J It is a fact which we deplore "S J that the resting of the first Gov- J* ^ ernor this State ever had is un- % marked and unknown.?Editor. mvAv.v.'.w.v.v.'.vww By A. L. Salley, Jr. The burial place of Sir John Yeamans, the first Governor of South Carolina, is unmarked and unknown There is no monument to his memory anywhere in South Carolina and the only place in the State that perpetuates his patronymic is the seat cf an old plantion on Goose Creek, a few miles north of Charleston, called Yeamans Hall. Sir John never owned the plantation, never lived upon it and his name was but indirectly connected with it. rc ? tsn 4 _i j. - vii oc(jiciiiuci u, ion, auuui u month after Sir John's death, Lady Margaret Yeamans, his widow, re ceived a warrant from the Governor find Lords Proprietors' deputies for 1,070 acres of land for the arrival of herself and "soe many Sevts. and Negroes arriving in the yeare 1671 and 1672 in some place not yett laid out or marked to be laid out for any other person ore use." Grant to Lady Margaret Yeamans. A grant was made to Lady Margaret Yeamans, February 9, 1675, of 1,070 acres, bounding upon "Yeamans his Creeke in Ittawan River." The creek called Yeaman's Creek in this grant was soon thereafter called exclusively Goose Creek, which name it has borne ever since. That appears to have been the only connection tl at the Yeamans family had with that tract of land. Whether Lady Yeamans abandoned it or sold it has not been ascertained from our records by the writer, or by anyone else so far as he can ascertain. SV?p r*?tnmorl fn Barbadoes a few vears later. The next definite information we have respecting this tract of land is furnished by a grant made by the Governor and Lords Proprietors, deputies, July 10. 1718, to Landgrave (the second) Thomas Smith of a tract of 1,869 acres, which included within its bounds the plantation now called Yeamans Hall. The plat to the grant to Lady Yeamans is not on record, but from the description given in the cer^ tificate of survey accompanying the j?rant, the tract so granted apparently formed the greater part of th< larger tract subsequently granted t< Landgrave Smith. The certificate ol survey accompanying the grant t< Landgrave Smith states that the survey had been made under authorization of a warrant dated Septembei 27, 1710. In a memorial of his titles to his lands, filed with the Audlto General under the terms of the Stat ute of 1731, Landgrave Smith declar ed his title to his 1.8G9 acres to hav been dovivArl rrv.n-.4- 1 nu . I WM VI 4 V e>?t?UL wi i | 1C ^ Tile Smith Grant. The certificate of survey to th Smith grant describes the 1,860 acre as "Scituate and being on the Soutl' side of a Branch of Cooper Rive commonly called Goose Creek and hutting and bounding to the Nort on the marshes of ye said Creek I ye Southd on ye Land of Fr. Jofc Filbein & John Penniman to ye Eas wd on Capt. George Smith awf to tl Westward on Mr. Brian Realy's lai which upon an Exact Survey prov< to be 70 7Acres of Land more thj was formerly granted as appears 1 the several Platte and Grants." In his own will made in 17 Landgrave Smith applied no name this plantation. He devised to 1 eldest son, Henry, "my brick hou or family mansion at Goose Creek I gether with 500 acres of land joini on my brother, Dr. George Smith." other bequests he referred to the plf as his Uoose Creek plantation" "Goose Creek lands." From Henry Smith the place pass upon his death in 1780, to his s< Thomas, who in 1780 had a plat of 1 property made. It was not cal! Yeamans Hall on the plat, nor < Henry or Thomas in any document far brought to light refer to it by tl name. From Thomas Smith the place pa ed to his son, George Henry Smith n from George Henry to his son, Tl mas Henry Smith, whose represen tive? sold it some time after 1900, ter it had remained in one family nearly two hundred years. The name Yeamans Hall seems have been applied to the place by t who had no authority and only a p tic license so to do. Earliest Mention of Name. The earliest mention of that na so far discovered by the writer, or any other writer on South Carol matters is found in %'A Peep Into PaBt," by Mm. Elizabeth Anne Poy , > who wrote under the pen name of "Octogenarian Lady," and "Ancient Lady," published in 1853. That work was republished