“COMING OUT PARTY”
The news of the passing of Mr.
Hubert Hardaway at his home in
Mt. Carmel on Friday afternoon,
May 18th, was received with pro
found sorrow. While it was gener
ally known that Mr., Hardaway was
seriously ill, only a few realized
his very critical condition, as he
had only been confined to his bed
about 10 days. We heard him say
it was his first illness and it was
his last.
Mr. Hardaway was 52 years of
age. He was born and reared near
Amity, Ga. Several years after his
marriage to MJ^s Leonora McBride
in 1908 tMfey came to her home near
here to live. In early boyhood days
he gave his heart to God. He was a
kind-hearted, accommodating, hon
orable, upright man with many
noble traits of character and was
held in high esteem.
As he always loved and attended
the Amity Baptist Church, by his
request the funeral service was
held there Sabbath morning at 11
o’clock. The funeral service was
conducted by the beloved pastor,
Rev. J. W. Kirkland, in the presence
of a very large crowd of sorrowing
relatives and friends. The pastor
prefaced his remarks by eulogy of
the Hardaway family, especially the
dear Mother now in Glory land and
the dear old father patiently await
ing his call.' The influence of their
pure, consecrated lives and the
Christian training given their boys
and girls will live on till time shall
be no more.
Aii indestructible tablet in the
mother's honor has been erected in
the church. After the service the
body was tenderly and gently laid
to rest beneath the exquisitely
beautiful flowers in the nearby
churchyard by the side of the dear
mother and brother who awaited
his coming.
Mr. Hardaway is survived by his
wife, one daughter, Miss Mary
Hardaway, two sons, Messrs. Glen
nie Hardaway, Jr., and Lawrence
Hardaway, all of Mt. Carmel, fa
ther, Mr. S. E. G. Hardaway, Amity,
Ga.; five . brothers, Mr. Glennie
Hardaway, Sr., and Mr. Doll Harda
way, of Amity, Ga., Mr. Bob Harda
way, of Thomson, Ga., Mr. Alex
Hardaway, U. S. army, at Monroe,
La., Mr. Olen Hardaway, U* S. army,
Hawaii; three sisters, Mrs. Mamie
King and Mrs. R. E. Edwards, of
Amity, Ga., Mrs. Ed. Edmunds,
Thomson, Ga.
Mr. Alex Hardaway was in
hospital in Hot SpWhgs, Ark., when
the news of his brother’s critical
illness reached him, and he tried
to reach here in time but was just
a few hours too late for the fun
eral. We extend to the bereaved
loved ones the loving sympathy of
the community.

Lions Club

Sponsors Local
Boy Scout Troop
The McCormick Lions Club is
undertaking the promotion of a
troop of Boy Scouts in McCormick.
The members of the Club feel that
this is one of the most important
civic undertakings that has been
promoted in some time.
A troop committee consisting of
Wistar Harmon, Walter Strom and
H. C. (Zeke) Brown has been ap
pointed. This committee has se
lected Wm. R. Watson as Scout
master and E. A. Rushton as assis
tant Scoutmaster.
Twenty-eight youngsters are
busily engaged in learning the
Tenderfoot work. One “test” hike
and several meetings have been
held. The Lions are making plans
to provide a permanent meeting
place for the troop. Also a finan
cial drive will be made shortly to
provide funds necessary for the
successful operation of the troop.
The summer plans call for sev
eral overnight hikes, advancement
camporees, and at least one week
of camp in an established Scout
center. The boys are full of en
thusiasm and the Lions say they
are into the program to put it
across. The troop is being pro
moted on a community-wide basis
and is not confined to boys whose
“dads” are Lions.

Loans Made By
Columbia Bank
For Co-operatives
Columbia, May 22.—^Applications
for loans totaling $984,350 have
been received by the Columbia
Bank for Cooperatives through May
9 and its commitments through the
same date totalled $460,350, accord
ing to Alfred Scarborough, presi
dent. This bank is one of the fi
nancing units under the Farm
Credit Administration, serving the
states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It
extends loans only to cooperative
organizations of farmers.
The applications received by. the
bank for loans, Mr. Scarborough
said, cover such products as pecans,
citrus fruits, lespedeza, asparagus,
watermelons, ferns, • truck crops,
fertilizer, etc. They have come from
all four states of the district.
Two types of short term loans are
made by the bank. One is a short
term working capital loan to facili
tate the effective handling and
marketing of farm commodities
and the other short term loan is for
cooperative purchasing of farm
supplies. The third type loan is a
loan for financing the purchase,
construction, lease or refinancing
of buildings and equipment for pre
paring, handling, storing and pro
cessing and marketing fann com
modities or their products.
Mr. Scarborough said that by
paying out working capital loans as
the borrowing organization needs
it, the bank is able to save the
farmers’ cooperative associations
considerable interest charges. If
an association, he said, does not
need the full amount of a loan at
one time, the money is disbursed as
needed and, since the association
pays interest only for the time the
funds are used, the total interest
cost is reduced. At this time the
effective merchandising and co
operative purchasing loans carry a
rate of interest of 3 per cent and
facility loans 4 1-2 per cent per
annum.

Poppies Will Be
Distributed Here
Saturday, May 26
Memorial poppies which the wo
men of the American Legion Auxil
iary will distribute here on “Poppy
Day,” Saturday, May 26th, have
been a means of providing employ
ment to hundreds of disabled World
war veterans through the winter
and spring months, according to
Mrs. C. K. Epting, president of the
local Auxiliary Unit. The little red
flowers have made possible earn
ings of approximately $100,000 for
these disabled men, she stated.
“Making of the ,papq£ poppies
which the American Legion Auxil
iary offers on ‘Poppy Day’ to be
worn in honor of the World war
dead is reserved strictly for the
war disabled," Mrs. Epting ex
plained. “It offers a means of em
ployment to veterans unable to do
other work and mot only brings
them money for the support of
themselves and families, but aids
in their rehabilitation by giving
them beneficial, interesting work.
“The poppies are made in gov
ernment hospitals and in special
poppy workrooms maintained by
the Auxiliary. This year 58 differ
ent poppy making centers have
been in operation in 40 states. Em
ployment is restricted to men un
able to do work of other types of
work and preference is given to
those with families to support. The
paper poppy is used exclusively by
the Auxiliary because its making is
a hand rather than machine pro
cess.
“The best of working conditions
are, of course, provided for the dis-
