The many fMends of James Loyal Snelling in hit home town of Barnwell were painfully shociked Friday morn ing at the newt of his sudden death on the night previous at Columbia at the home of his wife’s mother, Mrs. N. B. Hill. “Loyal,” as he was affectionately known by his family and friends, was a young man of most attractive per sonality. He had lived practically all of his life in Barnwell, except at times when he would be employed in Columbia, Charleston, Florence and \atterly Orangeburg, at which last place he was taken sick in his last illness. He had been a sufferer all of his life, practically, with a chronic case of a?thma, which was the cause of hi s death, superinduced by an at tack of grip or influenza, which ex tenuated his asthmatic condition and resulted in hia expiring, more or less suddenly, about twelve o’clock on Thursday night, January 9th, 1930. His funeral was preached.by the Rev. J. H. Webb, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Columbia, and in terment was in Elmwood cemetery.

Snelling, of Barnwell; his wife, who before marriage was Miss Ethel Hill, and one infant daughter, Helen Fran- cis, of Columbia; three brothers, Dr. G. N. Snelling and J. Albert Snelling, of Atlanta, and Thos. E. Snelling, of Charlotte. u. He was a man in the height of strong, virile young manhood, being 38 years of age, with a long life ex pected for him, but the way of the Omnipotent ig beyond human under standing. He had a splendid trait of character — he forgot his wrongs quickly and always remembered the kindnes-es and favors extended to him, and when he came to pass away he stepped from his earthly career into the unknown eternity—a man unafraid, sustained and armed by an abiding faith in the eternal life and promises held out to those who love the Lord. His body U resting in beau tiful Elmwood cemetery in a grave overwhelmed with floral tributes, wa tered with the tears of his friendg and loved ones. His soul is ascending from one sphere to another sphere, awaiting the commands of his Heaven ly Father. Peace be unto his ashes. A Friend. Vital Statistics.

Ventilation Is Most Important With Seed L Freezing Is One of Winter Troubles of Spuds. •« »; Freezing is most feared by potato growers when considering storage problem* As a result greater losses probably come from high temperatures than k»7, according to A. L. Wilson of the New York State College of Agri culture. The difference between good and bad storage Is only a matter of a few degrees above 40 degrees Fahrenheit; 34 to 40 degrees would be Ideal; be low 34 degrees means freezing, and above 40 degrees conditions are favor able for sprouting. Shrinkage In creases rapidly as spronts appear. If the air is too dry, water loss from the potatoes will cause shrink age, and if it Is too moist, moisture will collect on the walls and ceiling, and on the tubers. The presence of drops of moisture on the ceiling or on the pile is a danger signal, for rot will begin unless ventilators are pro vided that may oo open with safety on a relatively cold day. Ventilation is more Important with seed stock than market potatoes. It Is essential to seed aud preferable for market stock to come out of storage with vitality intact and a good appear- ance. Darkened areas on the tubers and"a low vitality can be charged to lack of oxygen In the storage. Stale and moist air must be removed and home-made devices will serve. False floors and walls will let air circulate around the pile. Slatted chutes may be run through the plies, or empty crates or barrels may be used. v Fertilizer Necessary for Best Garden Crops It is not too early to begin thinking about and planning the farm or home vegetable garden, according to A. M. Binkley, assistant professor of horti culture at the Colorado Agricultural college. Vegetable gardens should be well planned now, be says. New seed catalogues are being distributed to farmers aud gardeners. The wise man will have his plans completed early and the quantities of seed determined so be can place his order soon. By ordering early from reliable local seed dealers and reputable seed houses, one can avoid the delays caused by the rush of business later in the season, and the possible substitutions for de sired varieties. In planning the farm or home vege table garden, one must first decide bow much of each kind of vegetable to plant This can only be estimated on the space available for the garden and the needs and ta&tes of the family. In, making selections of vegetable seeds from catalogues it Is best to or der standard varieties, Mr. Binkley de clares. Plan Vegetable Garden for Profitable Results A garden started with a sod plowed under may worry along with commer cial fertilizers for a few years but unless the humus, the decaying plant material in the soil. Is renewed a gradual decrease in productiveness will occur. Where stable manure Is not obtainable, leaves, lawn clippings, and other plant refuse may be piled up until partially decayed and then applied to the soil, or reasonable amounts may be spread directly upon It and spaded in. One good way to Increase the humus content Is to plant rye after the crops are removed. This may be done gradually as some crop is removed and some small space left vacant In the fall. The rye should be turned under the next spring before it makes too much growth. Chinese Prepare to Add ; “Law of Things” to Code ' Shanghai.—Work is being continued on the drafting of a Chinese civil code, the last addition in preparation being the “Law of Things,” which is said to ■correspond to the occidental law of Sproperty. It is being drafted by the 4a\v-draftlng committee of the leg islative yuan, one of the five branches •of the Nanking government. The new law Is to form the third 'took of the Chinese civil code, the first two books being General Prin ciples and the Law of Obligations. The third volume Is to be modeled after the new German civil code, with each provisions as are thought neces- aery doe to the special conditions and anstoms prevailing in China.

He’ll get over the notion that he is reaching the folk of Barnwell with his advertising in the bigger towns’ newspapers and In the general To do a Job well and to f£el that you are a necessary part of the world’s progress—that is success or at least a large share of It. / see Farm manure has i considerable amount of potassium and some of the good effects of manure may be due to the amount of the/eleraent present.
