Surviving the deceased are two
brothers. Messrs. j. 4. and ]. r
Shute. and the following sisters
Mrs. Elizabeth Brewer. Mrs. Ellie
Wilson, Miss Emma Shute, OF Mon
roe, and Mrs. B. F. Houston. ol
Charlotte.
Although native of Lancaster
county, Mr.. Shute has been living in
Monroe for about sixty years. He
was born in Lancaster county, s. c..
May 8, 1851. and was the oldest son
of the late John Shute and Emaline
Funderburk Shute.
Nearly sixty years ago the late
John Shute, father of the deceased,
who was then living in Lancaster
county, decided to emigrate to Mis-
sissippi. The belongings of the fam
lily were packed in large canvas-cov-
cred wagons, and start to the dis
tant but fertile fields of the Missis-
sippi valley was made. Monroe. then
mere trading center, was Their first
stop; and while here, the family so
favorably. impressed the late John ID.
Stewart that after much argument
he succeeded in persuading the faith
er to give up his intention of going
south and remain here. Mr.. Henry
Shute was then about twelve years of
age. but being strong and muscular
for his age. he was OF great assist
ance to his father in making a start.
By hard work and thrift they laid
the foundation for the Shute fortune
which all told will probably equal If
not exceed a million dollars.
All of his life Mr.. Shute has been
worker. He farmed on a large
scale, not so much for the profit that
he might receive but from the pure
joy he derived from tilling the soil.
He loved the land. respected 1t. He
did not exhause the fertility OF the
soil. but increased II year by year.
With his brothers, Messrs. ]. r.
and j. t. Shute, he did much con-
structive work for Monroe by erect
Ing many handsome buildings, chief
OF which Is the old post office, opera
house, Monroe Hardware wholesale
house, and the Bank of Union build
ings. By investing literally in new
enterprises. they also encouraged To-
cal enterprises.
In his business dealings, Mr.. Shute
always acted squarely and honestly.
Everybody reposed much confidence
In him. and there are many Monroe
citizens who are indebted to him for
good advice.
The deceased was many times
member of the town council. and was
also a consecrated member of the
Methodist church.

AMERICAN LEGION POST
is TO HAYR CLUB ROOMS
Enough stock Already Sold TO Fur
nisi, Piaee-Ladies Auxiliary
Also To BE Organized.
WILL GIVE A MINSTREL SHOW

Al a meeting Of the executive com-
mittee OF Melvin Deese Post OF the
American Legion held at the Cham
Der OF Commerce rooms last night
II was decided, after hearing the re-
port of the adjutant. that enough
shares had been taken TO enable
them to start and furnish their head
quarters. A committee was appoint
ed to arrange for the place where
headquarters are to be established
with power to act. A committee was
also appointed to arrange for the
furnishing of the rooms in a COM
Portable manner
The post commander was authoriz-
ed to sign contract with the John
Rogers Producing Company of Fos-
toria, Ohio. the company that lately
put on katcha-Koo here. to put on
their celebrated ameteur minstrel
show, "Houp-La." which is a scream
from start to finish, and with the
splendid musical talent that is in
Monroe. should prove one of the
most attractive shows that we have
ever put on in the town. II is be-
lieyed that the vacant dates the
company has will be about April 7th
and Sth. This will give ample time
to get the headquarters fitted up and
III good Running shape before the ar
rival OF the director.
Ii has been the desire of the Amer
ican Legion for some time 10 have
proper headquarters where the men,
bers can meet in a social way, write
their letters and discuss plans for the
betterment of the ex-service person.
The Post. however. was determined
that 1t would not bo into debt for the
furnishings, etc., of the headQuar-
ters, so by active canvass among the
members sufficient sum has been
obtained to guarantee starting with
the assurance that cash will be paid
Tor everything and the Headquarters
start out on paid up basis.
The Post has now an active, paid
up membership OF about 100 men,
bers and is engaged in getting up
Woman's Auxiliary to act in concert
with II. Members OF the auxiliary
may be the mothers, wives or sisters
OF any member In good standing OF
the American Legion. At present
the auxiliary Is acting with the Le-
gion, but when the State Is properly
organized into posts the auxiliary
will be an Independent body. holding
its own state convention and acting
generally totally Independent OF the
Legion. yet its assistant In every
good work. 1t goes without saying
that the Monroe post will be one Of
the best in the state. and will have a
full and enthusiastic membership.
Mr.. Frank Redfearn Is at present
committee appointed by the post to
look after this very important mat
ter and is at work on the new post.
A called meeting of the post will
be announced as soon as the date Ia
definitely arranged for the minstrel
show.

BEAR BELIEVED TO Be AT
LARGE In The COUNTY
Strange Animal Leaves Tracks In
Lower Section of County That
Tend to Uphold This Belief.
TERRoRIzED Dogs AND STOCK

Mineral Springs, r. f. d. No. 1,
Feb. 17.-Quite a lot OF excitement
was caused here last night by the ap-
pearance OF some strange wild ami
NAL. believed by many to have been
bear. II visited the homes of Sam
Alexander. colored, Mr.. John Baker
and your correspondent. No damage
was done except dogs and stock were
terrorized. At the home OF your cor
respondent mule was so scared that
II was impossible to keep him in the
barn. Perspiration literally ran down
his back, he was SO frightened.
When the animal reached the place
of Mr.. John Baker II gave vent to
the most hair-ralsing sound ever
heard In this section. II sounded
more like calf in excruciating agony
than any other sound that | can re-
call except II was short and staccato.
II continued yelling for about two
minutes.
Meanwhile, a posse was formed,
but by the time IL had arrived on
the scene the animal had gone to the
woods near the old Nesbit mine. On
account of the density of the woods,
the chase was abandoned for the
night. The next morning. however.
no trace of the animal could be
found. II was suTmised that the
varmint. or "bcar." had gone down
Cane Greek towards McCain's mill.
Old timers declare II TO be a good
sized bear by Its tracks. The writer
and about twenty little darkies hope
that II will keep going.

