Powell has one of the best I equipped repair shops in the state. He also has the reputation among jobbers for using the best material obtainable. Mr. Powell guarantees every job he sends out to give entire satisfaction. In order to do this he finds after many many years of ex perience that it always pays to use strictly number one material, both in wood and in metal. Mr. Powell has equipped his shop with several modern labor-saving machines thai greatly facilitare handling the large volume of work which he receives. Death of Mr. Moseley. After being iii only one week with pneumonia, Mr. Fleming F. Moseley departed this life at his home on Jeter street at 12:50 o'clock last Friday. From the lime he was seized with the stubborn malady un til death relieved his suffering, Mr. Moseley received the closest atten tion from his physician and loved ones but God's plan in his life on earth had been completed and he was called to the spirit land. He was in his 58th year. Mr. Moseley was rational almost to the last breath and repeatedly told those near and dear to him that he realized the end was ap proaching and that' he was fully re signed. He was a member of the Baptist church, his membership being at Grovetown, Ga., where he spent his life, except the six years he has resided in Edgefield. Since coming here Mr. Moseley has made many warm personal friends who recognized in him many sterling qualities. He was quiet and unob trusive in manner, and on that ac count was not really known and ap preciated by people generally. He attended strictly to hts own affairs and did not meddle with the affairs of others. Mr. Moseley is survived by his wife who before her marriage was Miss Sallie Brooks, a daughter of the late James Brooks. The funeral service was conducted at the home Saturday morning by Rev. J. R. Walker and Rev. R. G. Shannon house. The interment took place in the village cemetery. An Unfortuate Homicide. Last Saturday, according to the meagre information obtainable, Price Ripley shot and slightly wounded a negro at Trenton, and not knowing what the outcome of the trouble would be and in order to protect himself, he laid his gun, across the bed in his home where he could quickly lay his hand upon it. Sunday afternoon Miss Bessie Davis picked up the gun to move it from the bed and the gun was dis charged, killing Mr. Ripley instant ly. As the gun was of the hammer less type M?38 Davis did not know that it was cocked, and possibly for that reason was not as careful in handling it as she would otherwise have been. Miss Davis came to Edgefield Monday morning and voluntarily surrendered to the sher iff.She will maka application for bail. 1914 Convention at Edgefield. I The Advertiser announces with pleasure that the .Edge6eld county inter-denominational Sunday school convention will be held next year in Edgefield. The convention which was h ?? for two days last week at Clark's Hill was a very pleasant and profitable occasion. The writer regretted his inability to attend. Edgefield was represented by Hon. B. E. Nicholson and Mr. ' W. B. Cogburn. Merits of the Majes Je Demon strated. A special representative of the manufacturers of the celebrated Majestic range will spend next week at the store of Messrs. Jones & Son I demonstrating the merits of the high-class range. In their advertise ment this week Messrs. Jones <fc Son invite the ladies to call and ac quaint themselves with the Majes I tic.

His Body Reposes in Columbia The body of Mr. John Kennerl y, whose death was announced in The Advertiser last week, now sleeps quietly in the cemetery io Columbia having been buried there last Thurs day afternoon with Misouic honors. For a number of years Mr. Kenner ly was a faithful officer of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. His loyalty and true worth as a Ma son were appreciated by his breth ren, many of whom, some officers of the Grand Lodge, turned out to pay him a last tribute. Permanent Work on Road. The most satisfactory piece of work that we have seen in a long time has recently been done on the road leading to Antioch church near the home of Mr. Hale Holston. A long section of this road has hereto fore been almost impassible during the winter season, being due to the pipe-clay and the collection of water in the low place in the road. When Mr. Walker, the foreman of the re pair squad, reached this place he made a deep ditch several hundred yards in length that thoroughly drains the road, and after doing this he raised the road in the centre which makes it practically impossi ble for it to cut into deep ruts here after. Taking it all in all, this is one of the most satisfactory pieces of work that the county has ever had. Very little will have to be done hereafter to keep this section of this much-travelled highway in perfect order. Permanent work al ways pays in the end. Death of Mr. S. T. Hughes. Trenton again mourns and Edge field's tears are mingled with those of our sister town. The friends of Mr. S. T. Hughes here were greatly shocked yesterday morning when MAJE! MflJE?TK NEVER-I 5TEniTIEi7-Ci7LLEM MEflVY JT?MPZb I KETTLE - ISSZ-flLL 14 CZ rUl-CCPPEI COFFEE P?T- / The special cooking demonstration on the Monday Morning, T_ Sat May 26th 10 M JONES & 50/ the intelligence of his death reached Edgefield. They knew he was con fined to his home bat did not know that he was regarded as an ill man. Mr. Hughes has been one of the foremost citizens of Trenton, com mercially, religiously and socially, for a long number of years. He was the senior wr:den of the Epis copal church and has been looked upon and leaned upon as one of the main supports of his church.: He was a man of exemplary hab its and life. Mr. Hughes was generous and public spirited. When ever any movement or enterprise was begun for advancing the wel fare of his community he could be relied upon to do his full share. For nearly forty years he has been engaged in the mercantile business on the corner where his store is now located. The absence of his familiar form from the Hughes corner will be keenly felt by bis friends from the town and sur rounding country. Mr. Hnghes was a man of few words. He kept his own council to a remarkable degree. He was not given to speaking in an evil manner of his neighbors and fellow men. In conversation, as in his every-day life, he was pure and guileless. If he could not ?peak well of an individual, Mr. Hughes refrained from comment at all His even temper, kindly spirit, charita ble disposition, gentle, amiable manner, constant effort to apply the golden rule in his dealings with men, caused him to be universally esteemed. His life and the influ ences which he has set in operation are a rich heritage to the comnfuni ty in which he has spent his life of nearly 62 years. Surely the high plane which he occupied will be an incentive and an inspiration to those who shall come after him, causing them to look upward and press for ward until the heavenly goal is reached. The funeral will take place this morning at 11:30 o'clock at Ebe nezer church. Mr. Hughes is sur vived by his wife, one daughter, Miss Aldie Hughes, and three sons, J. Gordon Hughes of Union, Henry W. Hughes of Portland, Oregon and S. T. Hughes, Jr., of Trenton. Two Beloved Homesin the Red Hill Community. The W. O.
