SUDDEN DEATH OF
MISS KATHLEEN HAYES
Miss Kathleen Hayes, only daugh-'
ter of the late William Clarke Hayes
and his surviving wife. Mrs. Alma
Hayes, died suddenly at 8 o'clock
Wednesday night. She had just eaten
supper and was in the act of get
ting a drink of water when she fell
to the floor, dead, death being instantaneous.
The fall bruised her'
face. She was in her usual health
and spirits up to the fatal hour, although
not having been in the best
of health, suffering from rheumatism
in the chest and near the heart. Her
sudden death, so entirely unexpected
by her mother and brothers, was a
severe shock to them and the community
heard the sad news with sor
row and in sympathy with the grief
stricken mother and her s^ns. It
was a devoted little family, each tak-.
ing a pride in the others. Miss Kathleen
was 24 years of age. She was
a consistent member of Central
Methodist ,chureh and a very pious
Sunday schocl scholar, having the
i?ui ~ ^ ?r :
luaiT^avits uiaciiiuuuii u? 11 evci
ing a single time attending Sunday .
school in thirteen years. What a
splendid record for anyone. She
was good and sympathetic to those
who were in distress.
Besides her mother, she is survived
by two brothers. W. C., and David. ;
The funeral services were conducted
at the grave in Rosemont
cemetery this afternoon, Thursday,'
by her pastor, Dr. J. L. Daniel, the
procession leaving the house at 4:30
o'clock.
The Dallbearers were Nick Merch
ant, eLe McSwain, Clifton Graham,
Otis Bryson, George Rodelsperger
and Dr. J. E. Stokes.
Surrounded by sympathizing
friends at the grave with their gifts
of flowers the departed one, in life
one day ana in death the next, was
laid away. ,

merchant who is a member of the V
organization one week to have a dis- J
play in the windows. The displays
are arranged in the windows of the
chamber of commerce headquarters
and was opened on Monday morning
with a display by the Carolina Auto
Co., and "The New Book Store," to
be followed next week by a display
by Mayes' Book and Variety store,
( and L^F. Paysinger.
The contest feature of the displays
^ is attracting large crowds to view the
, displays and during the few days of
, the <first week it is estimated that no
less than five hundred people have
stopped to "peer" in the windows to ^|||
i see the beautiful things that are on
p display and to copy the letters that j; J
?! are featuring the contest. There is 1
, one letter in each window and the
persons copying these letters each J|
[ week and at the end of the contest
period submit the best wording they fl
'r will be awarded prizes. Rules and fl
. instructions for entering the contest i|fl
are posted in one of the windows. HE
Of course, the letters in the windows
': are to be changed every week, which ||
11 means that persons entering the con- fl
1 j test will have to visit the displays ev- A
| j ery week in order to get the letter. I

company. Among the good things -MM
one can say about it is that it is free.
It is having a good run of advertise- ^
msnts, which shows the liberality and I
patriotism of our merchants. It is A
neatly printed, as is all work sent out J|
by the establishment from which it 1|
is distributed. The reading matter is 11
excellent and the local field is pretty ffl
well covered for the space available. ||
From v/h2t we hoar on all sides the fl
new venture is heartily endorsed by j||
the public, and the Newberry public
is a good judge. Many of our citizens
have been clamoring for a daily pa- 1|
per. Now tha. they have one it is up 1
to the business men to keep it going 1
by their ads. It is a fine advertising
medium. Treat the baby right; it is
