Died at Silverstreet.

Mrs. Marguerite M. Millard, wife
of the deceased, Mr.. Joseph Millard,
who resided in Rutherford county,
N. c., died at her sons home IN
Silverstreet early Thursday evening,
October %. She was born March II,
1847, in Lincoln county, N. G.
Throughout the most of her life, Mrs.
Millard was blessed with good health.
About two years ago she suffered
stroke of paralysis from which she
never fully recovered. But being
very industrious, she continued about
her domestic duties until short
while before her death, when by
falling she evidently received an In
iury. This, we think, with her ripe
old age, hastened her death.
In youth, Mrs. Millard became
member of the Baptist church. Later
she ioined the Methodist church and
remained a member until death. The
burial service was held in the Silver
street Lutheran church and the body
buried in the cemetery Friday after
noon before large number OF
friends and several relatives.
Mrs. Millard was survived by her
only child, Mr.. ]. A. Tallant, now in
the lumber business at Silverstreet,
six grandchildren, one brother, MIR.
B. O. Cardell of Rutherford county,
N. c., and one sister, Mrs. Thomas
Chapman of Lincoln county, N. c.
In the grave beneath the sod,
There lies, we trust, child OF God,
And could she speak, we believe she'd

Come, to, meet me that glorious day.

little competition as stock feed. 1t

Therefore, based on these facts, l
beg farmers to tenaciously hold on

WEST END BARACA
CLASS IS PRosPERING

The Baraca Class Of West End
Baptist church is prospering along all
lines. First, the hustling committee
led by Mr.. Albert Murphy is doing
great work in keeping the class up
to one hundred per cent. He is al
ways on the job, and takes advantage
Of every opportunity to build up the
class. Then the president, Brother
Earl Nc Crary, is a wide awake ener-
getic leader in the Kingdom business.
always with smile he meets the
class, making all present feel well
come and in few words well chosen
he turns the class over to the teacher,
Mr.. S. T. Matthews, and he with his
strong and soul stirring lectures
holds the class together as few men
can. It is a treat to sit and listen
for thirty minutes to this man of God
explain these wonderful lessons every
Sunday morning. Many of the
young men will rise up in the judg-
ment and call him blessed. Many
of the young men fail to take advant-
age of this opportunity, and loaf the
streets, and waste their time in fool
ishness and in sin, not knowing that
he is committing a crime against HIM
self, the young man, the old man
that fails to take the advantage this
class affords, is blind indeed.
Where can the young man find a
better place to spend thirty minutes
of his time than in this Baraca class?
Where will be get better instructions!
Where will he find better society?
Nowhere on earth. The class holds
out it's hands, and it's heart to every
boy, to every young man, to every
old man, and says come and we will
help you to win life's battle, and to
make this world better by having
lived in it.
This class invites every one to be
partaker of it's bounties, in soul up
lift, in spiritual help, and in brotherly
love. This is an invitation from the
class to every man in Newberry.

Ha. the War Done This?

An Englishman points out that sew
eral years ago it was noticeable that
in the London tube trains men going
to work read newspapers, while the
girls devoted themselves to novels
and fiction magazines. Since the war
the roles have been reversed. Al
most without exception the women
read newspapers on their way to and
from work and the men, when they
read, which is seldom, are more IN
rl;ned to novels.

COUNTY TEACHERS MEETING.
Held on Ss urday-Good Attendance
Officers Reelected-To Meet
Once a Month.

There were 6O teachers present dI
the teachers meeting Saturday. Of-
fcers who served last year were re-
elected: Presidnt, J. B. Harman;
vice-president, ]. C. Brooks; secre-
tary, Miss Gertrude Reeder. Program
committee, Miss Sadie Goggans,
Prof. Cannon and Prof. Sale. Miss
es Olive Feagle, Gertrude Reeder and
Vanie Lake were elected delegates
to the State associatic.l \ in Columbia
November 27-29.
Miss Sadie Goggans gave the
teachers full discussion on the
proper lighting, heating and ventlla-
ton of the school room. The light
should come in from the back or left
of the pupil and window space should
be one-fifth the floor space. A WIN
dow should never be directly in front
of the pupil and it is very bad for the
pupil to be placed in room with
lights on both sides. The color OF
the walls and ceiling should be such
that will reflect the most light. Light
green or buff is good for the ceiling
and cream color is very good for the
walls.
Every school room should have
thermometer. The temperature
should be around 6s degrees. The
stove should be jacketed so that the
heat will rise and be evenly distrl-
buted in the room. A stove in the
center Of the room takes up too much
space and separates teacher from
pupils. Then some pupils are too
warm and others too cool when the
stove is in the center. A better place
is in one corner at the back Of the
room. The ventilation should be
suited to the temperature OF the
room. Pupils should not be allowed
to sit in an open draft
Mr.. Wessinger, school attendance
officer, stated that teachers should
send in all excuses for absences
weekly. The law provides that provl-
dental hindrances will excuse the
child. Excuses for work are not
legal. The teacher has nothing to 90
with excusing absences, as all ao-
sonces mnst he passed upon by the
attendance officer.

