtues which go to mnko man roost upprociuted while living and mosi missed when dead. His monument stands eighty-two cu bits of solid and imperishable material, which fur from crumbling with time, will grow brighter ns ouch succossivo genotuti oh imbibes more of his teach ings und pi nol ico moro of his virtues.

Wonderful 8cc<lg. Some timo ago we noticed the fact that a now. uso i iud been discovered ior cotton seed. Since we mentioned the fact that an extra sweet brand of sugar could be extracted from cotton seed, it has transpired that rubber cnn be manufact ured from crude cotton seed oil. Tho discoverer of the method keops tho process a secret be cause of its exceeding simplici ty. Ile discovered the method by accident. This much is known : 15 per cent, of real rub ber is added to tho crudo oil, and this, by the unknown pro cess, makes a rubber which the experts cannot tell from genuine rubber. Rubber is exceedingly valuable. New uses for rubber are discovered every day, and each new use increases its val ue. The trees which yield tho rubber gum are of slow growth and must sooner or later, be come exhausted, llubber must keep on increasing in value. Cotton seed will become more and moro valuable as the man ufacture of rubber from it is de veloped. Crude cotton oil costs abottt $186 a ton, while rubber is worth $2,000 a ton. Our advice to the farmers is to turn their attention to the de veloping of some kind of cotton which will be exceedingly pro lific of seed, for tho seed will before long be many times more valuable than tho lint. King cotton is being dethroned and soon Prince Cotton Seed will ascend the throne.-Colum bia Register. A Proposed Compromise.
