OI.EMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 17
William Williams Long, 73. director

Came upon him November 12 while
actively at the duties of his office
Dr. Long was bom at Wartenton,
North Carolina, July 4, 1381; was
educated at the University of North
Carolina; and served in the legis
lature and in the Internal revenue
service of that state during his
early years. In 1893 he went to
Washington, secured work in the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, rose
steadily, and for 20 years was an
efficient public servant in various
branches of the Department. In
1913 he became director of the ex
tension division of Clemson Col
lege, and in 1914 upon the organi-
mtion of the South Carolina Ex
tension Service he became its di
sector.
For nearly 22 years his high qual-
*y of leadership brought about
freat advances in all lines of agri
culture, putting South Carolina in
the front rank of states for effici-
tncy. Under his leadership par-

Lesson for November 25th.
Matt. 25:14-30.
Golden Text: Matt. 25:21.
Last rites for John T. Walls, who
lost his life last Friday evening
when he was trapped in the store
of W. Frank Lominack, Newberry,
and burned beyond recognition,
were held at the graveside in the
McCormick City cemetery Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 o’clock in the
presence of a large crowd of sor
rowing friends and relatives.
Mr. Walls was 36 years of age and
the son of J. A. Walls, Greenwood, is a significant fact that most
and the late Mrs. Sallie Langley, people do not know how to distrib-
Walls. He was a native of this ute their income. They have no

with flowers, proving to all the,
high esteem in which Mr. Walls was
held.
In addition to his widow, Mrs.
Gertrude Walker Walls, and his
father, J. A. Walls, the deceased is
survived by two brothers and five
sisters, W. A. Walls, Laurens; H. L.

would not
have to beg for financial support.
An abundance of funds would be
available. For instead of present
ing to God a mere pittance, every
one would feel ashamed not to give
a decent part of his income on a
regular basis. St. Paul well stated
the rule of Christian giving when
he said, “Upon the first day of the
week let everyone of you lay by him
in store, as God hath prospered
him.”
Someone has written: “I am a
nickel. I am not on speaking terms
with the motorman, I am too small
to sit in the movies, I am not large
enough to buy a necktie, I am a
small consideration in the purchase
of gasoline, I am not it to be a tip.
But, believe me, when I get into
church or the missionary society, 1
am some money.”
It is plain that the rank and file
are not conscientious in their giv
ing for they fail to take to heart
the Christian principle that we are
trustees, for the time being, of
God’s wealth, and must devote it to
the highest uses. Thus few de
serve the cordial “Well done” of
our Golden Text.

by the University of South Carolina an( j damage estimated at more
than $100,000 was wrought by an
explosion in the downtown section
here early last night.

Frank Lominack hardware store.
The dead are: Jesse B. Mayes,
about 40, a clerk. John T. Walls,
mechanic of the state highway de
partment, and Joe Brown, negro
porter. They were identified by
various articles, their bodies hav
ing been burned almost beyond

the second time this season by a
score of 12-6. and Coach Ernest
Young is receiving congratulations
on the fine performance of his
team.

With some allowance for the ad

since a year ago, the individual
contract signer is being asked to
hold the number of hogs produced

as provided in the 1934 contract.
For complying with these provi

1933 Corn-Hog Terms
Announced By A. A. A,
i
CLEMSON COLLEGE. Nov. 19.—
The corn-hog production contro'
program announced todav by the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis
tration provides for not more than
90 per cent in corn acreage and 90
per cent in hog numbers and for
unrestricted use of acres shifted
from corn. Details of the program
were announced heYe today
through Extension Service officials.
The maximum corn acreage that
may be planted under the 1935 con
tract is 90 per cent of the average
for the two years 1932 and 1933—
that is the same base as was used
in 1934, says the announcement.
This maximum figure represents
an increase of about one-eighth
over the 1934 maximum and will
permit the production of about 250
million bushels over the reduced re
quirements for livestock feeding,*
but this is regarded as desirable in
view of the need for rebuilding
feed reserves.
Individuals can receive payments
on reduction up to 30 per cent be-
to participate in any government
corn loan program that may be
available in the fall of 1935. The
com adjustment payment will be
made at the rate of 35 cents per
bushel of yield estimated for the
number of acres by which the com
land area is kept below the 1932-
1933 average.
