Quincy Adams CheadIe


Quincy Adams Cheadle, youngest
son of Asa Cheadle, a Revolutionary
soldier, and Sarah Devin Cheadle
was born Feb. %, 1928. His ex-
treme age as mans days are num-
! bered, is betrayed by the fact that
his birth occurred within so years Of
I the Revolutionary war, at the time
when John Quincy Adams was leav-
ing the presidency and taking up his
! long and distinguished career as
/ United States senator from Massa-
/ chusetts AS boy he heard among
+. the hills where we now walk with
safety the howl of the wolf and the
scream of the panther, AS youth
he saw the bear tracks disappear
from the margin of the streams; the
deer no longer haunted their ac-
customed watering places, but fled
before the increasing menace of tn"
hunters rife. AS a young man be
saw the keel boat which at that time
carried the products of the new
farms to New Orleans, replaced by
the steam boats.
His formal schooling was limited,
but he remained an inyeterate. read
er till his eyesieht failed.
At the age OF % he wooed and
welded Elizabeth Camp, who after
having demonstrated her devotion
and ability as housewife, mother,
and companion. for 50 years, pre-
ceded him to the great unknown. To
this union two children had been
born when the nation was rocked by
civil war Exempt from draft by
age, and family which numbered
three, in 1864, he was torn between
love Of country and duty TO family.
Finally, true to the anti-slavery ira
ditions of his race and the ideals OF
his New England ancestry, he en-
listed in the army OF the republic
and served through the remainder
of the war
Having been honorably discharged
there followed busy years filled yxxh
the effort to support the growing
family and pay for the farm on
which he was born. And withal it
was joyous burden &ladIy borne IN
the full strength of manhood. OF
eleven children, two, Adai and Will
lie, died in infancy. Two, Orpha
Cheadle Scott and Sadie Cheadle
Ransbottom, departed from this life
at about 40 years of age. To honor
the memory OF the deceased, there

When You Catch Cold
Rub on Musterole

Musterole is easy to apply and it gets
in its good work right away. Often it
prevents a cold from turning into "fiu"
or pneumonia. Just apply Musterole
with the fingers. 1t does all the good
work of grandmother's mustard plaster
without the blister.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made of oil of mustard and other home
simples. 1t is recommended by many
doctorsand nurses. Try Musterole for
sore throat, cold on the chest, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, pleIlrisy, stiff neck, bron-
chltis, asthma, neuralgia, congestion,
pains and aches of the back and joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains,
frosted feet colds of all sorts.
To Mothers: Musterole is also
made in milder form for
babies and small children.
Ask for Children's Musterole.

GREAT FUTURE

Atlanta Capitalist Predicts Unus'

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 19.-Coupl.
ed with Georgia's industrial and
commercial program, the big cotton
crop this year gives assurance that
the state will move forward more
than ever in every material way, ac-
cording to Hon. C. w. Mcclure, At
lanta capitalist and the head of a
string of ten-cent stores over the
state.
Mr.. Mcclure, who is a close stu
dent of business conditions, said to-
day that there was every reason to
believe that not only Georgia, but
the entire South, would this winter
show unusual development. Mr..
Mcclure has real estate holdings
both in Georgia and Florida and he
says that Florida's growth means
Georgia's advancement also as Flor
ida has so well advertised the South
as whole that every state will be
benefited.
There is evidence on every hand
that the South is advancing rapidly,
if not actually booming" said Mr..
Mcclure. at begins to look like the

TYPHOID LESS
FOR this YEAR
Only Two Cases Reported for
Months of September and Oc-
tober; Seven Last Year

There have been only two cases
of typhoid in Sumter County during
September and October, this as the
result of the campaign of the health
Department.
DR.. j. W. Chambliss, in charge
of the Sumter County Health De-
partment, in a statement to the
TimesRecorder said, "as a result of
the department going into the rural
districts vaccinating and administer
ing the toxin and anti-toxin serum,
the number of cases of typhoid has
been reduced from Z in 1924 to
in 1925, this for the month of Sep
TENDER and October"
"Of the two cases reported, one is
negro, living fourteen miles from
Americas, the other white girl liv-
ing ten miles from Americas. Both
these cases occurred off the high
way"
Asked about the vaccination of the
exposed, DR.. Chambliss replied that
there were thirty-two exposed in the
negro case, and all were vaccinated.
The case of the white girl was that
those exposed refused to be vac
cinated.
When questioned concerning the
general health of Sumter county the
health officer replied. "The gen.
eral health of the county is very
good. We have four neighboring
towns whose population is from one
fifth to one tenth less than that of
Americas, who have not taken adj
vantage of toxin and anti-toxin Sc
rum treatment. AS a result of this
these towns have five times as many
cases of diptheria as has Americas. "

Prayed For, Arkansas Asks
For Dry Weather

KENSETT, Ark, October 10
Prayers for dry weather were said
in local churches Sunday morning.
A few weeks ago, people in this
region prayed for rain. After
weeks of steady rain, the streams
overlooked into the lowlands, cot
ton picking was suspended because
of muddy fileds, and hundreds of
acres of cotton were under water.
This morning the prayers were re-
versed.
This afternoon was bright, clear
and dry, with prospects that further
dry weather would cause the floods
to recede and enable the cotton pick
ers to get back to work.
Cotton planters say they could
stand any amount of dry weather
although Kensett would like to
have a white Christmas.
