Daniel, which occurred at his home in KlngstreO, S. C., last Monday. Dr. Daniel had boen In railing health for some Hmo; in fact, it was due lo Ibis cause that ho was forced to glvo up the presidency of the Methodist Collogo in Columbia. But Dr. Daniel was unwilling to re tire from activo servico in his church and returned to tho ministerial work, ('eoling that ho could continue to serve in that capacity. Rut tho work was too great there alsd. and for a long time past he had been forced, after almost every preaching service, to retire to his bed. often remaining for a day or more at a time. He was an earnest, tireless, zealous worker for tho Master, and it was his desire "to die in harness," which ho did, for he continued his ministerial work to the very last of hts strength. Ho was a great power In tho Mothodlst church in this State, and lils death will be felt ns a heavy loss to tho de nomination and to tho Stute. Dr. Daniel was well known all ovor South Carolina. Ho was a nativo of Lau rens county and was about (5 0 or (>r> years of age. In 1883 (Aug. 29) bo was happily married to .Miss Alice Rowena Aull, of Dyson, ridgefield county, she being a sister of Rev. W. H. Aull, of Walhalla.

The fu neral and interment will take place to-day (Wednesday), but lt was not known hore where tho interment would bo. Tho bereaved ones have the sympathy of many friends in this .ir of sorrow. Dr. Daniel is sur vived by threo brothers-Rev. J. L. Daniel, of Newberry; Rev. J. w. Dan iel, of Sumter, and Lemuel l)u? i cl. of Laurens. Prof. D. W.

In its financial notes, says that, although considerable buying of cotton has lately been reported from the United States, there has been no corresponding activity hero In freights, as is usual at this time of the year, adding: "Heforo the war the chartering of British steamers for whole cargoes of cotton would have proceeded daily at London during September. This year there appears as yet no sign of such business. The d .maud for ton nage to load cotton was one of tho factors to which ship brokers were accustomed to look before tho war for the usual autumn revival In the freight markets." The Times explains that to some extent this absence of chartering is undoubtedly accounted for by tho loading at Gulf ports of m:-.ny Amer ican steamers for Europe with gene ral cargoes.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR ANNO TJ NCE ]Vt E N T . Mr, Edsel B. Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, makes the fol lowing announcement: "We are making another reduction in thc prices of Ford cars and the Ford trucks, effective September 2, 1921. The new prices average $70,00 under former prices, and are the lowest at which Ford cars and trucks have ever been sold. List prices, F. O, B, Detroit, are now as follows: NEW PRICE. OIJD PRICE. Reductio 1. CHASSIS.$305.0?) $343.00 $ 50.00 KUNA KOUT.S25.00 370.00 4?. 00 TOUKINU UAH. 355.00 415.OO ?0.00 TRUCK. 445.00 105.OO 5O.00 COT IMO . 505.'KI ?05.00 100.00 SUDAN . 060.00 7?0.?O 100.00 This is thc third price cut during the past twelve months. On Sept, 22, 1920, the price of the Ford touring car was reduced from $575 to $440; June 7th to $415, and now to $355, making total reductions in this type of $220, or 38 per cent. Thc same proportionate reductions have been made in all other types. One year ago the price of the Ford Sedan was $975; now it lists at $660 with the same equipment. Wc are taking advantage of every known economy in the manufacture of our products in order that wc may give them to the public at thc lowest possible price, and by doing that, wc feel that we arc doing the one big thing that will help this country into more prosperous times. People are interested in prices, and arc buying when prices are right. The production of Ford cars and trucks for August again broke all previous high records with the total reaching $117,696. This is the fourth consecutive month in which our output has gone over the hundred mark, the total for the four months being 463,074, which has gone a long way in making; possible the thc present reductions. June this year, with an output of 117,247, was the previous record month. One noteworthy feature of our sales is the increased demand for Ford trucks and cars for salesmen. This class of commercial business has been gradually increasing the past sixty days and wc interpret it as a very good sign of improvement in general business. No reduction has been made in the price of the Fordson tractor, and none is contemplated. Go over these new prices! Sec how little it costs to become the owner of a Ford car or a Ford truck. Can you really afford to do without one any longer? Let us tell you more about it, and advise you regarding the delivery of the particular type of car in which you you are interested.
