("Jim ) Alley, one of the country * outstanding > newspaper cartoonists, was ended by death today. The creator of "iiambone," uged j Negro, whose whimsical "meditations" appear in 75 American newapapers, died after a valiant fight for ilea. 1th. Modgkins' disease was assinned as the cause of death. Mr. Alley, who became staff cartoonist for The Commercial Appeal about 10 y$ars ago, was a native of Arkansas. A short while ago he planned a tour of tho Southwest with Mrs. Alley and a leave of absence was obtained, but he suffered a relapse and was taken to a hospital. A share of The Commercial Appeal's credit for receiving the Pulitzer ^rize in 1P22 was accorded Mr. Alley, for it was "for cartoons and new*" in the papeV's fight against the Ku Klux Klan that the award was made, Many of Mr. Alley's political cartoons' were republished in other newspapers, &tnl "Who's Who in Ameriea" says one drawn by him receiver! the widest publication of any during the 1P21 presidential campaign. In it Mr. Alley took advantage of the popularity of the song, "It Ain t.onna Hum No More," and of ]?u 1C.;city given the Teapot Dome affair. Tiu* Uepubliean elephant was pictured singing. "We ain' gwine steal no mo' ? we ain' gwine steal no mo'," to which the Democratic donkey replied: "Hut how'n the 'ell kin the country tell you ain' gwine steal no mo'." Son To Carry On Memphis, Tenn., April 17.?Calvin lame Alley, 18-year-old high school student, today arose to the task of continuing a daily newspaper cartoon created by his father, Jam'es P. Alley, who died yesterday. Tho cartoon, "Hambone's Meditations," portrays the philosophy of a Southern Negro. It is printed in 75 Southern newspapers. Until the elder Alley died of cancer of the throat, it had not been revealed that the youth had conducted the cartoon for several months during the illness of his father. A Tribute Entered into Life eternal on Saturday, April 14th, Mary Kershaw Shannon, daughter of (Jen. and Mrs. J. H. Kershaw and \fidow of the late Charles J. Shannon. ^ To those who knew anil loved heTthere comes a realization of the great influence her steadfast Christian life had on this community. Who can estimate the good her courage and patience will continue to exert over those who were privileged to come in contact with her? Her cheerfulness and resignation under sickness or**" sorrow; the simplicity and trust of her faith in Clod will prove a guiding star to each of us on our pilgrimage hef>c-below. A wholesome sense of humor made her an understanding friend to all.

XVOt, CiMU, ABO. 1 STAND A R D OIL COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY [ Only A School Teacher (Karl. K. .Kilby. in . Roton, .New Mexico, Range) Back in the days of the Sixth century almost fifteen hundred years ago St. Benedict, the Roman monk, discovered something which began the march out of medieval gloom, ignorance, and martyrdom. Sitting on the slippery rock of a rugged mountain side, and by dint of much hard thinking he came to th? conclusion that in order to become reafly blessed of God we must do something good for our fellows. But when Benedict, banishing the idea of asceticism, repression and selitorture from his life, went back to the cave where he had lived and tried to teach his old associates how to read and write, they flew at him, first like scavenging jackals, and then ran away, declaring that he was "devil and monk in one." But Benedict persisted, as did his confreres in the search for Truth, both before and after his time, and by their efforts the world has been given Kducat ion! The search for learning, knowledge, information, is man's "Noblest Idscontent." Source it as you will, all it the Creative Instinct, analyze it' back to the "Cosmic Urge of ail life I which includes all planning, purpo-e,' desire, hope, unrest, ambition" till1 you must be ready to admit that with the evolution of intellect in the .- ml of man. came dissatisfaction w.thj things as they are and determ.r.a . n with th:r.g< they are and det.rri-' nata-n to improve them. Of all cna'ures. mar. the highest type f all, the only one who criticizes his en-j v.mnmer.t and heredity?and -y n proceeds, by means of Flducatic n. to' master and better them. Hence, :f we but recognize ;t. business of be;r,g "only a school tia tier." is perhaps the most import.. * .f iiil the professions. As a matt, r f fa '. doi.'t we moderns owe prac'...