ANNIE JOSEPHINE HOWE PASSES TO THE OTHER WORLD -BURIED AT COLUMBIA. President Wilson came to Columbia Monday, for the first time since his inauguration, to bury his only * T u:? sister, Mrs Annie josepmuc nunt of Philadelphia, wife of the late George Howe, M D, of Columbia. Mrs Howe died Friday at New London, Conn. Quietly and sadly, he attended the simple funeral services at the First Presbyterian church, where his father and other relatives have held pastorates, and then walked with relatives to the family plot in the brick walled churchyard and stood with bowed head during the brief committal rites. Afterward he lunched with his party aboard the special train. During the afternoon he called upon his venerable aunt, Mrs Felie B Woodrow, visited the house at 1705 Hampton street designed, built and occupied for some years by his father, and spent three-quarters of an hour at the Columbia seminary, an ancient and honorable institution with which the Wilsons, the Woodrows and the Howes have many associations. Th6 President and his party left ^ Columbia in their special train at 6:15 o'clock Monday evening for the summer White House, Shadow Lawn, at Long Branch, N J. Columbians, with numbers of visitors from other sections of South Carolina, gathered by thousands along the streets to see the President, but they respected his grief and made no demonstrations. During the trip Southward station platforms en route were crowded, but there was no cheering. Flowers were put aboard at several places * by school children. The presidential special, comprising three private cars, a baggage car and a diner, pulled into Columbia at 11:35 o'clock. The platform at the south end of the station had been cleared. The funeral party crossed the platform to waiting limousines and proceeded immediately to the church, via Gervais and Marion streets, une secret service operative rode with the driver of the President's automobile, five others following in cars which bore the other members of the family. A touring car which preceded the motor hearse carried the pallbearers: James Woodrow, fcouglas McKay, McDavid Horton, Julius H Taylor, M D, Reed Smith and Joseph Hyde Pratt. After lunching aboard their train at 1:15 o'clock, the President, with Mrs Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson, Just Through I Loa RAN -? Look At Thei Pure The King Hard "The Popular I ? Kingstree, - Ik Joseph R Wilson of Baltimore and the White House physician, Cary T Grayson, M D, set out in an open motor car to visit some of the scenes of his boyhood. The party stopped at the norrneasc corner ox ouma-i and Washington streets in order that the President might call upon his aunt, Mrs F B Woodrow. She welcomed him as "Tommy" an^ remarked to Mrs Wilson: "Since he took to writing books he calls himself Woodrow." Mrs Woodrow attended the burial service. Thence the party proceeded to 1705 Hampton street, premises owned now by J M VanMetre. Mr and Mrs Wilson got out in order to inspect the dwelling, which Joseph R Wilson built and in which the family resided during the four years (1870-74) (in which the elder Wilson was a member of Columbia seminary faculty. Several boys were playing about the house Dr Grayson asked one of them if he expected to be President. "I don't know/' the boy said. "I wouldn't wish anything like that on you," the President struck in. Afterward the President visited 1531 Blanding street, a dwelling on the northwest corner of Blanding and Pickens streets, which was built by the Rev George Howe, D D, and in which the President's late sister and her husband, the late George Howe, M D, lived for some years. Fortyfive minutes were devoted to an exploration of Columbia seminary, after which the President's party drove out to the ruins of Millwood, a country seat of the Hamptons, burned by Sherman's army in 1865. Returning to his train, the President received several relatives and chatted with newspaper men for a few minutea. Some hundreds of sympathetic persons had gathered to speed him on his way. As the special pulled out the President appeared on the observation platform and bowed. His face was graver than usual. At the President's own request, State and city officials omitted official recognition of his presence, but the flags on the State house and * 1 1 J* ? mooforl otner Dunumgs wcic nan ukw^u. Merchants had offered to close their places of business and drape their buildings, but these formal marks of respect were also omitted in deference to the Presiden't wishes. The people behaved with perfect propriety, baring their heads as the funeral passed and keeping a reverlent and respectful silence.? Col urn. bin State. A bargain is not merely low price.

The Imperial Tobacco Co, which is ! already working about seven hun dred hands, is now advertising for a thousand. It is said that the plant here is proving such a success that the company will ship in their leaf tobacco from North Carolina mar| kets to be cleaned, stemmed, redried and prepared for export. The weekly payroll of this company is turning loose thousands of dollars in this section, and ought to help trade very much. A right big deal was completed last week, we understand, when the Deep River Lumber Co bought the Graham timber. This is perhaps one of the finest bodies of timber remaining in the country, and no doubt commanded several thousand dollars as the purchase price.
