Tribute to, j. H. Coltharp.

The Yorkyifle Enquirer pays
the following tribute to the mem
ory of Josiah II. Coltharp, who
died at. his home in Fort Mill
township on Friday, June II:
Every inch a gentleman and
all-round good citizen was Josiah
H. Corrharp, who passed away at
his home in Fort Mill township
last Friday at the ripe old age of
81. He was a native of Fort Mill
township and lived within few
miles of the spot on which he was
born all his life except during
the four years he spent in the
war. He was never rich and
never wanted to be, but. owned
his own farm and lived ON it in
comfort ) and happiness, notwith-
standing a stroke of paralysis
that troubled him during the last
2Cyears of his life: He was a man
of large intelligence, correct prin-
ciples and never failing fund
Of wholesome humor that made
things pleasant for all with whom
he came in contact. He was al
ways against evil of whatever
nature, there was never any ques;
tion of where he stood as to mat
ters involving morals, and no
man. in his neighborhood stood
higher in the estimation of all the
people"

Henry Ford Is preparing to
complete the economic cycle of
bia.. industrial empire by buying
the government's 100 msllion dol
lar. nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals,
Ala.
This plant is still incomplete
and idle, lacking an appropria-
tion of Is million to finish it and
put it into operation.
Ford plans to transform this
white elephant into a paying
proposition in the same way in
which his wizardy changed the
d., T. & l. railroad from $780,
600 a month loser to money
maker.
Ford's first step in setting up
an Industrial empire was to es-
tablish his own parts" factories
ia Detroit for his auto and tractor
plants. His second step was to.
purchase outright his sources of
raw materials. His third step
was, to buy the d., Il. & l. rail
road to transport much of these
materials to his factories.
Now he is taking his fourth
step-negotiating for the pur-
chase of the great nitrate plant.
Whyf. To provide cheaper nj
trates for farm fertilizer; thus to
improve the farms and increase
the, farm market for tractors and
automobiles, r. B..
