She was a member of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church in which she remained a faithful member until death. For about nine weeks she suffered from jaundice, but bore her pain submissively.

The funeral services were conducted at her home in the presence of a large crowd of people, by her pastor. Rev. W. H. Roof. Ail Excellent Selection. We take the following clipping from one of the papers published at Monroe, N. C: "The directors of Monroe High School met July 12th and elected a faculty for the next school year. Prof. S. S. Lindler, of Lexington county, S. C, principal? Maj. L. D. Andrews, Misses Anna Blair, Wilma Griffin assistants; Prof S. Scull instructor in music. The faculty, with the exception of Professors Lindler and Scull are too well known to the people of Monroe to need commendation from us. Prof. Lindler is a a teacher of twenty years experience and is a graduate of North Carolina College. He is highly recommended as a man and as a teacher. Prof. Scull comes with the very highest endorsements and as a. teacher of music is said by those who have been instructed by him to b9 without a superior. We hope that the Monroe High School may have a prosperous year." We gladly endorse all that this paper says of Prof. Lindler and it /vvrtnf vtlftoetifA 4- /x o,l,l tl?of i glVCD US j^icai. pcasuic iu uuu i u IA c heis a high-tone Christian gentleman, of ripe scholarship and possessed of ? excellent business judgment and the school will flauiish under his charge. , At this Season - Of the year there are always many deaths, particularly among children, ; from summer complaint, diarrhoea, ; dysentery, cholera morbus, cramps, i etc., and every one ought to know l that a sure and speedy euro can 3 easily be obtained by taking Perry j Davs' Pain-Killer in sweetened water 1 every half hour.

Griffith, recently elected Superintendent of the State penitentiary was formally opened at Lc-esville yesterdnv. Capt. A P. West acted as master of ceremonies and this bare announcement is sufficent to assure our readers that he performed his duties with his old time promptness and courtesy. There were about lot) voters present and a large number of ladies who leut entrancing beauty and charm to the occasion. Iiev. Mr. Austin opened the ceremonies with a beautiful and appropriate prayer. Col. W. Jasper Talberf, who was present by special invitation, was the first speaker introduced. After exi* i..: i pressing mmstn witii ueiu^utu^uicu with the opportunity of addressing the people of Lexington, he spoke of national i fT iri, and in lit er terms denounced the policy of President McKinley in dealing with the Philippine question. That the tendency of the Republican administration was to interfere with the civil and religious freedom cf a foreign nation. He was opposed to the idea of expansion and colonial government as pioposed by the Republican party. He then paid his attention to the gigantic trust and claimed that their existence was detrimental to the business interest of the country, while the agricultural interest had decreased yet the taxes of the farmers had increased. He favored an income tax so that the rich would bear a portion, at least of the burden of government. He touched on the money question and declared himself in favor of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 and endorsed Bryan and the Chicago platform. He spoke in the highest terms of Dr. J. Win. Stokes and praised the great work he had undertaken in behalf of his constituents. His speech was mingled with wit and humor which kept his audience in a good humor from beginning to end. Congressman J. Wm. Stokea made a lengthy and exhaustive speech on national affair?, covering the main issues engaging the attention of the people of this country. Dr. Stokes is greatly beloved by the people of the county and his appearance is always the signal for a great outburst of enthusiasm. Drs. Brooker and Crosson, and Mr. Wesley Harsey, candidates for the Senate made addresses in which they defined themselves on public issues. We advise the people to turn out to these meetings as it is impossible in our limited space to give anything like a clear position of the candidates on the issues. Mr. A. Frank Lever closed the meeting with a ringing and eloquent speech, which was well received. Hons. D. F. Efird and WT. II. Sharpe were on the grounds. Mr. C. M. Efird, County Chairman, stated that Hon. W. H. F. Rast had not filed his pledge and that he had received a note from him formally withdrawing from the Senatorial race. The next campaign meeting is at C. It. Rish's tomorrow. Week-End Rates. To Sullivan's Island and the Isle of Palms via the Southern.

Tickets sold Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, good to return until Monday afternoon, following date of issue at rate of S3; also tickets are sold Sunday morning, good returning Sunday afternoon at the rate of $1.50. For the benefit of those who go down on the Sunday tickets the Southern Railway has arranged to have its train for Columbia leave at 7 p. m. instead of 5:30 p. m , as on other days of the week, thus allowing ample time for excursionists to enjoy the many attractions of the beautiful Isle of Palms.
