Rone died about 7 o'clock last s
Friday morning at the home of a
her mother, Mrs Mary Rone, in *
this place. For more than a year 0
she had been sorely afflicted with
the fatal malady, and during the 11
few weeks just previous to her
death it was seen that the flickering
spark of life could not hold c
out much longer. And while the *
community had for several days *
?
been prepared to hear announcement
of her death, neverthe- 1
less when it did come it ^

carried genuine sadness and
grief into many hearts and homes.

Lancaster, September 6.?Yes- J
erday was a red letter day in the 1
istory of the progressive young \
own of Kershaw. It was the N
ay set apart for the laying of the I
orner-stone of Kershaw's hand- omc
new school building, now earing
completion.J I
The stone was laid with the im- I
ressive Masonic ceremony by \
he Grand Lodge of South Caro- ^
na. Mr. L. C. Harrison, cash- .
zr of the Hank of Lancaster, actd
as Grand Master. About one *
undred Masons participated in I
lie solemn exercises, and the au- 1
lience altogether numbered fif- j
sen hundred persons, your cor- .
espondent is informed.
Mr. E. D. Blakeney, the wcllnown
attorney of Kershaw, preided
over the meeting, introducag
the orator of the occasion, the '
Ion M. M L. Smith, Speaker of
he House of Representatives,
/ho made an eloquent and scholrly
address. Mr. Smith's rclarks
were along the lines of edcation.
He deprecated the tenlency
of the age toward mateialism,
which is causing /the real
nd true educational ideals to be
ept in the background. Educa- I
ion should mean something
aore to a man than its value
iewed from a commercial or
noncy-making standpoint. Even
he artists and sculptors of to-day
re thinking more about what
be products of their labors will
>ring them in dollars and cents
lian they are about immortalizing
hemsclves by comtributing to the
yorld lasting monuments to their
genius and skill. Mr. Smith's
peech was really a fine effort,
nd was greatly enjoyed and apireciated
by his intelligent hcarrs.
It was 5 o'clock in the afterloon
before the exercises of the
lay were concluded.
The school building, which is loatcd
in the northern part of the
own, ii a two-story brick strucure,
costing $10,000, without
:quipment. It is indeed a credit
o the community and will com- (
>arc favorably with any modern ,
chool building in the State.
A visitor to Kershaw can scar- I
:ely realize that the town is only
eventecn ytars old. Starting
rom a barren waste of sand and
crubby "black jacks," it is today
>nc of the prettiest, most attrac
ive and piosperous towns in the ,
itate. The streets are well laid (
iff and the buildings are princi>ally
new and of modern architccurc.
There arc thirty-five brick (
tore rooms and four brick office 1
>uildings in the town, five
ihurches, three white and two
:olored; an oil mill and a bank,
['he town is also equipped with ^
vater-works and electric lights.
The population is about 1,500.
sJo town in the State has a brigher
future before it than has Ker-'
haw.
