<nee Miss Hall) accompanied her bus
band to the foreign field. Their new,
Rev. Dr. Lewie H. Shuck, so well
known in Barnwell, was bora at
Semmpore, where hi* parents baited
foe a time oh their long tour over the
seas for their great work. ‘
After yeWrS fn China, Rev. J. Lewis
Shock returned tib California, where,
for a time, he labored as a missionary
to (the Chinese along the Pacific coast.
Upon the outbreaking of the War
Between the States, in early 1861,
Mr. Shuck being a true Southerner
moved to Barnwell, S. C., where he
lived, preaching as pastor of country
'churches unjtil his deeply lamented
death in 1862. Mount Olivet and Long
Branch Churches were two of the
bodies he served. I, as a boy of 14
yearrs, heard some of his fine sermons
at Mount Olivet; and I remember
clearly the text of one of his sermon*.
His personal form and appearance
also are distinctly recalled.
I presume (that his marriage to
Miss Annie TVotti, snsier of the es
teemed Captain Trotti, influenced him
in making Barnwell his home during
the turbulent ami trying war period.
Rev. Lewis H. Shuck, D. D., his
son, also moved to “Barnwell Dis-
itrict” and was pastor at Blackville
and other churches; and later on he
became the beloved and able pastor
of tbe Barnwell Baptist Church. He
wag very useful in the Savannah Riv
er and the Barnwell Baptist Associa
tiona He was editor of “The Barn
well Journal” (newspaper) and taught
In the Barnwell School for girls, and
afterwards in a large school of boys
and girls, being assisted by Mrs. An
nie Trotti Shuck, Miss Nettie Shuck
and Mrs. Mary G. Harley.
During the suspension of exercises
of Furman University,’ in 1868, I re
cited Latin and Greek (Horace and
Homer) and lessors in Rhetoiic
(Whately) to Dr. Lewis H. Shuck:
and, at that period, I often preached
as his “supply” in his ubyer.ee on duty
st other places. I was also Dr. Lind
say’s ^supply" in the summer of
1872. In reciting to Dr. Shuck I rode
on horse and mule Dxck. a d'stance of
seven miles His tuibon to t* v is
all free.
During a part of the war, before
I volunteered in the Army of the
Confederacy, I walked three miles and
back, every day, to the school of Prof.
Patrick Quinn (“Poley Bridge School”
near “Fiddle Pond.”) My sisters, too,
walked to that school. Now it takorf
an automobile to get some children to
school, only a half mile from home!
(Here in Greenville County I have of
ten walked 3 and 4 miles and back, to
preach to people on the chain gang
and jjr-the “Poor House 1 * and “Rescue
Home" and felt happy in doing so.)
But, Mr. Editor, I took up my quill
to say that I heartily rejoice that Dr.
W. M. Joneg and the good women of
the “W. M. U.” have set on foot a
movement to place a tombstone at the
grave of the worthy Missionary, Rev.
J. Lewis Shuck. Please tell Mrs.
Smoak, of Denmark, chairman of the
committee, to put me down
FIRST ONE DOLLAR and to call on
me for it. I will pay it gladly, out q!

Use of Finger Prints

office of the adjutant general of the
army, Washington, according to the
American Medlcal Jonmal. The finger
print system was adopted in 1906 on
the recommendation of a board, of
which Brig. Gen. Walter D. McCaw,
medical corps, was a member. Finger
prints have proved Invaluable, to the
government In the administration of
the adjusted compensation act, and
have made possible positive Identifica
tion of more then 2,800,000 applicants.
They serve to assist civil authorities,
also. For example, a man disappeared
in 1017, and In 1924 he was declared
legally dead by a court; hla family
claimed hla life Insurance. June 80,

Care of Rubber Plants
If you desire a good-looking rubber
plant you must givo'lt good air. Keep
the soU moist but not soggy. The
watering depends upon the heat of the
room. Usually every other day la suf
ficient. A rubber plant will thrive
boat la a room that la light, but If
should not bo kept In th« hot sun.
Every two or three weeks when wa
tering add ammonia to the water,
using on* teaspoon ful ammonia to on*
quart of water. This will keep the
plant from becoming wormy.
Occasionally wipe the leaves gently
with warm milk, using a soft cloth.
This always cleanses the leaves and
acts as a food for th* plants.
Twice in succession, American
fliers have crossed the Atlantic at
one "hop,” Lindbergh flying to
Paris, Chamberlin, with' Levine,
almost to Berlin.
What will military and naval
gentlemen say now about their
theory that “The airplane is no
real menace to this country?"
Out of two attempts toflr*cro*a
the ocean by American flier*, both
succeed. .
What would be th* probable
percentage of success if five thou
sand foreign aviators, with full
government backing and .unlimited
expenditure of money, should fly
the other way on a hostile er
rand?
Americans should take to heart
the lesson that Lindbergh and
Chamberlin have taught us and get
ready to keep hostile fliers away
from this continent. ®
Five or ten thousand first-class
planes,^ carrying mail parcels and
passengers in peace, ready to take
an machine guns in war, would be
the best investment this rich nation
could make.

body. The heart is important, of
course, but the cells, ‘eating, drink

the heart, even in blood circulation.