February Seventeenth.

l notice in The Journal of a recent
date that lady in Nebraska miss
Margaret Fedde) has figured out the
annual value of housewives.
l have no doubt that the multi
tude OF domestic servants who wear
the title farm women" will be
much pleased to learn Of their extra
ordinary worth as home workers. The
only trouble l see with the PROPOSE
tions is that Miss Fedde didn't tell
the farm women where the salary
was to come from. nor how it was
to be collected; with these two latter
points made clear, we would at once
enter into haven of bliss, and have
regular ''jimboree" of a time.
l believe the census figures show
that about forty million Of our pop
ulation are engaged in farming. II
We figure five to the family, this
means eight million families. We
win have to allow one housewife to
each family, and this will gve us
eight million housewives. At a sal
airy of four thousand dollars each,
ii will take thirty-two billions of
dollars TO pay off the women in the
farm homes. .where-in-de-name-o'-God.
am all dis money gwine to come
frum?
Work and Pay is a Different Matter.
The farm women who do all the
things that Miss Fedde enumerates
and they do 'em, no doubt about
it, certainly do deserve pay for the
work. land there's no doubt about
that either) but pay is one of the
last things they think about. They
have become so used to doing these
things gratis that they have about
lost sight of the fact that there is
anything else attached to life except
work and that work Is not supposed
TO command salary in ones own
home.
do not remember just now what
the total value of the whole pro-
duction Of farm crops are. do not
remember to have ever seen a value
sufficient to pay the housewives a
thirty-two billion dollar wage placed
on 1t, however. and | would suggest
that Miss Fedde revise her figures
little and get the sum down to where
the whole yield of field crops will
pay the bill and not have our wives
sueing us for balance on last years
wages.

MAY RUN FOR ALDERMAN
ON ECONOMY PLATFORM
Mr.. 4. q. Faust Advocates Sale OF
Water and Light Plant and Re-
duction OF City Employees. T..
HE OPPOSES PRIVILEGE TAxEs

Mr.. L. G. Faust is considering
making the race for alderman from
his ward on an economy" platform
which includes planks advocating the
sale Of the water and light plant
abolishment of the office of city taS
collector, and reduction of the num-
ber OF policemen to three. His plat
form. as briefly outlined. will be;
l. Decrease our liabilities by
liquidating ali assets.
2. Sell the water and light plant.
By doing so, saving of around two
thousand dollars a month in salaries
and labor would result, and | will
guarantee cheaper rates for water
and lights.
8. Discontinue all street improve
ment projects until all Of the paving
laid during the past four or FIVE years
has been paid for.
4. abolish the office OF city tax
collector his duties to be assumed
by the chief of police.
5. Reduce the number OF police
men to three, and require the "day
hh"h w dioo at ds SANITARY OlHttf. I.
s. Remove all privilege taxes. It
Is not justice to tax home merchant
for the privilege of conducting a
legitimate business. Impose special
privilege taxes, however. upon timer
ent traders. Merchants and business
men who pay taxes for the support
of the city government are due this
protection.
z. Require every man to cut the
grass In front of his own door. thus
saving several hundred dollars a
month paid out during the summer
to a gang OF negroes to inadequately
perform this little necessity.
s. Good government, justice to
all and special privileges to none;
and a policy of intrenchment that
will bring about a considerable re-
duction In the tax rate.

$4,000 a Year Would Satisfy Old

BY NOvUs HOMO.

wives and all the kids worked like
the devil last year and only made
enough TO pay the fertilizer and the
rent bill. They spent from six hun
dred to Q thousand dollars, on their
farms and threw in all the labor, in
cluding the "old wumman" and did
not get near enough out of debt to
be in hollering distance of the fellow
who got the nearest out.
We do not wish to be understood
as trying to discourage Miss Fedde.
On the other hand we are glad that
she Is showing the value that goes
with this kind of work. We have
believed all the time that the work
was important and that IL should
carry remuneration. but I'm blessed
IL its been doing 1t and unless we
can turn things face foremost, and
get the proceeds of labor to accrueing
to the benefit of those who do the
laboring instead of being extracted
from them by means of market jug
glers and financial magates COR
maggots) We had better not tell these
working folks that there is any
wages for 'em. It's calculated TO
make 'em restless, and besides if they
should get to taking these writers
seriously and begin to believe that
they are telling the truth, and should
decide to put in their claims for
service rendered - including back
time - / don't know what in the
thunder would become of us.
Two Thousand Would Satisfy Whole
Family.
Seriously now, let's cut that four
thousand down about half, to begin
with. Millions of farmers whose
wives and children work in the fields
and in the house and in the barn lot
from Christmas to Christmas, would
have seven kinds of "jimminy fits"
IL they could have reasonable assur-
ance that the whole twelve months
labor would yield them a gross in
come of two thousand dollars.
l am very sure. therefore, that
two thousand dollars will satisfy the
old man, old woman. and the kids.
and Miss Fedde can have the other
two thousand, (if she can find it,
to apply to repair work. in restoring
the devastated homes that have been
wrecked by this foolish onslaught
of the money-mad, who have left In
its Shiny trail the miserable shrieks
OF wretchedness we hear on every
side. thank you.
