heard with sympathy and regret
the announcement of the death

married to Mr.. Gamble, who sur

Partial to South Carolina.

j. L. Young, well known busi-
ness man Of Fort Mill, returned
to his home Saturday after spend
ing several weeks at Rochester,
Mmn. Asked yesterday if he
thought he would rather live in
that section of the country than
in South Carolina. Mr.. Young
answered very promptly in the
negative. 81 did not see in Min
ncsota one thing which made me
think l would enjoy life up there
more than l enjoy it here" said
he. ITO begin with, the climate
is against Minnesota. During the
winter the temperature frequent
ly goes to 80 below zero and sell
dom rises above zero, l was told.
The section of the State in which
l was has less than three months
OF summer, real summer, and
when l left there last Wednesday
many men were still wearing their
|orercoats, although the trees were
dressed up in their new foliage
aid vegetation generally was in
full flower.
Rochester is a city of about
1900 people and is l25 miles
north of Minneapolis. One thing
that impressed me about the place
was it's two excellent daily news
papers, which carry a big volume
Of advertising and apparently
are read by almost everybody.
The people with whom / came in
contact were not complaining of
the business depression, but |
noticed that the stores did not
appear to be doing much bust
ness. Returning home | spent
several hours in Chicago and |
was glad when the time came for
ME to leave the city. From what
| learned by reading the newspa.
pers while l was away, man :
life may be worth nickel II.
Chicago, but hardly a dime. The
city is overrun with crooks and
cutthroats."

one son, Thomas Jordan, 10 years

Basis of Promotion.

f. NJ. Mack, superintendent of
the, Fort Mill graded school, yes
terday said that he had received
SO many inquiries from parents
whose children failed of promo
tion to higher grades as result
o. their work for the sessin that
he desired to make an explana-
ton Of the rules governing such
promotions. "a pupils final
grade" said Mr.. Mack, lis the
average of the monthly or quar-
terly grades throughout the
year. For instance, a pupil who
has the quarerly grades of 20, rs,
80 and IS would have final
grade of 771-2. A pupil who
makes grade Of less than 70 on
one subject may be promoted on
trial, or conditioned in that sub
ject. A pupil who fails on two
or more subjects must remain in
the same grade and take the same
work over next year. Reading,
arithmetic and English are very
important and failure in any one
of these clearly indicates lack
OF preparation for the next high
el grade. Poor attendance was
the cause of the majority Of the
failures during the past year. 1t
is only the exceptionally bright
pupil who can be absent large
part Of the time and still make
the next grade. 1t is also q fact
that pupils who are habitually
tardy are nearly always poor
Istudents."

Boil wesvil Sprays Useless.

A warning against liquid spray
er attachments to cotton poison
ing machinery is issued by the
United States department Of ag-
,riculture. Calcium arsenate ap-
piled as dust, it is pointed out,
is the only certain means yet
found for controlling the boil
weevil and any effort at control
by liquid sprays is useless. Spray
er attachments are therefore not
Only unnecessary but an added
burden. They increase the cost
OF machinery and make it more
difficult and complicated to ope.
rate. The liquid spray, even if it
We're as effective as the dust
method, would be decidedly more
expensive. 1t would necessitate
the use Of water carts, to feed
the machines, would demand an
ample and constant water supply
which is not available on most
farms and in various ways would
increase the cost of poisoning op-
erations.
= Orchardists and others who
have to conduct poisoning opera
tions regularly are constantly
searching for poisons that can be
busted instead of sprayed. Cot
ton growers, it is stated, are very
fortunate in that the only really
effective method of controlling
the boil weevil is the dust meth
cd and they should not waste
time and money in experimenting
with the expensive spray meth
DDS that farmers in other lines
are so constantly trying to get
away from.

Endorse W. H. Harrison
 For County Judge

We, the Bethel Church people have known w. H. Harrison all his life and know him to be a good, law-abiding citizen and al- so know the same of his folks. He was raised on the farm and his reputation stands very high and we gladly recommend him to anyone.
 He taught school at various places since 1914. so his education is sufficient to qualify him for the office and to enable him to fulfill his duties as County Judge.
 He is member of this Method ist Church and has been Sunday School Supt., teacher, treasurer. and secretary, also church secre- tary and advisory committeeman ever since he was old enough. He is a minister of the gospel and our influence is behind him and gladly say he is as recom- mended.
 We also explain this his experi- ence in the world wide war and officers training. also patriotic campaigning he made before he enlisted in the army enables him to a responsible position also we know he would have been exempt from the army as he was a minis. ter and if he would have claimed his class would have been put ir class five.
 Let's give hlm a chance and he will produce the goods because he attended Sunday School sever years without missing a Sunday as shown on our records. Unanimously endorsed by ths Methodist Protestant Church. T. Lawrence, Pastor.

But Look Whose
 OK Was Cored

Some years ago, a shudder went over the continent at propositi- on. for the relief of agriculture. that government provide storage for grain crops until q glutted market could be relieved and prices resumed normality. The thing was not to be thought of. Financial circles led the hue and cry against such paternalism, and the matter was dropped. The former, since as before, has been left to the mercy of the elevator interests. with what re- suit he can tell you.
 The recent change in the directorship of the United States mint required an inventory, which shows that Uncle Sam is providing storage for about three billions of dollars in gold owned by private interests. for which it furnishes paper money much more convenient to us. This gold, in coin and bullion, aggre. gates a third of the estimated world supply, and does not in. clude that Tin circulation''in the vaults of banks as reserve. Be- sides the gold holdings, there are 676 millions of silver and other assets in the various vaults of the mint service.
 The difference between the storage of the farmers grain and the bankers gold would be hard to distinguish. yet one is pattern alism. fraught with danger to our institutions. while the other is government func- ti0n. Dearborn Independent.

IN ME MORIAM.
(The following memorial for Mrs. IThos. Douglass was adopted by the Woman's Missionary Soc iety of the M. E. Church. South |.

ietv of the M. F.. Church. SOuth). Fold her, Ohl Father, in thine arms,
 And let her henceforth be
 A messenger of love between Our human hearts and Thee. '
 In the stiffness of the morn- ing. January the 18th. 1922. the death angel called and Lillian Carter Douglass closed her eyes forever on the scenes of this world. to open them in the celes- tial city. that Beautiful home of the soul"
 Lillian Douglass was a woman of remarkably lovable and sympa- thetic personality and the friends she had acquired during her life time residence in Ozark were numbered .y hundreds. Possess ed of a broad.minded dignity she met every duty of home. family. church and community calmly and effectively. Hers was a highly useful life. Duty to her was the goal of life and although death claimed her in the midst of life. she reached her goal. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church and Woman's Missionary Society; a talented artist and it was her greatest de- light to use this gift for the pleasure. of others: and it has been said of her work: Any thing that Lillian Douglass touch- es is more beautiful" There was unusual artistic beauty in all of her work. In every relation of life she was true to it's duties and responsibilities and perform ed them happily and well. The value of such a life cannot be es- timated this side of eternity.
 While we as members of the Missionary Society sympathize with bereaved family in the talk ing away of this beloved wife and mother, yet we feel that our loss is her gain. knowing well that her trust was in Him who doeth all things we'll. She leaves to her son and daughter and rela- tives the rich legacy of a useful. beautiful life. and her works follow her.
