; Bees and Honey.
(By S. Cheatham.)
' -r^The queen is by far the mest im
portant inhabitant of a bee hive. It
is not known whether she was the
one referred to as king by past gen
erations, and to this day a great
v many people will ask about the
king bee. There is no jVing. In all
probability the queen and the drone
were referred to as indiscriminately
aa the king bee. There is a queen,
however, in every normal colony of
bees. She is the mother of all other
bees in the colony. She is regarded
with very marked defference by the
other bees, so much that they will
' defend her to the very lapt. If lhere
is anything that possesses more grit
than a well bred bull dog it is an
enraged horley bee defending its
home and mother. ' The queen lives
from two to four years and in her
bee days lays from two to three
thousand eggs every twenty-four
hours during the waam months. At
five or six days old she flies from
her bive on what is called her wed
ding trip. She may fly all around
the immediate neighborhood in
quest of a drone with which to
mate. If she fails to meet a drone
on this trip she will continue to
leave the hive on nice days till she
encounters a drone when she will
go back to her hive fertilized for
the remainder of her life. If she is
an Italian queen and mates with an
Italian drone her progeny will be all
Italian bees.If she meets a blackdrone
her progeny will be bybreds half
Italian and half black. In the for
mer case she is what we call a test
ed or purely mated queen. In the
latter a mis mated queen hybreds are
good honey gatherers, but undesira
t ble on account of their viciousness.
The only time that a queen ever
- leaves her hive is 'when she is on
her wedding trip and when she
leads out a swarm. The queen has
a sting but she will not sting you
but uses her sting only on other
bees, preferably another queen.
The queen when in full way of
laying never has to stop to look for
something to eat. She is always sur
rounded by a rerinue of nurse bees
who d?lirer her ohyle from their
mouths while the laying is going
right on. This retinue of bees show
her amazing defference, always form
ing a circle around her of about an
inch in diameter always with their
haeds pointing to her, moving as
she moves and never entangling her,
keeping always oat of her way that
she may not be hindered in laying.
When the old mother gets old and
failing in laying, thereby failing to
keep up the population, the bees
? raise them a new queen and the old

A Memoria?.
After having lived luppily to
gether for fortv-nine, years, Col.
W. J. Talbert of Paraville, S. C.,
was called upon to give up his* de
voted wife in death Oefc. IL She
had been sick only a .short while,
feefore marriage she was Miss Su
nie Garrett, daughter of Mr. Tho?,
and Mrs. Alartha Garrett, sister of
Dr. Henry Willie ^fcrnett, and of
Mrs. Annie Hammond and al?jo a
sister of Mrs. Wyatt L. HoJ/mes
and Mrs. Eliza Anderson. She was
the last of them te depart, having
out-lived the others.
I baptized her. into the fellowship;
of the Red Oak Grove church in
the winter of 1875, (forty years
ago) since which, she has been .a
very quiet, bumble follower of her
Master, Jesus Christ. Al ?raye quiet
and timid and rather shesifaed pub
licity, her great influence was in
her home which was always the
personification of neatness as she
was a model house keeper.
She leaves to mouju her depart
ure, her husband, Col. W. J. Tal
bert, and a son, T. Garrett Talbert,
and a daughter Mrs. Dr. W. A.
Blackwell, both o? Parksville.
They have one son dead, Eddie
Talbert who married Miss Lemie
Mays. All have tali, but the
greater losses that of the husband
by whose side she had gone one
half century.
May the rich Grace of God sus
tain them.

One of Interest to Cor Readers.
Good news beare repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, evon If we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we feel
secure in accepting ils truth now.
The following experience of an
Edgefield woman is confirmed after
tbree years.
Mrs. -K L Lowe, Cedar Row,
Edgefield, says: uMy back had both
ered me for months and I became
weak and all run down. From other
symptoms, I knew that my kidneys
were at fault and as Doan's kidney
pills had rid anotfce? of my family
of kidney trouble, I 411 n't hesitate
to try them. They feve me quick
and positive relief.M (Statement
given April 12,181 ij. UTo trouble

Mrs. Lowe said: *t hare had no oc

is no better medicino for kidney
trouble." ?