-dy i :,r a.l to the teachers? Aren't * -.?? teachers the true scouts of pre-, r.t :.iy civilization? Isn't the schoolma-ter c ur most implacable foe of fraun. perstitior., ignorance, incom;>-te: e, deceit and crime? Is it not the pe :a-' gogue who r.as eternaazed the Rena.s.-. Mir.ce into a perpetual parade of hummac. progress? .Just try to imagine where we w<. .U ; be without Education! Suppose there had been no scholars, no students, no , teachers, no Pauls "brought up a* the I fe?t of Gamaliel," during the past ten ar fifteen centuries. Religion would till be mythology?science and phi- 'l losophy still groping and faltering? the arts unborn?commerce and industry confined to barter?government still feudal. In all the annals of mankind there is not an age, not an era, not a cycle, not a dynasty which has suppressed the urge for learning that has not oblivioned itself in the pages of history as a disastrous, dismal failure. Let us then be thankful tcr God for Education, which helps us to be the masters instead of the serfs of destiny?which teaches us how to produce more than we consume?which qualifies us to meet and beat all conditions and circumstances?which brings us the capacity to understand life, its duties and its joys. And if we are inclined to regard the teacher indifferently, a necessary evil as it were, let us remember that many of the greatest souls of history were teachers?Moses, Plato, Pythagoras, Confucius, Cicero, Aurelius, Hypatia, Savonarola, Luther, Erasmus, King Alfred, Galileo, Newton, Froebel, Darwin, Rousseau, Emerson, Thoreau and 1 hosts of other immortals whose lead- | ership helped to bring us up out of the Egypt of our ignorance. And if deference to the memory of1 these all-time celebrities of learning does not provoke due appreciation of' the Educator, then all we need to do, i is recognize the fact*that when we teach we are dealing with children. And when we are dealing with children j we are dealing with '"soul-stuff"?the j people of the future?the boy and > girl.s of today, who are the poteniaii- | ties of tomorrow and ten times more 1 important than the mo-t important individuals of the present. Wasn't .! The.ma* A. Edi>or, who said that the "m.n-t marvel..us machine i.f ail, far greater than anything we have ever dreamed of. is the fre-h. eager, st.il untaught, unchartered^ yet-te-he-; i aine?! brain of a little I child?" Ar.d to him whi is " only a teacher" belongs the task and Ihe joy ( of guaur.g. sr.apir.g and cr.mrhtng* t h. a' w a; t. n g m t r. t a i i t y. Ail hor.o' then, to the teacher? ar'.^t in instruction?"and art iA not a th:ng--it is a way, the beautiful way. the effective way," of making this world a better place in which to; live. In Columbia 41 per cent of the i residents own their own homes and j only half of these are mortgaged. Real estate in the business district j of Columbia is rising in price, and this, week a new record was made when a ; lot at 15.18 Main street was sold for j $1,967 a front foot. I Singing Moot Sunday The Lee County Singing Convention will meet with Savannah Advent !

I I^ouis Kossoth, 85, old-time newspaper man of the Civil war days, is dead at Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Simon S. Leopold, of Philadek phia, explained to the American WI lege of Physicians, in session at Chii cngo, a method he is using in tb? | treatment of pneumonia, which be says has reduced the mortality veto from the disease from 72 to 16 per cent. Figures submitted to the American Bankers association, in session it Hot Springs, Ark., show that durinfthe hanking crisis of last year 4,000 banks were closed and banking resources of the country were reduced five and a half billion dollars. Then were 110,800 banks in the country i> 1921. This number has been reduced to 14,000. James McFarland, 40, of Miami Fla., had a penchant for practical jokes. He placed a poison tablet to his mouth and informed friends be was goiing to commit suicide. In the ensuing excitement he swallowed til tablet and his hospital attendants re I port his condition as serious. r-f ./ro^6"'" ' f Mrxlcrn as a j9.?r br,.i Smart as a new Sella:' Graceful as the a^-i of a rainhou !
