She was the udUSlfect
and Tembora Roberts. She was bap-
tised in infancy and in early youth
was confirmed in St. Stephens Lutn-
eran church, Lexington. On March l.
1859, she was married to William Ira
Cook Of the North Edisto section OF
Lexington county. This union was
blessed with two children, Mrs. G.. b.
Wingard of Lexington, and Mrs. f. a.
Smith Of Pelion. en- October ~
1864, during the great strife between
the sections her husband died with
measles in the hospital at Charlotts-
vile, Virginia, and was buried there.
She was left a widow with two little
girls. The untiring faithfulness and
labor with which she struggled to
meet the conditions Of the times will
always excite the admiration of her
descendants. She renamed a widow
until 1872 when she was married to
James E. Dunbar, who died July 81,
1884.
There beng no Lutheran church in
her community. She united with
Florence Baptist church. Later she
moved her membership to Providence
Lutheran church where she remained
faithful until death.
She was a member Of the woman's
society Of this church.
Besides her two daughters she is
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Pris-
ella Cook and Mrs. 7. S. Harman,
both of Lexington.
She had II grand children, having
preceded her 10 the spirit land. She
has 19 great grandchildren.
She was one who was never idle
She was very much interested in the
affairs of every day life, and was al
ways alert to the needs around her.
1t can truly be said of her life, that
it was one of service to her family, hel
community, her church and her God
The funeral and burial services were
held at Providence church, Sunday
D. m, attended by a lage cOncouse
of fiends and relatives. Many beauti-
full floral tributes were received, with
which the grave was literally covered

That business should not profit at

children is a universal belief. That
child labor is expensive to the nation
an offense against decency, undeslreo
by those who put the welfare OF the

But there are worse things than
child labor; things which could wreck
these Tinted States much quicker even
than the exploiting of many little chill
dren.
One of these IS the overthrowing OF
those foundation stones upon which
this nation is built; let there be no
Foundation land the superstructure Will
crumble. Let there be no nation, and
children here will be as are the chill
dren of Russia-starved, helpless
dead by thousands.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has just ruled that the 1917
child labor law was unconstitutional.
Doubtless the exploiters of children
reioiced. But there are many VINO
love children who have not CRITICIZED
the decision. just as there nave oeeh
MANY who are heart and soul for pro-
hibition who believe the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead Act nave
done more harm than good. Admit
tedly, the 1919 child labor law would
have stopped child labor; But II
would also open the doors to the fed

not reserved to and by the states. a
thing expressly forbidden in the fun
damental law of cur land.
Let US, by all means, do away with
child labor. But let US do 1t pE

children suffered tocome unto Him,
not by tamperng with the strength OF
the country where children are most
free, where children have most oppor-
tunity, where Children are best pro-
tected.
Let US thank God for a Supreme
Court which can think of the country
as a whole, even before it thinks OF eX-
plotted children.

A MORNING PRAYER
SENATE DISCREDITS ITSELF BY
 SEATING NEWBERRY

The seating of Senator Newberry, by mar row margin may be regarded by the senator and his friends as vindicaton but it will long be remembered unsavory episode in the history of American politics.
 While it may be true that the primary sys- tenn causes many candidates for public office to spend large sums of money and prevents other and more competent men from running because they lack the means, and while it IS equally true that money will continue to play are conducted according to our present sys- tenn, such gross and fragrant example of "slush fund" as was given in the state of Michi- gan is a reflection on the entire country. There is going to be more or less corruption in poh- tics, but the Senate ought to be kept free from such practices, or else it will continue to lose respect in the eyes of the American people, as it has been doing for some years past
 Newberrys strongest defense, which he did not see fit to make, lay in the fact that the primary law leads to heavy expenditures for campaign purposes and he, being practically unknown, was running against man who had already rrofited by publicity to such an ex- tent that his name was a household word in Michigan and everywhere else in the United States.
 Newberry's defense, regardless of whether he had personal knowledge of what his friends were doing for him in Michigan, proved that he lacks the mental qualifications to sit in the Senate.

MODERN TASTE

By o. W. Firkins, in the January Tale Review.
 Dr. Johnson had blind housekeeper. When the lady poured tea for Dr. Johnson and his guests, she tested the fulness of the cups by the insertion of her finger in the liquid. The eighteenth century could drink this tea; the twentieth century can hardly stomach it even in anecdote. The difference is matter of at tention. Dr. Johnson and his friends ignored the finger. We heed nothing else. Are we right? If to our scorn of the tea we add a scorn of the tea-drinkers, we are certainly wrong The warmth the stimulus, the flavor of the tea were imparted by the contact with the finger, and these are relevant points in tea; the finger, on which obstinately fix our minds, is the irrelevance. Nobody can be rightly despised, nobody can be called guilty, for concentrating his mind upon essentials. What troubles me in this pre-emptory condem- nation is that the warmth, the stimulus, the flavor, of the defiled tea nothing in the eyes, or mouth, of taste. Taste does not weigh these things against the finger in the judicial balance; the moment her eye loht~ on tha' ger, she filings her balances out of the win' w.
 Her conduct is precisely like that of Petru- chic in "The Tanning of the Shrew,' who, hav7s ing found matter for objection in a particular dish, filings the plates right and left in contempt of the remaining viands.

