Cine of the very saddest duties NN ('
haxe had to perform "this year was
dhrbnidinK la i week (h death of
on life long friend, W, F- Jackson#
\\?. aim* s> lioel hoyi togetimr, nroi it
has been our pleasure to know him
intimately and watch him throughout
. jii a-t i-ahy his entire life.
Humbly, born, reared in stniighleni?,|
c reumstaticcs, life for him vut>
the hurdling of one obstacle after an
o her; but with indomitable courage
he fought his way up; and although
he was cut down in his prjme, he had
become one of the most worthwhile
and influential citizens in this city.
For a long span of years Mr. Jackson
was the representative from his
ward in the city council, and as alderman
came and went he won and
retained the warm friendship and respect
of his fellows on the board and
came to be looked upon throughout
the city aa one of the most important
members of Camden's governing
body. Hut Loft was more than an
alderman; he was a neighbor, a
friend, a peacemaker, a councilor.
The people, one and all, in his section
of the city went to him with
their troubles. He never turned a
deal ear to their plea, but his sound
advice and his ever helping hand
played a largo part in preserving
peace and contentment among those
wit a whom he lived and moved and
in keeping want from their doors.
Neat ly, every home about him was at
one lime or another brightened and
glaiULned by his touch, and hundreds
of.di-;reused who went to him -many
time after time?were hot turned away.
* His hand was not felt alone in
his immediate section, hut taiuughout
the city and county people loved, admin
and respected him, and being
unseiiishly patriotic and public-spirited1'
he was connected in some w,r>
with practically every movement
look.: g to the betterment" of conditio!,.
for the past twenty yeais.
In hU passing this city and county
have lost a sterling citizen and the
props- have lost a true, faithful and
hcip.ul friend. Few men in Camden i
emu..; have died and left so much
g< mi ne sorrow behind.
Lc& Jackson's place will be hard
to li.i. 1
Ohio Schneider, a farmer 51 years
<dil. .rushed the head of his mother,
xi yens old and an invalid, with an
axe. cut her throat with a razor and
then .ill his own throat, both dying
at once. He had 'been declared in- j
sar . and committed to the state hos- ,
pita! the day before the tragedy, but
taking him there was delayed too
long The. funeral of both victims
was held yc>terday at the home near

LINGERS IN II1S MEMORY
i irThere
are not many of uh who are
able to do anything ?o well or so remarkable
that it will linger in the
memory of those who witnessed it
| for twonty-flve years or more, hut
j 5hat great ' football coach, .John W
Meisman, who coached the football
Steam of Clemson College around 11)00
| and immediately thereafter, then
j went to Georgia Tech and later to
several of the larger colleges and
universities of the country, and who
is now known as one <>t the leading
grand old inch of football" in an
| article in Liberty Magazine this week
iuya a great tribute, to the playing
of ,1. N. (-Jack) McLaurin. of ltethune,
who was a givtit player on the
(.'le m son football team during the
oisons 1901 190a and iOOfl. cftpUlnng
the team the last year. ( oach
Ku.uiuiii still remembers the briliiant
work and dogged determination of
Jack Melaiurin and writes about it,
out. of all bis multitude of experiences
and observations.
Jack, lifter leaving college, settled
down at fci? old home and has become
a aedrfto, respected and useful citizen
of his community; but his eyes
still lla^sh when football is mentioned.
It took real men in 190G to play football
and play it well, just as it does
today. Jack McLaurin is a real man.
LESSONS IN LIFE OF BEE
, ;?
Did you ever stop to think, whon
you serve yourself a big spoonful of
honey at breakfast, just how much
hard work it represents?
It takes 20,000 bee^/each flying
about two miles on an average, to
gather, one single pound of nectar,
and one pound of nectar makes only
about a quarter-pound of honey. Literally
millions of flowers must be
visited. During the honey season,
bees actually vvrok themselves to
death. Even at night they work,
transferring honey to- storage places
higher up in the hive. They wear
themselves out with work, and die
about I our weeks after they hatch
from lhe brood cells, . where the^'
live for months if they took a little
time to rest.