FORMER STUDENTS PRESENT
PROF. WEIGH WITH $4,000

In appreciation OIL Ine great lIiuu
ence which the teahcing of Prof. G
W. Welch has had upon the lives Of
more than 40 of his former students
a check for $4,000 was presented tc
him Wednesday evening at compli'
mentary dinner rendered him by his
former students at the Rice hotel.
Professor Welch, who for years has
conducted a private school in Hous'
ton, has had for his pupils many OF
the. wealthiest and most prominent
men of the city and State, according
to Captain James Baker, jr.
Recently failing health has inter
fered greatly with his duties at the
school. Hearing Of this a number OF
his former students subscribed to the
fund donated Thursday evening SO
that Professor Welch may take an ex-
tended vacation.
ssMr. Welch's work has been too
valuable to discontinue" Mr.. Baker
said, "and, it is the hope of his for.
mer. students that he may return to
the city in good health and keep up
his wonderful work. He has given
his entire life to education and we
feel that nice vacation trip is but
very small way in which we can show
him our appreciation"
The above from the Houston
Texas, Post of October 1, will be
read with interest and pleasure by
The many friends Of Prof. G. W.
Welch in this county.
For several years the health OF
Prof. Welch has been such that he has
not been able to attend to his work
in the school room. For many years
Prof. Weleh has conducted very sue
cessfuily. private school for boys
fitting them for college, and this re,
cognition by his former students is
a deserved testimonial to the good
work which he has been doing, and
we have no doubt will act as the best
tonic that ne could possibly have, not
SO much for the money value, but
rather For the fact that he will be
able to realize that his work is appre'
ciated by those who were the bene'
ficiaries Of it.
We understand that his health has
been somewhat improved lately ano
that he. VIII go to a health resort ano
take absolute rest during the winter
Prof. Welch and Prof. Geo. D
Haltiwanger were two of the bes'
teachers THAT Newberry college eve1
sent ont. They knew what they
undertook to teach and had the
happy faculty Of being able to tel
it to their pupils in such language
that any one could understand. Two
very important qualifications of the
successful teacher, first to know what
he undertakes to teach and then bf
able to tell it so that the pupil ma!
understand
The many friends and relatives o:
Prof. WEIGH in Newberry hope tha
he may soon be restored to his goot
health and be- able to resume tn
good work that he has been doing
for SO many years and to which nj
has devoted his life.

 My greatest suffering was in my right side was so sore and felt if stepped down or jared myself the least hit I could not stand it--so just walked mostly tiptoe This kept up until was just about discouraged and decided had best try something else.
 Someone told me of Cardui. and where it had benefited cases similar to mine. felt at least it would not hurt to give it . trial.

ence associated with MT. Gould as a
 picture buyer of which this man had
 personal knowledge.
 An operator upon the stock exchange who was also a collector of pictures became indebted to Jay Gould to the
 extent of $50,0o0. Finding it inconven- tent to pay the debt on the spot he gave to MT. Gould bill of sale of his pictures as security. After about a year had passed and the debt had not been liquidated, MT. Gould asked a personal friend to look tho collection of paint ing. for which he had a bill of sale. over and make choice of enough pie lures fairly well to represent $50.oOo. One of the pictures was a Corot and the collector who owed MT. Gould money agreed to let that go for $16, 900 dollars. It was included in the list of paintings MT Gould took over in order to liquidate the debt. The picture was taken to MT. Gould's home and in his ! leisure moments he was accustomed carefully to study it. always with ad- miration
 After MT GouIds death it was de- c1ded that his heirs should make se- lection from his collection, and hav- ing done that, when the value of the pictures was to be taken from their share of the estate, Edwin Gould, who was great admirer of this Corot. made choice of it and it was appraised at $75,000, of $25,00O more than the debt which it in part served to liqui- date, and $60.000 more than MT. Gould paid for it in this way.
 Collections of pictures have served several times when financial embar- rassment was upon the owners to re- lieve them from that embarrassment. George I. Seney turned over his col lection of pictures to those who were endeavoring to liquidate the affairs of the Metropolitan bank. of which Mir. Seney was president up to the time of the embarrassment of the bank. The late Frederick D. Tappan, who acted for the Clearing House association, so ! handled those pictures wisely and with watchful eye upon the picture market | that he was at last able to turn fin about $1,000,00o which served gretly | to perfect the liquidation of the bank Another collection of paintings which
 had been secured by Mir. Johnston, whe
 at one time was very active in the af.
 fairs of the Hersey Central Railroad
 company, and who met with severe financial embarrassment, was turned
 over. to committee for the purpose 0,

