On last Sabbath, October 4, the monuments of the lamented James Parker McDonald and James Ernest Kay were unveiled in the .cemetery at Westminster by the Woodmen of the World, with ceremonies, consist ing of songs, music by the Woodmen band, addresses, etc. In the proces sion, which marched from the hall to tho cemetery at 2.4 5 p. m., were members of tho Woodmen Camps from Toccoa, Fair Play, Townvlll? and Seneca. Probably fifty people were here from Toccoa. Addresses were made by O. S. Marett, of West minster, and Senator J. R. Earle, of Walhalla, the former speaking at the Kay grave and the latter at the grave of McDonald. "I Can Trust" and "Rock of Ages" were Impressive ly and beautifully rendered by the male quartette in the order named above. The malo quartette was composed of Capt. W. E. Choswell, Profs. Brockman, Co* and Durham. There are three separate bands in town-the Citizen's Band, the Ches woll Cornet Band and the Woodmen Camp Band. This was tho first pub lic appearance of the latter, and they made a fine impression in the rendi tion of the sacred music. The mem bers of Westminster Camp, Woodmen of the World, No. 4 2, were a flue looking body, dressed In their uni form? and wearing their regalia. It ls said that 1,500 or 2,000 people witnessed the ceremonies. Last night, October 5, at 9 o'clock, the Westminster Volunteer Fire Co. was permanently organized. The following officers were elected: G. W. McConnell, chief; S. C. Moon, captain; W. G. Cartledge, first, lieu tenant; O. S. Marett, second lieuten ant; Robert G. Parker, secretary and treasurer. Tho membership is com posed of J. H. Carter, J. K. Dillard, William Dillard, Ben Simpson, Ho mer Breazeale, G. O. Simpson, G. S. McDonald. Jackson Williams, L. Q. Marett and A. Johns. They already have pick axes, hooks, ladders, buck ets, etc., and it ls their intention later on to get a chemical engine. This ls a commendable step on the part of our young friends. They have the backing of the town authorities, and we bespoak for them the encourage ment of our citizens. We regret to learn that the condi tion of T. D. Pooro ls very much worse at the time of this writing. His daughter, Mrs. J. F. Geer, who returned to Anderson week before last, was called again to his bedside yesterday. The building formerly used by tho members of tho Christian denomina tion as a house of worship has been torn down by J. & J. S. Carter. It was built 34 years ago and might be considered one of the land-marks of the town. The material will be used In tho construction of a house In th* section that will later on be known as "Easlmlnster." It Is the College for Women, Co lumbia, Miss Maud Simpson ls at tending, Instead of Lander College, Greenwood, as lt appeared last week. We made the mistake. We don't know how to account for these mis takes unless, like your valued Seneca correspondent, we get in a bad hu mor sometimes. A number of ladies attended the millinery opening of Mrs. R. Calls way & Co. on last Thursday and Fri day. The Arm displayed a very se lect and up-to-date line of everything kept In a millinery store. The show cases, windows, etc., looked pretty and lovely with the seasonable and lashionable goods, and the throng of people apparently viewed them with admiration. We incidental^ "dropped in" on Friday for the pur pose of seeing, so we could embellish when we came to muke mention of the opening, but we are naturally so "green, dull and ignorant" about millinery that we are at a loss for proper words to use. One thing we noticed, however, and that was some of the customers were already wear ing such brond hats that the door was a little too narrow for them to get lu without the edges of the hat touching on both sides. There will be communion service* ?n the Presbyterian church next Sab bath. October ll, at ll o'clock in the forenoon. Preparatory services will be held on Thursday evening, 8th In stant, at 8 o'clock. Cotton market, 8 % to-day. On September 22 there was a key to some one's home left on the show case In the store of M. S. Strlbllng, which they can get by culling there. Notice to patrons who have pupils to enter first grade: After Monday, October 20, 1908, pupils as beginners will .not be enrolled as pupils of tho Westminster Graded School. This action was taken by the board of trustees and principal last Saturday afternoon. The reason for this is thnt to permit pupils to enter as be ginners at any time during the ses sion the first grade teacher will have five or six grades instead of one grade. Parents who have children ready for first grade will please take note of this fnct and govern them selves accordingly. Stop and think and you will see the necessity for this ruling. Mrs Jessie DuRant, of this place, has been duly elected supernumer ary teacher for the Westminster Graded School. Mrs. DuRant bought the W. C. Peden property some time last winter and moved here from the Georgia side three weeks ago. Her maiden name was Miss Jessie Parker. She is a sister of Mrs. Levis Knox, who lives near South Union. The High School literary society is holding very interesting and In structive meetings every Friday af ternoon from 12.45 to 1.46 o'clock. The debates are excellent. Dr. W. J. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harbert and family and Mr. Cobb were in Atlanta last Wednesday. Hon. J. R. Earle and S. C. Wither spoon, of the Oconee News, made a flying visit to Westminster Sunday afternoon, took in the unveil ag core monies nnd paid us a pleasant call. Mr. Witherspoon was one of the compositors of the first newspaper started at Westminster and ls' re membered by many of our citizens lt had been some twelve or fourteen years since he was in Westminster and of course ho noted changes and improvements on all sides. Milton, the little slx-months-olc1 babe of ~Tr. and Mrs. Joel H. Barker died last Thursday night and itf body was burled at Hopewell eenie tery on the following day. The chile had the whooping-cough, which de veloped Into pneumonia a few dayi before its death. The parents hav? the sympathies of many friends ir their sorrow. J. W. McGee went to Batesburg or September 2 5 In answer to a messag< telling of the death of his sister Mrs. E. W. Ware. He returned oi September 28th. Born, unto Mr. and Mrs. John A Terrell, on October 2, a son. J. H. Winter, of Bowenville, Ga. spent Saturday and Sunday with hli sister, Mrs. Julia McDonald. Miss May Hamilton, one of Seneca'i popular and accomplished young la dies, spent a few days last week witl Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Moore. The pupils from the 4th grade t< the 10th grade of tho Graded Schoo have organized literary societies ant are doing good work. Regular teach ers' meetings are held semi-monthl; by the teachers of the school. Mc Murray's "The Method of the Reel tatlon" is being carefully studied. On last Friday afternoon quite ni interesting debate came off at th High School. The subject was, "Re solved, that man's eloquence is mor powerful than woman's tears. Speakers for the affirmative wer Frank Anderson and Leo Strlbllng negative, Misses Bessie Foster an Mary Harrell. Both sides mad geiod arguments, but the affirmativ won. Miss Bonnie Freeman will retur this week from a visit to u. famll of her brother, S. B. Freeman, o Atlanta. T. W. Ballenger is in Dickens. Miss Myrtle Miller, a charmin little lady of Lavonia, Ga., ls visli lug her sister, Mrs. C. B. Vaughnn. Miss Ruby Crawford and Clarenc Cole were married a few days ago. Rev. Geo. R.

