BODIESOFSON,
BATTLE-GROUND
BY DRAGGING
M. c. and w. R. Fitzpatrick
of Valley Hill, Locate
These Today
HAVE BEEN UNDER
WATER SINCE SEPT. 6

The bodies of Lafayette Black,
so, and his son, Lafayette, Jr.,
10, both of Anderson county, s.
c., drowned in Lake Summit Sun
day, Sept. 6, were located by two
Henderson county boys, M. c.,
and w. r. Fitzpatrick, sons of D.
H. Fitzpatrick, of Valley Hill.
The bodies were located while
Diver klas Everts, of Norfolk,
Va, working for his fourth day
in deep sea diving equipment, had
taken time off for lunch.
They were located close to the
raft which had been prepared for
! the diver to work from.
The two brothers, using a Crap
ping hook, were combing that
part of the lake bed when the
bodies were located.
Brought to the surface, it was
discovered that the elder Black
still gripped the legs of his sons
body, bringing to light the tragic
evidence of how evidently he had
attempted to hold his son so that
he might keep his head above wa
ter until rescue.
The bodies were found in 35
feet of water. The normal depth
at this point is 55 feet, but sew
eral days ago the surface of the
water had been lowered 20 feet
as an aid to the prolonged search
which followed the boating acct
dent, just 13 days ago.
The third drowning victim was
Thomas Martin, "a, also of An
derson county.
After three o'clock today, the
third body, that of Martin, who
also was drowned in a motor
boating accident at Lake Summit,
two weeks ago Sunday afternoon,
had not been recovered.
Everts was the second deep sea
diver to come here to search for
the bodies. Earlier in the efforts
to recover them, which began i'm
mediately after the drownings,
Charlie Tanner, Charleston diver,
was brought to Lake Summit and
had also worked for three full
days at the scene of the accident.
A raft had been constructed
and placed where it was believed
and bodies had gone down, and
from this both the divers had
worked.
Dynamite charges had been
used in efforts to raise the bod
les. These had failed to be effec-
tive, however.
The darkness of the water at
the bottom of the lake, and ex-
IRENE cold have hampered the
divers in their efforts to locate
the bodies.

LaFarge Writes
Of Church Here
PAYS Tribute to Altar Work
for Catholic Church

In the August 20 issue of

LEGATION, the Rev. John La Fargo,
associate editor, devotes consider

Conception church here, an d
dwells particularly on the church
altar.
Rev. La Fargo was present on
the occasion of the recent dedica-
ton of the church here.
In part, Rev. La Fargo wrote as
follows: "For its setting the mass
needs no grandeur, though it can
make use of splendor when occa-
sion provides. All that the liturgy
of the mass demands is a setting
which concentrates attention up
on the sacred action itself. Such
is the purpose of the various reg
ulations and recommendations
that liturgists promulgate for the
proper construction and decora-
ton of the altar.

DELIVERS ADDRESS AT
HARVARD ON FRIDAY

ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPE-
CIAL, Sept. 10. (UP).-President
Roosevelt last night sped by pri-
vate train to the bedside of his i'll
wife after day at Harvard Uni
versity where he appealed for
tolerance in an era of modern
WITHDRAWING"
Revamping his plans at the last
minute, the chief executive after
a telephone conversation, ordered
the train prepared for Washington
instead of Hyde Park, where orig
inally he had arranged to pend
the next two weeks in the seclu-
sion of the summer white house.
Mrs. Roosevelt is suffering Sc
we're attack of grippe. While her
condition is described as not seri-
Gus it was reported that the presi-
dent was anxious to be with her
until she is able to leave with him
for their Hudson Valley home to
recuperate.
They are expected to leave the
capital Sunday for Hyde Park.
The president went to Cam
bridge Friday forenoon and for
five hours participated in the
300th anniversary celebration of
Harvard, his alma mater. For
three of those hours he sat, most
of the time in a cold, driving rain,
CARRIED like hundreds of other
graduates in the traditional top
hat and frock coat, while a half
dozen speeches were made.
From his place of honor on the
portico of Memorial church he
thrice refused the offer of an UNI
brella and with thousands of
others in the stands on the water
soaked grounds of the building
got a thorough drenching.
His part in the program did not
come until after luncheon when
he spoke in the dingy, oak-paneled
Sanders theatre in the Harvard
yard. There, before him, sat dis
tinguished alumni and group of
leading educators from all parts
of the world.
The president uttered his SEN
fences softly and in keeping with
his academic surroundings, altho
early in the address he caused a
burst of laughter when he re-
ferred to the "sorely troubled
state of mind of Harvard alumni
during the incumbencies of An
drew Jackson and Grover Cleve-
land.
Now" he added, "on the 3OOth
anniversary, l am president.
"In spite of the fears" he as
serted, Harvard and the nation
of which it is a part have marched
steadily to new and successful
achievements. changing their for
nations and their strategy to meet
new conditions; but marching al
ways under the old banner of free
dom.
SIN this day of modern witch
burning" he declared, when free
dom of thought has been exiled
from many lands which were once
its home, it is the part of Harvard
and America to stand for the free
dom of the human mind and to
carry the torch of truth.
"The truth" he said, "is great
and will prevail. For centuries
that grand old saying has been a
rock of support for prosecuted
men.
"But it depends on mems toler-
ance, self-restraint, and devotion
to freedom, not only for them
selves but also for others, whether
the truth will prevail through free
research, free discussion and the
free intercourse of civilized men,
or will prevail only after suppress

In few enterprises IS 'the human
element" so important as in an agri-
cultural cooperative institution.
A chain is no stronger than its
links-and a coop, no matter how
well established or managed, Is no
stronger than its individual mem
bers.
Co-ops whose members are in6if-
ferent, disinterested, OF plain lazy,
and who adopt an attitude of "let
George do it" are foredOOmed to
failure. Co-ops whose members are
energetic, ambitious and eager to
work with and for the organization,
can look forward confidently to ulti-
mate success.
Fortunately, the average American
farmer seems to be a pretty active
sort Of person. He has ideas, and the
energy to put them into effect. And
when he joins a farm cooperative to
better his production and distribu-
ton methods, he willingly shoulders
the responsibility that should be
felt by every member. He does his
part. And the record Of cooperative
progress during recent years shows
how well that part has been done.
The good agricultural cOOperatlves
are going places. Everyone is bene-
fitting from their progress. And the
farmer deserves the credlt.