A Little Discussion Concerning the Old Adage' Man Works From Rise to Set of Sun, But
 Woman's Work Is Never Done' Which May
 May Not Be Interesting But It's True

A woman feels like sewing" or she doesn't: she feels like cleaning g house." but all the neighbors in the world with their lace curtains whiten- ing ono perfectly good stretchers can't make her clean house." unless the mo-
 ton strikes her.
 There is not everlasting must has tening her on, except the must of keeping the household going, and so she drops her work at a moments notice to go out for game of auc- tion.' spending a whole afternoon, and the next morning she redoubies her en- ergies and works herself nearly to death doing double duty.
 There are constantly recurring con- gestions of work because woman all lows herself constant interruptions of work.
 Rarely in her work about the house does a woman drive ahead as a man does in his business, but she makes up for her 1eisurely way of interspers- ing business with pleasure by working overtime; hence her work is never done; not because of it's overwhelming character, but because woman, unless she Is in active business competition with man, works intermittently and more or less as the spirit moves her. Even the business woman sometimes is guilty of this sort of thing, from sheer womanly propensity to get keen ly interested in what she is doing, and she forgets to separate herself from her task until some dominant man suggests that the day, if not the days work, is over. and she might as well conclude her job on the morrow.

ssMl4.' :.:: work. fro" rise to t, set ...'' of done"
 How many times have you ever heard that old adage?
 Like most things that endure, we all know that it is very true; and why is it true?
 Has woman so mismanaged her af- fairs?
 It is natural to incline toward the thought that as general thing she has managed badly in that, for unlike man. she has never set for herself g definite hour for Knocking off work. '
 I am speaking now more especially of the woman in the home. In most trades and professions men have a uni- form time to quit work" If by tha. time the affairs of the day are com pleted they stop; if not they remain unfinished-held over for the next day.
 One reason perhaps of this is that men tackle their tasks internationally, but with steadfastness of purpose that is unQuestioned.
 What they do is all in the days work; it is to be done; it is to be done as quickly as it can Conveniently be accomplished, in the hours set asida for business tasks
 Most women go about their work in very different spirit:

To counteract conflicting rumors re-
 garding the various reasons for the can cellation of so many sailing orders for
 Red Cross workers in over seas service since the signing of the armistice na-
 tional headquarters at Washington tele-
 graphed the following explanation to
 the publicity department of the Gulf
 division:
 Immediately after the armistice
 terms were signed, commissions Of
 the American Red Cross in Europe cabled
 that all plans for the sending of addition
 al personnel to Europe should be can
 oelled with the exception of specific
 cases. Several hundred who had al-
 ready obtained their passports and had
 neen authorized to proceed to Europe but before they could sail, further cable
 orders came from the American Red
 Cross commissioners in Europe to can
 eel all plans for additional personnel.
 "The sending of additional personnel
 was made unnecessary by the fact that
 after the signing of the armistice, so
 many people in Europe whose activities
 had previously been entirely associated
 with the prosecution of hostilfties, were
 released for other services.
 ''This situation has resulted in con-, siderable number of persons reaching ports of embarkation after having made all their plans for European service. Many who had planned to go had saio goodby to their friends and naturally were embarrassed when their sailings were cancelled. Officers of American Red Cross have been greatly distressed at the necessity for disappointing so many who with fine spirit and loyalty made plans and sacrifices to go to Eu- rope in the Red Cross service
 "It is felt, however, that full under- standing of circumstances will maHe everyone appreciate the upwisdom or sending anyone abroad whose services are not exceeded. This is especially true now because of the extreme dlI ficulty of arranging for return pas- sage of those who go from now on. To send additional personnel unger such conditions would be fair neltner to them nor to the American Red Cross. However, the organization mas arranged to send an acknowledgement to each person of their service ana a statement as to why it could not pc ayailed of It is hoped that this pup uc statement will make clear why the change lad to be made.
