Mt. 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.

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.

County Agent.
