Give us men with public spirit.
with the welfare of the whole
community at heart; with en-
couragement for every laudable
enterprise; with assistance for
mankind and with a feeling of
pride for the town in which they
live; with charity in their hearts
as large as their pocketbooks;
with a kindly feeling for home
newspapers, and then support
and aid them. Such men we
need; such are admired; such
men go about the world through
rosy pathways. and never a
frown o'ershadows their brow,
but they are happy in the su-
preme knowledge that they have
done the best they could-they
worked for their fellowman and
thereby assisted themselves.

Prominent Planter Passes.

Frank c.. Whitner, of Rock
Hill, one of York county's most
prominent men and most pro-
gressive and successful farmers,
died in a hospital in Richmond,
Va, on last Wednesday, October
20. Mr.. Whitner had been in
poor health for about two years,
but the immediate cause of his
death was meningitis. The re-
mains were shipped to Rock Hill
for burial.
Mr.. Whitner was born in An
derson county on October II,
1859. He and his brother,
W. C.. Whitner. located in Rock
Hill in 1899. He was graduate
of the law department of the
University of Virginia but never
practiced his profession, turning
his attention to farming, at
which he was very successful,
having a few miles north of
Rock Hill, one of the most
beautiful farms in this sector.
Mr.. Whitner is survived by
his father, Major B. F. Whitner;
two brothers, w. G. Whitner of
Rock Hill, and Harry Whitner of
Roanoke, Va, and one sister,
Mrs. w. l.. Law also of Rock
Hill.

Don't Let High-Priced Cotton
Fool You.

AS this is written cotton is
bringing over eleven cents
pound all over the South, and
the price seems to be still going
up. This, of course, where a
man has lived at home this year
as he should, means good times;
but there is danger that high
priced cotton will make us for
get all about war, low prices,
and all our brave resolutions and
lead us into our old-time all
cotton follies.
Let's look at this thing squarely
friend: 1t isn't the number of
bales of cotton we make that
counts, but our net profits when
the years work is done. Nor in
figuring our net profits must we
for a moment forget that unless
we are soil-building rather than
soil-robbing farmers, we are not
following the most rational. pro-
fitable system. In other words
regardless of how much cotton
we may make, it is as certain as
death and taxes that, unless we
raise plenty of corn, meat and
hay, along with clovefs, peas
and beans to make our lands
rich, we are on the down-grade
that ends in failure.
We are sounding this warn
ing because now is the time to
plan next years work, and any
plans are faulty that do not in
clude living at home, soil-build-
ing, and rigid economy in all
expenditures. For this reason,
even if cotton goes to twenty
cents, it is nothing more than
good business sense to plant
big acreage in oats this fall, with
cover crop of oats, rye. clover
or vetch on every possible acre.

A town is just what its citizens
make it. The town may have
all the natural advantages pos
sible, but if its people have no
civic pride and no public spirit
the town will never amount to
much. This country affords
many instances of places of that
character that have been left
high and dry in the progress Of
events because their inhabitants
did not care red cent whether
the place lived or died. On the
other hand, if a town is peopled
by alert and progressive men and
women, intent upon its pros
perity, that place is bound to
grow, even if it has but few
natural advantages. All over
this land towns have sprung up
and become the centers of ac-
tivity and success, for the sim
pie reason that wideawake people
with good red blood in their
veins pushed things and won
out.

being that southbound tram

Americas Only Medieval Castle
 Landmark In St. Augustine.
 For more than POO years St. Angus tine was the Spanish capital of Flor ida. and the Florida of those days ex- tended from the Chesapeake bay to the Pacific ocean. It was an impregnable stronghold all of those years.
 Old Fort Marion. begun in 1892 and finished in 1756. is the only medieval castle in America. It cost an enormous sum of money. Repeated heavy drafts of the builders caused the king of Spain to inquire if they were building Fort Marion of gold dollars. The castle stands today ill perfect condition. guarded by the United States govern ment. The keeper conducts visitors through the castle. down into the dun geons and shows you rings in the walls where victims of Spanish oppression were chained to die. Report. fairly well authenticated. has it that when the castle fell into the hands of the British two skeletons were found in one of these dungeons chained to the wall One was of a man. the other a woman There is something uncanny about these dungeons that cannot be describ- ed by word of mouth.
 While there has been great improve ment in old St. Augustine, the ancient landmarks have been preserved. The old city gate is intact; the Spanish monuments hundreds of years old at tract the lover of antiquities Narrow streets characterized all Spanish towns of medieval times. There are streets in St. Augustine not more than ten or a dozen feet wide. each side lined with the same type of buildings that were the custom three or four centuries ago

The bill stated that a com mittee of five trustees was chosen by the academy corporation in October, 1919, for the purpose of devising some plan of raising funds for the education l of indigent and pious young men for the ministry. In the following year a fund, which now amounts to $1O,OO was raised for this purpose The fund during the past 90 years has assisted large number of young men who have ultimately entered the ministry. But for many years before the bill was brought it was impossible to find sufficient number of eligible candidates among the such young men to enter the school. The givers of the fund were Rufus Flynt, Joel Norcruss, Amos Norcross, Alfred Ely, Luther Garter, Augustus Merrick, Royal Merrick, Absalom Shaw.

"They're gathering homeward, one

 As the friends, who had gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who had come close to the lives of most of them, looked for the last time on the face of their friend, the evidences of grief were most affecting.
 Relatives, friends, business associ- : ates from over the state and other states were there and the church was
 filled beyond it's seating capacity. At
 the cemetery the burial service was conducted by Pastor E. w. Darrow.
 There were gathered many from Will lington Center and nearby who had
 not been able to get to the church, but could walk to the cemetery. The life is closed here, but we may hope that the principles for which he stood
 may not cease.
 Burial was in Willington cemetery, temporarily. A mausoleum is soon

Drinking Water.

It is surprising how many people drink little or no water. There is no greater purifying agent than plenty of water internally. An abundance of it not only f1ushes the entire system. but improves the action of the skin: hence the complexion.

 Pastor E. W. Darrow said that it was not his purpose to add to what had been said, but was impelled to speak of his relationship with MT. Hall during present pastorate of more than six years. During all this time he had found him to be uniformly courteous, kindly and helpful, man who, in spite of unusual temptations had lived remarkably clean, whole some and moral life, one who even in the midst of business cares, had al- ways time to listen to other peoples s cares, troubles and perplexities and to extend not only his ready sym pathy, but his substantial aid.
 His own personal relations with MT. Hall had been such as to make him feel an especial personal loss. Although MT. Hall had not openly professed Christianity, yet he was man of deep religious convictions, heartily in sympathy with the aims and purposes of the church, upholding the cause by both his moral and tangible support.
 MT. Darrow had been much inn pressed by hls constant interest in the affairs of his people as shown by his inquiries after those in sickness and in trouble. MT. Priest, organist at Christ church in Hartford, was present in that capacity.
