BATHING SUITS ARE
 PREFERABLE TO SUCKERS

Hats off to Mrs. Lee of Anchorage. She has solved the garment problem for Alaska. It's bathing suits! Ju- neauites have long been puzzled what should be the conventional garment for men and women of Gastineau channel Diving suits are expensive --therefofe why not compromise on bathing suits. Fine.
 Mrs. Lee has an advertisement in
The Cordova daily times., 1919-08-14

the Anchorage paper which reads
 FOR RENT-Bathing suits. Mrs Lee, Terminal hotel"
 Evidently the good people of An chorage wear summer garments. No one would suspicion that any one would want to bathe in the dirty waters of Cook inlet. Therefore we presume that it's conventional dress for an afternoon stroll, probably cut long at sleeves and ankle, rather on the lines of union suits, as no one would suspicion the average Alaskan of adopting a conventional garment

REV. B. E. GRANDY DEAD
Well Known Minister and COntrac-
tor Passes Away at JamisOn

Pickens, Oct. H. The Rev. B. E.
Grandy died at his home in Jamison
last Sunday evening at 9:20 o'clock.
The news of his death brought sad
ness to his numerous friends in this
section, where he had lived for twen-
ty years. Death was unexpected, be-
ing caused by a congestive chill, fol-
lowing a week of indisposition from
malaria.
Mr.. Grandy was born at Williston
and was 64 years of age. He moved
to Jamison in 1917, but still owned
his home here, and was preparing to
return at the time of his death. He
was buried in the family plot at the
city cemetery at Pickens Wednesday
afternoon. The funeral services were
held in the Baptist curch, Of which
he was member, conducted by the
pastor, DR.. David M. Ramsay, as.
sisted by the Rev. S. T. Matthews
pastor of the Central Baptist church
of Greenville.
Mr.. Grandy is survived by his wife
two sons, Capt Lloyd H. Grandy anc
Leroy B. Grandy, and one daughter
Miss Nellie Grandy; two brothers
Luther S. Grandy, in South America
and ]. F. Grandy, of Williston; two
sisters, Mrs. Latitia Johnson, ant
Mrs. Della Wolley of Meta, Ca, ant
one grandson, Charles Curtis, Of
Jamison.
AS large and successful contrac
tor, Mr.. Grandy was we'll and favor
ably known throughout South Caro-
lima. He, with his two sons, probably
erected more school buildings thar
any one else in this state. South Car
olina is dotted with schools churches
banks and municipal buildings, the
work of his hands. And though he
worked all the week, he often founc
time on the Sabbath to fill the pulpit
of some nearby church. He was al
ways in demand, as his sermons were
strong and direct, accomplishing
much good wherever he went. Hi:
acquaintances were his friends, for hi
was ever cheerful, having a smile ane
pleasant word for every one hi
met. He always saw the silver lini
to every cloud and his happy, sum!
disposition was an inspiration to al
who knew him.

County Fair.
By r. NJ. Cathcart

The Williamsburg County Fair IS
lust a little over week off, and to
have a fair that is credit to the
county it will be necessary for every
farmer to bring something that ne
has grown on his farm to exhibit.
Don't think that the other fellow has
something better than you have, but
bring what you have along and make
the other fellow work if he wins the
prize.
When asked what they are gong
to bring to the fair most farmers
will say 81 haven't anything good
enough to carry" Suppose every
farmer took this same attitude
what kind of a fair would we have.
None at all Bring something no mat
ter what it be. You may think that
YOU haven't anything to bring, but
here are a few of the many things
to be found on the farm and that
should be shown at the fair. Ten ears

Elimination of typesetting, one Of
the costliest operations of magazine
production, by the use of plates
made by photographing the original
typewriter copy has been accom-
plished in the October Is issue of the
Literary Digest, consisting of. eighty

was brought about by the printers

DEATH, CLAIMS W.
WALDORF ASTOR
SON OF JOHN JACOB ASTOR
DIES OF HEART DISEASE IN
HIS LONDON HOME

Viscount Astor of Rever Castle
London, died of heart disease last
Saturday morning. He had been in
failing health for year.
Through Viscount Astor's wish his
body was cremated and it is under
stood the ashes will be placed in the
private chapel of his one-time coun-
try home, Cliveden at Taplowbucks,
now occupied by Waldorf Astor.,.
Viscount Astor (William Waldorf
Astor) was born in New York in
1848 the son of John Jacob Astor, the
founder of the Astor millions. He be-
came an expatriate in the nineties,
renouncing his American citizenship
and becoming a British subject. He
was made baron in 1916 and was
created first Viscount Astor of Rev.
er in 1917.
Viscount Astor has been reckoned
as one of the richest men in England.
At the time of his death he still re-
tained large realty and other fnan-
cial holdings in the United States,
particularly in New York City.
Mr.. Astor's death was entirely un-
expected, it was stated, at Major
Astor's home, although he had been
in declining health for months. He
walked about outdoors on Friday as
usual. Death came while Mr.. Astor
was in bed Saturday morning, but
whether during his sleep or whether
the household had warning, those in
charge of Major Astor's house posi-
lively declined to say.
Few men of great wealth in Eng
land have been so little known to the
public as VIM. Waldorf Astor. 1t
was said that he left America to es-
cape the limelight which newspapers
throw upon multi-millionaires. If
this was true, he was successful.
During the first years of his resi-
dence there he established a position
in the exclusive social set and enter
tanned that circle in accordance with
the most conservative British tradi-
tions. But he never attempted to be-
come a leader in sport or politics,
two fields in which rich Englishmen
endeavor to attain publicity and pop
ularity.
After being raised to the peerage
Viscount Astor never took any ap-
parent interest in the political phase
of his position, which was not un-
usual, as only small fraction of
those entitled to take part in the
proceedings of the House of Lords
ever avail themselves of that prerog-
ative. 1t is not recalled that he ever
spoke in the house of lords or appear
ed there as a legislator.
Viscount Astor's associates in
England had been almost entirely
British. He seldom appeared in the
Anglo American social set, which
during King Edwards reign was the
most conspicuous, if not the most i'm
portant set, owing to the Kings par
tiality to it.
The British exchequer will gain an
important item through the Astor
estate death duties. Such duties on
estates of British subjects of over
100000 pounds are 20 per cent.
wherever the property is situated.
There was newspaper report re-
Gently that Viscount Astor was divid-
ing his American real estate among
his children, but, according to the
British law, such gifts must be made
three years before death in order to
escape estate duties.
