DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.
Mrs. Mason Duncan Passed Away ut
Advanced Age of 10.

The announcement early last sun
day morning, January 9th, of the
death of Mrs. NJ. Duncan, at the home
OF her brother, J. o. Riley, near
Westminster. brought genuine sor-
row to her many friends. Mrs. Dun
can was taken i'll while visiting her
daughter, Mrs. NJ. G. Mccoy, Of West
Point, Ga, from which illness she
never recovered, though she was not
thought to be Serious until last week.
Mrs. Duncan was a daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Riley, and was
born at the old homestead at Ander-
son in 1889, being at the time Of her
death at the ripe age Of 70. In 1867
she. was happily married to Mason b.
Duncan, who preceded her to the
grave in 1916. She leaves six chill
dren, Mrs. r. N. Vaughn, of Cone
ross; Mrs. M. c. Mccoy, of West
Point, Ga; Mrs. J. w. Reeder, of
West Union; j. M. Duncan, of West
minister; Mrs. Doyle Dodd, of Erwin,
Tenn; Mrs. WI. Edmonds, of York.
One daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Brock,
preceded her to the grave. She
leaves one brother and sister, J. o.
Riley and Miss Amanda Riley, of
Westminster, and a number Of other
relatives to join with the bereaved
ones in their sadness.
The deceased was consistent
member Of the Presbyterian church,
her membership being at Bethel
church. The funeral services were
conducted ,by her pastor, Rev. w. H.
Hamilton, Of Walhalla, assisted by
Rev. j. G. Lewis, pastor Of the
Westminster Methodist church.
She was able to talk with all who
visited her during her illness, and
bore her suffering very patiently,
but told her children that she would
never get WE'LL and that her great
friend Jesus was near her. This Is
a great consolation to her relatives
and others.
The remains were placed in the
Old Westminster cemetery by the
side of her husband, whose last
words to her were that ne wished
they might go together to the "City
not made with hands,"

CASTOR BEAN TO FRONT AGAIN.
Government Needs Much Oil for Lu.
bricating Acroplane Machinery.

washington, Jan. l3.-An Smer-
gency has arisen. The government
will require large quantities Of castor
oil for lubricating the aeroplane en-
gines. The supply is short and South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida are GO
ing to be called upon to grow castor
beans for the government, and for
which the government will pay
prices which they believe will make
it more profitable crop than any
other staple grown in that section.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been spent in conducting exper-
imsnts for finding an oil for lubricat-
ing the Liberty motors, which will be
used in flying machines, other than
castor oil; but these experiments
have been in vain, and the only oil
that will Cow under the atmospheric
conditions and temperature condi-
tions met with by these machines is
castor oil.
Situation Different Now.
In this country years ago castor oil
was grown quite extensively and the
leading States were Kansas, Okla
homa and Missouri; but India, with
labor which could be hired at ten
and twenty cents day, furnished
this oil so cheaply that the industry
practically died out. The subma-
rine has taken its toll and greatly
reduced the worlds shipping facili-
ties, and now the industry must be
revived, and in those sections where
there will be no danger from frost
and In the sections where they have
long growing seasons. And South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida are
expected to meet the emergency. N
II. S. Evans, assistant development
agent Of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way Company, with Offices at + I'M
let, N. c., has been given contract
to secure the planting Of 10000
acres to castor beans, and farmers Of
South Carolina and Georgia are ex-
pected to grow anywhere from five
to one hundred acres or more for
him.
The government Is going to fur
niSh the seed at exact cost to the
government, plus the cost of trans
portation; but they are not to be
paid for until after the crop is
grown, and from the crop. Mr.. Evans
will be authorized to pay to any
farmer who will grow these beans So
per bushe! FOR his entire crop. deliv.
cred at the nearest railroad atation.
Easy to Grow y
Those who have grown castor
beans say it is one of the easiest
crops produced. There Is no insect
pest which Is known to attack it. An
imals and live stock will not eat it.
bushel consists Of 46 pounds and
the price paid will be better than
6A cents per pound, and in times
past they have been profltably grown
at cents pound.
Any farmer desiring to secure seed
and grow this crop under a contract
In South Carolina or Georgia will
be expected to address T. S. Evans,
at Hamlet, N. C.
1t Is not only patriotic duty to
grow these beans, but 1t is profitable
as we'll, and it Is helping to win the
war. Posters will be furnished to all
farmers growing this crop, which
they can post on their farms, show
Ing that they are doing their bit"
towards helping win, the war.

Little Ruth was born June 18th,
1917, aud though only six months
old, "as an unusually fine type of
babyhood healthy, of beautiful

by the fact that the young father
was absent, he being in hospital at
Camp Jackson. He was a member
or the last group OF drafted men
sent srom Oconee. His health was
never good, and he has been in the
hospital almost continually since ar
rival at camp. His wife and child
were being cared for by his parents;
and 1t was at their home, on Seneca

Sitton Mill Place, that the sad event
