She was removed at once to La hospital and given medical attention, but died this afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, without recovering con. sciousness. The body was taken to a local undertaking establishment and f made ready for shipment to Blackstock. Rev W S Hameter of Blackr stock, the husband of the dead woman,arrived in the city to-night, accompanied by several friends, and the body will probablv be taken there . to-morrow for burial. In the car at the time of the accident were Miss Olive Robertson, daughter of Mr Caldwell Robertson, . a girl friend and the negro chauffenr?Horace Jones. The automobile 'S.haJ' just turned into Main street, about opposite Smith's drug store, ; when Mrs Hameter,just at this spot, * alighted from a hack and in an en deavor either to dodge some vehicle or to catch a street car. ran in front of Mr Robertson's car. The force of the contact threw Mrs Hameter to the sidewalk.her skull being crushed in by the blow. > Hameter's husband is pastor OT^he Presbyterian church at Blackst^k and the news of the terrible ^yyident was learned with horror by 'the people of this city. In addition to the husband several children survive. Mr and Mrs Hameter only recently removed to Blackstock from North Carolina. - The negro chauffeur, Horace Jones,immediately surrendered himself and was locked up in jail. An inquest over the body of Mrs Hameter will be held to-morrow morning \at 11 o'clock by Coroner R D 'Walker. Mr Robertson said that to-day was the first time his car had been out on Main street during Fair week,and h#-fcid kept it off in order to avoid justsuch accidents as happened. He says that be did not even take it to the Fair grounds on account of the crowds. Mr Robertson says that his Eis a careful driver and he him instructions to be ex1 this week. lie Hameter was a daughter of the late G S Cooper, of the Indiantown section of this county, and was a most lovable young woman. Her tragic death is a shock to f her large circle of relatives and If,friends in town and county. LaVer?The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death by being run over by an automobile driven by Horace Jones,a negro chauffeur. Jones was held and committed to jail charged with murder. There is little danger from a cold or from an attack of the grip except when followed by pneumonia, and this never happens when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. This remedy .has won its great reputation and extensive sale by its remarkable cures of "colds and grip and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. For sale by all dealers.

Ttie State FaIr-?-A Birthday Party ?Personal Mention. Andrews, November 6:?Quite a number from our community visited ! the State Fair last week, among | whom were: Messrs J L McCants and two sons, J P Elliott, H E Wilson I and two daughters and W S Camlin. ! Everyone seems to have had a fine time on the trip. In our opinion this is one of the best fairs ever held in our State. The stock exhibits were exceptionally fine, especially hogs and cattle. The live-stock sold at fancy prices under the hammer; we saw hogs of medium size bring $60 to $70 a head. The machinery ex- j hibits were unusually fine, there be ing a great display of farm imple- f ments and labor-saving devices. Only : one thing needed. Brother Farmer? I get the stumps out of your fields and try to raise a little cash to | equip your farms with the up-to-: ! date machinery. The improvements! along this line within the past two ! years are a little short of marvellous.; ; I Just a word as to Columbia's tak-i . i ing advantage of those who visit the city. While attending the Fair I saw men have to pay as much as $4 for a very common bed-room and j $1.50 for a meal, and very poor fare at that. Such a spirit of greed and graft in our Capital City is what helps to keep down the growth and regards the progress of the entire State. If the Fair association would ; take the matter in hand and provide! ! comfortable lodging rooms, or tents, i even, at the grounds, the visitors to the Fair could cut G)lumbia out of the programme, which would be a good thing for the visitors to be able to do. We are glad to report Mr Sam Wilson improving from his recent illness. A good lot of improved stock ex* hibited at the Fair has been distributed over this community. We are glad to see farmers around here preparing for raising improved live stock and poultry. Little Miss Gussie Camlin gave a party one day last week, celebrating her twelfth birthday, to which quite a number of her young friends were invited. Dainty refreshments were served, consisting of cocoa and cake, and the time passed very agreeably from four to six o'clock p. m. Many handsome and valuable gifts attested the esteem in which the hostess is held by her youthful friends and associates. Subscriber. fsTs, H I If you \ J I at barg 1 I son's Si J I where 3 jj s. S.
