Mrs. Lula N. McCants, wife of Mr..
w. F. McCants of this place died at
the Kelley Sanatorium Thursday
night, February 18th about II o'clock.
She had been in feeble health for
some months, but her family did not
think her condition serious until a
few days before she died, when it be-
came necessary to take her to the
Sanatorium for an operation of a Sc
rious nature, but the only possible
means of saving her life. She was AZ
years of age and had always enjoyed
good health until recently.
Mrs. McCants was a daughter OF
Mr.. Geo. B. Nexsen, and was twice
married. Her first husband was Mr.
James A. Gamble, of this union two

four children survive: Mrs. w. r
Miles, of Charleston, Mrs. ]. Earle
Cook, Miss Madeline McCants and q
two and a half year old baby girl, OF
this place. For Mr.. McCants and his
family, deepest sympathy is felt in
the community.

Disabled Soldiers Pay
(Washington Post.)


The House Committee on Educa-
ton has agreed to report a bill
granting 500 a month to disabled
former soldiers now engaged in vo-
cational training instead of $50 a
month. It is a just and beneficial
proposal, which Congress should not
delay in approving. The pluck Of the
disabled men is worthy of this recog'
milton, and the country will be the
gamer by the encouragement which
is given to these boys to pursue thei,
studies to the point of self-support.
The reports from hospitals ano
vocational schools is universal on one
point-namely, that the disabled
soldiers are always cheerful ane
hopeful, in spite of the handicap i'm
posed upon them by the injuries re-
ceived in service. Every one Of these
wounds is a badge of honor, a draft
upon the gratitude of the Union which
must be honored.

Disease Free Potato Seed

Every farmer should be looking out
for his sweet potato seed for bedding.
These potatoes should be free from
disease. If diseased potatoes are plant
ed the disease is transmitted from the
bed to the field on the slips. Black
rot is an underground disease and
doesn't show up on the vines. 1t shows
up on the potatoes, and at this time
of year appears as black sunken places
on the potatoes. Never bed potatoes
that are diseased in any way, for
there's no known means Of curing
diseased potatoes. Disease free
potatoes are easy to keep, SO purchase
enough disease free potatoes to Sc
cure slips for one fifth of the area
you are going to plant, and from this
one fifth secure vine cuttings to plant
the other four fifths. There are sever
al reasons for using vine cuttings as
much as possible. First, you get from
vine cuttings potatoes that are free
from black rot. Second vine cuttings
produce potatoes of more even size.
There is only one farmer in Will
liamsburg County that has disease
free potatoes for sale. This farmer is
MIR. ]. L. Thomas, Cades. His potatoes
were inspected last week by a special
ist from Clemson College and were
found to be in good shape.

is quoted as saying that the success
of his business is due primarily to his
belief that the farmer is the fairest

fully by those who study his needs
and give him always the best. The
great growth of the Royster business
is due to the recognition on the part
of the farmer of the efforts Of a life

his appreciation of the fact that

"The Navy As An Educational
Institution"

mlSS hlnueT essay loilo"S.
Education is a vital word these
days. 1t is the most meaning word Of
today, pointing to the most necessary
results for the future. All men fee.
that they stand on the brink OF vast
new beginning. The former things are
passed away, and another era is
knocking imperiously at the doors.
The only hope that shines down the
avenues of the future, is the hope
that all men of all nations will be edu-
Gated, educated not only in the narrow
sense of the word, but also in the
broad and beautiful meaning. The
world needs men today of training
and of established ability and charac-
ter-men Of high class who have stood
the test of the world, men who would
not fail to measure up to the ideals
and demands of our nation. And, so,
the men we need to carry on the
work of the world are truly the edu-
Gated men.
And, if it is so important that men
be educated, educational institutions
are smiled upon by the well-meaning
people of the world. AS such an insti-
tuition the Navy of the United States
is very important In the Navy, a
young man, through the training he
receives, is improved in every way,
his mind is trained, his imagination
is quickened, his understanding is per-
fected, his attitude towards the world
and the people he deals with everyday
is changed. We know that employers
will jump at the chance of employing
anybody with an honorable discharge
from the United States Navy; hun
dreds of young men, after serving an
enlistment or two in the Navy, have
gone out and secured coveted posi-
tions for which their naval service had
fitted them. These actual facts show
that the Navy is really great edu-
cational institution.
A man who joins the NavNis train
i ed both in the Regular Navy Schools
which include regular schools, medical
schools, scientific schools, and special
schools, and in the school of expert
ence. Let us consider first the educa-
ton which. a sailor receives in the
/ Naval schools.
When a young man enlists in the
Navy, if he does not specify the school
that he wishes to enter, he is placed
by the proper Naval Authorities in
the school where he belongs. The
trade schools 81 the Navy develop
skill, industry and business ability
The hospital corps gives the sailor
chance to gain a knowledge of the
human body; he learns to properly
care for his own body and the bodies
of his companions. A young man in
this department studies first-aid
nursing, surgery, anatomy, sanitation
pharmacy and X-ray. + Hospital corps.

ORGANIZATION
CHANGES NAME
LAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION
NOW KNOWN AS S. C., DE-
VELOPMENT BOARD

Columbia, February 23.-That it
might more fully explain the idea for
which it was organized and is func-
tioning, the board Of control Of the
South Carolina Landowners Associa-
ton has changed the name of the or
ganization to the "South Carolina
Development Board, and the attor-
ney of the board, Charles II. Barron
of Columbia, will apply to Secretary,
of Stare William Banks Dove in the

lima Stock Farms; q. F. Barkerding,
chairman of the committee on mar
keting Of the Charleston city council,
and ]. G. Padgett, of Walterboro.
State Senator from Colleton county.
There were three purposes for the
changing of the name of the organi-
zation:
1. It was in response to requests
from governmental agencies and civic,
commercial and trades organization
who desire to clear general develop
mental purposes through the medium
Of the association.
2. That the name might give a
clearer idea Of the purpose for which
the organization was formed and is
functioning.
8. To clear away a misconception in
certain quarters that the organization
was for the purpose of protecting
real estate propositions and disposing
of "cut over" lands.
The board of directors Of the Col
umbia Chamber of Commerce, in re-
solutions passed by the body, has CIV
en- endorsement to the South Carolina
Development Board and its activities.
These resolutions read:
where, the board Of directors of
the Columbia Chamber of Commerce,
after hearing a full explanation Of
the broad general plan Of the South
ern Settlement and Development Or
ganization, of Baltimore, Md, for the
development of the entire South; and,
Whereas, a further and full ex-
PLANTATION of the South Carolina De-
velopment Board, successors to the
South Carolina Landowners Associa-
ton, was made by George R. Wheeler,
manager, and especially explaining
the formation and the great need Of
home cash markets to take care Of
the diversified farm products the edu-
cational forces of the State are teach
ing the people to raise; therefore,
"Be it resolved, that the board Of
directors of Columbia Chamber Of
Commerce, in regular meeting, Feb
ruary 13, 1920 fully endorse the work
in hand and 20 on record as advising
all trades, commercial, civic and edu-
cational bodies. OF its action; and,
"Be it further resolved, that we
recommend the South Carolina De-
velopment Board to progressive think
ing men and women of the State for
their support and we ask all papers
in the State of South Carolina to give
publicity to these resolutions"

way by which the leaders of the Prot

gram Of the entire world laid before
them. BY means of the Interchurch
World Movement we can see where
the Methodists are, and where the
Baptists are. We can see the general
outline Of their forces. their present
status in this great world struggle,