AN ELECTION WILL SETTLE THE DANCE QUESTION

The Junior Chamber of Commerce will give its active support to election on dancing at East Lake. Members of this organization of young and enterprising business men are cir culating petitions for the necessary names and it is a foregone conclusion that this question will be promptly brought to vote.
 The people of Birmingham don't propose to have their personal liberties any further re- strained. There is feeling throughout the city that the blue law agitation and drastic reform have gone far enough. A metropolis of Birmingham's size and importance should not be made ridiculous by contest over whether or not public dancing properly su- pervised in a municipal pavilion at East Lake shall be permitted but certain of the city com missioners have forced the issue and their challenge has been accepted
 In spite of the fact that a referendum of this kind will harken back to Puritan times when young people who danced instead of spending their leisure time in singing psalms, were declared to be headed straight to eter- nal damnatlon, the people or Birmingham want this matter settled. They want to know whether their own wishes going to prevail or the opinions of officials who, but short time in office, have already forgotten that they public servants and amenable to the will of the majority.
 If people with means and social position may dance in clubs, hotels and private homes, it is elemental justice to let those who lack these advantages enjoy healthful recreation at Pershing Pier.

FARMERS PREPARING FOR
 FEDERAL LOANS

Incorporation of the Alabama Cotton Growers Cooperative association marks Ala bama's determination to meet the conditions under which the war finance corporation lends money for financing the marketing of farm products.
 Alabama has been dilatory in this matter, one outstanding reason being the lack of law giving a business character to such or- ganizatons. Such a law was adopted by the last legislature All that now remains to be done for Alabama producers to pool their cot ton in marketing associations, after which this state may participate in federal loans.
 The war finance corporation has loaned nearly S200, 900 ,000 for exports and in aid of agricultural and live stock marketing Texas alone has loans of more than $16,000,000 and our neighboring state, Tennessee, has borrowed more than $5,OOOO0o.
 Alabama farmers who recently made trip to Texas to see for themselves the operation of the farm marketing associations had their eyes opened to the benefits of such enter prises Farmers were saved S10 to $15 per bale by having their cotton handled by the associations.
 The purpose of the Alabama association is to have 1000 bales of cotton pooled. Con- trol of that amount of the staple will compel fair treatment by the largest buyers of the smallest producer, because his few bales are in the same pool with those who produce a hun dred or thousand.

LINING UP THE FARMERS

q am off on a trip to south Alabama to line up the cotton producers behind the Alabama Cooperative Cotton Marketing association said J. S. Schofied president of the Farmers union. "Our plan is to secure the interest and cooperation of big men in the county sites and let them direct the work in the beats of their counties. They are in close touch with their people and know better how to reach them.
 "As soon as the counties are organized in this way, the actual signing up of the contracts with the association will proceed with rapidity. Farm CTS are showing great willingness to pool their cotton with the association and have no doubt that we will soon be doing big business in their name with plenty of financial backing"

WHAT ABOUT THE HUNGRY?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 What do for the hungry unemployed? There is an average of dozen day who find their way to our kitchen door and ask for food, clothing and place to sleep. Some look well nourished strong and healthy, and are fairly we'll clad But the majority look hungry, anx- ious, weary, dirty and thinly clad. They all tell practically the same story: Can't find work, have no money, no food, no extra clothing, not even a change of underwear, and no place to stay. The city hall camp" on Eighteenth street near Third avenue, and "Chow House" of the American Legion emergency station are all crowded and overflowing by those who seek shelter from the cold, and a share of the small amount of food and clothing that is sent in for distribution among them.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE DUNN CONTRACT
tor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There seems to be more or less confusion in the minds of some of the people as to the exact status of the Dunn contract made with Jefferson county through the board of revenue on October IA, 1921. Some people seem to have got the impression that the old board of reve- nue, with Jerry Gwin as chairman, entered into a contract with the Dunn Construction company in April, 1920, and that the present board of revenue is legally and morally bound to carry it out.
 Such, however, is not the case. The old board of revenue never entered into contract with the Dunn Construction company; neither did the old board award a contract to the Dunn Con- struction company nor is there anything in the records of the old board to show that they had any intentions of awarding a contract to the Dunn Construction company.
 I stand for progress and am for good roads, but I hold that the board of revenue has not the moral right to let contract at excessively high prices to any contractor, regardless of whether or not they may have legal right to do such a thing. The court, of course, will pass on the legal aspect of this matter The states, counties and railroad companies are letting con- tracts now for 25 cents per cubic yard for con- mon excavation The contract that the board of revenue let on October 14 to the Dunn Con- struction company calls for common excavation at $1.25 per cubic yard It does not require an engineer to determine the difference between 25 cents and $125.
 I do not believe the taxpayers have been given square deal in this Dunn contract and I feel sure that later developments in regard to this contract will bear me out in my contention.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
ISSUES WILL HAVE BIG VICTORY

"The $25,OO0, ,OOO good roads bond issue will carry by heavy majority in Jefferson county, and the soldiers poll tax exemption will prob ably not have an adverse vote," says Election Commissioner M. E. Morris, who is now gagged in work of the registration board in the county.
 "Ths has been my observation to date where registration is going There is no opposition whatsoever to the soldier poll tax issue and hard ly word of objection to the good roads issue, election for which will take place January 30.
 "We expect to register many voters next week, Monday to Friday, when there will be registration at the courthouse for Birmingham. The next week we will go to Bessemer. I expect the rural registration to be doubled, as many women did not register last year in the outlying sections"
