MISS ANNIE A N

Winnsboro, Dec. .27.-The entire
community was shocked to learn Of
the death of Miss Annie Hay Can't,
which occurred at her home yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock. She had
been sick for several weeks but the
seriousness of her condition had not
been realized. She has been teaching
in the public schools Of Clinton I'M
til about Thanksgiving, when she re-
signed to see if a complete rest would
not improve her health. She was the
third daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Long
street CAN'T and was born in WINS
boro, where she has always made her
home. She was graduated at Win
throp college in the class of 1915.
She was a young woman who has al
ways been noted for her many no
BILE traits of character. At Winthrop
she was the president OF the Student
Government association, and very
prominent in the Y. w. c. A. work
in college. She vas a member of St.
Johns Episcopal church and was a
member of the church choir. She has
always taken a most active part in
all church work. Her many lovable
traits and noble Christian character
have endeared her to a host of
friends, whose sympathy goes out to
her family in their deep bereavement.
She is survived by her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Longstreet
CAN'T, and three sisters, Mrs. Ernest
Ferguson Of Richmond, Va, Mrs. j.

A DIVISION Of Opinion.

The Spartanburg. Journal thinks
that the judges of the state, and
particularly the judges of the Su-
preme Court, should immediately up
on his Inauguration, inform Govern
or Mcleod just what they will do to-
wards helping him enforce the laws
of the state, and that the Governor
should see that the judges do their
duty in this respect. The Columbia
State thinks that much ills may
come from the attempt of the Gov
ernor to interfere with the courts,
and that paper advises the Governor
to have nothing to do with the whole
matter.
The Governor, so far as we have
read in the columns of the Press and
Banner, has asked neither Of these
guardians Of the public interest for
advice. There are numbers of me: in
every community who would attempt
to build new homes, or to build an
addition to one side or the other OF
the town, or do some other COM
mendable act, if it were not for the
idIers who always hang around, un-
solicited of course, to give advice
about how the proposed scheme
could be improved upon, and who
find mistakes in every move that is
made. There are a good many news
papers in Georgia which remind us
of these advisers.
We think perhaps the people OF
South Carolina elected Mp. Mcleod
Goyernors-of the state because they

DR.. l.. T. HILL.

When one has reached the hilltop
in the way Of life and starts towards
the setting sun, while the shadows
lengthen behind him, he needs learn,
if he has not already learned, that in
life nothing is worth while except
service. He serves only who helps
the cause Of truth, righteousness,
Justice and humanity, and the three
first are included in the last. Posi-
ton does not satisfy and money does
not enrich, and only in that feeling
that in a feeble way and in spite of
our frailties we may have done
something to make others better, to
help them along the way, or that we
have relieved suffering and brought
hope to the distressed, may we find
satisfaction.
And there is no profession nor
calling which calls for consit-
ent service to others, more exacting
and ceaseless service, more Of the
hardships of human life, more insight
into the dark places in the lives of
others, with a correspondingly great
err opportunity to help, than being a
country doctor. One who takes up
the practice of medicine in a coun-
try town, or in a rural section, if
he be a NAL of human sympathy and
God-fearing life, literally consecrates
his life, and in the end lays it down,
to help others.
Dr.. L. T. Hill was a retiring man.
He was modest and timid even to
the point Of being unduly sensitive.
Those who did not know him well
naay have believed that he was not
cordial, but he was. he was kind,
gentle as a woman, fond Of the So
ciety Of hts friends, loyal to the
right, anxious to serve, sympathetic
towards the poor and the distressed,
ready 10 be used in the cause Of hu-
mainly, and it was fitting that he
should be called, as he often express
ed the hope that he would be, with
the harness Of his. profession on,
ready until the end to answer the

though, that the scheme a be I'M

ture for the movies representing the
acts, doings, contortions, and other
movements of the next man who
gets drunk in Abbeyille. Putting the
picture on the screen at the Wed

get out a good crowd, that is, if the

LEARNING YOUR JOB

At first glance you may think this
has nothing to do with beauty. But
it has, lot. Being as beautiful as
possible is a duty, task, or if you will,
job. Every woman should learn
how to run her house efficiently if she
is a housekeeper. or to take swift ac-
curate dictation if she is a stenograph-
err
It's one of the most important du-
ties, and it's one that she can combine
with other work 1t needn't take her
long-performing this dTty of keeping
herself good looking-it need only be
studied well and done well.
For instance
No one is beautiful without a good
complexion. Now it takes no longer
to eat proper foods than improper
ones, it's all question of knowing
which foods are good for the system
and which will clog it and impede its
working and bring on pimples anG

PASSES FIRST TEST
(Rv Assoeiated Press

PARIS. Dec. 1S.-The ''semi-Diesef
automobile is now an accomplished
fact. One of these oil-burning motors
recently was installed on heavy
touring car chassis weighing two and
one-half tons. The car made the trip
to Bordeaux and back in two days,
Carrying five passengers, much bag
gage, and 60 gallons of reserve fuel.
The motor is designed to burn,
"gas-oil," heavy petroleum product
remaining after the kerosene has been
extracted. 1t costs here II cents a
gallon as compared with Sc cents for
gasoline. The car made about miles
to the gallon and about $50 miles on
gallon of lubricating oil, so that the
cost of operation worked out at two
cents mile.
Experts in charge of the experiment
predict a great future for this type Of
motor. The engine used was found
too small for the weight it had to pull,
but an average speed of 80 miles an
hour was maintained, which was re-
garded as creditable. The "semi-Dies-
ell type of motor, its friends say, not
only costs less for upkeep but is SIM

We got along very nicely until one

he seemed to get further away from

A few weeks ago l was coming
down the street and he ran away.
He came back. but it made me angry
and l wouldn't have anything to do
with him.
Lately l have been receiving some
very mysterious letters and, they
sound very much like his. The let
ters have no signature, but feel al
most sure they are from him, trying
to make up with me.
A few days ago he came to school
and spoke very nicely and went on.
He always seems embarrassed when
/ am around. He used to come there
nearly every week, but after we had
our fuss / did not expect to see him
again. When he came he just got
drink and went back. Do you think
he wants to make up with me?

like to know what to do Do you
think he wrote the letters?

CHAPTER v.

So winter passed at the mine aid
at the brown house under the shoul-
der of Tamalpais. Alix still kept her
bedroom windows open, but the rain
tore in, and Anne protested at the en-
suing stains on the pantry ceiling.
Cherry's wedding, once satisfactory
ly over, was cause Of great satisfac-
tion to her sister and cousin. They
had stepped back duly, to give her
the center Of the stage; they had ad-
mired and congratulated; had helped
her in all hearty generosity. And now
that she was gone they enjoyed their
own lives again and cast over hers the
glamor that novelty and distance nev-
er fail to give. Cherry, married and
keeping house and managing affairs,
was an object Of romantic interest.
The girls surmlsed that Cherry must
be making friends; that everyone must
admire her; that Martin would be
rich some day, without doubt.
Cherry wrote regularly, now and then
assuring them that she was the same
old Cherry. She described her tiny house
