DEATH OF MRS. = l. WHITE
The Grave Claims one of the
leading as We'll as One Of tho
lest Women Of York County.

'>''' w VIC VI Nhpl. % II. w uile,
died suddeuly III her home at
Fort Mill Tuesday afternoon. For
several days Mrs. White had
been suffering with an attack of
gaSlritiS, but appeared to he some
better that day. In the afternoon
she was on the piazza with her
husband, but about ) o'clock he
left her and took his accustomed
walk down town. When he had
gone Mrs. White went into the
house and thence into the bath
room where she had taken n bath.
From there she entered her bed
room, but had only taken step or
two when she fell upon the floor,
face forward, and it is evident
that she expired in few minus
ties, the cause being acute gastritis,
complicated with heart trouble of
some kind.
Mrs. White had promised her
little grandson Elliott Springs,
who was the idol Of her heart,
that she would take walk with
him, and as she did not come as
soon as he expected, the little fell
low went into the fouso and found
his grandmother lying upon the
floor and apparently dead. The
alarm was given, and Capt. White
with physicians responded at once,
but the summons had come to the
good woman as she was already
lifcloss.
The death was great blow to
Capt. White, already in feeble
health, and the news as it spread
was shock to friends everywhere.
She was one of the most lovable
women in the county, pure in
heart and mind and sweet IF dis
position, the friend of the poor
and distressed, and Jealous and
most intelligent worker III every
good cause. Her life aboundeG
in works of charity and good
deeds, and she will be missed in
the community she blessed by her
presence. a worker expressed
this truth beautifully t. us on
Thursday when he said, Eyes,
she will be missed in Fort Mill,
but her loss to the pale faced wo-
men who work in factories will
be Il calamity"
Mrs. White was born in Con-
cord, n. g., November 9th
1913, and was the eldest daugh-
ter Of Robert Washington Phifer
and his wife Sarah Ann. She was
educated at the old Barhamville
Academy near Columbia and ut
Burwell' S school in Charlotte. She
was married to Capt. Samuel f.
~ hite, November 81, 1866, and
ut once went to Fort Mill to live.
To them were born five children

FLOWER AND TREE.

Planting a few trees every fall or
spring, as may be convenient. keeps up
the supply of fruit.
The American persimmon makes a
handsome tree ornamentally consider
ed. 1t has dark green leaves that re-
main on late In the fall.
Carnations do not thrive in the shade
and will not tolerate the presence OF
rank manure. They are easily grN vn
in any good garden soil.
One secret of getting flowers from
potted plants Is to let them get pot
bound. When plant can no longer
keep on growing, it turns its energies
toward producing flowers.
By yearly attention to pruning and
by good feeding a shrub may be re-
newed from season to season and kept
always strong. Old and weak wood
should always be removed.
Ammonia is a plant stimulant. not a
food. While it is useful to force plants
into bloom and growth after the soil Is
exhausted, fertilizer must be applied
or the plant will use up its own vital
fly In bloom.

The boomerang, the Australian ma
tive's weapon Of offense and defense,
referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery of Australia, was doubtless
known before the time of Christ. Pliny
the elder, a contemporary Of our Sa-
viour, writes as follows in his Natural
History" respecting an instrument
made Of the wood of the aquifolia:
IF staff made of this wood. when
thrown at an animal, from want of
strength in the person throwing falls
short of the mark, it will come back
toward the thrower of it's own accord.
so remarkable are the properties of
that tree"
1t is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the
shape Of the staff" and referred its Pc
culiarities to the nature of the wood Of
which it was made.

She sat In the grand stand waiting
for her first football game TO begin.
Her boy had played it ever since she
could remember, and now he had made

Then she surprised her bodygnfrd

She explained her knowledge Of
these strenuous technical details by
saying that her boy cried out like that
when playing dream games In his
sleep.
She did not faint when he tackled
too hard and failed to rise, although
his white face, with a streak of red
blood across the forehead, was staring
up at her.
"You can't hurt my boy" she said.

He was up and at it harder than
ever within the time limit. The Itha-
cans gained five through tackle and
lost as many more yards trying to
round the end. Then something hap
pened.
A sturdy youngster shot out of the
tangled elevens and dashed down the
field toward the goal of the blue ana

whitewash and finally was over the
last one the whole pack at his heels.

ance.

Washington. Nov. 9.-Congress meets
here today and after short time
spent in organizing the new House,
the Fifty-eighth Congress will be In
connlete working order. The Presi-
dents message fox the extra session
will be short one and will deal exclu-
sively with the question of Cuban re-
ciprocity, which is the special bust
ness before Congress. On Saturday
the party caucnses were hello and both
parties chose their leaders, IN what
promises to be an intensely interesting
and politically important session. The
Cuban reciprocity legislation must
originate as a bill in the house, and
when it gets to the senate there will be
much tariff talk, which the repnbii-
cans will encourage, believing tnat
the country is with them, and further
more that in this way they can prevent
q discussion OF the scandals in the
different departments. In fact they
