Celebration at Bett:s Academy. Mr. Editor: Will you please allow me space in your paper to say a word about the celebration at Bettia Acadmey. The colored peo ple have celebrated July 4, in dependence day, for 30 years with thousands of people each year. The last celebration which was on Sat urday, July 5th, was one of the most wonderful celebrations in the history of the academy. There were between 7,000 and 8,000 peo ple on the grounds and all were sober which made the day as happy and as pleasant as could bc. Every body seemed to enjoy the day, in cluding the white people present. The writer walked the yard all Friday night and Saturday with a number of others as peace officers. Also white rural officers searched the woods and other places for whiskey and not one quart was found. Again I want say that in the celebration for thirty years there has not been a person killed or seriously wounded on the grounds which is wonderful to say. I pray foi the success of all good efforts madv. by any peoole. W. D. Oliphant. Edgefieid, 8. C. Card From Rev. E. T. Snuggs. The following card was received yesterday from Rev. E. T.

We arrived here last night after a rough pas sage from Dalny, the Japanese port in South Manchuria near Port Ar thur. Glad to be on shore for a night. Had our second spell of sea sickness yesterday. We leave for Shanghai to-night, and expect to reach Hongkong next week. We believe miny are praying for us. Politics 'i China seem to be in a muddle. Yours, E. T. Snuggs. Closes Out Greenwood Store. After the first of August Mr. W. H. Turner will devote his entire time to his Edgefield store, having sold his Greenwood store to a stock company which has been capitaliz ed at $5,000. Mr. Turner's Edge field's friends are delighted to learn of the change, for they believe that it means that Mr. Turner and his estimable family will ultimately re turn to Edgetield to make their home. The volume of business of the Alcazar was steadily increasing but Mr. Turner found that it was overtaxing his strength to manage two stores so far apart as Edgefield and Greenwood, the railroad con nection too between these towns be ing far from satisfactory. Y. W.A. Meeting. The Y. W. A. will meet Monday afternoon July 21, ato o'clock with Miss Helen Tillman. Subject "Home mission heroes." Song, Consecration. Bible lesson, Hebrew 11:1-33.

The town council is having im provements made on the streets near the site of the depot. The hills on Main street and on the street leading toward Trenton are being graded down and the dirt is used to raise the street in front of Capt. Bright's store. The county authorities are aiding with their road plow and scrapes in doing this work. The county owed the town about 90 days work for convicts that the town sent to the chaingang. So in doing this work for tue town Supervisor Edmunds has only re turned work which the county has been due the town for some time. When this work of raising the street opposite the depot and gra ding off the hills on the streets lead ing from the depot is completed that portion of the town will be greatlj improved. Another advan tage to be gained at this time is that the railroad will have to ele vate the new depot in proportion as the street has been raised instead of erecting it in the flat as the old ont was. Mrs. Wates Expresses Profound Gratitude. Mr. Editor: Will you allow me snace in your valuable paper to ex press my gratitude to my friends for their many acts of kindness during my last sickness. Five weeks ago I happened to an accident that has caused me to be a "shut in" since, and during that time not a day has passed that some ' of my friends haven't visited me, which made the time pass so much more pleasantly and they have re membered me in other ways. Not only in the town but so many of my friends in the country have re- 1 membered me by their sweet letters and other ways. To all I want to extend my heartfelt thanks and say that if love and kind wishes can re pay ti. !tn, they are amply rewarded. ? am ?>o glad to be back amoug my lim combe neighbors and they have Ix H so sweet to nie. Surely Lhere are are no better people than the Ed;--field people. We are all anx iously h iping for the recovery of Eileen <?uzts, now Mrs Pat Bus sey, who is lying very ill at her home in Darlington county. She has many friends in her home town. I am hoping to meet the good ladies of the E. B. M. U. at Anti och the last of August. Ah! that little word "hvpe"-how it cheers us on our way. We hope all our days and then die hoping for a Efeavenly home. Mary Wates. July 12, '13. JOHNSTON LETTER. Death of ^ Mrs. C. F. Pechman. Chapter of Daughters of American Revolution Or ganized. Receptions. Mrs. Pechmann, the beloved wife of Mr. Charles F. Pechmann, aud only daughter of Mr. ard Mrs. James M. Turner, died at her home here on Thursday, July 10, at 3 o'clock. For several weeks she had been Bick but had improved, and the sudden change in her condition which resulted in her death was a great shock. By lier death the en tire town has sustained a loss, which to each individual seems a keen personal one, for who knew her but to love her? We have all felt what her friendship meaut. To rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep, was her na ture, and the tenderness of her sym pathy has softened manya trial, and the fullness of her appreciation, added to all our joys. With her, friendship was a gift, and it might be truly said thatthe world was her friend. Nature loved her, for who does not but associate her with lovely, fra grant dowers, which at her touch seemed to grow about her, and like as a flower, beautiful and pure, was this blossom of womankind, which God hath transplanted, where he doth tend Kis own. In the church work, she was al ways found doing the work of her Master for she loved her Lord, and to this work she gave all the strength of Christian consecration. She waB president of the Methodist mission society, and of the kinder garten department, in the Sunday schoo?, and in all the services her voice was to be heard singing the praise of her Master. In other or ganizations, the W. C. T. U. and the D. of C. she was an active work er. The funeral was held on Friday morning at Mt. of Olives cemetery, and was attended by a great con course of sorrowing friends, to pay a last tribute to one they loved aud houored. Au evidence of this was shown by the many floral designs sent, among them being ones from the mission society, W. C. T. U. the D.of C.,the W. C.T.U.at Edge?eld, the L. T. L. and the young woman's club. The interior of the grave was lined with pure white flowers, so symbolic of the body in which it wa* to be the last resting place of. Her pastor, Rev. E. H. Bechham, con ducted the services and the eyes of all were moist, as they stood around the open grave. The pall bearers were Messrs. M. R. Morris, A. P. Lott, J. D. Eid son, M. R. Wright, J. L. Smith, J. C. Lewis, Hilliaiy Grant and S. J. Watson. Besides the husband and parents, are left a daughter, Mrs. J. R. Kelly, of Charlotte, a brother, Mr. M. T. Turner and two aunts, Mrs. Bettie T. Adams and Mrs. Kate Crouch, all of whom were so tender and demoted, and during the last illness administered with such loving and tireless hands. "With soft folded hands, and a peaceful smile on her face, With the beautiful eyes closed to sorrow's dark uight, We laid her to rest for a brief little space, Till we meet and rejoice in the kingdom of light. She has but gone before, '.hough . not often youth leads, Her tempest-tossed spirit has found its release; God, who measures our strength, and who watches our deeds, Has placed as her guardian, thc angel of peaoe." Those from Edgefield who attend ed the funeral of Mrs. Pechmann were Mesdames JJ L. Miras, J. W. Peak, Samuel Craig, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Cogburn and Mr. W. R.
