Denby Considering Charleston Yard.
\ ???Secretary
Denby of the department
of the navy has asked for all available
data bearing on the Charleston Navy
Yard. an establishment which some
members of congress ardently desire
to do away with.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
asked the secretary to make a study
of the situation, and not to perimt
the destruction of the property unless
for the good cf the country, it
should be destroyed. He pointed out I
the advantage in the development of
ports held by the North over the
South Atlantic coast.
The secretary agreed that in this
matter no politics should be played.1
It was then that he asked that all
data be submitted to him. On his
study, he will base his opinion, and
thus will be decreed the fate of the
Charleston institution.

NEWS FROM ROME.
Remains of Private Sp-Kts Returned
From France and Remterred.
Rome, April 26.?The remains of
Private Eddie Sports. Co. L., 118 infantry,
killed in action somewhere in
France September 1918, was laid to
rest in Union cemetery on Sunday afternoon.
Ex-soldiers in uniform acted
as pall bearers. The funcial services
were conducted by the Rev. G. K.
Way, pastor of Union ctiurch, .vho was
chaplain overseas. Pn.*ace Spoits
was a brave soldier who did his duty
well. He went over the top seven
times. Although, he was campanlively
a stranger in this community, his
parents having recently moved here,
the largest crowd that has evei been
at Union for years paid honor to him
who made the supreme sacrifice.
Mrs. G. K. Way and little daughter J
Harriet, spent several -lay* in Charleston
last week, during that t:me.
Harriet had her tonsils and adenoids i
removed. We are glad that she is
improving rapidly now.
Rev. G. K. Way and iProf. D. H.J
Dantzler were visitors at Hemingway;
Monday. J
A play entitled "Sand", will be given
at Union High school next Friday j
night, April 29th, for the benefit of
the Lyceum course. This will be play-1
ed by local talent with the exception
of one of the leading parts, which will
be played by Mr. Claude M. Melton, of
Columbia.
Prof. 0. M. Mitchell who is teaching
near Gibson, X. C., spent last week
end here. Mrs. Mitchell who has been
spending several weeks here, returned
with him. ,
A disappointed crowd of young
folks in this community listened to
the downpour of rain last Friday
night. A big monlight picnic at
Rhem's landing had been planned and
everybody was ready for a big time,
but instead of the moonlight, the river
and the crowd and last but not
least?the fine supper, they had rain
and more rain.
We are glad that Mrs. D. D. Rhem.
who was operated on for appendicitis,
last week at the McLeod Infirmary
in Florence, is improving as rapidly
as can be expected.
Mrs. H. 15. Floyd has returned to
her home at Floydale after spending
a few days with her daughter, Mrs.
G. K. Way.
Mrs. Fannie Munr.erlyn has returned
from a visit to her daughter, Mrs.
Warren H. Burgess in Sumter.
Mrs. L. F. Rhem ami Miss Halene
Clarke spent Saturday in Charleston.
Mr. Breck Gamble of Tallahassee,
Fla. is visiting D. D. Rhem, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Cary Rollins, Mrs.
Dena Lee and W. C. Rollins, visited
relatives in Lake City Sunday.
We regret that Miss Eleanor Todd
of the Union High school faculty has
been called home on account of sick-1
ness at her home. We hope that she
will be able to return soon. I

The Late Dr. John D. Kershaw

Published by Request)
ere- x0 the Editor of the News and i
ity- Courier Just a short while since I J
o' greeted Dr. Kershaw on the streets J
almost within shadow of St. Michael's,
li st I where he had labored for twenty-five g|
c0^*j years. He was, as always, full of g
life and hope, with no hint on him |
'a>"s' of the great change shortly to be |j
?at'" j manifested.
one As the late lamented Judge Gage
wrote me in his last letter. Dr. Ker- jg
c'es shaw, "with God's sunshine on his g
head and Christ's love in his heart," g
*n" cared naught for the fleshpots of |
gl't earth." g
0?c- His was the pefect love that casteth (j
n out fear. To him creation swarmed _
' 'n with evidence of Christ's living reality j
the and of His boundless love,
was With such a spirit he faced death on ^
?ars the battlefield, and later the stern g
ex" problems of living. It was God's |
world; he was God's servant; what ^
came, whether 01 joy or sorrow, uiuc
from a hand that showered blessing,
and jn whose senice he was not afraid.
,n Such senice is all that remains of
lit" royalty on earth. The tinsel, the trappings.
all that man's superstition an:!
ave vanity had brought together from re'ie5
mote times to advo/tise the outside of
ret" royalty have been stripped away. Few
kings remain on their thrones.
t'10 Kingliness, however, remains. The
jur- great commanding qualities that lifted i
tr.v- one man above his fellows in times j
gone by and enabled him to serve, a* j
no othfcr could serve, either by wis- j
dom or physical strength, the needs of J
in human kind, have merely been shifted i
ess. from the individual to the race. s
oni" Sendee alone is royal, and sen ice I
nee wjth thg Kings of Kings is most royal,
was The De Saussures, the Gourdins an !
ias" the Kershaws, i,n common with their
the kind, have rendered large senice to
humanity in their day and generation.
Following in the wake of his illus- .
trious ancestors, Dr. John Kershaw
01'k- took sendee under the Master and has
ink boueht with his life a place in the
lRk* enduring affection ofhis fellow coun-1
?n' trymen. j|
He walked with God and God has g
e; s' taken him. To us remain an imper- ff
H"a ishable memory and a lovely example I
side grace wrought into deed. ?
e For such a life lent us for a season I
through the merciful compassion of I
God, we thank the Giver of Life, who I
holds us in "the hollow of his hand." 'n?'

Gentleness Aids Live Stock

The practical value of treating live
stock kindly is discussed by a Virginia
1 live stock owner in a letter to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. "All ^
a cattle buyers." he remarks, "know how
, | great is the 'drift' in shipping cattle.
Very little of this loss is due to diges,a^(,

an,'ifear incident to travel.
u,u~ "Keep all live stock as quiet and
i make them as gentle as possible and
' your feeding costs will be noticeably
reduced. Try this suggestion with'
one litter of pigs." 1
"It will abundantly repay any live jg
