the opinion, written byR. W. Boyden, I
chief enforcement ofttcer of the food i
ft<Jministration and approved by Pre*,
'dent Hoover, then food adminiatra- <
tor, denounced the bhhop'a war time
peculation in flour ae both illegal and i
^nmorairWr. Boyden, imminent
1 lawyer, was an unofficial rep
resentatlve of the United State, on I
the reparations commission after the
war.
The Boyden opinion was written i
une 6, 1918, in response to a re
quest by Senator Carter Glass, then ,
/nember of the house. June 1, 1919,
Mr. Glass, learning that the bishop ,
had purchased 660 barrels of flour
shortly before the (food administration I
law became effective August 10, J 917, i
aaked Mr. Hoover for an opinion on
the legal and moral" aspects of the ,
transaction. <>
The transaction was brought to the ,
attention of Mr. Glass by a friend,
who exhibited a letter in which the
bishop, seeking to allay gossip
throughout Virginia that he was a
food profiteer, admitted he had purchased
650 barrels of flous' with his
owp money in the name of the Blackst6ne
Female Institute, a Methodist
college at Blackstone, Va., of which
he was president.
The Bishop's contention in the letter
was that he bought the flour to
protect the college against a possible
shortage, but he did not explain what
sudden developments occurred in the
situation making it safe for" him to
sell the flour within a few weeks after!
the purchase.
In the letter the bishop insisted
that, the purchase was made with the I
knowledge of the trustees of Black-f
stone institute under an agreement !
that any loss sustained in the &deai |
would be borne by him and any pro-]
fits occuring would be retained by]
him as reimbursement for advances!
he asserted had been made from his
funds in behalf of the institution. j
Mr. Hoover wrote Senator Glass
that he had referred his letter to Mr.
Boyden. The latter wrote:
The m&n is clearly a hoarder un-1
der the terms of sections six and
seven of the food act, because he held
flour 'in quantity in excess of the
reasonable requirements for use orl
consumption by himself and depend-1
ents for a reasonable time.' Even If I
we assume that he really bought the
flour for the benefit 6f the college, he J
is still a boarder, for he*held enough!
for three years supply for the col- I
lege. j
"He js, by so doing, depriving some I
portion' of, tho-tommunity of its fair
share of a scarce' food product. The
better educated a man <is the more I
clearly he ought to see this moral
principle. I " am unable to persuade
myself th&t a college has any special
claim for consideration.'*
How much the bishop paid for the
flour, how much if anything in profits
he cleared, and the exact dates "of I
the transaction could not be learned. J
Because the purchase was made just J
before the food law became effective, I
that law, which provided a penalty of I
two years in jail and a $5,000 flue for i
hoarders could not be invoked.
Frank Anderson, stenographer for
the 13th Carolina judicial circuit and
for years a well known citizen of
Greenville, died ^Saturday at Oteen#
N. C? in a government hospital.
Making It Plain
- A colored preacher dowa^south was
trying to explain the fury of hell-t5'
his congregation.
.. "You. all is seen molten iron run- .
nin' out from a furnace, ain't you ?"
he asked.
The congregation said it had.
"Well," the preacher continued,
"dey uses dat stuff fo' ice cream in
de place what I'm talkin' 'bout."
To Build New School
The trustees of the Kershaw school
district have closed a deal for the
purchase of two and one-fourth acres
of the J. C. Catoe estate lands, adjoining
the high school grounds on
the north side, which was purchased
at a cost of $1,000. The building,
which j? to stand _ nearly opposite
the residence of W. F. Estrtoge, is to
be of two stories and of brick construction.
It will contain seven clastf.
rooms and an auditorium*, ami will
be steam heated. This building was
made necessary to accommodate tlml '
pupils in the lower grammar grades,
which were considerably increased by
the enlargement of the mill village,
who will now be more comfortably
and conveniently taken care of by
nearer to them. It is hoped to have
the building ready in ample time for
use at.the opening of the school s?sekm
in September.?Kershaw Era.

Stokes Bridge, July 16.?Funeral
servicea for W. M. McKenzie, whose
tragic death occurred lust Tuesday
morning near his home here, were
held on the following Thursday morning
at his residence, where quite the
largest crowd of relatives and friends
seen in yearar assembled to pay their
last respects. > *
The services were conducted by the
Rev. Ci. W. PfkYLS, pastor of the Methodist
church. The interment was in
the church cemetery. The many beautiful
floral tributes attested the high
esteem in which he was held. His
nephews ami nephews-in-law acted
as pallbearers.
He was a son of Wallace W. McKenzie
and Nancy Mixon McKenzie,
who preceded him to the. grave years
ago. His age was 58 years, and he
had never married, but was contemplating
marriage in the early
fall, following a trip to China, which
he had planned to take, had he not
been killed. His nearest relatives
who survive him are two sisters, Mrs.
W. W. Hearon of Americus, Ga., and
Mrs. It. A. King, of Hopewell, Va.
Tie is also survived by an aged uncle,
A. S. McKenzie, of Camden, and several
nieces and nephews in Georgia
and Virginia besides a host of cousins
here and other places.
"Maxey," as he was more famiUdi*
ly known by a host of friends, was of
an old and prominent family, and one
of She wealthiest farmers of this
place. He was widely known and
highly respected, and had seen a good
bit of the world, he having made two
European tours, a few years ago.
His vast collections of views, of different
parts of the old countries, is
very interesting indeed.
His death was a great ^%hock and
very much regretted by his many
friends here and elsewhere.?Bishop vilie
Messenger.
Bullet Removes Appendix
Anderson, July 17.?James Raykerd's
operation for appendicitis is
believed to be unique, for instead of
the scapel of a surgeon the instrument
used to rid J>ames of his appendix
was a 32-calibre pistol bullet.
While the patient's physicians said
the removal of the 49'gno which is n
frequent offender nowadays was not
altogether necessary at this time, it
was just as well tha^ it was done for
Jumes might have had trouble later
on. And then, too, James saved the
price of an operation.
Jtaykerd is a negro of about 20
years of age. He is in a serious condition
at a local hospital as a result
of six perforations in the intestines
from the bullet which with one stroke
