BLAIRS Winnsboro must have been a pop ular place last Saturdlay if every eci ni nta many visitors there LAURA GLENN MILLER If anyone in the world ever richly fulfilled a ministry of suffering that one was Laura Glenn Miller, whose death occurred at her home on Kings ton avenue, Thursday morning, and whose funeral will take place in Shel by, her old home, this morning, the service to be held in the Presbyterian church conducted by her former pas tor, Rev. Mr. McMurray, assisted by her more recent pastor, Rev. Dr. Mc Ilwaine, of Westminister Presbyterian church who will accompany the fun eral party to Shelby this morning. Mrs. Miller before her marriage was Laura Glenn McCants, of Winns boro, S. C., her family of the old aris tocracy of South Carolina, her people eminent in intellectuality as well as refinement and culture, the men, part of the history of the state that made South Carolina supreme in interest in the history of the South. The writer first knew Mrs. Miller when we were girls at Peace Institute, Raleigh. We desked together for two winters. A sweeter, finer, nobler spirit, never lived than Laura Mc Cants. She was a girl of fine mind, highest refinement, sweet true and noble. Every one in the school which was the leading school in the south. drawing patronage from ocean to ocean, the student body as fine a set of girls as could be found in the coun try, loved Laura McCants. She was the finest of the fine; the truest of the true; purest and noblest in type in the student body. She was beloved by teachers and students. While there, she had the first at tack of rheumatism, a very severe one, which came near proving fatal. I But her mission was not so soon to be over. This disease was to come : back in her young married life and I take possession of her body as the , crucial test, through frightful phy- i sical suffering which she endured un- i til feeling became deadened to pain. < As she said once, "I have suffered beyond the power to suffer." For 30 years she had been confined t to her--rolling chair in a recumbent position. The chair, with its burden of suffering, became a shrine to Shel- t by. Everyone went to Mrs. Miller in I their joys, or in their sorrows, and found her an interested listener in ' one, and a sweet sympathetic helper ' in the other. In the summer her chair was rolled out in he yard and every morning and afternoon friends gathered a round her chair. Possessed of a beautiful mind, the e people sat at her feet and learned of i her. She was a benediction to the t, town, and when she left to come to e Charlotte, where one of her daughters u was living, Shelby felt as if its best v friend, its counselor had left. Through .her affliction of ill health u he exerted an influence that will live I on as a monument to her precious t nc.nory.-Charlotte Observer. e TOWN PROMOTION Growth, advance in population pros" s erity and civic advantages, is the ream of every community. The im portance of a town is gauged by the; utsidle world by its figures of popula tion. Every progressive man is an -r ious to see his town grow greater, confident that at tlie same time It must grow be:ter. Where so many towns are comnpet ing for the same end, many of these hopes must be dlisappointed If some places gain, others will remain sta tionary or losa. If a comriunity re muins indifferent to 'ts own advance ment, the chances are that it will re main stationary, while its ycung and enterprising me'n go elsewhere. The problem of what practical things can be (lone to make a town -id vance' in population andl prosperity is one'vitally important to our own community. .How shall we get our share of the splendid advance that has been accomplished by so many places, which has multiplied the value of all property and of every solvent busi ness, andl secured public improve ments and comforts of living not oth erwise to be had ? This question vwas put recently by a representative of this paper, to the secretary of a hustling Board of Trade in one of the most progressive cities in the Un;ited States. The goestioner expected to have the secretary reel off a long story of organization andl machinery, by which new indlustries were secured, capital subscribed, andl factories built. Instead he was surprised to heai the Board of Trade man reply, that it often seemed to him that the get-1 ing of new industries and increases in population were a matter of luck1 or chance. "You can send your ap peals in a thousand directions", he saidl, "and get nothing. Then in some unexpected way the news of your ad-] vantages makes ani impression on the thousand and first man, in the quart er where you least expected it, and1 you land something big." This Board of Trade man did not mean that a commumity can lie back and go ahead without effort. On the contrary, only consistent and incesw ant effort can make a town gtror. cffort ought not to be burdensom on any one man, but it must be per cient. as Blairs did. Among the number were: Mr. W. H. Long and sons, Mr. Ray Blair, Mr. J. D. Blair and family, Miss Frances Blair, Mr. H. Crawford and Mr. W. S. Blair and family. Miss Clyde and Edith Colemau spent last week-end with Mrs. A. F. Blair. Mr. A. Y. Jones, Mr. Hugh and Watt Henderson all motored through portions of Newberry, 'Laurens and Union in search of a particular at tractive place 'or a saw mill. Mrs. T. 0. Blair has returned from a visit to Columbia. Mrs. S. E. Blair is at home again after a visit to- Whitmire. Mr. Ray Blair had Mr. Sam Poole with him for the night as he was on his way to Columbia. Rev. and and Mrs. Gunn spent a night with Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Fra zier, Sr., while down last Sunday to fill his appointment at Salem. