Carmel, April 20.—The many relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Smith Scott were shock ed and grieved Monday evening to hear of the passing of Mr. Smith Scott at his home here about 8:30 o’clock Monday even ing. While Mr. Scott had not been , well for some days, but not until Monday morning did his condition become so critical. Mr. Scott was 45 years of age ; and was the fourth son of the late Mr. John R. Scott and Mrs. Lula Smith Scott. Bom and rear ed in a Christian home, he united with the Presbyterian church in boyhood days, and was always true to his church and his Lord. Mr. Scott was a man of unusual fine personality, a kind lovable disposition and best of all, he loved his fellowman. His kindly nature and love for men made him especially useful in his church, his business find his com munity. Always at his post of duty, he greeted friends with a cheerful and bright smile, he was the ideal man who will not soon j be forgotten by the many who were recipients of his kindness. He will be sadly missed. In his passing McCormick County has lost a fine citizen, and Mt. Carmel and the poor and needy have lost a true friend. ! Mr. Scott was married in Dec. 1915 to Miss Eula Simpson who survives him. Other survivors are one sister, Mrs. J. J. White, Mt. Carmel, S. C., four brothers, Mr. Joe T. Scott, Beaufort, S. C., Mr. Morris Scott, Augusta, Mr. W. A. Scott, Mt Carmel, three nephews and one niece. | Funeral service was conducted in the Presbyterian church Tues day at'4 p. m. by his pastor, Rev. A. L. Doty, assisted by Rev. E. F. Gettys, in the presence 6f a very large number of sorrowing rela tives and friends, and a little later, the body was laid to rest in the Mt. Carmel cemetery beneath a mound of exquisitely beautiful flowers, the silent tributes of love. W. W. Harris, funeral director.

A distinctive, two-color air mail stamp will be issued by the United States Post Office Department as a special recognition of National Air Mail Week, May 15 to 21, which will be the greatest effort in the history of this service to increase its effectiveness and popular support. An announcement today, at National Air Mail Week state headquarters here by State Chair man Dixon D. Davis said this stamp will be symbolic of the Air Mail and should be highly desirable for the many thousands of collectors who will send and receive letters on the special flights that week. Chairman Davis said he has been informed by Postmaster General Farley that this stamp will be of six-cent denomination, the same size as the commemora tive issues. The border, of dis tinctive Air Mail design, will be printed in blue and the central design will be in red. This design will depict an eagle with out stretched wings, bearing in its talons a shield, olive wreath and a bundle of arrows. Numerous ornamental details have been in cluded in the over-all design. This stamp first will be placed on sale May 14, at Dayton, Ohio, which is the horpe of the Wright Brothers, who built the first suc cessful airplane, and at St. Peters burg, Florida, where the first pas senger flight was made. On the following days of Air Mail Week, tVis stamp will be on sale at many thousand^ of Post Offices throughout the United States. ‘•The National Air Mail Week Committee regards as particularly thoughtful the cooperation that the Postmaster General and the Department are giving by the is sue of this new stamp,’* said Chairman Davis. “While the Air Mail Service is essentially a prac tical activity for the benefit of our Nation’s business and society, there remains a certain romance and sentiment in this service, just as there is at once sentiment and practical purpose in our National defense activities. Of course, the realization is general throughout the Country that aviation is es sential to our national defense, but it also is true that the still further development of the peace time Air Mail Service will increase our national solidarity and safety.” The National Air Mail Week Chairman pointed out that hun dreds of privately-owned airplane,! will take to the air, piloted by their owners, on May 19 to pro vide a special pick-up Air Mai’ Service which will extend into ? great number of communitier which now are remote from uh^ regular transcontinental air mail lines. He reported that the private fliers are cooperating with enthu siasm in the preparations for these special flights. “This will be a contribution of their time and service to the Air Mail Week pro gram and by this cooperation which will provide one of the out standing features of the week, the aviators are showing an admirable spirit of loyalty not only to the Post Office Department but also to the great cause of aviatior progress,” said Chairman Davis. He explained that these special flights, over routes that are being mapped by the State Chairman ir each of the 48 states, will demon strate the speed and efficiency of the Air Mail in “a most impressive manner to communities far dis tant from the regular routes.” Also, the State Chairman said, these special routes for the “pick up service” that day will present a great objective for the further expansion of the net-work of reg ular lines. “It is not unreasonable to expect that in the course of a relatively few years regular flight will be made over many of these pick-up routes, thus giving to a much greater part of the Nation’s population the numerous benefits of the Air Mail,” he said. 1937 Applications for Grants for j McCormick County that have been signed were sent into the State Office Friday, April 15th. The 4 per cent additional acre age allotment has been mailed but to those farmers entitled to this increase. Farmers not receiving cards, their acreage remains the same. Regulations covering dis tribution of this acreage of farms measured reads as follows: “N* farm shall receive an acreage al lotment below 50 percent of the acreage planted to cotton in 1937 plus 50 percent of the acreage rented for 1937.” Those cases in the County where 24 percent Of the crop land acreage was below 50 percent of the planted and rented acreage in 1937 received additional allotments. On non- signed farms in 1937, the allot ment to plant in cotton shall ndt be greater than 40 percent of the crop land acreage. For farmers now working dif ferent land from that they work ed in 1937, please let the County Agent’s office know so that oar records may be kept straight. Alsq, all farms applying for soil build ing payments and planting xm cotton should give this informa tion to the County Agent’s office by April 30th. R. D. Suber, County Agent. xx / Much Interest Being Manifested Here In National Air Mail Week The postoffice department is sponsoring the National Air MuM week from May 15-21 and muck interest is being manifested here in this event which in part com memorates the twentieth anniver sary of regular air mail service in the United States.
