A TRIBUTE TO MRS. CLARA
GLENN
Our entire community was sadden
ed Saturday night, December 16th,
when the message went out that the
Death Angel had visited us and had
taken away with him one of our choic
est and best beloved women, Mrs.,.
Clara Glenn, widow of the late D. L.
Gleen, Sr.
Mrs. Glenn was born September
30th, 1854, the daughter of William
Yarborough and Elizabeth James
Yarborough. She was married Nov
ember 15th, 1871, to I). L. Glenn, Sr.,
who preceeded her to the grave less
than a year ago, they having lived
happily together for a little more than
fifty years.
The fundral services were conduct
ed at the home by her pastor, Rev.
J. P. Isenhower, and interment made
in the nearby family burying ground,
beside her husbas: and a little daugh
ter, who (lied in infancy. She is sur
vived by the following children:
Messrs. W. T. Glenn, of the Jenkins
vills neighborhood, and J. M. Glenn,
Henry Glenn and Gladney Glenn and
Mrs. J. C. McMeekin, Mrs. Vivian Jet
,er and Miss Kitty Glenn and also
one step-son, D. L. Glenn, all of Wal
laceville. Three brothers, Rev. J. H.
Yarborough, of Chester, and Messrs
W. B. Yarborough, Sr., and B. H.
Yarborough, and one sister, Mrs. Kate
McDowell, all of Jenkinsville, also
survive.
In the services, Mr. Isenhower
made the remark that a Christian
life never dies. Then indeed, will her
influence live through out the etern
al ages to bless mankind. She was
ever gentle, loving and kind. Not
one, either white or black, ever went
ther for help or sympathy andl came
away without feeling the spirit of
true devoted Christian love, whicn
ruled her heart and life. Since earlg
womanhood she had been a consistent
member of the Baptist church. In
her death her church has lost one of
its most loyal steadfast members,
our community one of its best and
sweetest women, and her friends and
relatives one whose place can never
be filled, andl one whose memory wvill
always be as sweet smelling incense,
to purify and -gladden the hearts of
each one who knew and loved her.

STATE PRODUCES FINE BIRDS
High Praise Given by Expert on Qual
ity of Poultry at Chester
field Fair.
Clemson College.-That South Caro
lina poultrymen are, making rapid
strides in breeding high-quality poultry
has been well illustrated at the various
poultry shows and fairs this year, and
one of the best of these illustrations
was the Rhode Island Red show by the
recent Chesterfield fair. The poultry
show was judged by W. H. Cord, of
Manchester, Conn., a noted authority
who praised the show very highly.
Here is what Judge Cord said about
the Reds:
"This show ranks with Boston and
with New York. It is better than Syra
cuse, and I doubt if there is another
county in the United States that has
as many Reds as fine in color, shape
and size."
"Everybody is anxious at the present
time to know where to buy breeding
stock, hatching eggs and baby chicks,"
says N. R. Mehrhof, extension poultry,
husbandman, in commenting on Judge
Cord's statement. "The beginners and
the experienced poultry-raisers are
making plans for the coming year, and
each one who hopes to be successful
should buy only from reliable breeders,
for to be successful we must start
right."
"But it is not necessary for South
Carolinians to go out of the state for
good poultry stock, as is proved by
Judge Cord's testimany about our Reds
-The same is true of other breds. We
have good stock in many counties. The
extension service is in position to put
all who desire foundation stock, eggs
or chicks in touch with our, own breed
ers."
Calcium Arsenate Purchased by Bank.
Newberry.-The Exchange bank has
bought a carload, 20 tons, of calcium
arsenate and will hage it shipped to
Newberry and pdt- 14 warehouse. for
the use of farmers on next year's cot
ton crop in fighting the boll weevil.
The bank does this not to make mon
ey, for it does not intend to make a
ent by It; but it believes the calcium
arsenate is going to be scarce and
high next year and Is getting this much
in hand for the use of the farmers.
Numbers of farmers in the county
have said that they would have made
much larger crops this year but for
the fact that they run out of calcium
arsenate. at the last time or two it
should have been applied and were not
able to get more.
Wanting Tax Reform.
Greenville.-Plans for a conference
of business men from all parts of the
state and representing all lines of in
dustry and commerce, to be held here
at an early date for discussion of ways
and means of effecting a revision of
the taxation program of the state,
were 'launched by the board of direc
tors of the Greenville Chamber of Com
merce. A commission was appointed
to take charge of the movements. It is
planned to hold the conference some
time this month In order that a defi
nite program for tax reform may . be
worked out and put under way before
or during the forthcoming session of
the South Carolina general assembly.
Automobile Men Headed by Gibbes.

lowing officers to serve for the ensu

priate subjects were made before the
gathering, which held only one ses
sion.
Potato Market Badly Depressed.
Florence.-B. S. Meeks, of the At'
lantic Coast Line Railroad company,
and T. B. Young, president and general
manager of the South Car'olina Sweet
potato association, and Mrs. T. B.
Young, have returned to Florence af
ter a ten days' visit In the markets
of New York.
They report hqving found the sweet
potato market in perhaps the poorest'
condition that it has been for a num
ber of years. They found a great
quantity of surplus sweet potatoes.
particularly on the New York market,
where they were being freely offered
at 50 cents a bushel hamper, .with no
sales resulting. They say one dealer
showed them a large lot of sweet pota
toes in bushel packages, for which he
was trying to get 50 cents. These po
tatoes were of very good quality and
well graded. They found the eastern
shore of Virginia sweet potatoes on
the markets being sold as low as
$1.25 per barrel delivered in New York
city.
Mother and Son Receive Sentence.
Greenville.-Mother and son stood
together before the bar of justice in
the county court house when Mrs. S.
E. Hartin and Lee Roy Hartin were
sentenced by Judge F. M. Ansel to
serve sentences of a year each without
the alternative of a fine for violation
of the prohibition law.
The son was corvicted in one case
and ricnaded guilty in another. The
-other pleaded guilty in two eases
nd 'was sentsil to serve fomx
moths and eight months In the pci

THE CHILD OF BETHLEHEM.
(By Kate P. Flenniken, Winnsboro.)
The world for Thee no place or we)
;come had prepared,
Thy lowly manger bed the wondering
cattle shared,
Yet, Heaven's celestial choir an
nounced Thy humble birth,
And angels ushered in the reign of
"Peace on earth."
The wise men came, forewarned, the
promised Christ to see,
Led by the guiding star, they found1
and worshipped Thee
Unknown, unsought, forgot, mid pov
erty obscure,
Thy unobtrusive youth to manhool
grew mature.
None saw in Thee, despised, the long
expected King,
No royal robe, no crown, no sceptre,
didst Thou bring;
The hungry multitudes Thy wondrous
bounty fed,
And yet earth had for Thee no place
to lay Thy head;
Thy healing fingers touched the dim
and sightless eye,
Thy ear, responsive, heard the trem
bling sinner's cry,
And when the toiling crew, in sink
ing, called to Thee,
Thy voice rebuked the winds, and
stilled the raging sea.
Forsaken by Thy friends, by treacb
'rous foes betrayed,
In robes of mockery Thy bleeding
form arrayed;
Fainting beneath Thy cross, the wild
mob jeering Thee,
From Pilate's judgment hall, led out
to Calvary.
Oh, heartless world!. The time is
surely drawing near
When thy rejected King triumphant
shall appear;
Then clothed with clouds He'll come,
and every eye shall see,
And every tongue confess' His glor
ious majesty.
