Shortly after midnight, Friday
February IL, 1921. the soul OF our
beloved brother F. ]. Green, left its
tenement OF clay and winged its way
homeward TO the bosom of the Saw
Tor.
Mr.. Green was born June 20. 1849,
and departed this life February IL.
1921, age se~venty-one years. seven
months and nineteen days. On Feb.
81, 1879 he was happily married to
Miss Isadora MCLEAN. To this
union there we're born FIVE sous and
four daughters. There are nineteen
grandchildren. He united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
more than thirty-five years ago. He
was the last of the old settlers to go
to his reward.
He was an upright citizen, respec-
ted and loved in the Gown and COM
munity where he spent the most of
his life In his death all feel that
"a good man has gone; n who will
be missed 10 the home, church and
community.
In his religious life he was modest
unassuming. rather reserved. He
never was prominent as a church
leader but in his quiet way tried TO
serve his Maker. in his declining
years he attended services at all the
churches as often as his health
would permit. tn his home life he
read and studied his Bible and died
ia the faith. standing On the precious
promises he found In that Book.
He was a christian gentleman, quiet
but soclable and at all times friend
ly. kind and courteous. He won for
himself an abiding place in the
hearts Of his associates.
The death of this dear brother was
a triumph of christian faith. Amid
all the sadness and sorrow that
crushed hearts so dear. there was
a note of Joy, as loved ones and
friends stood by and heard him sing
himself out of this life into a life hid
with Christ in God. Surely such a
life and death ought to comfort the
sorrowing hearts and strengthen
faith in o Divine Redeeuer.
In the absence OF a Methodist pas
tor, the funeral services were con-
Quoted by the writer, at the Method
list church of which brother Green
was a member at his death.
All the stores closed for the funer-
al and a large crowd of relatives and
friends came to pay their last trib-
ute of love and respect to their be.
loved relative and friend.
We cannot close without invoking
upon the family of our deceased
brother, the help and blessings oil
Him who alone can help and bless
when we stand stricken and stunned
in the sad hour OF death. May you
hear the still small voice whispering
pace to your broken hearts, saying,
Let not your heart be troubled.
All is we'll with husband and father.
He is calling you to make your peace
calling and election sure with God
that all may meet again in an unbro'
ken circle IN the great beyond
around one common mercy seat.
As your minds linger upon the
ties that bound you SO affectionately
to him, in words almost divine you
say:
You are gone but not forgotten,
And we love you as of yore.
You have gone to DO with Jesus,
On that bright and peaceful shore.

TO EDDIE COLLINS

Chicago, May 26.-Eddie Collins,
captain Of the Chicago White Sox and
nationally famous ball player, has
been selected by Chicgo American Lee
gion posts as typifying the real Amer
lean baseball hero.
The legion posts recently decided
to select some one representing true
Americanism as we'll as athletic pro-
ficiency to autograph baseball which
would be auctioned to raise funds for
disabled soldiers. Collins was chosen
and Commander John G. Little, Jr.,
of the Roosevelt post, in making the
announcement said:
eve are admirers of the ball play
er of the Collins type. He was past
the draft age in 1917. Even had he
been within the draft age, he had
family dependent on him, and easily
could have gained exemption. On the
other hand he could have obtained any
number of swivel chair jobs in Wash
ington or he could have become a
camp athletic instructor. Instead, he
enlisted as a private in the marines
and was promoted to the rank of cor
poral for loyal service. He passed up
the soft jobs to endure the hard
ships of the toughest Jobs in a real
mans army and never murmured.'

COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS,
CHARLESTON, FIRST PLUM

Washington, March l9.-One OF
the first South Carolina plums to fall
from the federal tree will be that OF
collector of customs at Charleston, it
is strongly indicated today. There
are at least two applicants, j. 0. Lee
of North Charleston and L. W. C..
Blalock of Goldville.
Mr.. Lee claims to have the en-
dorsement of the regular organization
while Mr.. Blalock is regarded as one
of the leaders >of the so-called irreg-
ular organization.
While there is considerable specu-
lation as to appointments to other
positions, it is regarded as practical
ly certain that R. R. Tolbert of Alb
beville will be made collector Of in
ternal revenue. Mr.. Tolbert is bro
ther to Joseph W. Tolbert, member
of the republican national committee,
and oldest member of that committee
in point of continuous service. Ii
has been previously published that he
will dispense patronage in South Car
olina.

Report
The State.

The State.
Washington, March 21.-Ginning
statistics for the season Of l920-2l,
announced today by the census bu-
reau, tending to prove that the cur
rent crop is the sixth largest in the
history of the country, is grossly in
accurate, according to Senator j..
Thomas Heflin Of Alabama and other
congressional experts Who have
steadfastly contended that all gov
ernment reports have been "unduly
inflated"
-" "The report of the census today,
said Senator Hef1in, proves conclu-
sively that there is immediate need
for the investigation which, under a
resolution of Senator E. D. Smith OF
South Carolina, the senate will short
" undertake. AS result of that in
yestigation, it will be shown just how
much cotton remains in the country,
and am positive that it will be dis
closed that the census figures are al
most 100000 in excess of that
which was actually produced.
Government figures since the
present crop was planted, have in
yariably impressed the world that
there was to be a surplus supply.
This impression has demoralized the
market and cost the South many mil
lions Of dollars"
Senators Heain and Smith assailed
the estimate of the department OF
agriculture last December as toe
great. The census figures indicate
that the departments estimate was
nearly 100000 bales short. .Th2 SEN
aerial investigation will be Initiated
as soon as Senator Smith returns to
Washington. II. W. II.

FRENCH DECLARE NEED
FOR MORE. SUBMARINES
Naval Committee Adopts Res
olution Favoring Big Con-
struction Program.
by Associated Prcss.l

PAR1S. Nov. 1.-THE naval COM
mittee OF the Senate passed a resolu-
ton today advocating an increase in
the number of submarines sufficient
to insure the security OF Frances
coast line. The adoption OF the reso-
luton followed long discussion.
which was precipitated largely by
Mr. Balfour's advocacy at Washing
ton of a further reduction in the co.
600 tons permitted under tho plan OF
Secretary hughes.
Vicomte dc EcrgucZec, the chair
man. urged AN amendment favoring
the construction of twenty-four adj
ditional submarines. bnt the MEM
bers Of the committee advocated 4
more general declaration. leaving the
actual number to be built to later
discussion.
The Hughes plan IS heartily In
dorsed, but in French naval circles
IL Is declared that France needs a
powerful submarine fleet. and 4 max
iinum of 10000 tons does not seem
excessive for nations weak in other
branches Of naval defense.
The French press also lays stress
on the necessity OF France maintains
ing an adequate submarine force. and
the journal Dcs Dcbats says that
while Premier BRAND has not yet
judged it opportune to reply TO Mr.
Balfour on this point, 1t is hoped In
France that he will do so without
