It has become nationally lcnown that South Carolina vegetables and fruits contain a large element of iodine which is a great preventive.of goitre. This has caused a great demand for canned fruits and vegetables raised in South Carolina throughout the north and west. It was with the idea of advertising South Carolina vegetables and fruits that the name of Iodine Products Stores was given the retail outlets as it is intended to feature in these stores-South Carolina products. _\ Mr. R.

The following tribute to the memory of Mrs. R. T. Goodale is from the pen of Mrs. M. M. Benson, who is the wife of a former pastor of the Camden Baptist church, but> who is now residing at Conway: Our beloved sister in Christ, Mrs. Carrie Goodale, a devoted member of the Camden First Baptist church, a loyal member of the W. M. S. and for a number of years superintendent of the Kershaw Association, departed this life and entered the life beyond, August 10, 1,929. We feel that her life motto was, "Service," putting God first, others1 next, and self last, for she was ever active in the Master's work and ever faithful in her efforts to promote the Christian welfare of all who came under her influence. She was one of the most devoted women I have ever known. I shall always cherish her memory, feeling that L was blessed in knowing her, and shall strive to emulate her loyalty and faithfulness to the Master. I thank God for her life of constant and inspiring helpfulness. What a patient sufferer she was for the past few years, not a murmur nor complaint! But now she is rejoicing in Hie presence and all griefs and pains are banished; for she is face to face with her Redeemer, whom she loved and served. . _ From a North Carolina Paper Mrs. W. M.

McCoy Wag a Loeg to State f Writing in the Hartsville Mesaen K*r last week, Mr. David R. Coker, well known citizen of Hartsville, pay* the following deserved tribute to the memory of Mr. W. L. McCoy, who et at his home at McRee recently: * "I doubt if the people of Cheaterfield and Darlington countiea fully realize the great loss they have sustained in the death of Mr. W. L. McCoy of Mcliec, A great deal of the agricultural progr^s of thiB section >f the state during the past decade has been due to his energy, foresight and sound judgment. We have better roads and a more diversified agriculture due to the life and work of Mr. McCoy and political and social conditions in his own -county have been noticeably influenced for good by his patriotic add disinterested work. A man of outstanding honesty ami energy, ho never spared himself when ''ju working for the good of his community and state, and his life was almost certainly shortened by his constant over-expenditure of energy in public and private affairs from which this section was benefited greatly. "Will McCoy was not a politic man. He had no use for dishonesty or laziness and did not conceal this attitude. Some who received the greatest benefit from, his life and labors did not appi eoiate him and were even unfriendly. The seeds of a better and more . . ^ profitable civilization which he has planted in this section will continue to grow for many years and will contribute more and more_lo the welfare of the people whom he delighted to serve. "Personally I shall greatly miss him, for he was my good frjend. Unless others of equal energy and devotion come forward promptly and take up his great work this county is going to greatly feel his loss financially and socially. "I hope the lessons of this outstanding life will net be lost to the younger generation." Camden Pastor's Sister Dead __I Mrs. Leila Caston-Funderburk, wife t of C. B.?
