Jane McKimmon Club.

The Jane McKimmon Com
munity Club held IFS regular
meeting Friday afternoon, in the
upper section, with Mrs. George
Farrand.
Mrs. Farrand gave a demon
stration in making cheese which
all enjoyed. This took almost
almost all the afternoon, but we
had some time left, so Mrs John
Sandy CoVington talked on
many different things. Mrs.
Farrand's father-in-law was very
low, so we had to get out in the
yard to talk, in the shade, where
we wouldn't disturb him. Mrs.
Covington is going to entertain a
house. party at Ellerbe Springs
this week, and we are going to
have our union picnic Wednesday.
The members of the house-party
are to be the club members of the
different clubs.
After all business was attended
to the club adjourned to meet in
two weeks with Mrs. Lonnie
Covington, at which time the di-
ferent members are requested to
bring some canned juice and
make jelly.
Since meeting with Mrs. Far
rand Friday afternoon, the death
angel entered the home and bore
away her father.in-law. Mrs.
Farrand is one of our active club
members, and she, and the other
bereaved ones, have the sympa-
thy of the entire Jane McKimmon
club in their sad hour of bereave-
ment.

Petrified Body Exumed
At Falmouth
{ Falmouth Outlook

+ dllIlOlttll OUTLOOK
Fifteen years ago, the body OF
Mrs Martin Elliot was buried in
Riverside cemetary. Tuesday
morning, the body was exumed
and found to be petrified. At the
bottom of the grave gushed a
vein of water the size of a mans
wrist. The grave was half full of
water in few minutes after the
body was removed.
O. {. Craddock and Ernest
,Grissom. Of this city. were re-
moving the body to another lot
in the cemetery. Martin Elliott.
the aged husband. who resides in
this city, was beside the grave
when the body was removed.
The men in charge of the work
dug down to depth of about
five feet, when the soft earth
caved in. They removed this
soft earth and several times the
shovel struck hard substance in
the grave. However, when the
greater portion of the loose earth
had been removed, the body, a
solid mass, suddenly pushed for
ward, as though there might be
air pressure beneath it.
The casket and the clothing on
the body were completely decay
ed, but the entire body, even the
hair on the head, was intact. The
features were plainly recogniz-
able. The chin had dropped
down before petrihcation was &C
complished and the teeth could be
seen plainly: They, too, had
turned to stone, the same as the
rest of the body.
The body, III places where de-
caying clothing had not diseolor-
ed it, was of the color of the
human body, though of a pinkish
hue
Straps were secured to the
body, and it was lifted from the
grave. 1t was many times the.
weight of the ordinary human
body.

stances is not an uncommon oc-
currence. Specimens of petrifed

Hard To Beat This

This paper recently told of a
hen owned by Mrs. Henry 7.
Gartin that began laying at the
age of FIVE months and asked if
anyone could show a better rec
ord. Mrs. Gartin's hen was one
of Matching that came off Feb
ruary 2 and it began laying July
Is. Several have reported records
almost as good. but the only one
better is that of 4 hen belonging
10 Mrs. Sam p. Cooper. Mrs.
Cooper's hen was an egg previous
to March 6. On that day it was
one of twenty little chicks taken
off the nest. She rapidly learned
natronly ways and July 20 just
four and half months after birth
she began laying and has since
kept it up daily. The hen is a

Root Too Clever To Be
Secretary OF State

When Warren Garnaliel Hard
ing, newly elected President OF
the United States, passed over
the obvious man for Secretary OF
State in Elihu Root and named
Charles Evans Hughes for the
job, he gave the people and the
politicians a distinct jolt. In a
book Of satirical and analytical
biographies, "The Mirrors OF
Waslnngton,' whose brilliant but
anonymous author displays an
amazing knowledge of inner po-
litical intrigue in higher places.
the real reason for President
Harding's action is given as Pres
idential distrust of Mr.. Root On
this point the writer says:
"Elihu Root might have been
SO much publicly and has been Sc
little that Il moral must hang
somewhere upon his public career
He might have been President
of the United States if his party
| ever could have been persuaded
to nominate him. He might have
been one of the great Chief JUS
tees of the Supreme Court OF
the United States if president
could have been persuaded to APP
point him. He might have beer
Secretary of State in the most
momentous period of American
foreign relations j certain
hOmely instinct in Mr. Harding
had not led him to prefer the less
brilliant Mr.. Hughes.
"Many reasons have been giver
why the President passed over
the obvious man for Secretary OF
State. Mr.. Root himself, who
would have taken the place glad
~ as an opportunity for his ex-
tremely keen intelligence. but
who did not seek it. thinks that
the Senate, flushed with its re
cent victory over President VIII
son and desiring itself TO domi-
nate foreign relations, cOnspired
to prevent his choice.
The real obstacle in Mr.
Roots appointment was Mr.
Harding's distrust of him, the
instructive feeling of a simple.
direct nature against mind too
quick, too clever, too adrOit in
many of its operations. Mr.
Harding being commonplace him.
self, likes more commonplace
kind of greatness than Mr.. Root
Those who were close to him and
the President feared that Mr..
Root would Tut something over
on him. A certain moral quality
in Mr.. Hughes outweighed Mr.
Roots special experience and
wide reputation.
