Calhoun, of this city, died at 6:16 o'fclock Tuesday af ternoon at the Columbi a hospital, fol- - lowing a three weeks* illness. She had boon at th« irstitution one week, hut medical aid was of no avail in saving her life. While not unexpect- . ed. the ne.ws cf her death brought so: row to scores of friends here who had hoped agairst hope that the hand of the Grim Reaper would be stayed and that nhe would lie spared for many more years of devoted and un selfish service to her family, friends, church and community. Mrs. Calhoun, who was 41 years of age, was, before marriage. Miss Marie Latham of Little Mountain in New berry County, where she, spent the early years of her life. Following her marriage 17 years ago, she moved to Barnwell, where she has lived since that time, endeming herself to all with whom she came in cortact by her devotion to her family and loyal ty to her friends. Mrs. Calhoun, who was educated at Winthmp College, was # member of the Church of the Holy Apowtle^ of this city and was very active in church work. For years she has taught a class in the Episcopal Sun day school here and was also an act ive -worker in the. Barnwell chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo lution. Her body was brought back to Barnwell yesterday (Wednesday i or. the noon train, the funeral services being conducted at four o’clock in the afternoon at th? Episcopal Church by the. rector, the Rev. Howard Cady. ‘Interment followed in the churchyard - and the mK#y soriowitg relatives ami friends who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to her memory anti the large number of beautiftil flowers that covered her last resting place were touching testimonials of the love- sind esteem in which she was held by all who kr.ew her. Surviving Mrs. Calhoun are her hus hand, Mr. Lonnie M. Calhoun, and one son, McTyre Calhoun; her mother, Mrs. J. B. Lathar, of Newberry, four sisters, Mrs. H. G. Vnndivere. of Can ton, Ga., Mrs. Ciaig, of Lancaster, an | Mis. Lula Merchant and Miss Toy Luthan, both of Ct^lumbia- and "one brother, Mr. Claude F. Lafchan, of Newberty.

The teams were very, evenly matched and few first downs were made by either 'eleven. Williston-Elko has a fast team and this probably counts for the numerous off-sides of which they were, guilty. Some of the spectators contended that the players s^ere off side in a majority of the plays run during the contest and the failure of the officials to impos? the penalties “in such cases made and provided” may have figured in the result. Eath team was penalized one time for five yards’ for this offense, while BarnweU was also penalized 50 yards for “dipping ." At another time a Wil- liston lad jn football uniform walked half-way across the field during the progress of the game without draw ing the usual penalty, ft is believed however, that the failure ti impose penalties was due to the inexperience and lack of familiarity with the rules on the pait of the officlkls, rather than ft) ary intent to show favoritism The game was delayed a times by wrung 1 - Boylston came down from Columbia Monday to visit her daughter, Mrs. Virgil Nevils.