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Owens spent Monday in Winnsboro. Mrs. L. M. Blair is on the sick list. Miss Lucy Clauson is also somewhat indisposed. The work on the new school house is surely going on fast. New men join in the work every few days. When finished it will be as nice as any in the county. The Blair circle of the Salem Aux I iliary met at Mrs. L. S. Hendersons last Thursday and had the best meet ing held this fall. Mr. W. H. Long's Dairy beats the boll weevil all hollow-if you don't believe it-try it. FOURTH GRADE WIT What is the most important indus try? "Bread and water." What is dairying? "Dairying is where people have over one hundred cows." What is the largest desert? "It is something about Sarah, but I can't remember what." Where do we find the richest farm. ing lands? "In the country". Another answer. "Where the rich est soil is." What is meant by industry? "It is anybody that is smart and likes to work." (Taken from a test paper). How do people in hot countries live? * "They live in tents because they don't wear much clothes." - How are soils formed ? "All kinds of ways." - How are valleys formed ? "Take some water 'in a cup and pour. it in the ground and it will cut to a valley." Frequent SHeadaches "I suffered with chronic constipation that would bring on very severe headaches," says Mrs. Stephen H. Kincer, of R. F. ID. 1, Cripple Creek, Va. "I tried different medicines and did not get relief. The head aches became very frequent. I hzard of vThedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT and took it for a headache, and the rel was very quick, and it was so long before I had another headache. Now I just keep tile Black-Draugt and don' letmysef ge inthat condition." -Thedlord's Black- Draught (purely. egetablek. has been found to, relieve constipation, and by stimulating the action of the liver, when itis torpid, helps to drive many poisons out of your system.

The principal work ,hat the Fairfield chapter is doing is -mploying a secretary for a few hours a week to give her time to aid ng the soidiers and the families in ovorking up their claims for a com-, 3ensation and back allotments. The ecretary is now working on 21 cases, which she hopes will soon be settled atisfactorily by the government. 13 :ases have been settled by the secre bary in less than a year. In an unfrequent part of the county, a, colored womaan watched her hus band slowly die from tuberculosis, brought on by exposure .during the war. Malnutrition was speeding him toward the grave, aiding the ravages )f tuberculosis. Ignorant of the impending tragedy, three young children and a baby had nly a few potatoes between them and tarvation. The husband could do iothing save lie on a ragged blanket ill day and watch the sunbeams play through the cracks in his cabin. It never occurred to the ex-service man to ask his government for as istance. His country had called him n time of need and he had -gone. omrades had given their all in the renches and on the sea. He was making the final sacrifice at home. [n.the end it was all the same. A bit iard on his wife and the kids. But ,vomen and children always had the orst of it in war. But news travels, even in the thinly opulated country. The tale of the amily's plight came eventually to a Red Cross worker in Winnsboro near y a score of miles away. The man vas sent to the Government Hospital n Greenville and the local Red Cross s taking care of the family until ompensation can be secured from the overnment. There are thousands of cases of his in this broad country of ours. When the solicitors come to you to sk you to renew your subscription to he Red Cross think of these things efore refusing. JOIN THE RED CROSS NOW. 'HE RED CROSS IS BACKED BY 'HE STATE, AMERICAN LEGION LND NATIONAL LEGION. TOWN BOOSTING Thousands of cities and towns are ompeting to secure new manufactur ig enterprises. Much money put in new industries as the result of such rforts, has been lost. Such failures sually resulted from insufficient in estigation. A commitee of business wen would make a hurried trip to look p the proposed enterprise. They rould not go to the bottom of the king. After the concern got start d, it would often be found that it ras not as represented, or the hopes f the promoters would prove illu ory. Nevertheless many towns suc eed in developing their own indus It is perfectly possible to do it here n Winnsboro. Some of the more opeful chances are along the lines amed below: 1. Successful corporations are cor tantly enlarging their business by tarting new branches in other towns here they can finid workers. Such oncerns do not commonly go begging 'or stock subscription. They very 'requently insist that they be given chance to rent some suitable build ng, at least until the new enterprise ets on its feet. There is not usually nuch risk in assisting a propositiou >f this kind. A progressive town should be wili ng, in proportion to its size anil ealth, to build and rent a factory or a hopeful proposition. The coun ry's manufacturing facilities are tax d. A good factory building adapted o more- than one purpose is not apt o stand idle. 2. In most any town having good nnufacfuring enterprises there are ;ome which could enlarge if they had nore capital. Business men shou'd watch the progress of such concerns. 'hey should not be allowed to go else shere, or to lose a chance for develop nent, because of alack of partne :s rilling to take an interest in their mtrprise.
