laws. He began practice in 1899 in
the Office of John Dymond, Jr. In
1902 he was appointed notary by
Governor Heard, and did all the no
tarial work for the. State Oyster Com
Entry Into Politics.
He inherited his love for politics,
and eight years ago made q bold bid
for the Secretary Of State. Without
any organization, and with little
backing. he made tireless and tell
ing, campaign, and although the Sc
lection of the incumbent, John T.
Michel, was a foregone conclusion,
Mr.. Hebert astonished the wiseacres
by polling 1929 votes out Of w.
488. the total cast. He quietly re-
sumed work and when another pri-
mary was announced-fou years later,
he again became q candidate. His
experience and his enlarged acquaint-
anceship stood him in gsod steal,
and he surprised the oldest politici-
ans by his brilliant victory over A.
Villeret, since deceased. He hal
served three years Of his term, and
was known as ont OF the hardest
workers in Office, remaining at his
desk for long hours many nights.
Besides being q Knights Of Colum-
bus, Mr.. Hebert was an ardent Elk,
and also was affiliated with the Buff
faloes and the Woodmen Of the
World. Six years ago. on the day
after his birthday, he married Miss
Beatrice Berthelot, and she and three
children survive, the oldest five years
Of age. He leaves four brothers,
Humphrey B. and Clarence s. He
bert. of this city, Lawrence T., Of
White Castle, and T. Raymond He
bert, of Plaquemine, and one sister.

other relatives were constantly at his
side. his own cheerfulness aad cour-
age helped, and he seemed on the
verge Of recovery. when he took a
turn for the worse, complications SET
In, and the fight was lost. Tue an
gel of death crossed the threshold be-
fore the. maternity angel, ana the
devoted wife turned from one to meet

test, religion upheld the parting
couple and gave both strength.
Burial at Old Home.
According to his last wish, the
body of Mr.. Hebert will be horne to
the old cemetery at st. Rapheal's g
Chapel, just across the river from st.
Gabriel, leaving for the latter sta
tion on the Valley train at 7:15
O'Clock: this morning. His mother is
buried there, and it adjoins the old
homestead where he was born. The
friends of his boyhood and his man
hood will gather, Knights Of Colum-
bus from New Orleans and Plaque
mine will unite in tribute, and Faith
er Niece, of Bayou Goula, will con-
duct the ceremony.
Mr.. Hebert's natal day was Janu-
ary S, 1879, and he was the son of
Alexander Hebert, for sixteen years
the district attorney for the section,
and prominent in political and So
c1al life Of his period, who died only
a year ago at the age Of 73. His
mother was Clarissa Roth, also . ma
tive of Iberyille. He was the young
est child Of the family save .,ne, a
sister, who was the first to break
the family circle. He attended the
public and St. Johns parochial
schools, and then entered Spring Hill
College, receiving his A. B. degree in
1897. He studied law at Tulane
University, and was admitted to the
bar. Later, Spring Hill bestowed

Syrup from Waterme.ons.

A delicious table syrup can be
made from watermelons. according
to fruit-juice specialists of the United

This affords farmers convenient
means of using surplus watermelons
which otherwise are allowed to spoil
in the field.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1915-09-02
is the following report:

We congratulate Miss Eunice Har-
per, the winner in this contest, and
assure her and also those Of her
friends who voted for her that The
Record is just as anxious to see her
selected Queen of the Harvest Festi-
val as any one of them could possi-
{ bly, be. We would feel the same
way toward any one of the candi-
dates who took part in the contest
from this county, had another been
chosen, but of course only one could be
elected, according to the rules, and
while The Record had no choice in the
matter, Gf it did it could not exer-
else it, we feel that the selection
made by it's readers is a most admir-
: able one and will certainly be
source of qualification to all who
know Miss Harper.
The young ladies who are selected
by the various counties will have
their pictures printed in beauty
tsupplement which will be distributed
in almost every county in South
Carolina through the leading paper
in the county. The readers of each
paper will have the privilege of yot-
ing for the young lady of the lot
who they believe is the most beauti-
full, and when all the votes haye
been received by the committee in
charge, whoever is the choice of the
ballots of the State will be crowned
Queen.
This contest, we wish it under
stood, has nothing whatever to do
with the Beauty Queen campaign
now on for the selection of young
lady to preside as queen of the
williamsburg county fair to be held

~YOUTH LEADS THE WAY"
How ZOO Boys Added $40, 900, 900
to the Wealth of Ohio.

In the September American Mag
azine Stanley Johnson begins series
of articles entitled. Youth Leads
the Way" in which he will report
many new and wonderful facts
about the developments in agricul-
ture recently made in this country
by boys and girls. A suggestion of
the tremendous contribution made
by the youth of America is to be
found in the following brief extract
taken from Mr. Johnson's article:
Twelve hundred boys in the sum-
mer of 1914 added S20.000,000 to
the productive wealth of the State
of Ohio. This was their response to
the call for help. They were the
corn club boys OF the Buckeye State.
They raised the average yield Of
corn per acre from 35 bushels to 81,
a gain of $2O,OOO,OOO a year to the
State" says A P Sanders, president
of the Ohio Agricultural commission.
Il have chosen this instance be-
cause it illustrates the need of help,
the awakening, and the way the
people of Ohio showed their appre-
citation. The business men of the
Buckeye State went deep into their
pockets and sent the entire twelve
hundred boys to Washington, to
New York city, and later gave them
a trip to the big Panama show at
San Francisco. Young Arnett Rose
of Lima won the honor of being the
bov champion corn grower of Ohio
two years in succession, raising 131
bushels on an acre in 1918, and 15S
bushels in 1914. But the Ohio peo-
pie understood that it was the entire
twelve hundred boys who deserved
their gratitude.
There was a real need for this
help. The corn crop of Ohio diminish
ed %, 900, 900 bushels between 1912
and 1913. That is very grave
loss. Ohio's greater population still
lives in the country-and her rural
population embraces one twentieth
of that of the republic.
But Ohio is not alone in this eco
nomic affiiction; it is nationwide.
And the young generation, between
the ages of ten and eighteen, in an
all-over-the-nation, splendidly-organ-
lied club movement, under the di.
rection of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is going to
pull the country up and out of its
dilemma"