two years later as 'The Olden Time of Carolina." The name therein given "Yeaman Hall," and. like a successful vaccination, it "took" and quickly evoluted into Yea- i ,v?ans Hall .and in less than nevontyfive years has become "historical," even as has the "Castle" added to Mulberry by a fanciful writer "Citadel (iieen" by inn^ ^stom Middlel> n 'Garden*" for ' PaU l*y those who would duplicate Magnolia Gardens on the advertising- sheet, the plural "s" in the middle of the historic name Awendaw, injected by an ignorant postmaster, and the omitted apostrophe and letter "s" in the county seat of Dorchester County, despite an act of the General Assembly pass J.1-- I- ' ? ? cu iu preserve me nisioric parisn name St. George's, Dorchester. The old Smith home, or mansion house, as the e*irly owners chose to call it, was destroyed by fire many years ago, but much still survives there to interest those who find interest in evidences of the culture of the past. As a preserver of the name of Sir John Yeamans, the name so lately bestowed upon the old Smith place, serves an excellent purnose. As to the founder of the place, the second Landgrave Thomas Smith, there is no danger of his fame passiner into obli}vion; his descendants and those claiming descent from him being too numerous to permit of such a thing. o WHAT DUSTING MACHINES? Farmers Should Study Their Needs And Investigate Before Buying Clemson College.?The time is near when the farmer must definitely decide whether he will dust his cotton, and if so, what machines he needs. There are not only a scarcity of calcium arsenate, but there is also little hope of getting an adequate supply of machinery if purchasing is delayed until the last moment, advises Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, who urges farmers to give the matter their serious attention, and states that the Extension Service will be glad to mail any further information that it has available. j Dusting machines are classified as follows: Hand Dusters.?These are also called hand blower guns, and are made by several leading manufacturers of dusting machinery. A good machine costs from $18 to $20 and will last a long time. Cheap dusting machines are expensive at any price, because they do not do effective work and soon wear out. S.iiliil0.Ka^lr flnno ???? vjiuno* ui^ig oic ncv ? | eral types on the market, costiner from] ?55 to $65. These are desirable for very rough terraced ground, specially in the upper Piedmont taction, where it is difficult to handle large areas of cotton with the horse-drawn ina, chines. But it must be remembered that the hand-driven machines have , not the fan power, nor do they give the cloud obtained from the approved horse-drawn machines. i One-Mule Dusters.?There are several types on the market, costing ap! proximately $125. These are two-row machines, capable of covering about ! sixty acres per person, and adaptable ; to almost any kind of cotton field, i however rough or terraced. I Two-Mule Machines.?This is a ; three-row duster, capable of taking care of approximately 100 acres of cotton per season. There are several > types on the market, costing from *1 $225 to $325, and are especially adapt i'ed to large plantations., where the >. fields are level. f! Regarding- hand guns particular at> tention is directed to the fact that *! the most approved hand guns have -1 steel gears, ball bearings, and gear? r' operating in grease, making the ma* chines very easy to operate on coni" tinuous runs nnd giving them a long - life, First Get Reliable Advice e There are active this year a nun* her of agencies handling various un tried machines, contraptions and con e coctions, and of course, it is up to th< s farmer to decide upon whose advic< he prefers to purchase. Some farm i\ ers se^m to nrefer to purchase upoi is the advice of strangers gaming int h the community whom they have neve *> seen before and who have their pock in ets full of testimonials from man t- States. Other farmers, of course ie realize that testimonials are easy t id gfet without cost at any time and pr* sd fer to have the advice of some car* *n ful experimentor near home, or c by some well-known neighbor who ha thoroughly investigated the matter, c 38 of Federal or State agencies, who alf to are entirely unprejudiced, lis o ?

