NICK LONGWORTH PASSES AFTER A BRIEF SICKNESS Death Comes to Prominent Statesman at Home of Friend in South Carolina. Funeral Services Held in Cincinnati. A Son-in-law of the Late President Theodore Roosevelt. Widow Survives. Aiken, S. C.?Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House and one cf the most fascinating figures in American statesmanship, died of pneumonia last Thursday morning. The ol-year-oid Congressman had fought a valiant battle, aided by Mrs. Lon&worfch.?"Princess Alice" to I minions. The end came in a southern spring time at the colonial home of the James Curtis' after a three-day : jsuTro o_v nneiirnonia. II FurJsjSfal services were held at 2 p. m. Saturday at Christ Episcopal I Church. Cincinnati, where liis liodyj was taken direct from Aiken. There was rto -tate funeral. Mrs.? Long worth expressed a desire that' there be simplicity in the burial ar-l range meots. j With him when he died was fiis(T wife, the former All Co Roosevelt.! * whose adventures as '"Princess Alice" when her father, the immortal Ted- t ?iy. was president. had excited the t nation. .She reached his bedside on Wed- f nesday after it had been learned her t husband's condition was serious." il From the time she arrived until his Jo death, she nevei left the house of! ii Mrs. Jan les F. Curtis, of Washing-|o ton. where the speaker was stricken, v She saw few* visitors before her bus- a band's death, and afterward she de- s nied herself entirely. J ^ Her in others, Archibald and Ker-jf wit; were unsuccessful in the race by piane, failing to reach their broth- h er-in-iav's bedside before he died. i Governmental officials* including s President Hoover, attended the fii-j i heral services. The President took ' a special train from Washington to ! pay inuute- tbf- one of- ln<- ouUtuTid- v ing Republican leaders. j :i Mi. Longwovth was bom in Gin- c cir.nat: in 1800. He overcame the oh- t stacle of wealth to reach the post- *i lion of power in political circles. t For several years, after finishing his work in Congress, he had been c coming to Aiken to recuperate. Thisp ,::-Zre.SLY he made- another visit to thejl Curtis home, and soon after reach- f ing the winter resort he developed B a colt!. | : The cold was not thought serious first, and ho .'physician-was called until Monday afternoon. A Ctinl&ulia-}. tior was held by vphysicuihs,, Monday: j night and ift was then determined' that he had pneumonia. j ^ Musi Improve Soils By Using Legumes!1 Poor so'lW is the principal factor 1 in NbvthyCarolina's low standing in : _] the profitable production of cotton ! and tobaccp.

S^Dr. Winters believes. Farms must, be J! terraced, and a large acreage planted]-J to legumes. These will not, only pro- J tect the soil but will rebuild it A two year rotation with corn andj* cow peas followed by cotton the sec-, . one year and crimson clover planted j' ; after the cotton for winter growth; was conducted for nme years at the!: Upper Coastal Plain Station nearjt Rocky Mount. The average for thej t nine years showed a year yield of J r 381 more pounds of seed cotton an:t acre than where corn and cotton I i were grown in the rotation without) t legumes. The corn also gave a r.inei. bushel increase per acre as.compared! with the fiehl where no legumes were used. Even at present low prices,. these increases due to a legume in) the rotation is worth approximately! S23 an acre. Even better results were secured at the Piedmont Station near Statesville where red clover was included in a rotation of corn and wheat, Dr. Winters says.
