Olivia Larr Pooaer, Orangeburg's oldest niuen, almost one hundred years of age and the last of the "Confederate Mothers" in South Carolina. died early thi* morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sallie VVunnamaker. on East Russell street. Mrs. Posse:', the daughter of the Rev, John I.arr, a local Methodist preacher, was born on October 18, 1828, in ;i little log house near whut is new the town of Jamiceon At the age of four she moved into a new home on the same plantation and this house still stands near Jamieson, on highway number two. She attended a school in the community and at the age of nine often ran awuy from school with other pupils to watch the building of the old South Carolina railroad, which was, in 1K38, the longest railroad .ir" the world. letter she attended a school in the village of Orangeburg and in 1S44, when but sixteen years of age m;irried William E. Pooser, of Orangeburg county. In 1845 Frank Pooser, the oldest son was born, and seventeen years later he entered the Confederate service as a private in Company B, 20th S. C. volunteer infantry and served until the end of the war. In 1864, the second eon Langdon Pooser, with his father entered Frederick's company of "old men and boys," so that Mrs, Pooser has held the unique record of wife and mother of three Confederate soldiers. Husband and sons have long since joined their comrades among the dead. Besides the two sons mentioned above, the children listed below grew up, married and raised large families, but one only, Mrs. Wannamaker, has survived the mother: Anseneth, wife of John Rast; Mary, wife of J. T. Bell; Caroline, wife of Jacob Summers and William. Many grandchildren , and great-grandchildren have gathered about her knees and there are now at least one hundred living descendants. h or more than eighty years Mrs. Pooser has been a member of Prospect Methodist church, of Jamieson, though her home has been at times in Orangeburg, in Cameron and in Orange township. Two years ago at a "home-coming" at" Prospect church she was presented and made a little talk. There the funeral will be held Sunday at 8:30 o'clock. In 1015 Mrs. Pooser was elected an honorary member of Paul McMichael chapter, U. I). C., being even then the last "Mother of the Confederacy" in the county. In 1919 her record was sent by Miss Marion Salley to Mr*. A. McD. W ilson, of Atlanta, who presented, her with a gold "Bar of Honor" from the Southern Confederate Me morial associations. At the request of Mrs. Wilson the local U. I). C. chapter arranged a public presentation ceremony at the home of Mrs. Wannamaker and the honoree was very much pleased. In 19-J and 1924 Mrs. Pooser was an honor guest of the state reunion of Confederate veterans and in 1925 a chapter at Cameron was. organize! and named for her. In 192lf> she voted in the Democratic primary, being the oldest woman voter in the county. On her ninety-eighth and ninety-ninth birthdays she was honored by receptions given by the Olivia Pooser U. D. C. chapter, who invited members of I aul McMichael chapter to be preent. Gifts were sent her from the state division, from two chapters an.! greetings from throughout South Carolina. Her last public appearance was at a dinner given for camp Thorn as J. Clover, U. D. C., in October. 1927. For some years Mrs. Pooser has received a pension from the state of a widow of a ( onfedorate soldier and at their last convention the South Carolina division. U. D. C., granted ] her a special U. D. C. allowance honoring her as no other has eve> been honored.' The checks have been , ^ delivered in person by the president of the state division. , >t Mrs. Pooser has been a contempar'ary of every president of the United ' States except the first three. She has seen marvelous changes and de, velopments in science, agriculture and commerce, but up to the very last she , kept abreast with the times and read the daily papers. She lived simply, traveled little but was remarkably bright mentally.

According to that report $226,000,000 was spent during 1027 in national advertising alone, And of this amount a large part was expended mostly profitably by the manufacturers of automobiles and foodstuffs. "When the record of the amounts spent for local advertising is added to the national account it would be seen that advertising ranks as one of the great industries of the country. ' It has had a wonderful growth because its value has been learned by the most astute buBineu* men. Few investments net Urgerfl and more certain results than &d. vertising.