Field, pathologist of Bellevue. They credit Dr. D. D. Van Sl.vke of Rockfeller Institute with invaluable assistance. Hardening: of the arteries has been , credited inaccurately with responsibility for an exaggerated proportion of high blood pressure cases. Dr. Higley said yesterday and this arterioscelerosis, an incurable condi- < tion, has been accepted as an indication of an incurable conditio^ in high blood pressure cases erroneously attributed to that cause. largely confined to middle age, hitherDi.agnosis of high blood pressure, to has focus setj on analysis of blood without adequate disclosure of functional inactivity of the kidneys and its causes removed, the physisian explained. The investigations, he said, have developed treatment and a formula for curing inactivity of kidneys by establishing accurately And recognizing normally the presence and proportions of abnormal constituents in the blood and abnormal proportions of normal 1 proportions of normal constituents. The new method, Dr. Higley said, ' discloses accurately the character and ' exact proportions of such abnormal 1 conditions and renders easily practi- : cable their constant observation and 1 removal by diety treatment. * The causes other than hardening of the arteries may be completely elimi- ( nated in 70 per cent of such high blood ^ pressure cases by dietary treatment * with the formula discovered, Dr. Hig- 1 ley said, and in 15 per cent of the re- * mainder the condition may be reduced t or arrested in its progress. This re- ' duces, even in acute cases, the dangers of apoplexy, a freauent result < of excessive blood pressure. A blood test alone cannot be accu- ( rate( said Dr. Higley, because it fails 1 to take into consideration function.il activity of the kidneys. Through functional failrre of the kidneys, par- 1 tial or complete, a very misleading 1 condition may be set up in the blood. { With the aid of the formula our work has developed, applied to n ' method of diagnosis covering the ' functioning of the kidneys as well as establishing the blood content, we can determine with mathematical precision the actual content of the five contributing substances. We can observe them as they lessen in response to dietary treatment and we can regulate their presence and the resultant blood nrf?RMir#?

O, APE 5, 198 USE AIRPLANES TO HUNT BANDITS One of their number captured, another shot to death last night in a gun battle with posses, the remnant of one of the most daring and successful bands of highwaymen the West has known since the days of Jesse James and Henry Starr; in flight across the bottoms of the Arkansas river last week in a desperate attempt to reach the fastness of the Osage Hills, for fifty years a refuge for criminals with a price on their heads. Two of the band remain after having twice in twelve fought their way out of an encircling ring of armed citizens, who responded instantly yesterday to an alarm from the Mannf r? vH Knnlr u + Mannfnvr) nirl o which the quartet robbed of $600. One of the survivors is A1 Spencer, fearless gunman, who is credited with having engineered most of the bank robberies in the Southwest for the past several years, and for whom there are rewards totalling $20,000 He was recognized by a member of the pursuing posse with field glasses. The other is unidentified. Trail Is Blood Mark. Both the survivors are wounded,'a trail of blood giving evidence of their painful progress across the wild country in Northern Oklahoma. A series of incident played against the robbers in the job at Mannford. but it was a girl's scream that gave the alarm, bringing a score of citi '-ens to the bank and cutting short the robbers' time for completion of ;heir work. Three men entered the bank yesteriay afternoon, a fourth remaining vith their car at the curb. The Misses Juanita and Cornelia Coonrod, employed by their father, were alone ir :he bank at the time. Producing the jrun.s, the three bandits told the girls :o put up their hands. Mi ss Cornelia screamed and a mail ;mployed next door rushed in and was ined up with the two sisters. Then me of the bandits seized all the currency in the cash drawer. A niimber of citizens immediately formed in pursuit. Sheriirs of other counties were notified and possemen moved from all directions toward the district into which the quartet had fled. A short distance out of Mannford the bandit car was overtaken, disabled by tire trouble. A man found mending a tire, who gave his name as Leo Stuarts, of Tulsa, was arrested, but he refused to make a statement. Late yesterday evening the three ramainjng fugitives were cornered or a hilltop near Terlton, Okla., and the battle raged far into the night.
