Rev. ]. Q. Adams.

|, Ridgeway, Feb. 21.-Ridgeway
was saddened yesterday morning to
learn that the Rev. ]. @. Adams, D.
D., had passed away at o'clock from
an attack of angina pectoris of which
he had been a patient sufferer for
some time.
Due to failing health DR.. Adams
had retired from active service in the
ministry of the Baptist church and
for several years had lived most of
the time at the home of his son, R.
w. Adams, in Ridgeway, where, by
his strong personality and Christian
fortitude had made friends Of all who
came. in contact with him.
The Rev. Joseph Quincy Adams
was born in Edgefeld county, August
z, 1855, the son of Richard Wright
Adams, one of the most influential
citizens of that section of the state.
After the ordinary country school
training such as the times afforded,
Mr.. Adams left for Grcenville, where
he was graduated in 1876. Later he
was graduated from the Southern
Baptist Theological seminary in
Louisville, KY, and Immediately en-
tered upon the active Baptist minis
try at Ebenezer. He served success
sively at Ebenezer, Rock Hill, Ashe-
vile, Wadesboro, Reidville and For
est City, the four latter charges in
North Carolina, and at the South
Main church, Greenwood; Harmony
and Providence church, Gaffney.
During the latter years of his min
istry new .hous of worship were
erected under direction at Char
lotte, Forest { Greenwood, Har-
mony and Pr =. DR.. Adams
was in the istry for more
than 40 years. ..e twice married,
his first wife being Miss Mamie B.
Davis of Greenville, who died in 1899
leaving three sons, DR.. j. @. Adams,
Jr., of Ithaca. N. Y, professor of
English at Cornell university, Win
ston D. Adams of Charlotte, secre-
tary and treasurer of the American
Cotton Manufacturers association,
and Richard w. Adams, cashier of
the Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Ridgeway. The second marriage was
to Miss Leslie Peasants of Asheville,
who with two sons, Leslie P. Adams
and Lawrence P. Adams, survives.
The funeral will take place at
Wadesboro, N. c., Tuesday afternoon
at 8 o'clock, the services being in

Small Fertilizer Movement.

Just what the reduction will be in
the use of commercial fertilizers will
be this year is matter of conjecture,
but it is certain that there will be a
tremendous falling off in the purchas-I
ing of fertilizers by Edgefeld far
mers. Capt. L. Y. Moore says the re-
ceipts thus far at Edgefeld are less
than five per cent cf what they weee
this time last season. In December
alone in 1919 Capt. Moore says he
hauled 166 cars Of fertilizers into
Edgefeld and that up to this time
this season only about Ia cars have
been delivered here, or rather put in
the Edgefeld warehouses. This is due
to two causes: the high price of fer
tilizers and the greatly curtailed pur-
chasing power of farmers. Scores and
hundreds who used fertilizers liber-
ally last year will probably not be
able to purchase sack for the crop
of 1921, and those who can buy are
loath to place their orders at the
present high prices. The fact is, peo-
pie can not afford to pay the prevail
ing prices with the outlook for the
price next fall so gloomy and uncer-
tain. Then, too, it will be folly to fer
tilize cotton with high priced fertili-
zers for the boil weevil to get fifty
per cent of it or more.

A Lovely Party at Trenton.

The Kill Kare Klub which is striv-
ing to build a public library started
the year by giving party at the
home of the president, Miss Sabe
Miller, on Wednesday evening, Feb
ruary 16. Each member of the club
invited a young man as her guest.
As the members of the party en-
tered they were ushered into the par
lors under a bower of hearts. The
parlors were decorated in red and
white japonicas, Gala lilies and
hearts.
When all the guests had assembled,
cards of Cupids and hearts were
drawn for partners and then a salad
course was served.
The tables for cards were number
ed with large red hearts bearing the
white number in the center. On each
table was a heart shaped basket of
mints and the call bell at head table
was decorated with hearts.
After spirited game of cards for
about two hours charlotte russo with
cherries and fruit cake was served.
After refreshments had been served
Mr.. John Mathis of Augusta rendered
several beautiful selections on the
violin accompanied by Miss Gatlin
at the piano.
AS each guest departed red or a
white japonica was drawn. When
"goodnights" were being said the
young men gave fifteen "rah rahs"
for the Kill Kare Klub.

Were it possible to buy at the pre-
!yailing prices the goods and the
chattels that are being sold almost
every day on the public square under
mortgage foreclosure and sell them
for what they are actually worth, one
could easily make small fortune.
The buying would be easy, if one had
the ready cash, but the selling is an
other matter. It's great pity how
ever, that property has to be thus
sacrificed.

charge of the Rev. Livingston John
son, D. D., of Raleigh, N. c., life
long friend. DR.. Adams was well
known throughout South Carolina
and numbered his friends by the score
in every section of the state.
DR.. Adams was greatly beloved in
his home county of Edgefeld. For
many years he would return each
spring or summer and visit his rela-
tives in Edgefeld and the scenes of
his childhood and youth. He had visit
ed during the past fall his cousin,
Mrs. Susan Daniel in Saluda, and had
hoped to return again and see all of
his relatives, but this reunion must
now take place in the Eternal City
where he has gone and awaits them.
DR.. Adams was an uncle of DR.. Manly
Timmons, but they were nearly the
same age and most devoted from
their cheildhood. Perhaps he will feel
the bereavement along with Mrs.
Daniel and Mrs. Bette Allen of Sa-
luda more than any others, though
there are many others who deplore
his going.
