It wub a source of genuine grief when it wub learned on Saturday morning la?t thut Mrs. Jerome Catoe, Aunt Jerome," a? she was affection-i ately known by ho many of her friends, had passed at nine o'clock in the morning at the home of her son, j Ernest M. Catoe, following a stroke of paralysis early Sunday morning preceding. Tenderly cared for by her| physician and nursed by loving hands, I it was hoped ihat she might yet be spared for a while longer, but gradual ly ill.- irail body yielded and life' ?d>1 bed out at the hour named above. Mrs Catoe, the widow of the late' John c. Catoe. was in her 711th year. .Sin- with her husband and the cjjkld| fen who came to the home, were born 1 and reared in the flat Creek section tor Lancaster, near the site of the Flat Creek high school. In (be Nineties they had erected the dwelling which stands between the two present Kershaw school buildings, where they lived for a time and then went back to their old home for a while to return later and remain here permanently, with the exception of Mr. Catoe, the head of the family, who died a number of years ago. "Aunt Jerome's" life, while it was lived modestly, was lived actively, in the loving affection she held for her fellow beings, for thoughtful expressions of kindness manifested in both word and deed. A consistent and faithful member of the Kershaw First Baptist church, she was ever considerate of its every interest and active in its work in every way in which she could help. She could be seen frequently about the Catoe Brothers store, owned and operated by her four sons, and it was always a pleasure to meet with, her and spend a while with her. She enjoyed meeting folks and talking with them. She especially enjoyed reviving old memories with those of the older days of association. The funeral services were held in the First Baptist church, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and the church overflowed with the friends In attendance, many of whom could not gain entrance. The services were conduct- i ed by the pastor, Rev. W. J. Bradley, with Rev. George E. Smith, former pastor immediately preceding ReY. Mr. Bradley; Rev. J. Barnwell Caston, pastor of the First Baptist church at | Camden; and Rev. Hoyt Black well, of Mars Hill College, N.

Jan. 88.?Daniel Williame. a negro from Norlh Carolina, about Hlxty yearn old. wan walking on highway G8 between Ehrhardt and Olar when he was hit by a model T Ford car, in which two unidentified white men were riding. The old man's leg I was broken. The men stopped, Williams told Sheriff T. J. Hadwin, and talked with him. asking if ho was hurt. Williams says he told the men his h'g was broken and that he could not move. They told him to remain on tile roadside for a little while and llhey would go to the nearest town and get help and return for'him. They li lt him there and never returned. I lie old man remained out in the cold all night, and the temperature .that night went down to about 22. About 9 o'clock next morning S. L. . Hiers, Jr., of Olar, was passing that way and found Williams almost frozen to death suifering intense agony with his broken member. Mr. Hiers carried the old man to Olar where Dr. L. A. Hartzog set the broken bones and fixed him up as comfortably as possible. The sheriff was notified and he went down and got Williams and brought him to the county jail where he was given kind- j ly treatment and a warm place to stay. The reason the man did not freeze to death was probably because he was wearing two pairs of overalls, four shirts, two coats and .an overcoat. Williams told the sheriff he has no people in this section and that his home is in Henderson, North Carolina. An effort Is being made to get inconnection with his relatives. The county has no arrangements for taking care of such eases, but the sheriff gladly consented to giving the old man as good care as he could to make him comfortable.

CCC camps, soil erosion, and the like, accelerated the program to one now involving hundreds of men and the planting of millions of various types of trees, especially pine trees. He told of the for est nurseries at Camden. Georgetown. I Greenville and Marlboro. He said ! that the Georgetown nursery coin-j prises forty aires, that twenty million' P'lies will be planted in Soutli c.irolina this year which will Increase the' \aliit of farm lands in years to come h\ milllions of dollars. He touched on many other phases of forestry work, and what they hope to accomplish during the next few years. He was introduced to the club by Henry Savage. Jr. ^ Rev.
