Georgia Man Landed
By Sheriff Corley.
George M. Smith, a white man about
' 30 years old, was arrested at Batesburg
on Saturday by Sheriff Corley
and lodged in the Lexington jail. The
arrest was made upon a warrant issued
by the authorities of Franklin
County, Georgia, charging Smith with
seduction. The crime is alleged to
\ have been committed during the
month of March, 1910.
Smith has been living in this county.
near Samaria, since last summer.
It is understood that the accused admits
having paid some attention to the
young woman named in the indictment,
but denies the seduction charge.
He will be carried.back to Georgia
V , to face his trial.

Half-Way School Closing.'
The Half-Way school, which was
taught by Miss Annie Louise Taylor
of Lexington, closed with appropriate
exercises on the 21st instant. The exercises
consisted of declamations, dia
logues and tableaux, the rendition of
which wis greatly enjoyed by the en*"
tire audience.
After two or three- hundred people
had assembled the curtain was drawn
at 7:30 p. m., and the exercises, as arranged
on the programme, were began.
They were immensely enjoyed
by the audience, and to make the cci
casion more appreciative, there was
' plenty of good music, which was exceedingly
well rendered by Messrs
Kleckley and Lown.
To the delight of the audience, Mr.
M. L. filmier, of Columbia, made a
short address, which was quite appro- ,
priate and well received. He was
- ' V scheduled as the first speaker, bat prex
ceded the valedictory address, which
was well delivered by Master Harry
Lee Klapman.
In conclusion, it may be said that
Miss Taylor did herself credit in [thoroughly
training and instructing her
pupils not only for the closing exercises,
but for the entire session, and
it seemed as if patrons, as well as others,
toot: a great deal of interest in the
accomplisqments attained by the pu<i
pils, which speaks well for the com,
munity. * X.
"How I Got To College."
David U. Bloodworth, a ministerial
student of Leesville College, deliyered
his famous lecture on "How I Got to
College," in the court house on Friday
night. On account of the Half-way
school closing, which took many of
our people away, there was only a
am all rvreHfrnt.
Mr. Blood worth's life-story, as told
by himself, is indeed an interesting
one, arid it should be an inspiration to
every young man who has to struggle
for an education.

to be held in Baltimore May 3-5:
Revs. S. T. Hallman, J. B. Traywick,

Crops Damaged.
The cool weather of the past few
days has considerably damaged the
young and tender-growing crops.
Much cotton has been planted and in
some localities it is coming up. However,
with good weather conditions,
the bulk of the crop will be planted
this week. Small grain is almost a
failure. Especially is this true of the
* oat crop, as the fly, a little insect, has
attacked the crop almost everywhere.
Gary Gist, a 19-year-old negro, was
sentenced at Spartanburg on Friday
f, by Judge Wilson to be hanged the
26th of May for attempted assault.

MEATIL
Mary Ellen, daughter of Henry P.
and Ella Shumpert and wife of W.
Marion Rish, born February 23, 1884;
died April 12, 1911, aged 27 years, 1
month and 19 days. She leaves a father,
mother, two brothers, a husband,
I two children (two children navmg preceded
her to the Spirit world), and a
host of other relatives and friends to
mourn her departure.
She had been sick only about nine
days and the end came as quietly as
if she had drawn the drapery of her
couch about her and lain down to
pleasant dreams.
She was given to God in infancy by
holy baptism. After her marriage
she united with the Florence Baptist
church, of which she remained a faithful
member until death. While we
keenly feel our loss, we do not sorrow
as those who have no hope, for we
know that she will live again in that
land where all is happiness, and where
sorrow and death are unknown. We
I know where to meet her, for she has
gone to that home not made with
hauds eternal in the heavens.
The floral tributes were numerous
and beautiful. The funeral was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. N. N. Burton,
and her body laid to rest by the
side of her two little children in the
Florence cemetery.
It was hard indeed to give you up,
We loved you all too well,
While we are drinking sorrow's cup,
Happy with the saints you dwell.
