The Death of c. A. MeFaddin

Clemson College, Nov. 30.-The
death of Mr.. C. A. McFaddin, until
recently District Agent of the Ex-
tention Service, is a source of sadness
to all who knew him. From being
one of the very best farmers in
Clarendon County Mr.. McFaddin join
ed the Extcntion forces ii the early
days of demonstration work. There
is no doubt that he sacrificed the
career of successful farmer, upon
which he was already launched, in
order to give his life to the work Of
making other farmers more success
full. He was soon appointed to 'he
position of District Agent in the s L
thern and Eastern part of the Stat"
and held this position until recently
when he resigned On account Of
failing health. His efficient service
in connection with Extention work is
we'll known and especially SO in the
Southern and Pee Dee sections of the
State. Mr.. McFaddin's kindness an!
consideration for others gained and
held for him the love of all with
whom he worke4 while his knowledge
of South Carolina agriculture made
him a prominent figura IN TIE agri-
culture of the State. He was prom
inent also in church affairs and was
in every sense a Christian gentle
man. His was a life Of service and
in his death the people of .he State
suffer a distinct loss. He h; d many
friends in Williamsburg County.

FLOWERS IN GETHSEMANE
Garden of the Betrayal Today d
Riot of Color and Bird Songs.

(William d. McCracken in Asia)
AS all the world knows, the Garden
Of Gethsemane lies at the foot of the
Mount of Olives. From the drago-
man of the American consulate our
party carried a note to the custodian
of the garden and we found Fra
Julio, the kindly little Franciscan, all
smiles to welcome US.
The frowers gave keynote of JOY
to our visit. Jerusalem after the war
is bare of flowers, but outside the
walls the Garden of Gethsemane has
bloomed throughout the conflict.
Flowers need but little attention ex-
cept water, and Fra Julio, who speaks
Italian, assures us that the British
brought good fortune indeed to Je-
rusalem, for they brought water with
them. Before they came, he tells us,
there was much suffering for lack
of it.
The visitor must bow his head as
he enters the low gateway-an act of
humility that may well seem to him
to be symbolic! But loving remem-
brances of Him who was so desper-
ately tried in this garden does not
preclude delight in the flowers and
in the twiteering birds intent on pick
ing up seeds that Fra Julio scatters.
He laughs with great delight about
the birds, and We all laugh togcth. +
in the Garden of Gethsemanc.
Our guide points out the eight
great olive trees that have survived
the centuries. They are indeed mass
i've, gnarled specimens, and they or
their progenitors may well have been
contemporaries of Jesus. The special
tree of the agony is vastly interest
ing as the king of the collection, but
we prefer to go back to tie flowers.
They are joyous symbols, unrcml-
niscent of the terrible hour of be-
trayal.
Fra Julio takes US with pride to a
bed of immortelles, not of the usual
ray, but of an intense violet color
verging on red. He picks q hand
full, discoursing lovingly on their vir-
tues. He says they can be sent to
America and after that long journey
will keep their color for a year two
years-many years, remaining ever
the same, for they are everlasting.
Their sweetness draws the sting from
the memory of the great betrayal.

DOESN'T WANT
FATHERS MONEY
YOUNG MAN REFUSES TO AC-
CEPT MILLION DOLLAR
LEGACY

Charles Garland, of Buzzard Bay,
Mass, the young man who recently
renounced his right to a million dollar
legacy left him by his father, James
A. Garland, a wealthy clubman and
yachtman of Boston, has made q
formal statement of his reasons for
rejecting the money. His statement,
he said, was due to the fact that TIN
many reports Of his failure to accept
the legacy have failed properly 10
present his position.
81 refuse to accept the money be-
cause it is not mine," was young
Garland's summary of his action. "A
system which starves thousands while
hundreds are stuffed condemns It
self. A system which leaves a sick
woman helpless and offers its services
to healthy man condemns itself-N
is such a system that offers me a MD
lion dollars" he continued.
ITS blind to the simplest trtItA
known to every child, the truth that
the hungry should be fed and the
naked clothed. I had to choose
between the loss of private property
and the law that is written in every
human heart. I choose the one which
I believe to be true"
Garland, who has stated that be
renounces his claim to the million
dollars because he thought Cchri&
would have done the same, c,ntinued:
~ believe I could do no good with
the money. It is the man that gives
food to the hungry who does good,
not the dollar given in exchange for
the food. I would be happy to be
the man if l had the food to give,
but I can not lend myself to handling
the money that is not mine even
though the good that might be done
is possibly great"

Struck by Saw Teeth

Last Saturday David c. Scott, Jr.,
was painfully hurt about the head
while operating a sawmill on his
fathers place near town. The injuries
received by Mr.. Scott were caused by
several teeth flying out of the large
circular saw and striking him on the
head. Fortunately for the young man
the flying saw teeth struck and
passed through a board before c"m-
ing in contact with his face. ne
wounds received mdical attention and
the young man kept on about his
business.
