Origin of Flour Sacks.

York, S. c., April 25-People here
aboutS are observing the twenty
seventh anniversary Of the death OF
Thomas Smith Jeffreys today. JET
feryS, it is claimed, was the first
man in the United States to use cot
ton sacks for shipping flour. That
was back in 1852. In those days
South Carolina, no!t one of the lead
ing cotton producing states. was one
OF the leading meat states.
Wheat was one cf the chief articles
OF export instead OF import.
Flour was shipped in barrels in
stead of sacks. Nobody had thought
of using sack for the purpose.
There were hundreds of coopers in
the state then. The first railroad in
this section of South Carolina-the
old Kings Mountain Railroad was
built in 1852. Jcffreys, then 25 years
old, was in the what and -four eX-
port business.
4 big order for flour was receir-
ed by him. There was shortage OF
coopers at the particular time and
he was unable to o5tain barrels in
which to ship the flour over the lit
tie railroad.
He bought cotton Shaeting and gave
orders to his wife end ether ladies'
called in to assist, to make the sheet
ing into sacks.
The shipment Went out and the
idea of cotton sacks Tor shipping pur-
poses spread throughout the country.
Born here February 5, 1927, JET
freys life was one of great actlv-
ity.
He made thousands of dollars in
the wheat and -four export business.
The war between tln states COM
ing on he volunteered for service
with the Confederate army. He was
commissioned captain Of quartermas-
ter corps and was stationed at the
ouartermaster depot 81 the state
capitol in Columbia, throughout the
war.
After the war he ruturned 20 York.
In 1877 he organized the fret bank.
He remained interested in the bank
ing business until his death, April
25, 1894. He left large estate.
Jeffreys' father, James JeffreyS'
was the first man in South Carolina
to organize a Sunday school outside
the two largest cities of the state
Charleston and Columbia.

The New York Worlds Washing
ton correspondent says: Smith OF
South Carolina now is about the most
lonely man in the senate. He is the
sole representative of the great and
numerous Smith family. His name
appears on the roll sheets as simply
'Mr. Smith" He looks up with puz-
zled expression whenever the Clerk
shouts his name and does not specify
"South Carolina" 1t is the first time
in many years that but one Smith has
held down a seat in the senate. For
a long period there were four OF that
name answering to the hail OF Sera-
tor. The elections/of last November
from the senate Hoke of Georgia.

The Late DR.. John D. kershaw
Published bV ReaueStl

uDIlSuCu DS iSSIOSS-I
To the Editor of the News and
Courier Just short while since l
greeted DR.. Kershaw on the streets
almost within shadow Of st. MichaePS,
where he had labored for twenty-five
years. He was, as always, full Of
life and hope. with no hint on him
of the great change shortly to be
manifested.
As the late lamented Judge Gage
wrote me in his last letter, Dr.. ker-
shaw, "with Gods sunshine on his
head and Christ's love in his heart" "
cared naught for the feshpots Of
EARTH"
His was the pefect love that casteth
out fear. To him creation swarmed
with evidence of Christ's living reality
and of His boundleSS love.
With such spirit he faced death on
the battlefield, and later the stern
fproblems of living. 1t was Gods
world; he was Gods servant; what
came, whether of joy or sorrow, came
from a hand that Showered blessing,
in whose service he was not afraid
Such service is all that remains of
ROYALTY on earth. The tinsel, the trap
pings, all that mans superstition and
vanity had brought together from re-
mote times to advertise the outside OF
royalty have been stripped away. Few
kings remain on tEcir thrones.
Kingliness, however, remains. The
great commanding qualities that lifted
one man above his fellows in times
gone by and enabled him TO serve, as
no other could serve, either by wis
dom or physical strength, the needs OF
human kind, have merely been shifted
from the individual to the race.
Service alone is royal, and service
with the Kings of Kings is most royal.
The De Saussures, the Gourdins AMI
the Kershaws, in common with their
kind, have rendered large service to
humanity in their day and generation
Following in the wake Of his illus
trious ancestors, DR.. John kershaw
took service under the Master and has
bought with his life place in the
enduring affections ofhis fellow coun-
trymen.
He walked with God and God has
taken him. To US remain an lmper-
ishable memory and lovely example
of grace wrought into deed.
For such a life lent US for season
through the merciful compassion OF
God, we thank the Giver of Life, who
holds US in "the hollow Of his hand"

AN OLD RECIPE
To DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair. Dark
d and Glossy.T

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft Wbrush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet. requisite. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. . q
