JAMES T. CRENsHAW is DEAD.
Was Native Of Walhnlla, but Had
Resided ut Newry for Years.

Newry, Jan. 12.-Special: On the
4th day of January, 1921, the Death
Angel visited the home of James
Thomas Crenshaw and claimed him
as victim over the protest of those
who were near and dear to him. But
since the Death Angel is impartial,
he goes into the homes Of all--the
rich, the poor, the high and low
and claims his victims Just the same.
So on Jan. 4th, 1t pleased the Death
Angel to call James T.. Crenshaw
from uS. He was born at Walhalla
about the year 1852, having lived to
be about sixty-nine years old. His
death occurred at his home here at
Newry, where he had resided for a
great many years.
In the year 1876 Mr.. Crenshaw
was married to Miss Johanna Dodd,
who preceded him to the grave about
sixteen years, leaving him with six
sons and two daughters, all Of whom
now survive their father, their names
and places Of residence being as fol-
lows: j. D. Crenshaw, of Atlanta,
Ga; c. L. Crenshaw, Of Philadel-
phia, Pa; D. H., r. c., o. L., Thode
and Miss Jennie Crenshaw, and Mrs.
Claude Anderson, all Of the latter re-
siding near Newry
MIR. Crenshaw united with the Ma
sonic fraternity at Walhalla about 48
years ago, and at his death was an
honorary member Of Blue Ridge
Lodge No. 90. The funeral was con-
Quoted by members Of Walhalla and
Newry Masonic lodges. The interta
ment took place in the cemetery OF
the Fairview church. He was be-
loved brother, worthy Of the honor,
love and respect Of his fellow crafts
men. The religious rites at the fune
raj were conducted by Rev. Bro. w
NJ. Abbott.
The bereaved relatives have the
sympathy Of many friends in their
sorrow. b

stop Your Cold, Says Uncle Sam.

One Of the most important things
to do after having contracted a cold
Is to take foot bath at a tempera-
ture OF 115 degrees Fahrenheit, a
good, hot drink, either hot lemonade
or hot milk, and dose Of relaxing
medicine.
II 1t is convenient, it is we'll to
take a full hot or warm bath from
100 to 115 degrees, and then go at
once to bed.
You will be surprised how much
time you can save by recognizing the
first danger signal of the so-called
common cold.
AS regards food, eat moderately.
Whiskey and heavy doses Of quinine
which you frequently hear recon-
mended are decidedly Objectionable,
and do more harm than good.
Remember, the so-caIled cold may
be the beginning Of an attack of in
fuenza or tuberculosis, or pneumo-
MIA, or, in children, not infrequetnly,
Of whooping cough or measles.
A cold In young infant Is always
dangerous. 1t spreads rapidly If not
gotten promptly under control, and
soon involves the bronchial tubes
and the lungs, resulting in broncho-
pneumonia, which Is a very fatal dis
ease in children under five years of
age.
The mother who has q cold should
always wear mask when nursing
her baby, so as to prevent the posi-
bility OF any droplcts coming in con-
tact with the child.
The Baldwin Cotton Mills. one of
the largest textile plants in the Car
olinas, last week announced that it
would run on half time until it could

QUESTION CLEARED UP
WaIhalla Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.


Again and again we have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Walhalla's pertinent question
has always been "IIas anyone here in
Walhalla been cured" The word Of
stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as tho word
OF our own citizens, whom we know
and respect, and whose evidence we
can 80 easily prove.

We hear plenty these days of what

mighty little of what's right about

up in behalf of this government of
ours? Why not advertise on the

ton stands?
We'd suggest publicity for the Bill
of Rights in the constitution of the

from it, such as the following, ought
to be soapboxed in all communities

their just powers from the consent