The>o are some of the observations
made by Herman Rauehfu.^s, whom
the department of agriculture calls
the great American "bee philosopher."
because during a lifetime
spent in raising and studying beys,
lie has worked out a whole philosophy
of farm living from his millions
of insect workers. "The-great lesson
which the fanner can learn from
the honey bee," be , wrote in '1 he
t ountry Home national farm magazine,
"is co-operation'. W hen you
.:i!k about co-operating, too many
farmers think immediately, 'What
van 1 get <>ut of it?' They don't
'knew what the word means. They
ought to study a colony of bees.
| \\ nat do you think would happen if
every been in a hive worked just for
'. - -If? The whole colony wolild
perLh. They live and prosper , because
nature has taught every one to
work for the general welfare.
"If men would' just live together
like bees, the world wouldn't be in
the fix it's* in today. Man's greatest
enemy is his own selfishness. Look
into a hive. There you'll see the sun.
Except for the drones, every single
member belonging to it has just one
sole aim in life?the welfare of the
colony. Even the drones serve a
purpose so long as the workers permit
them to live. We don't know exactly
what that purpose is, but we
do know that a colony doesn't thrive
so well without them."?'Sumter Herald.
The commission on the memorial
to World war veterans in Columbia
decided at its meeting that now was
no time to ask the state for $190,000
appropriation for a memorial build.

SOMK (it HKHNATORIAL BKrtnpvioHs
As politicians never ileep, npr *1lt)w
the people to snore, newspapers
may as well hand out a little dope
also. It is too early in the game to
buttonhole any candidate for governor.
There may be a dozen, and
'the breed may, or may not, improve.
Since our man, (Jibson, seems to be
out of the running, we confess to
little enthusiasm so far. There
Mini.-, to be a notion, going the
rounds, that the second battle will be
between 11 lease' and Johnston. If'so,
Uiere will be little choices for many
voters. The latter is excruciatingly
anxious for the job. Our ..opinion is
that, he was' elected in 1930. That
fact, frequently voiced, is a feather in
his cap for 1034. He is harping on
Qthef Mnng- that we cou-ider largely
appeals to prejudice, not to say ignorance.
He advocates free books in
schools. We all know what* that
supposes. His main light seems to
bo on Ben Sawyer and the auto tag
matter. Peculiar planks in a gubernatorial
candidacy. He ia lighting
the change of date for buying plates.
They tried to saddle that on Ben
| Sawyer and the highway department.
The truth is the new date should have
been made years ago. It ia the time
to collect, if ever, during the year.
We have never been, nor now, any
booster of the highway department,
and not personally acquainted with
any man in It, so far as we recall,
but we should not be led off by trivialities.
Mr. Johnston wants the tag
price, as we remember, cut in half.
Another foolish proposition for the
present at least. He is now, and always
has been, opposed to the road
bond issue. That is now, except the
debt,, ancient history. Over 3D million
dollars have been issued. It was
done on the pretext that automobile
taxes and gas would pay for it. Furthermore,
it is highly improbable
that the supreme court, would allow
such a cut, for good reasons. If so,
it is plain hoakum to lead the people
to believe that, ^A-an be done, as a
bid for votes.
It is not necessary to discuss Mr.
Blouse. He grown old in political
harness. Ilis views are familiar
to all. Moimtain Lion Sloan
will, of course, cut no figure in the
race. Lieut.-Gov. Sheppard cast some
deciding- votes in the Senate that are
known, and will hurt him with the
rank and tile of taxpayers.
Mr. Manning, though a member of
the Legislature, is, so far, largely
an unknown puantity. The plauks
in general of his platform are yet to
be fashioned. It is not far-fetched
to figure that he may be in the second
race with either Blease or Johnston.
What South Carolina missed with
Blackwood, and wants with ^the new
governor, is a man of grit and hackbone.
who can force the legislature
to operate within its income and
meet its past idiotic deficits. We
want no higher taxes. 1 he way to
(io.it is to cut. not increase, expenses.
And. besides, not turn all the'criminals
out of the penitentiary on a
helpless public. The voters should
consider these essentials and ballot
.-ant'ly and wisely.?Calhoun Time*.
The bodies of two young women
were found in a shallow grave in a
cornfield by police near Doylestown,
Pa., Tuesday. The police describe
the killing as gangland's way of sealing
the lips of those "who know too
much." The girls had beon missing
since November 1st, when their two
gangland companions were "taken for
a ride." The lonely grave beside a
highway, was found by a farmer, and
noting the freshness of the soil he
began digging and uncovered a portion
of one of the bodies. He summoned
the police, who finished the
digging. The women had been shot
to death. * .
