QUARLES -TXT- Land Uses Survey To Be Big Benefit Clemson College, Dec. 9.—A land uses survey of the soils of South Carolina cf great significance is now under way, through co-opera tion of the South Carolina Emer gency Relief Administration and the Experiment Station and Exten sion Service forces cf Clemson Col- lege. The immediate purpose of the work is to provide relief for unem ployed men who have had training and experience in agriculture, but he ultimate purpose is to secure nformation on important soil and economic problems that will enable ndividual farmers to plan cropping and fertilizer practices best suited to their farms and help agricultural workers to lead the way to a sound agricultural readjustment. A strong organization with Geo. W. Speer, of Anderson, as state di- ’-ector, has been perfected consist ing cf a force of 4 district super visors, 46 county supervisors, and 190 field men, who will gather agro nomic and economic facts about the soils over the entire state, Mr. Speer states. Soil samples and other data will be sent for study to Clemson College, where a building is now being erected for testing soil samples and for housing the general headquarters. Mr. Speer points out that the big task has three important phases (1) the mechanical job of conduct ing the field work; (2) the agro nomic and economic research work with soil samples and data collect ed, which will be undertaken by tin The Bethany H. D. Club enter tained Tuesday afternoon, Decem ber 5th, with a delightful surprise party at the home of Mrs. W. E. Sheppard, Sr., in honor of Mrs. Sheppard and Mrs. R. H.

After a brief Christmas program by club members, each guest was asked to write a description of the bride’s trousseau worn forty-three years ago. Mrs. J. W. Seigler gave the most accurate description. Tel egrams of good wishes were writ ten, the words to be formed from Julia - Carrie, given names of the brides. Mrs. E. K. Mosely wrote the best romance composed of song titles. The guests were invited into the dining room where a delicious sal ad course with coffee was served, by Miss Emmie Sheppard, assisted by Mrs. O. B. Minor and Mrs. J. W. Seigler. In the center of the din ing table was a large wedding cake artistically decorated and bearing the number 43.

Dr. H. P. Cooper, agronomist of the South Carolina Experiment Station, will be in charge of the soil studies, with Prof. G. H. Aull, agricultural economist, looking af ter the economic phases. The Extension Service under Di rector Long has co-cperated in ad-1 visory capacity and in organiza- j tion work, and will of course be the | channel of distribution in carrying | results to the public when results become available as time goes on. The district directors, trained and experienced agricultural work ers, are W. B. Rogers, Clemson Col lege, for 13 upper Piedmont coun ties; Thos. E. Keitt, Newberry, for 10 lower Piedmont and Pee Dee counties; A. G. Smith, Edmund, for 12 central and western counties; L. O. Watson, Florence, for 11 coast al and Pee Dee counties.

The individ ual farmer will learn the soil types which make up his farm, the arid ity of each type, the crops best suited to each soil type, what land should go in pasture or forest, and what rotations should prove best in i maintaining soil' fertility.

Britt, in charge, assisted by James Britt and Benton Talbert. | Rehoboth.—Our community was sadly shocked on Monday morning, December 4th, by learning of the serious illness of Mr. W. R. Gil christ, who was taken suddenly ill during the night. The day before he was as well as usual and went to visit one of his daughters that afternoon. His friends and loved ones were summoned. His daugh ter,’Miss Helen Gilchrist, who has had two years’ training, and his niece, Miss Florence Gilchrist, who is a trained nurse, came at once and did their very best to aid the skilled physician to relieve the suf ferer, .but all to no avail. Human power could not stay the hand of death. The death angel came at a few minutes past midnight, to re lieve the sufferer of all life’s sor rows and trials, on December 5th, 1933. Mr. Gilchrist would have been 59 years of age December ?5th. The greater portion of his life has been spent ip the pommpnity in which he was born. He was a kind hus band and lather, a good neighbor. He joined the Rehoboth Baptist Church in boyhood. Mr. Gilchrist married Miss SaUie McCord of Alabama. God blessed the union with five girls and three boys, and one, little girl died in in fancy. Some of theSe have grown into womanhood and manhood, some are still small. All have lived to call their parents blessed. Mr. Gilchrist is also survived by four little grandchildren, for whom he had very tender love; a sister, Mrs. Tillie G. Groner, and a brother, Mr. T. B. Gilchrist, and a host of other relatives and friends. Nature seemed to mourn with the bereaved family. A slow rain fell during the funeral service. The service was short and impressively led by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Gur ley, who read some impressive and sweet comforting Scripture. It had been Mr. Gilchrist’s request some time ago that Mrs. W. A. Winn ahd Mrs. W. T. Strom sing “The Old Rugged Cross” at his funeral. This request was' granted. The choir sang several other songs, Mrs. E. M. Morgan at the piano. Quito a number of Mr. Gilchrist’s close friends acted as honorary pallbearers; six of his first-cousins were active pallbearers; a number of friends carried the many and beautiful floral offerings, The attendance was aliifost the church-seating capacity; there was hardly parking room on the church ground for the cars; the audience was held in a hushed silence that gave evidence of love and respect for the departed friend and his be reaved family. „ The beautiful casket was slowly rolled down the aisle he had trod since childhood, followed by those he loved best, to be tenderly laid to rest, under a mound of lovely flowers. To the bereaved ones, heartfelt sympathy. May the Lord sustain each of you in this hour of sore affliction. A Friend. Bellevue H. D, T Tr * Club Meets BeHevue H. D.
