Two Sons, Aged 90 and z Mourn
Death of Father, Aged 1874 Yea,

Louisville, KY, July 1O.-Among
the many mourners at the funeral
of Uncle" John Shell, 1874 years old,
were his two sons, William, aged nine
ty, and Albert, seven, it became
known here today when news was re-
ceived that the oldest white man in
the world had died July at his home
at Greasy Creek. Albert is the off
spring of second marriage, "Uncle"
Johns first wife, who is said to have
been two years his senior, having died
about ten years ago.
The aged man retained full possess
sion of his faculties to the last and
discussed his funeral arrangements
with Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Creech
with whom he had made his home
since he lost his own place through
the foreclosure of mortgage several
months ago.
He was said to have been born in
Tennessee in September, 1888, the
son of Samuel Shell, gambler.
Up until the time he was discover
ed about four years ago, Uncle"
John, it is said, has led a secluded
life in the mountain country, but
since then he has travelled consider
ably, exhibiting himself at State
fairs.
In 1919 he took his first airplane
ride. On his visits to cities "Uncle"
John told newspaper interviewers that
he remembered once of having seen
Daniel Boone, and that he recalled the
general mourning that followed the
death of George Washington. He said
he was too old to enlist in the Mexican
War.

the provisions of this section as to
residence, if otherwise qualified"
Women are ineligible to jury duty
and even if they were liable, enrolling
in Democratic club would not in anv
way affect that matter.
Every white woman in Chesterfield
County should place her name on her
local club roll by July 25th. Even
though she does not intend to vote
they should place their names on the
club roll. By enrolling one does not
pledge himself to vote, but merely
making himself eligible to vote in
case he should desire to do so Aug
ust 29th, the day of the Primary.
However, if they fail to enroll by JULY
18th then the door is closed and they
cannot under any circumstances vote
In the primary in August. This applies
to men and women.
Some one has said that the women
out in the rural sections will not en-
roll their names. If they do not thew
will be depriving themselves of privi-
leges that their town sisters are ex--
erclsing. The law is the law. whether
one is in favor of it or not, and this
law is that all women can vote the
same as men. If you do not like the
result when the election is over and
1alled to enroll by July 25th you will
have yourself to blame. Enroll, EN-
ROLL NOW.

The Women's Opportunity

Chestcr Reporter
A man who lodges jury duty has
no right to kick about the miscar-
riage of justice, and the same is true
of the woman who fails to enroll and
vote. The women of South Carolina
whatever may have been their views
on the suffrage question and however
reluctantly they may take hold of the
ballot that is thrust into their hands
regardless of all of this, they have a
great opportunity to put the right
kind Of officeholders into office. The
woman who fails to enroll and vote is
going to prove great disappointment
in matters political.

End CAROLINA SANDHILLS
PEACH SHOW JULY 25TH

Everything is set in readiness for
the Second Annual Carolinas Sand
hills Peach Show to be held in Ham,
let, N. c., Tuesday, July 25th, which
will be conducted this year on a large
scale with program to interest every
peach grower in the sandhills of the
two Carolinas and exhibits of the best
grades of peaches grown in this Sec
ton. In addition there will be exhibits
OF orchard machinery, implements and
supplies and lectures and demonstra-
ton on the conservation of bypro-
ducts.
1t Is the purpose of the Peach Show
to assist the grower in every way pos
sibie to secure the latest information
on handling his crops and to maintain
the same high grade of orchards which
have been started in the Sandhills. To
this end arrangements have been
made to have exhibited machinery,
implements and materials which are
used in modern orchard development;
also the possibilities of preserving the
products which are ordinarily allowed
to go to waste because of inability to
market all the orchard produces.
tse-tn addition to having the coopera-
tion Of the Department of Agriculture
OF the United States and of the two
Carolinas, the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, Clemson College and the Hamlet
Chamber Of Commerce will this year
have Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, State
Home Demonstration Agent talk on
conservation of byproducts and with a
corps of assistants will give actual
demonstrations of canning and pre-
serving. This should be of interest to
every grower and housewife in the
section.
Because of the fact that there is no
place under roof large enough to ac-
commodate the attendance expected it
has been decided to have the show in
a large tent which will be located at
the corner of Mail and Raleigh streets
With this arrangement it will be pos
sible to accommodate a much larger
crowd than was possible last year and
will permit of the exhibits of machin-
cry, tractors, etc., on a lot adjacent
10 the tent. Arrangements will be
made for actual demonstrations of
machinery.
The Peach Show being established
as an annual event it has been decided
to award premims for the best fruit
of each variety exhibited. One can
readily realize the value to the Or
chardist who markets his peaches un-
der the label bearing the statement
that he was awarded the first premium
at the Carolinas Sandhills Peach
Show. 1t is purposed to endeavor in
his manner to raise the standard of
peaches to an even higher grade. Com
petent peach men will be judges.
For the convenience of those who
come by train, who might care to Wis
1t orchards while pick, packing and
shipping operations are under way it
has been arranged to conduct tour
the day following the Peach Show,
July 26th. Any one wishing to make
the trip should notify s. w. Clark,
Chairman Entertainment Committee.
