when she called members of her
family to the bedside and told them
that she was dying and for them to
meet her in better world.
We dare not ask why she was TAX
en- from us in the prime of mother
hood when her life could maze been
SO useful to her children and the
ones she loved, unless as flowers are
pluckod before the frost finds them
that we may not witness their de-
cay.
Mrs. Brucke lived consecratcd
christian life, having joined the Bap-
tist church in early girhood, and
died a triumphant death. She was

U. D. c. MEETING.

One Of the most pleasant meetings
of the United Daughters of the Con-
iederacy was held on last Friday
Afternoon at the home of Mrs. T. j.
Mauldin. These meetings seem to be
growing in the matter of interest
and enthusiasm and this one was
certainly no exception to the general
| rule. The roll call was answered BY
current events.
The historian asked that each one
get all war records of Confederate
soldiers possible and file them in
Columbia. She also reported that our
relic room in the court house was
open for inspection at any time. One
thing in particular which the U. D.
G. has there is an old loom, donated
by Capt. Jas. A. Griffin. The Dau-
ghters expect to hav. piece of cloth
i'll weaving by the third of June, and
hope to have the old wheel also in
operation.
Articles which attracted much at
tention for this room were tidy
knit by Mrs. John G. Calhoun, the
thread being spun by Mrs. Aaron
Boggs, and pair Of trousers given
by Mrs. G. e. Robinson which were
| worn by her grandfather Isaiah Cox,
Esq, who was born in 1890. The
cloth of which they were made was
woven by his wife Nancy Cox and
they we're made by his daughter
Hannah Cox in the SOS.
Mis-. Mauldin exhibited small
hymn book found on the battle field
at Charlottesville by Veteran Nc
Alexander which also goes in the rel
ic room.
Mrs. Vesta McFall and Mrs. Smith
were delegates appointed to attend
the Piedmont district convention at
Clemson 28th and 10Th. All others
are urged to go who possibly can.
Plans were discussed for Memorial
day, May 10th.
Next was a debate Resolved, that
the responsibility for Community
Welfare rests upon the Women. At
frmative, Mrs. Wayne Mauldin and
Mrs NJ. c. Smith; negative, Mrs.
Gary Hiott and Mrs. j. j. Lewis.
The judges were Mrs. Ida Smith,
Mrs. Earl Russell and Mrs. Will Ha-
good of Easlcy After much good
natured argument and fun it was
decided that the negative side won
Miss Frances Bruce, who was joint
hostess, assisted Mrs. Mauldin in
serving refreshing shcrbet ana cake
during the pleasant social half-hour.

BUSINESS MEN
HEAR TALK ON
TRANSPORTATION
RealtOr Tells Advantages of
Proposed Act to Control
State Franchises

Making pira for better transporta-
ton, which will enable the state ot
California to increase the wealth of its
real estate and hasten the day when
it will become the leading state in the
union, G. C. Wilson, chairman of the
speakers bureau of the California Real
Estate Association, placed before the
members of the Chambers of Commerce
and the Realty Board, convincing argu-
ments for the passage of the so-called
TRANSPORTATION Act Amendment at the
November election, at the weekly dim
ner of the chamber in the Oregon hotel
last evening.
After paying tribute to all Cham
bers of Commerce as community boost
ers who are doing the pioneer work in
building up the cities and towns of
California, Mr.. Wilson stated that very
little was achieved in the line of devel-
opment unless there was cooperation,
coordination of effort and unification
of command, and cited the California
Real Estate Association as the only or
ganization in California which has made
a study of the present chaotic condition
of transportation, in this state, which
is the result of not planning for the
future when the various systems were
inaugurated. He believed one fault OF
the American people is their failure to
plan for the future and pointed out
that of all the splendid cities in this
country, Washington, ID. c., is the only
one that was really built to take care
of future demands and was carefully
planned.
Would Transfer Power
"In California; said Mr.. Wilson,
"the right of granting franchises to
transportation companies is vested in
the various municipalities, with the re-
suit that one transporting system may
be operating, or trying to operate un-
der several franchises, each of which
may, expire at different times, thus
handicapping the companies in obtain
ing the necessary capital to operate,
causing an increase in the cost of main
tenance and production, and eventually
resulting in Il necessary increase in rates
with the resultant dissatisfaction to
the public which pays in the end.'
Following Mr.. Wilson s address, A. III.
Keller, vice-prcsdient of the chamber
who presided at the dinner, thanked
Mr.. Wilson for giving the members of
the chamber an opportunity to obtain
Il better understanding of the Trans
portation Act and expressed the hope
that the chamber would have the plea
sure of hearing him again in the near
future.
