Associate J?stice Hydrick Fu neral in Spartanburg. Spartanburg, Jan. 15.-Associate -Justice D. E. Hydrick of the South Carolina Supreme court, who died last night in Washington, succombed to an attack of bronchial pneumonia, ' following la grippe, which forced the associate justice to stop at the na tional capital, while en route to Spartanburg from "Baltimore to spend the Christmas holidays with his son, Dr. John Lee Hydrick, who is con nected with the Rockefeller founda tion. Although in rather feeble health, Justice Hydrick was supposed to be able to undergo the trip back to his home in Spartanburg. When he reached Washington, however, he was suffering intensely with la .grippe and left the train there, going to the Releigh hotel, where he passed .away last night. Dr. John Lee Hydrick was at his father's bedside for sevei-al days prior to the associate justice's death, and was with his father when the end came. Mrs. J. M. Wallace of this city, a daughter of Justice Hydrick, left Spartanburg last night for her father's bedside, but the end came before her train reached Washington. The remains will arrive in Spartan burg at 1 o'clock tomorrow after noon, accompanied by Di'. Hydrick and Mrs. Wallace. Funeral arrange ments have not yet been completed, but interment will be in Oakwood, Where Mrs. Hydrick, who died some years ago, was buried. Associate Justice IL E. Hydrick was about 60 years of age and was considered one of the most scholarly lawyers and jurists South Carolina .has -produced. He was born in Orange burg, where he has many prominent connection's. He entered Wofford col lege, remaining here as ? student until he completed his junior year, when he entered Vanderbilt univer sity'in 1880. He. graduated at Van derbilt with high honors and return ed to South Carolina. He taught school at Darlington for a time while studying law. He engaged in the practice of law for the first time in -Spartanburg. Soon after his arrival here he formed a partnership with J. W. Carlisle, father of Howard B. Carlisle. After this connection was severed, he formed a partership with Stanyarne Wilson, the firm being ? "known at Hydrick & Wilson. ' '^?ured ; recognitionjaS an attorney of rare attainments and was twice e?ectedvt? the legislature from Spartanburg county. Later he served two terms as state senator, re signing during his seconnd term to serve as judge of the Seventh judi ciary circuit of South Carolina. This post he filled with such conspicuous ability that he was elected to the su preme court bench in 1909. He was married to Miss Rosa Lee of this city, daughter of Maj. John .A. Lee and sister to J. Boice Lee, president of the Bank of Commerce. Mrs. Hydrick died in 1910, soon after Judge Hydrick was elevated to the supreme court bench. Four children were born to Justice and Mrs. Hy drick. Two sons, Dr. John Lee Hy drick, of New York and D. E. Hy drick Jr., of Spartanburg, and two daughters, Mrs. J. M. Wallace of Spartanburg and Miss Ellie Lee Hy drick of Phoenix, Ariz., survive Jus tice Hydrick. Associate Justice Hydrick was a prominent member of Central Meth odist church of this city, and was al io prominent in Masonic circles. Mr. McAdoo Speaks Out. We have long had a suspicion, which is now rapidly growing into a .conviction, about the Hon. Wm, Gibbs McAdoo, former Secretary o? the Treasury, Director-General o:f the Railroads, head of the Federal Farm Loan Board, etc. That convic tion is that he has more common sense, more courage, more construe tive ability, and a better understand ing of the people's needs than any oi the other men who have figured ir President Wilson's administration. . Right now, for example, when Sec retary Houston and the Federal Re serve Board do not know how to dc anything else but play safe and si1 tight on the lid, Mr. McAdoo has spoken out strongly for a more elas tic and constructive attitude on th< part of the 'nation's financial leaders Here is his statement: "I am franl to say that I think the policies thu! far pursued with respect to credits nave been too drastic, but whether OJ not I am right, I am sure that th< situation should now be reviewed ir the light of existing conditions. ? more-liberal policy of credits shoulc be put into effect immediately." Anc with especial regard to agriculture MT. McAdoo says: / "The farmer, by the very naturi of his business, is more exposed ti adverse influences and has less pro "tection against them than any othei class. The bulk of his crop mature! at the same time; and, if forced upon the market all at once or in a short period, he may not realize even the cost of production. To have a chance to make a fair profit he. must have a credit to carry his crop for a reason able time." This is in line with what we said last week. As we then said, the far* mer is exactly in the plight the man ufacturer would be in if a whole year's supply of goods had to be sold in three months and each factory employee marketed his own output. Mr. McAdoo sees that farmers have a different situation from manufac turers, and that this fact calls for different treatment from the govern ment and from financial institutions. Yet, Mr. W. P. G. Harding and other financial leaders are calling on Presi dent-elect Harding while the press dispatches announce: "Farmer relief is understood to have been one of the specific prob lems discussed, with the board "offi cials advising against special gov ernment protection for any particu lar group." The truth is, the farmer doesn't want any "special government pro tection." He only wants a financial system as well adapted to agricultu ral needs as to commercial and indus trial needs. The present system was made to fit them and does not fit the farmer. Hence he finds himself in the plight of jEsop's fox whom the long billed crane invited to dinner and then had the food served at the bot tom of a deep pitcher.-Progressive Farmer. League of Nations Member bership Held by" Forty-nine Countries. New York, Jan. 16.