Death Of j. B. Grant, Esq.

The death of James Benson Grant
occurred at his home, near Salem,
"Wednesday, April 1, 1908. He had
been very uIiwell for abo,i. year,
suffering from the effects of a stroke
of paralysis, and had been confined
to his bed for several months, grad
ually growing worse, and his death
was not unexpected. His remains
We're laid 20 rest In the Whitmire
cemetery Thursday afternoon at Q
O'Clock. He had long been men,
ber of that church.
Mr.. Grant was born near Salem in
lS46 and spent his entire life in
that community. In early life he
was married to Miss Mary Whitmire.
He was the oldest Of family of six
children, thesyoungest of. whom is
now past fifty. Until his death this
family had remained unbroken. Few
families have record to equal this.
With the passing away of Mr.. Grant
another old Confederate soldier has
dropped from the rapidly thinning
ranks of the Confederacy. For, the
past four or five years he had been
Magistrate at Salem.
He leaves a widow and several
children to mourn his death, j.. Whit
Grant, Of Walhalla, being one of his
sons.
The sad news of the death Of Mr..
Grant will be learned with deep re-
gret throughout the whole of Oco-
nee, in every section of which he
was we'll and favorably known. In
his death an honest, honorable and
worthy citizen has been. called to his
reward. He was ever alive to the
interests Of his church and country,
in both Of which he will be sadly
missed. To the bereaved ones is ex-
tended the sympathy of many in
their hour Of sorrow.

QUEEN QUALITY SHOES.

The Thomas G. Plant Company, of
Boston, manufacturers of Queen
Quality shoes, have recently issued
an attractive booklet on "The Bust
ness Situation" 1t brings out in a
striking manner many interesting
facts regarding this great business.
For instance, briefly to quote from
the brochures:
During the recent business depres-
sion which forced other manufactu-
rers TO call their statesmen home, the
queen Quality" statesmen booked
the biggest business they have ever
known. While other factories were
closed or working half time because
of lack of orders, the Queen Quail
ity' factory increased its output from
10000 to 800 pairs a day, keen
Ing It's full force of operatives en-
ployed full time, paying them over
$4,000 per week in cash.
just think what this means While
80 out OF every 100 factories did less
than their normal business during
the past six months, during the same
period, the Queen Quality" factory
largely increased it's business over
that Of any previous season. 1t in
creased It's output 1900 pairs per
day. 1t continued to run and is now
running every day, to the full limit
of Its capacity that 1t may get its
orders out on time.
Amidst all the storms and stress of
panic there stood the Queen Quail
ity'' busipess--solid and unmoved as
the Rock of Gibraltar.
Does not this contrast tell its own
story? Could there be a more i'm
pressive demonstration of the pres
tige ana power of the Queen Quail
ity" trademark, or more convincing
proof of the merits Of Queen Quail
ity" shoes?

Bank of Walhalla,
CAMPAIGN is HARD TO OPEN.
aach Candidate Waiting for the
Other to Start the Ball.
WalhalIa, s. @

sIhere ts no question whatever but
{ tnat there Is plenty OF young fruit
on the political plum rec. and II is
Y equally certain that there will he
lots of little fellows under the trees
this summer trying to shake the
plums down into their own laps. 1t
seems to be the impression, however.
Shat 10 even get under the trees be-
lore the fruit is entirely past dan
ger from a late frost is bad luck.
occasionally one Of "the boys" will
SIP out to a tree, when he thinks
no one else Is around, pinch Off a
leaf or fondle one Of the little plums.
put If twig snaps or the dried
leaves on the ground rustic, he darts
pack under cover, and then the next
FELLOW he. meets gets the benefit of
the unwinding of a yarn about some
other fellow having been noticed
monkeying with the new crop of lit
tA plums that are not yet out of
e1nger-and, of course, that isn't
just exactly right. A fellow ought
by all means to come out boldly,
grab the tree by the trunk, give IL a
vigorous shake, and If he fails to
catch any of the loose green fuit,
then he ought to step out from un,
der and say openly that he's going
TO shake the tree when the fruit is
really ripe. or else quit the business
altogether and let somebody who
knows the art Of shaking trees do the
shake act. TI
~ Not man so far has shaken the
tree where anybody could see or hear
MIN, and as consequence all the
plum hunters are lying low for fear
that they will attract the attention
OF some fellow who otherwise might
not notice the late blossoms and
early fruit If attention were called
TO the trees this thoughtless fellow
might get under the tree out of curl
osity, and one of those busy little
bees that always haunt the plum
trees might drop down and get into
his bonnet and begin to buzz. And
whenever one of these political plum
tree bees begins to buzz the jig's up.
However, somebody's got to shake
the tree first, and that one somebody
had just as well come out in the
open and grab tree 1t is hardly
probable that all the fruit will tum-
bic down In heap on one man. SO
after all there is no great danger IN
being first
After each fellow gets his pockets
full OF plums OR thinks he has them
full-then the race begins, and it has
been intimated that the course will
be over a wet track, and that conse-
quently there Is a possibility Of some
mud, which may be splashed up from
the flying hoofs OF the beasts; or
as has always been the case, one Of
the jockeys, If he gets we'll in the
lead, may stop long enough to grab
handful Of mud to hurl at his pur-
suer. This is not at all nice, how
ever, apd it Is to be hoped that all
the mud on the track will be quickly
dried. Tho mudslinger generally
gets his eyes full before the end Of
the race anyway, so really what's the
use?
