Improving the Street*
Mayor Hamer has purchased a .
tractor for the town and under the direction
of Chief McRae the streets
are being put in first class condition.
The soil is being turned up with a
plow, mixing the sand and clay, and ,
then the street is shaped up with a <
scraper. To get the best results a 1
harrow should be used to pulverize '
the dirt and after the street has been ]
leveled it should be pac'. ?-d down with ]
a roller. Mayor Hatner has arrang- i
ed for the harrow and is negotiating (
for the purchase eof a roller i
front the government. The gov^,,i
ernment used quite a numuer uih
the rollers when it was building I,
camps and they can be purchased at ]
a greatly reduced price. When the ]
roller arrives the town will have am- i
pie equipment to put its streeets in ?
excellent shape. It has a small drag
which is used for keeping the streets ,
in good condition, and after all the ?
streets have been ploughed, dragged <
and packed the small drag will be ,
kept in constant use. Mayor Hamer ,
says his plans are to put every street ,
in town in excellent condition. j,
The paving of Main street will be- j
gin about March 1st. It will take j
about 90 days to complete the work.

At the meeting last night a rising
/ote of thanks was extended to RT.
Fairey, for his untiring efforts in
srganizing the Latta post. There were
more than 50 men from the Latta territory
belonging to some branch of
the military service during the world
war, and a committee is hard at work
getting these men to join the Latta
post.
Dr. Major, post commnder, has ar-anged

Instead of offering the ex-service
men of the A. E. F. such inducements

little inducement t0 them, it would
be better for them to give each soliier

their lives whiles others stay at
home working for the government to

wages. A. R.

LIVED TO RIPE OLD AfJE.
Mother of Mr. E. A. McCormac Was
Over .Ninety Years Old.
The following sketch of the life of
Mrs. Elizabeth McCormac, who died
at the h onie of her s on, Mr. E. A.
McCormac on the 14th ultimo, is taken
from the Scottish Chief of Maxton
:
"Mrs. Elizabeth C. McCormac who
died at Reedy Creek, Dillon county,
S. C., on January 14th, was born in
Alfordsville township, Robeson

the daughter of Elias Alford and
Charity Hedgpeth, both natives of
Robeson county. The family lived
here until about 1837, and then sojourned
to Marion county, S. C.,
where Mr. Alfrd was an extensive
planter and slave holder. Elizabeth
was a student at Floral college while
in her teens, and from there went to
Edgeworth Female Seminary, then
at Greensboro, N. C. In 1848 she was
married to Mr. A. L. McCormac, a
teacher and civil engineer of Marion
county but who was a native of
North Carolina. The couple settled at
Reedy Creek church and at Mrs. McCormac's
death she had been living
there seventy years. Mr. McCormac
died in 1862, and his wife was left
t0 rear a family of six children. With
the aid of the two older boys, who
kept the farm going, she sent the
younger children to college. Finally
they married and settled in homes
not far away from the old homestead,
all except one son who went to Alabama
to live. Around this interested
grandmother, grew up a host of
granacnuaren, wun an 01 wnum sue
kept in closest touch.
"Mrs. McCormac was a Southerner.
At her life of 90 and one half
years, she always had a warm welcome
for every acqauintance. To her
the visit of a relative or friend was
an event of great importance, and
her friends were legion. Always so
sunshiny and jovial, it was an ini1

spiration to be in her presence, for
she radiated cheer and optimism. Always
so well-read and progressive it
was an education to converse with
her. Her home, her family, her flowers,
her friends, were always close to
her heart but no closer than the welfare
of her country. She was a geniune
mother, but patriot as well, concern
in nation wide affairs was marked
to the last. Even when growing
feeble in body, her mind was unusally
alert and receptive and the greatness
of her character asserted itself in her
brightness of disposition through her
declining years. Gloom and depression
werP unknown to her. Hers was truly
a c instructive and inspirational life,
