this sketch, better known as Tom
Martin, was born in Georgia Jan.
Z. I847, and fell into that deep
sleep from which waking will be
eternal October II, 1911, in the
65th year of his age. He was
we'll known in the southern part
of the county. He was fond of
the society of his fellows; he took
an active interest in the public
welfare of the community. Hon.
est by instinct and generous to a
fault he was ever ready to extend
the helping hand to those in need.
He was of rugged physique and
of forceful character; his opinions
were usually spoken with appall-
ing candor.
He was a member of the Meth
odist Protestant Church. His
father moved to this state while
Tom was a child and kept a stage
stand on the old Anderson road,
He did a hard days work, ate
his supper and retired for the
night. His daughter hearing a
noise went to him and found him
dying. He never regained con-
seriousness.
| He leaves a wife, six sons. two
daughters, several sisters and a
host of friends who mourn his
death.
Little did the writer of this
article think when he heard Bro.
Perry Warmack announce at the
Sunday evening prayer service,
that Uncle Tom Martin would
conduct the service next Sunday
evening, that ere that day come

FOOD VALUE OF CHEESE.

According to a government report. the econ
omy and food value of cheese is matter of
growing Importance in the United States where
the cost OF living eating and drinking
has come to be the chief consideration with the
vast majority Of the population. Strange to say
that cheese, doubtless well-known product Of
the earlier history of man. is mentioned only
three times in the Old Testament once in the
book Of job, tenth chapter, tenth verse in the
inquiry, Hast thou not poured out as milk and
curdled me cheese?" and twice in reference
to David once in l. Samuel, chapter seventeen,
verse eighteen, and in ii. Samuel chapter
seventeen, verse twenty -nine is pointed out.
In the first of these references Jesse saws to
young David after furnishing him with parched
corn and ten loaves of bread for his brethren
and carry these ten cheeses unto the captain Of
their thousand and look how thy brethren fare"
which gift was to make fair weather with the
captain. This cheese probably simple prod
net easily made.
The digestibility of cheese is the subject of a
government report by G. F. Doane, who takes
note of several varieties, but especially of the
American chedder cheese so-called "fuIl
cream of the dealers, which is foremost in the
quantity made and consumed. The so-called
Swiss cheese is perhaps second while from an
emonomic view point the kinds of cheese made
from skinned milk principally cottage cheese,
are OF great Importance Imported cheeses with
Camembert and Roquefort leading are cXpen-
slve and OF such nature that few care to eat
more than small quantity at time The wa
ter soluble material in well cured cheese is high
while in the uncured product it amounts to little
The milk solids are very digestble and made
an almost perfect food 1t is held that the popu
lar idea that cheese causes intestinal derange-
ment Is erroneous, except when new cheese in
unduly large quantities is eaten.

RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION.

President Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, in his annual report, calls
upon the workingmen Of the country to demand a
restriction Of immigration. He lays stress on
the probable influx Of European labor to the Pa
ciic coast following the opening of the Panama
canal and says that means must be found
by the federal government for regulating it.
There is great deal of merit in his COM
ment. Restriction of immigration to keep out
the mdesirables is one of the vital problems of
the nation The barriers now raised not suf-
cient, for tens of thousands Of Europe'S paupers
and criminals are pouring them every year.
Canada, III her settlement of the vast PROV
mceS of the Northwest, has tried restriction with
notable success. She imposes the necessity of
possessing sufficient money to live for year up
on all who file on her lands in Alberta and
other provinces. The Canadian Pacific pursues
the same policy in its colonization schemes and
finds that the requirement does not retard de-
velopment, might think On the other
hand, the financial qualification nsures a steady
and stable progress and that is what every grow
ing country needs.
Nationality, says the Sacramento Union it
would not be right to make man s privilege of
enjoying political freedom dependent on his
possession Of money; it would be contrary to the
traditions that ran back to to the first landing on
plymouth Rock. But i'll another way the result
sought by labor could be attained The requisites
for admission could be made literacy and clean
plll OF moral health. Inc law could require that
every person seeking home in the United States
be able to read and write in his native language
and present acceptable evidence of responsibility

we're, for any person lacking in ambition as
to have neglected to acquire even the rudiments
Of an education would not make desirable
citizen while the provision for "A passport of
morality, signed by American consular rep.
rrSentative abroad, would keep out the felons
that come by thousands and gravitate into the
slums Of our large cities.
It is the ignorant and criminal immigrant that
American labor has to fear, for his standard Of
life is 50 low that he is prepared to enter at one,
into an unjust and ruinous competitor with the
enlightened and patriotic working classes of this
country Thus, i'll opinion immigration
should he restricted, and to that end labor should
direct its efforts

Settlers Are Given
More Aid by Ruling

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Settlers on
government irrigation projects who find
they have taken more land than they are
able to meet the various charges on may
relinqulsh part of It and have the pay
ments already made credited to the
charges against the retained part, accord
ing to a decision today by Secretary of
the Interior Fisher. The settler may re-
linqush a second tract IL he stll finds
himself overburdened, but the minimum
area he may hold is ten acres.
Experience has shown, Il was pointed
out here today, that the forty and eighty
acre units were in many cases too large
for cultivation by man of moderate
means. The secretary's purpose is to pro-
mote the intensive cultivation of land for
which the government has furnished a
water supply and to enable deserving set
tiers TO retain part of their present
holdings which otherwise might BIO lost
through cancellation for non-payment of
charges.
Several days ago the secretary ruled
that no steps would be taken until after
March Is. 1912. TO enforce forfeiture for
failure of settlers to make payments on
entries and water right applications
