ERWIN SHAW'S
DEATH SHOCK
TO FRIENDS

The disappearance of Lieut.. Erwin
Shaw on July 9th on airplanc duty on
the French front, was q great shock
to his many war mfriends in Claren-
don and Sumter counties. Erwin, who
is grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. D. w.
Alderman, was born In Alcolu, and
this fact alone endears him more than
ever to the people of Clarendon coun-
ty. The following eulogics on his life
were published in the Sumter Item:
Lieut.. Shaw-missing since July
the 9th. 1t was this report that add
ed to grief the dread or an awful sus-
pense. Below are giver two letters
that will give to the puolic the de-
tails of the information that have
been sought in vain since the first
brief tidngs came. Like Lieut..
Purdy's death Sumter shares the grief
of Lieut.. Shaw's fall and it is no idle
curiosity that makes Sumter seek def
mite information; but it is because
Sumter claims these two sons as her
own and participates in the sorrow
and in the glory Of their fall.

Is any one going without gasolene for

WASTING EFFORT AND OPPORTUNITY.

The Country Club hack was passing
patch of low ground when the bank
er said: Il see that another man Is
trying to raise a crop Of truck on that
patch. I've watched that little patch
of ground many years and have never
seen anything raised on it but one
year after another a new tenant tries
10 raise tomatoes cucum5ers or some
kind of truck and has it flooded long
enough to spoil his crop.
Now there's two or three acres of
that ground which one man and an
other has fought for q rop that had
no business there and have failed to
get any returns But mat isn't the
fault OF the ground. It's the fault Of
the man who thes to raise a crop ut
terly unadap.ad to the opportunity.
But some one with a COW could SOW
thai il mile or Sudan grass and raise
enough to keep two COWS or more all
winter on il. The flooding comes early
and the weeds that thrive while the
ground is unfit TO work take the crop.
But along in middle June and early
July that patch is dry as bone and
stays dry the rest of the season. Sudan
grass, is sort of a sorghum
and makes u nay of fine feeding quail
ity. Millet every body knows about, II
Is good COW hay and the Sudan is
about equal TO IL in value And it can
be sown as late as the middle OF July
and make a crop.
Nos; failures come about the same
way We refuse to drive the peg in
the hole It was made for.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Well, after awhile they came to the
ocean, so they got out and hoped alons
the sand. But, oh dear me. they
couldn't find any oysters. only a few
broken clam shells. "This will never
do" said Uncle Lucky. We'll never
find our fortune this way" and he sat
down on some seaweed and took out
his old silk polkadot handkerchief and
wiped his forehead. And just then the
big white albatross came by and when
he saw the two little rabbits sitting
on the sand he flew down and spoke to
them.
What are YOU doing out here all alone
BY the sad sea waves, little rabbits?
Have you fastened the latch on the old
brier patch,
To come here and learn seafarine
habits?"
"Not at ALL" answered dear Uncle
Lucky. I'm looking for pearls" And
this made the albatross laugh so hare
that he dropped feather out of his
wing.
Pearls grow in oysters. Mr. Rabbit
he said. You must first catch your
oysters" And then this white sea bird
sat down and told Uncle Lucky in order
to catch oysters you must have boa'
and big water rake and lots OF
things"
