tend to increase the acreage and to
effect a saving In labor. The use Of
larger plows. harrows and other instru-
mentk used In hitting the land would
make It possible to accomplish more

tion Of two-row planters and two-row

Information has been coming to the.

ter throwing coal from passing trains,

Officer Stewart apprehended Thomas
Wilson and Cooper Devaughn, both of
Orangeburg, but the other two made
their escape. The two that were cap

Maysyllle Oldest Fireman and Pioneer
Citizen Passes Away at His Home
Yesterday Afternoon at
Age Of 81.

Captain c. W. McClanahan, aged
"a years, well known to the people
Of this city as Kinney Mack, died
at his home on West Third street yes
terday afternoon at s o'clock OF the
diseases and infrmities incident to
old age.
Captain McClanahan was Mays
ville's oldest fireman. He was a char
ter member of the Washington Fire
Company and since its origination
here many years ago has always been
very active in the affairs OF the COM
pany. There was never a day too
cold or too bad for him to come out
to a fire and to work >aliantly, even
in his advanced years. During the
past few years, on account Of his old
age and failing health, he was Of ne
cessity forced, in measure, to dis
continue some of his activities in con-
nection with the fire con pany. but
even then he never failed to be Cc
hand at a fire and do all that he
could and was the last one to leave
the scene of a confagration.
He first became associated with the
Washington Fire Company as torch
bearer when boy and has been Sc
cretary of the company for the past
forty years. He was present at the
last annual meeting and when several
men younger than he failed to an
swer the roll call, he made remarks
that they were too old or that the
weather was too bad for them to ven
ture out, showing that he still con-
sidered himself young man.
Maysville's first fire fighting auto
mobile, the kinney Mack, was
named for him and will always be a
reminder to Maysvillians of this
grand old man.
He was a man Of many virtues and
few bad habits. He never used to-
bacco or intoxicating liquor of any
kind and was never known to be pro-
fame He was temperate in speech
and action and one who was friend
worth knowing and having Although
seemingly very reserved, he number
ed his friends by the score.
Besides being a great fire fighter
he was also much interested in river
affairs and made daily trips to the
river front to find out the condition of
the water and to take note of the
gauge. He was well informed on the
early activities of this section of the
country being born and reared in
this city and a man who took cogniz-
ance of the things worth while and
stored them away in his memory.
He is survived by two sisters and
four brothers-Mrs. Alice Winter and
Miss Ella McClanahan, and Messrs.
Adney, Ben P, Frank and Henry Nc
Clanahan, all Of this city.
The funeral will be held from his
Il late home tomorrow morning at II
o'clock with services by the Rev. John
Barbour, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church. Interment in the
Maysville cemetery. Friends are re-
quested to please omit flowers.