Why Boys Leave.the Farm.
With far the greater portion of
our lands cultivated in corn and.
cotton and average yields for the'
past 10 years* of less than 20 bhsb
! els of corn/ and only 187 pounds of
lint cotton per acre, the glories ol
^farm life are thrown, somewhat in
the shadow*.
No matter what the social condi
tions,. no matter how ir rea t the af
fection for the attractive old home,
no matter what kind of schools and
how good the roads, the boys are
going to continue to leave the farm,
for the chips, unless their earnings
can be increased. While these ru
ral conditions, which are so desira
ble, can never be attained with our
present yields from the small num
ber of acres which are cultivated by
present methods, if it were possible
to build or purchase these essentials
to a satisfying rural life the boys
would continue to leave the farms
for the cities, unless their labor in
come were increased.
Iowa, with rural conditions' much
better than those of the average
Southern rural community, has suf
fered more from a decreased rural
population. Weare not so certain
that much consideration need be
given to those w^ro are leaving the
farms. Much fewer farm workers
should now bo necessary to produce
the food supplies of a given number
thin "before the introduction of la
bor-savin sc farm machinery.
What the South needs is to con
cern itself less about her sons who
leave the farms aad give more at
tention to those who remain on the
land. If we give as much atten
tion to the education of those who
remain on the farms as we have
given to training doctors, lawyers
and preacher* to fit them to make a
living in the cities; if we traib the
farm boys to handle machinery as
we have those who go to the work
shop; if we teach the farm boys as
much about the business methods
for successful farming as we have
the boys for snccessful merchandis
ing; and if we teach the boys that
stay on tbe farms an much about
plant roots aud the principles of
soil fertility as we have those who
leave the farms about Latin and
Greek roots and the glories of war
and politics, they will be able to
earn enough from the soil to pro
vide the essentials of a satisfying
farm life, and enough more to give
the luxuries and leisure which makes
for culture and give opportunities
for the higher pleasures and ambi
tions, which are really what take
most boys from the farms to the
cities.
We boast that most of our great
men were reared on the farra, but
of how many great men do we boast
among those who have remained on
the farms. Those who have re
mained are probably as great as
those who have left, but there has
not been the leisure, the money and
the opportunities offered them to
show their greatness, or it has been
less appreciated. If we boasted
less of the greatness of those who
have left the farms and more of the
greatness of those who have re
mained, there would be less leaving
the farms in the future. Let us
cease worrying so much about those
who are leaving the farms and give
a little more attention to fitting
those who stay on the farms- to
earn more, and, when this is accom
plished, there need be no fear but
the conditions for a satisfying rural
life will come. Of course, better
conditions for getting more out of
life may be brought about with our
present resources, and all that has
or can be done along those lines is
well worth while; but until the
boys who stay on ;he farms earn
more money, get more for their la
bor, there need exist no hope of
keeping more of the most ambitions
among farm boys from going into
other fields of human endeavor.

Another "Good Road*" Article,
Editor Edgefield Advertiser:- A
(awn's befit assets are the-roads that
lead into it. A town to grow must
be either on a railroad or on other
main highways of travel. The big
ger the town the more roads leading
into it and the better thoi?e roads the
bigger the town.
The town grows hy people com
ing into it. The town mys "Come
?sattle." ItR Storps say "Come bay."
Oar friends say "Come Beens." The
schools say "Come loam." The
churches say "Come pray."
Bat if the roads to this town are
ba^t how can we come buy when
we cannot safely haul home oar
parchases? How can we como settle
arid why should we go through the
mud holes? How can we visit oar
friends all bespattered with this
mud? What shall we come to the
schools to learn if you have not
learned so simple a truth as the val
! ue bf a good road, you certainly do
not offfer the royal road to learning.
How shall we come to pray with a
temper spoiled and a religion all
scarred and scuffed climbing out of
bottomless pit??
The roads within a town or vil
lage are its own and are either kept
up or not kept up at its own ex
pense. The roads leading into it are
often in the hands of officials at a
distance who have no paaticular in-1
terest in the town's welfare. In this |
case the town that cares for own
roads will find that it pays to give
some care and attention to these in
coming roads. Even though it's the
other man's job, it's this town's
profit.
very moderate amount or even
a large amount 'ofi work with the
King drag for several miles out on
either of these incoming loads will
be much more than repaid to the
town that does it by these buyers
and settlers and friends and learners
and prayers who will come over
good roads and not over bad ones
and who don't know and don't care
whose job it is to make them good.
The town that is not patching |
the holes in its own roads will not
patch another man's and from this
town all these people will stay away
and the town will just stick in the
mud and wonder why.