-The league of nations will be one year old to day. Its membership now comprises 49 nations representing, it is esti mated, 1,260,000,000 people, or three fourths of the world's population of 1,605,000,000. Eleven additional states with a total population of 44, 000,000 have formally applied for admission, while it is known that Germany with its 60,000,000 people wants to join as soon as she is given a chance. This leaves about 300,000, 000 of the world's inhabitants com pletely outside the league. The league began its life when the council met for the.first time in Paris . at the summed''of Pr?side?*; Wilson on .January -16,-. 1920, vith 23 metn bers. By'the time the'first meeting of the assembly was held a few months ago, the membership had in creased to 41. Eight have since been added. At the time of its birth the league had no quarters of its own but to day it- is installed in its permanent seat at Geneva where an old hotel has been transformed into the Palace of the Nations. The general secre tariat, under Sir Eric Drummond, has a staff of more than 300. There have been ll meetings of the council of the league and most of the subsidiary or semi-independ ent bodies contemplated by the cov enant have been brought into exist ence. These include the internation al court of justice, the first institu tion of its kind in the world's history; machinery for the registration of in ternational treaties; commissions to deal with disarmament, mandates, economic blockade measures, public health, international statistics and the international labor office. Preparations have been made for bodies to deal with international communication and the suppression of the white slave traffic and the crea tion has begun of permanent ma chinery for the regulation of inter national credits and the economic re habilitation of countries ruined by the war. Friends of the league point to its intercession in the Poland Lithuanian and Swedish-Finnish dis putes, and the latter over the Aland Islands, as among its achievements, although both cases await final settle ment. They also enumerate as stand ing to the league's credit the repa triation of more than 200,000 war prisoners and a campaign against ty phus in Poland. They say it has fur nished a government for the Saar district, formerly German, and that it has helped Danzig to assume its position as a free city under the league's special protection. Bad Cold and Cough Cured by Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Several years ago C. D. Glass, Gardiner, Me., contracted a severe cold and cough. He tried various med icines but instead of getting well he kept adding to it by contracting fresh colds. Nothing he had taken for it was of any permanent benefit until a druggist advised him to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He says "I was completely cured by this remedy and have since always turn ed to it when I had a cold and soon find relief." USING THE SUN AS A STOVE Dovlce Invented by American Scien tist Is Acknowledged Valuable Fuel Saver. Baking bread and roasting meat on the summit of a mountain without fuel ls possible by the use of a device Invented by a scientist of the Smith sonian Institution, Washington, D. 0. The intensity of the sun's rays Is har nessed, the unusual euergy ls capital ized, and food can he cooked beyond the-line of perpeiual sno'.vs. An astronornlci I mirror at the Smithsonian Institution Is capable of receiving and mensurlns the energy of the sun rays, calculating that In summer the solar luminary transmits upon each acre of land energy equiv alent "to 7,500 horse-power. The ^-termed "solar cooker" con sists of a half-cylinder of Iron lined with mirror glass, which catches the rays of the sun and concentrates them upon a metal tube that is the half*, cylinder's axis. The tube contains oil which expands and becomes lighter, by the heat as lt passes through the tube. The latter ls continued to form a loop outside the half-cylinder, thu3 making a sort of endless chain. Passing through the loop, the;;;.?B cools. However, the sun's heat forcing the oil through the portion of the tube Inside the half-cylinder, compels tSei cooled oil to follow it, otherwise there would be a vacuum. So while the sun shines, there Is a continuous circula tion of oil. The "loop" passes through a box which contains an oven. Heat from the oil warms the oven and does the desired cooking. POSITION CALLS FOR ABILITY Englishman Chosen to Administer Af fairs In J. '?alem Has Been' Given a rta rd Ta6k. The office of governor of Jerusalem, once occupied by Pontius Pilate,. Is now held by ' Col. Ronald Storrs, a graduate of Cambridge university and son of the dean of Rochester college, England. His task Is one to test the adminis trative ability of any man. Jerusalem is a city of disunions, where what ever may come of the future, for the moment Zionists and Arabs are passionately divided, and to steer a Just path between them and Induce them to Join him on that path Is thank less work. It Is to that task, however, that he chiefly devotes himself.

John George, executive secretary of the High street M. E. church of Muncie, who Is a Scot, was listening attentively to a story about two fish ermen who had been having good luck fishing from a boat ?n a lake. They wished to remember the spot where they had caught the Ash, but looking shoreward they saw no land mark that would assist them In find ing the spot on another day. "Finally," said the story teller, "one of them had a happy thought and cut a notch In his boat at this spot." The crowd laughed, except George, who appeared puzzled. Finally, he,, too, burst out laughing. . "I was just thinking," he explained, "what a good joke It would have beer] on those fishermen If the next day they were unable to get the same boat I"-Indianapolis News. Incendiary. Bullets. The Incendiary bullets used during the war, mostly fired from machine guns carried by airplanes, were In effect miniature high explosive shells. Those supplied to our armies (mil lions of them were made at the Frank ford arsenal) were of brass, hollowed out to hold a composition of which the principal Ingredient was barium nitrate. To set this off, each bullet had a priming charge of magnesium and red lead. An ordinary rifle bullet, of course, ls solid.
