The esteem in which Doctor Jamison 1h held by the churches of the state is shown in the following tribute to him by the Ilev. 13. J. W. Graham in "Baptist Biography" published in 1920: "He is a co worker of tine sympathy und wisdom with other denominations and in the statu lnati tut ions in social service, and is recognized by them us a fellow helper of high churacter and lofty Ideals. His character 1h well rounded and he excits the quiet influence of one who desi11^ to do good rather than to become conspiciouH us u leader. Jle is easily approached by all In need of a friend and he has made the spirit of brotherhood rule his conduct with sin h sympathy that he is a genuine servant. Ho bus the acquisitive spirit hi a student, and yet he is a worker lie looks after the religious life of the youth with a fatherly interest, und j almost every child becomes a member | of the orphanage church in duo time j For what he 1h and what he does, he is enthroned in the hearts of South 1 Carolina Baptists." In addition to his services at the orphanage Doctor Jamison has been very active in the civic affairs of Greenwood. He is recognized as one of the community's leading citizens and his influence for the moral and religious development of tin1 city and state haH been outstanding. An illustration of the high regard j in which he is held there was given L> Hie Greenwood Kiwanis (Jjib last December when he was el^fen as honor guest nf the annual club banquet because of his unselfish and val liable service. M G. McDonald in presenting Doctor Jamison to the club bespoke not only the sentiments of tho Kiwanians but of all Greenwood when he said: " The best known citizen of Greenwood Is the head of Connie Maxwoll orphanage and wherever he is known he is esteemed and honored He is not honored for Ids material success luit because ho has devoted his long ami. 11st iul lite to tht- service of humanity "We honor ourselves in honoringhim. whose charatti-r we revere, whose attainments w.- admire and whose personality we love.

Approval Won By Cancer Act Washington, July 21.?The House interstate and forelKn commerce committee today favorably reported a bill authorizing establishment of a national cancer institute for research for cancer cure. After two bllla providing such work were introduced and referred to the committee, Chairman Clarence F. Lea of California, referred the measure to a subcommittee headed by Representative Alfred L. Bulwinkle to be redrafted to include the provisions of the bills and committee amendments The draft complete, Major Bulwinkle carried the draft of the proposed legislation to the White House and was told the committee bill was favored by the administration. In the committee's report, it Is pointed out that a long range program in the attack on cancer is necessary. The bill provides for a cancer institute in the public health service, for a national cancer advisory council to aid in administering the act, for the purchase of radium for use In research, for lending to institutions of radium for use in research and treatment, and for the acceptance of donations by the Secretary of the Treasury to carry on such projects. '1 he measure authorizes an appropriation not to exceed IT.'iO.OOO for the construction of buildings and equipment for the institute, and an annual appropriation not to exceed $700,000 to be used in carrying out the general provisions of the bill. Representative Bulwinkle said he believed the measure would meet no opposition1 in the House and expressed hope for its passage at this session Georgia Aroused Over Chaingang Atlanta. Ga , July 21.?Georgia prison officials tonight planned farreaching changes in the state's chaingang system as they sought three fugitives in New York and Louisiana and investigated the "sweat-box" death of another. Chairman E. L. Almand of the state senate penitentiary committee announced he was investigating the killing of a 17-year-old youth last week as he attempted to escape from a chaingang in Paulding county and the death of another boy after soli* taiy confinement in Atkinson county. Almand <ondemned to the "sweat box system of punishment, which was said to be the cause of the sec-' ond youth's death. "'1 hese sweat-boxes are very small and while they are ventilated through' openings at the bottom and top they' let in little air and allow the prisoner very little room." Almand said. "In those sweat-boxes, which I hive seen, there is nothing for the prisoner to recline on although wardens say cots are placed in them at night 1'he prisoners usually are placed on bread and water diets when confined in those sweat boxes." Almand led an Investigating . mmittee which left Monday to tour ?he! ? haiugangs heated in Georgia The' committee will recommend changes! in operation to the next legislature. The British house of lords has given its approval to a new divorce law which would give England the first change of its divorce laws since lv.7.

VISITORS TRAVEL FASTER ON HIGHWAYS THAN HOME FOLKS Visitors travel faster than the home folks on the highways, and the farther they come the faster they go. according to a traffic survey bv ttTT*'' federal Bureau of Public roads and the Connecticut State Highway Department As reported in "Public Roads, the Bureau journal of highway research. Connecticut cars averaged 38.2 miles an hour; cars from neighboring Massachusetts. 40,3 | miles; from New York, 413 miles; and from four mid western states, 4 4.9 miles an hour In the daylight during j the Rummer. There was no significant difference in the average speed of men and wornen drivers Men average a little faster in the winter; women In the summer. But, back seat drivers put on the brakes. That is, cars with pas-, sengers did not travel as fast on the average as cars with only a driver aboard. In the winter this difference | in speed averaged only about half a mile an hour, but in summer it was 2 miles. Average speeds were fastest In thai early morning, slowed gradually dur**j lng the day, picked up a little from 5 to 0 In the evening, and lessened in the dark hours. The driving records of 981 high speed drivers were checked against the records of 1,054 moderate drivers. Thirty per cent more of the fast drlv? ers had been In accidents and they uveraged 45 per cent more accidents than those who drove at moderate speeds. The timing was done with the aid of a stop watch and mirrors from a car parked at the side of the road so that drivers would not slow down for fear of a speeed trap. Would Make Bible Standard Textbook Atlantu, July ?ueorgia moved today to place a copy of the Bible In the hands of every school child the state. A newly appointed state board of education unanimously approved a suggestion by Governor E. D. Riven that a million copies of the King James version of the Bible be included in textbook purchases to be made In the near future. It was explained there would be no sectarian or denominational doctrines taught in the state's schools, the Bibles merely being given the students for such use they make of them. The board said Georgia thus would become the only state in which the Bible is included as a standard textbook for the school system. ??? *\ *\T Be the f I Oil Judge What is the right price for a funeral service?
