MISS CARRIE COCHRAN
The talented hand of Miss Carrie
Cochran has been stilled by death.
No more will she come to the office to
do cheerfully her day's work. The last

been corrected; and she has mailed
the last number to the readers of this
paper. But it is well to kriow that
what she did, she did well; that those
whom she served, she served faithfully;
that she won the good-will and
the affections of those who knew her
best, and that her life was a message
to the world of right living, duty
well done, and of consecration to that
which was best in life.
She honored the position of the
growing army of young women who
work. She tried and she achieved. In
the days of girlhood when youth looks
to pleasure and is care free and life
seems the happiest, she -assumed
with others the responsibilities of a
home. It was hers in the days of her
1 j A 4-^ a
young womannuuu tu luuus^i </v
sick sister and an aged mother. And
she went about it uncomplainingly?
cheerfully. To them she was a blessing
indeed. js '
But she is gone from amongst us.
The latter years of her life held out
6very promise of great happiness to
her and the devoted sister, whose lives
j were so intertwined that they became'
almost one and the same person. But;
she was not of the world for pleasure, j
Hers was a life of service, and those (
whom she should serve had gone be-'
f?re. She followed them. Her body
rests in Long Cane cemetei*y besides
that of her father and mother and
sister. Her spirit is with the angels of
God. She was a Christian.

home on Magazine street, Thursday
morning, March 11th., at 4 o'clock, in
the thirty-second year of her life. She
succumbed to the after effects of in
I
% fluenza and pneumonia.
Miss Carrie was the youngest of the
children of the late Robert H. Cochran
and his wife Agnes Gilmer Cochran.
She was born at the old home in Long
Cane Township, where she spent her,
childhood. About 1905 her father and
' mother moved to Abbeville .Her
!
father died the next year. Shortly
afterwards she and her sister, Miss
Hannah, became type-setters in the
office of The Abbeville Medium,'
working for Gen. R. R. Hemphill.1
When the Medium was sold to Mr.'
Horton and a Linotype installed,
Miss Hannah became the operator,'
and she soon developed into an ex-J
pert. A little more than five years
ago, when the present owner of the
Press and Banner, took charge of the
paper and installed a Linotype, Miss'
Carrie was offered the position ofj
operator which she accepted, and
which she filled until the time of her'
last illness In that time she set prac-!
tically every line of news matter and
most of the advertisements which
regularly went out to the subscribers'
to this paper.
She was not only a skilled operator
of the Linotvoe. but she became the
chief support of the owner of the
paper. Her knowledge of printing,
her eagerness to serve and her loyalty
to the best interest of those for whom
she labored, as well as her sound common
sense made her the chief reliance
and the most prized adviser in
all matters pertaining to this paper.
Miss Carrie was a member of the
Presbyterian Church She was faithful
in her attendance upon the services of
her church and a valuable member of
the Sunday School in which she took
great interest and whose sessions
she rarely missed.
She is survived by the following
brothers and sisters: Messrs. James S.
Cochran, of Abbeville, J. R. Cochran,
/ . of Charlotte, Augustus Cochran, of
Monroe, Ga., Mrs. W. J. McKee, of
this county, Mrs. T. F. Black, of
Chicago, and Miss Hannah Cochran,'
\
I.
of this city, with whom she lived 1
since the death of her mother some '
? I
years ago. To them the sympathy of(
the whole community goes, and es-j'
pecially to the sister with whom she^ '
lived, and with whom she was so^'
closely associated in the latter years t
of her life.
Funeral services were held in the^1
Presbyterian church this (Friday) J1
morning: at 11 o'clock, conducted by^
Dr. Louis J. Bristow, assisted by( 1
Rev. C. E. Peele. The services were '
simple but impressive. The stores
were closed at the hour of the ser-'
I
vices, and despite the inclement wea-( 1
ther a large number of the people of (
the city turned out to pay their last !
tribute to her memory.
After the funeral the body was laid
to rest in the family plot in Long,?
Cane cemetery. When the grave had '
been filled i? \y$s cohered with a pro-,1
fusion' of SeAfitilful "flowers, typical1
of th^Ufe apctoJiarai^erof the gentle(^
young woman whom so many loved,: ^
and,5y**r>any admired. 11
The following acted as pall-bearers: 1
W. E. Hill, Joe T. Hughes, Walter S. (*

and Wm. P. Greene.

at McCormick, S. C. This cut is sent ?
to the paper for publication purposes 1
by Mr Robt. S. Owens, a prominent 11
attornety of the law firm of Ross and 11
Owens of McCormick. Our people ^
! 4will
be pleased to see a picture of the(
proposed church building at McCor-j ?
mick, our "latest mission child." This(
enterprise is claiming the special attention
of the church just now. Its
publication ought to increase the in -J
terest of our people in the McCormick
enterprise, The churches of the Synod,,

Cashier ' " i ?

Last December Mr. A. S. Kennedy t!
offered his resignation as cashier to *
the board of Directors of the Due v
West Bank asking to be relieved as
scon as a successor could be secured, ^
Mr. B. F. Mauldin, the president, and 0
Mr. Kennedy, the cashier, were ap- .
pointed a committee to nominate a *
successor. At a recent meeting of s
<-1- - 1 J 11.- -C r> 1
UiU UUiliU, Hie IlcUUC Ui X. ivicaoui x .
L. Grier was presented and he was *unanimously
elected. Professor ^
Grier has sent in his resignation to ^
the Board of Erskine College and has ^
accepted the position offered him by r
the bank. He will continue in the col- a
lege until the close of this year. Will e
take up the work,actively the first of
July. In the meantime he will fami- s
c
liarize himself with the work, follow- *ir.g
the close of the college. Prof. c
Grier is a fine master in figures and n
ought to bring a trained mind to the
work which he will soon take up. His a
new position runs somewhat in line *
c
with his former in the chair of mathe- kmatics,
which he has filled so admirably
and to the high satisfaction *
of the Trustees of the College.
Mr. Kennedy retires much to the ^
vpcrrpf nf his fvipnrls of the bank. He 1
has made a signal success of his posi- a
tion as cashier in the bank The bank s
has been one of the most successfully v
managed financial institutions in this c'
part of the country. When the bank *
published what they called an "honor
roll." The Due West bank stood sec- ?
end on the list. The capital is now s
worth $250 per share. During the life t
of the bank it has paid two special
dividends of 100 per cent in ad-;c
didtion to its yearly dividends run-1 %
ning from 8 to 16 per cent.
It is thought that Mr. Kennedy
will not be wholly disassociated from c
the bank, but in easy reach, so that *
his experience and counsel may be
had.He expects to take a well earned
rest. ?A. R. P." j J
