THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1922

Several weeks ago in speaking OF
the transfer of Tom Poston to the
penitentiary by Sheriff Gamble, The
Record stated that he was accom-
panied by Messrs. L. D. Rodgers and
S. w. Mcintosh as deputies. AS oul
sheriff is doing everything he can to
conduct the office he holds on an
economic basis, The Record wishes its
readers to understand that these gen
tlemen were not summoned as PAID
deputies for this purpose. They each
had business in the capitol city ano
took advantage of the opportunity to
accompany Sheriff Gamble on this
particular mission, and would doubt
less been of service to him as depu'
ties, had their service been required
Some of the less thoughtless readers
of The County Record have taker
this as an occasion to criticise Sheriff
Gamble for hiring additional depu
ties for this occasion, thereby incur
ring additional expense to the county
We wish it understood that this il
not the case and that in this particu
lar instance the sheriff was only fol
lowing his economic trend.

Miss Mary E. Graham Passed Away

Miss Mary E. Graham died Feb.
ruary 10, 1922, in the forty-sixth yea,
O. her age.
Her life was that of true Chris
tian. She was ever ready to respond
to the needs of others regardless Of
any sacrifice on her part.
She was true to her church ane
a sincere Sunday school teacher, serv'
ing for a number of years until health
fsiled her about six years ago. She
has spent the most of her time since
then in the Hospital until taken with
pneumonia, which caused her death
She was sick only short time be-
fore death claimed her.
The funeral services were conducted
OF, Sunday morning February IL, by
Rev. ]. R. Johnson at Bethesda church
who very impressively told of hel
useful life.
The large number present on this
sad occasion and the beautiful f1oral
tribute spoke of the high esteem in
which she was held.
AS the casket was being conveyed
from the church to the cemetary, the
choir softly sang Rock Of Ages. She
was laid to rest by the side of her
father.

A Plea For Dad.

He may wear a last years straw
hat; his fngernails may need mani
curing; his vest may hang a little
loose, and his pants may bag at the
knees; his face may show signs Of a
second days growth, and the tin din
ner bucket he carries may be full Of
dents and doughnuts; but don't call
him old man. He's your father.
For years and years he has been
rustling around to get things to-
gether. Never once has he failed to
do the right thing by you. He thinks
his son the greatest boy on earth,
bar none, even though the son plasters
his hair back, wears smart clothes,
smokes cigarettes and fails to bring
home a cent. He is the man who
won the love and life partnership of
the greatest woman on earth-your
mother.
He is "some man." not "the old
man." If you win as good wife as
he did, you will have to 60 some.

Mother and Children Burned to Death

Aiken, Feb. 21.-Mrs. C. E. Monts,
her two sons and a baby girl were
burned to death, and Mr.. Monts was
probably fatally buned in fire which
destroyed their home here early this
morning.
The fire, which was discovered
shortly after midnight, made such
rapid headway that it was impossi-
BILE to rescue Mrs. Monts and the
children. The fire was first discov-
cred when flames burst from the Sec
ond ssorv windows and when the fire
bells failed to give the alarm neigh
bors fred pistols and guns to attract
attention. The first person to arrive
on the scene found Mr.. Monts in an
unconscious condition in the lower
hall of the house, where he had ap-
parently been overcome while trying
to rescue the children, as the bodies
we're seen in this section Of the burn
ing building. Mrs. Mcnts was ap-
pare1.tly trying to make her way
downstairs with the little girl when
overcome.
Mr.. Monts was badly burned about
the face and hands, and is thought
to be in a serious condition. He is
in the hospital here. Mr.. Monts has
been agent here for the Southern
Railway for twenty years and is held
in high esteem by the citizens Of
Aiken. It is not known how the fire
started.

ST0CkHAM TALKS
 TO HOWARD PEOPLE

William II, stoelSham. a member of the board of trustees of Birmlngham- Southern college talked to the stu dents of Howard college yesterday about the new organization of sun day School workers, the Internatton- al Sunday School council of Religious Education. which will hold it's first national meeting at Birmingham in 1926
 Mr. Stockham first traced the growth of the uniform Sunday school lesson over period of 20 years to with a meeting of the Sunday School council, 20 years ago. to which the many publishers of Sunday School literature sent representatives.
 Despite the fact that the modern Sunday School organization is one of the most powerful organizations in the world, according to MT. Stock ham, it still reaches less than half of the young people. MT Stockham' s whole talk dwelt with the emphasis he felt the American people must come to lay upon religious educa- tion. He pointed out that should the many churches suddenly take up this work as they will eventually take it up, they could not find a sufficient number of men qualified to carry 1t on, and he made a plea to the stu cents of Howard to begin studies, which would prepare them to do at least this much for the church.

REPORTS
 ON DENGUE SHOW A
 TOTAL OF GAY CASES

Questionnaires from local physi- clans returned to the health depart ment yesterday. brought the total number of cases of dengue they had visited since August l. to CAT. Yes terday's replies covered 239 cases. and 4o8 had been previously report ed.
 The chart at the health offices, on which the information obtained from the survey is plotted. show that the greatest number of cases of dengue have been reported within the limits of old Birmingham.
 Health officials explained the small number of cases of dengue re- ported prior to the sending out of the questionnaires to the fact that physicians over the country have not until recently came to recognize the new disease readily. No cases of dengue were reported in August, 1 in September. and only about 30 in De- tober. prior to sending out the ques- tionnaires.
 A let up in the spread of dengue is expected by Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer. owing to the advent of cool weather.
