C. AMBRTCAN9 SHOPLP PROPUCB THEIR OWW RUBBER NEW LAW (ioverning Administration of Estates of $500.00 or Less The following is a copy of a law passed by the last session of the Leg islature, governing the. administration ? >f estates of five hundred dollars or less. This law, as will be seen, re quires probate judges to administer - ti small estates: Section 1. Be it enacted^by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of South '"arolina: When any person within this state shall die wvtostate, leaving .'.n estate in personal property, money ir chooses in action of the value of five hundred ($500.00) dollars, or less, it shall be the duty of the pro bate judge to receive such estate and pay out same to the distributee or distributees of said estate without the requirement of an administration, and without reporting the same to the tax commission of this state. Pro vided, that if any legal representa tive shall be under age, payment to the parent or other person with whom such child is a bona fide resident 'this to be established to the satis faction of the probate judge before ;ie pays out 'such share) shall be a sufficient compliance with the pro visions of this act.

Section 4. All acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. Section 5. This act to take effect upon its approval by the governor. The World Needs Them The "workbench" philosophers say that all the members of a community those who retire early in life arc the very men who should continue work for the longest periods. That a ma i can-accumulate a fortune sufficient to keep him in idleness after the a#c of 50, or even sooner, is evidence that he is highly productive. His particular talent is rare. Ho is, let us say, the type of man who can promote, organize and op erate a large factory. When such a man quits work .20 years ahead of time, the community loses not only his labor, but suffers in the reduced efficiency of perhaps a thousand oth ers who might be dependent on this one man for directing genius.

A BIT OF HISTORY Where "Th*' Man Without h Country1 Originated Fort Adams, in Wilkinson county, Mississippi,, deserves a place amouy; the historic forts of the United States because it gave to us the greatest story on patriotism over written?Kdward Everett Hale's "The Man Without a Country." It was from a letter written by (Ion. James Wilkinson, commander-in-chief of the American army in the early days of the republic at Fort Adams, that Hale got the name Philip Nojun for the hero , of his story and many of the scenes in the book are laid in and about Fort Adams. Although Hale's story is purely fic tion. there was a real "l'hilip Nolan who ? was in fact a "man without \ country." but not, as Hale wrote it, becaUse he cursed the name of his native Jand. This real Philip "Nolan was an Irish political refugee who had not been in his adopted country long before he was joining Aaron Burr in a conspiracy against it and eventually was killed by the Spanish governor of Texas. ? . The site of* Fort Ad ante has lung been' a historic .one. The first white man to visit it was Father Davion, a Frenchman, who erected a cross there and called it Roche*. a Davion. It was later called Loftus Heights, after a British major who, with 100 men, was ambushed there by the Tunica Indians in 1704. During President John Adams' ad ministration the government bought the site from Francis Jones, who held it under a Spanish grant, and built there Fort Adams, named in honor of the president. There Lieut. Meriweather Lewis was stationed for while before going to the capital to become President Jufferson's sec retary and from there Governor Clai borne and General Wilkinson started for New. Orleans for the formal cere mony of receiving the Louisiana pur chase. In its early years Fort Adams was one of the most important military posts in 'the Middle West. It was at this fort that General Wilkinson ne gotiated with the Indians for open ng a road from the fort through Natchez to Nashville and 'that part <of the road between Natchez and Nashville became the famous ''Natchez Trace." There is a good sjory told about one of General Wilkinson's subordi nates at the fort. The general had lost his queue and ordered all of his officers to have theirs cut off. Maj. /Richard Butler not only refused, but told Doctor Carmichael, the post urgeon, that in case of his death e wished to have a ho'le bored in his coffin and his queue pulled ough it so that the general would know that he defied him even in DEATH OF GOOD WOMAN. Cora S. Boykin Was Wife of I'astor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Cora S. Boykin, wife of Rev. Jeff AV. Boykin, for many years?in fact second pastor of Mount Moriah (col ored) Baptist Church of Camden, died Sunday night after a short illness from influenza. This announcement came as a shock to her many friends of both races, as she was held in high esteem. Cora Boykin was a native of Rich mond, Virginia, where she was born and reared and was a graduate of the Richmond high and normal school and after graduation was a teacher in the Richmond public schools. S?he came to Camden as the wife of Rev. Boykin and was a teacher in the Jackson graded schools for a number of years. She was and has been the president of the women's State convention for eighteen years. 'She was the dean of women in the State college for the past five years, and had always been interested in all civic and public movements for the betterment of thi* city and state in which she lived. Rev. Boykin succeeded his father, the late Monroe Boykin, who organ j ized the church, and during his pas torate he and his wife had been a power for good in this city and section and there arc many, not only in this city, but throughout the state who sympathize with him in his bereave ment. The funeral services were held at Mount Moriah church yesterday, at tended by a large number of friends, relatives and sympathizers.
