MISS VIOLA DAVIS

Miss Viola Davis, the 1S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Davis
died at the home of her parents on the
18th of April.
For several years preceding her
death she was a great sufferer, but
never lost the grace of patience.
The phrase, "a beautiful child, a
loving daughter and noble sister,"
well describes her life during child
hood.
On April 14th, 1921, in the pres
ence of a large number of friends and
loved ones, Viola was laid to rest in the
Bethel cemetery, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. Myers. She
is survived by father and mother,
three brothers and six sisters.
With aching hearts these left be-
hind, bow submissively to His Divine
will, and though their grief is intense
yet they sorrow not as those who have
no hope.
May Gods richest blessings rest
upon the home and when "ti,ne shall
be no more" may the family circle be
unbroken about the throne of God.

CARD FROM w. F. STEVENSON

The following card was recently re-
ceived from the Hon. w. F. Steven
son with the request that it be pub
lished:
"The Associated Press sent out a
report that Mr.. Stevenson was one of
the leaders in opposition to the Bill
to Restrict immigration. This is a
mistake as he is one of its warmest
supporters. On general debate he
made speech assailing the Attorney
General for allowing Debs to come
unattended from the Atlanta Peni.
tentiary to Washington to confe,
about pardon, contrary to all law
and precedent. The reporter of the
Associated Press evidently mistcok
this to mean that he was against the
immigration BilE Mr.. Stevenson's
remarks in this instance were con
fined to the Debs incident, and no at,
tempt was made to state his position
o n the immigration Bill, as he has al,
ways been in favor of the bill, both in
the last Congress and the present
one."

AN EXPLANATION

Little did think when l appealed
for help through the columns of The
Advertiser for ga Needy Widow"
that was going to stir up snakes and
when l saw the reply to my article
contradicting all that said concern
ing the widow in question, felt it my
duty to explain the case as l see it.
The widow I had reference to is
Mrs. /. w. Thompson, who had charge
larst year of the County Home, and
as many of the people of Chesterfield
know l visited the County Home and
only what felt to be my duty. It was
here that first knew Mrs. THOMPSON
and in October of last year receiv-
ed three of her children into the
Church and baptized two others and
there was then in the home an infant
only one month old and seeing that
the mother and children were in need
OF some of the necessary things of
life, helped her from time to time as
best l could and got the oldest girl
into the Epworth Orphange, where
she now is.
Just before Christmas of last year
! advised Mrs. Thompson that had
succeeded in getting place in the
orphanage for the girl and told her
she could send her at once, few days
later Mrs. Thompson, with her broth
er, come to me and wanted me to
iafe the girl over to Columbia. l
could not leave my work at the time,
and asked her brother to take her
which he would not agree to do then.
Then ] asked Mr.. A~G. Grant to take
her which he did and Mt. Olivet
Church paid the expenses of the trip.
This is the last l knew of Mrs.
Thompson until / received q letter
from her in February, asking me to
help her which could not do at that
time and on the 18th of April, 1921,
l received the following letter, which
| ask you to print without correction.
as follows:
Cheraw S II 1921
Mr. c. p. Chewing Dear Sir,
81 rite you fue lines to let you
hear from me. Dear sirI would like
very much for you to assist me and
help me at any time rite to let now
about my condition l am living here
| BY myself and / have Got all the chill
dren with me al But the little girl and
| would Be Glad for any thing from
you at this time and l would Be Glad
for you to come to see me and see
where am living yours truly
Mrs l. w. Thompson"
Now this is true copy of the let
ter and l leave it to the good people
who so kindly gave me provisions for
Mrs. Thompson to say whether or not
was right in asking help for her af-
ter getting this letter and without
consulting her brothers and sisters,
who were not interested enough to
take the little girl to the orphanage
after had secured place for her.
On last Monday when I took gro
ceries to her she told me that she was
in great need and appreciated all that
the people had sent her.
After reading the article in last
