World war paymaster general of the United i States navy and first chief highway commissioner, died here at b.2f> a. m. todsy at the Laurens hotel after a: brief illness from a heart ailment. ; Admiral McGowan, who was a native ; of Laurens, arrived Friday from Washington and New York for one of his two or three annual visits, having I as t \ isited here in May. During. Saturday )1C was ?M 'he streets greet-! ing friends as usual". ! Lieut. Comdr. W. R. Ryan of Die! Charleston navy yard came to spend ! the week-end with the admiral at! the hotel. Shortly after 11 o'clock! last night Admiral McGowan, who had been entertaining several callers in the lobby, complained that he felt a numbness in one of his arms. I)r. R. P. McGowan, his kinsman, was called at midnight and remained with him until 2 o'clock. Meantime a nurse, was called. lie rested very well for several hours but shortly after 9 a. m. he suffered a collapse and soon cXpii cd. lames (i. Holmes, a nephew,' and' his family were here this afternoon i from Columbia. During the day 1 there were many callers at the hotel where Admiral McGowan had made his home for many years when in the city. Tit at he had died Armistice day, the 16th anniversary marking the close of the great war he had helped to win. was commented on by local friends. i Many Saw Meteor n>i Thursday night of hist week around ll:d() o'clock those persons who were out were treated to a beautiful sight in the form of a falling meteor. An eye witness says it was a blinding bluish light and lasted for several seconds, fading away as the tail of the comet disappeared across the heavens. If the Florida state prohibition laws are repealed by the general assembly next week, the distilling of alcoholic liquors in the state will probably become a major industry. ? *> < -fr - > ?

According to an M. A. thesis in the University of iKouth Carolina library, a group of religious fanatic* who called themselves Weberites traipsed nu<le Over the I^exington county greensward in 1723. Cat Island trails by two centuries. The three leaders of this strange group called themselves "the Father/' "the Son," and the "Holy Ghost," respectively. Things were not very smooth within thik triumvirate, however. As the result of a (fUarrel, "the Father" chained "the Son" in the forest ?uid later called his gung who beat and stamped him to death. After a short time the anger of "tho Father" was turned toward "the Holy Ghost," whom he murdered ir\ bed. Needless to say, the remaining member of the triumvirate was condemned to the gallows. Approximately (JO medicinal plunts^ native to South Carolina, were found recently j>y sophomore pharmacy students at the University of South Carolina during a field trip in pharmacy laboratory work. There are many more plants of medicinal value in South Carolina, says W. D. Strother, associate professor of pharmarcy in the University of South Carolina. % I have killed two thousand cats in the last two year's, was the boast of a woman in New \ork in 1893, according to a story in the News and Courier on file in the South Carolina room in the University of South Carolina library. She was arrested cailying a bag in which there were* six dead cats. She had left two otheis dead in a park some distance Asked for an explanation, she responded: "Those cats had no right to be out after 8 o'clock. So I killed them." "War is quite probable. The situation in Germany is becoming more and more tense as January approaches," declares Francis W. Bradley, dean and professor of Ge> man in the University of South Carolina. The center of all attention is the S iar valley, n nasin small in area but cry rich in natural ; <??. u.ces. By the treaty of Versailles, the Saar will hold an election in January, 1935, for the purpose of determining whether the area will join Germany, remain a.- a part of France, or become a separate state under the league. Consequently as election day approaches, excitement is increasing. The characteristics of the region are purely German, and France is afraid of the outcome of the election. The great wealth of the region in coal I a^d iron ore makes it highly desirable. according to Dean Bradley. Seventy-eight social workers, seventy-five women and three men. regt>.etvd for the second cycle of the School of Social Work at the University of South Carolina which began November 6.

It will be run in five cycles of six weeks each from September to June. During the first cycle, September 20 to November 3, 73 registered, 70 women and 3 men. Fifty-six of this number registered for the second cycle. The School of Social Work is a separate and distinct unit at the Uni-1 versity, affiliated with the department of sociology, according to John A. Chase, Jr., registrar, who gave out the registration statistics." Requests Granite Of State To Be Used There is quite a discussion in tho state as to the kind of material to be used in the construction of the World War memorial to be erected by the State of South Carolina in Columbia. On October 29 Congressman Richards wrote Colonel Monroe Johnson, chairman fo the Building Committee tor the World War Memorial Commission, expressing his views as follows: "I have been much interested in published expressions of opinion that have come to you, as Chairman of the Building Committee for the World War Memorial Commission, setting forth the advantages and advisability jof using certain types of material in the construction of the memorial. I am adding my voice to those who have advocated South Carolina Granit for this memorial, which, long after we have gone, will cause 'the pilgiim here to pause.' I believe, too, that those in whose memory the monumental!] be erected, could {hey speak, would be as one voice in favor ?i ^ South Carolina product.

L. N. Langford, who has had the job of finding all the old cotton in Lexington county and tagging it, un. deivjthe Hank head bill, states that there are 7,045 bales of old cotton in this county. Several interesting facts were brought out by Mr. Langford in connection with his work of tagging old cotton. For instance, he found one bale of the staple at Chapin the owner of which claimed w^ 45 years old. This cotton was in afjgood state of preservation, Mr. Lanj|ford stated. Probably the man in Lexington county with the largest amotmt of cotton on hand, according to Mr. Langford, is Jim Clarke, who had stored at his ! home 354 bales of cotton, with more in some of the warehouses of the' county i I Mr. Langford stated that he found lots of cotton* several years old, and J much of it in such a state of deterio- 1 ration, because of improper storage, 1 that would not amount to more than 1 a third to a half of bale after being j re-packed. ."1. All this old cotton, after being 1 tagged by Mr, 'Langford, may be sold 1 t&x free, but he doubta that some of it will be sold within the next sever- j al years.?Lexington Dispatch-News.'] RIDING GLORIOUSLY QN MERCY I Magazines and. newspapers over- I flowed with harrowing tales of the I drought-stricken areas out West last j summer.