Doyle Hack in Seneca-Mat tors of Local Interest. Seneca, Oct. 6.-Special: To-mor row will be a great day la Seneca. Gentry's dog and pony show will be here In all its advertised glory, and the Woman's Missionary Union will open with a large reception at the home of Mrs. C. V. McCarey. (The combination, by the way, ls trying some folks' souls.) This afternoon at the Baptist church the annual social meeting will be held. After the business ls dis pensed with an hour of social Inter course will follow, and refreshments will be served. We regret a mistake in the Hst of prizes offered by the merchants. The box of raisins should have been cred ited to Livingston & Co., and a bot tle of olives to J. Q. Adams. We take pleasure In correcting the error. The cool nights and hot suns are bringing on the chrysanthemums at a most satisfactory rate, and In a few weeks they will be in all their glory. Since our last letter it has been suggested that a program of music would add greatly to the flower show, and the arrangements have been left to Mrs. S. K. Dendy, Jr. Dr. E. C. Doyle and Bright Lowery are In Seneca again. We had hoped to Interview the doctor for the bene fit and pleasure of your readers, but as yet we have not been able to. He has not said as much, but we are sure that, as David Copperfield said, under the spell of his infatuation for Dora, the "sun shines here just a lit tle brighter, the birds sing sweeter, the sky looks bluer, and the wind sighs gentler!" than he has found anywhere in his extensive travels. Wilton Earle left yesterday for At lanta to resume his studies in phar macy. Misses Annie Verner and Eloise Strother, of Walhalla, attended the millinery openings here last week. There ls a treat in store for thea ter-goers on the 14th Instant when Victor's Venetian Band will be here. There will be only one performance -a matinee at 3.30 p. m. This is one of the best entertainments sent out by the American Lyceum Union, there being twenty-two members of the band and a lady soloist. The concern will be well worth the pa tronage of the public. M. V. S. '.tenis from Ramsay's Creek. Ramsay's Creek, Oct. f>.-Special: Picking cotton and making sorghum is the order ol' the day. To say that the farmers have been raising cane don't necessarily mean that they have been troublesome. The smoke may be seen curling up from the furnaces, which shows that the people are trying to raise their hog and hominy and molasses at home. Hamj)ton Red spent Saturday night with his relatives, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Floyd, on Chauga. Itaught Brown and family, of the Holly Springs section, were visiting relatives here recently. Miss Lillie Roach, of near West minster, spent Sunday with relatives here. A very large crowd attended the regular services at Pleasant Hill on Sunday. Col. J. S. Floyd had the pleasure of lifting a large fish out of Chauga last Saturday, measuring fifteen Inches in length. He expresses his opinion that there are some weighing twenty pounds, and that he, is going to try his luck for them. See the bright October moon? 'Possum hunting now in tune; Skunks and tomcats-they abound, But dear Mr. Possum's hard to be found. -W. I. D. Cnrd of Thanks.

Mrs. R. hi. .Mason, of Charlotte, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Bibb. Her many friends nre delight ed to welcome her on a visit to her former home. She will probably con tinue her visit to Fairburn, Ga., to spend a whil.o with her daughter, Mrs. Dr. C. B. Floyd. FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY. The Champion Cotton Picker-Notes of Personal Interest. Fair Play. Oct. 5.-Special: Our section of Coonee can furnish the champion cotton picker In the person of Murray Kay, son of Charlie Kay, who lives on lands formerly owned by S. P. Stribling, one of our most prosperous farmers. Murray picked 500 pounds of cotton one day last week and 400 pounds on the day before, making 900 pounds in two days. Now who can beat this? The question naturally arises, if Murray can pick 90? pounds of cotton in two days from one-half a crop of cotton, how much could he pick from a full crop In tho same length of time? Mrs. K. W. Marett, of Westmin ster, and Miss Anna Marett, of our town, attended the millinery opening at Anderson last week. The friends of Mrs. T. R. Harris will be sorry to learn that she is still unable to circulate among us. Clinton Harris has returned to the Citadel, where he will resume his studies.

Dobbs and sister and Master Will Dobbs Watson were the guests of Mrs. Hugh Dlbb, of West minster, last week. The friends of Mrs. A. T. Thomp son are sorry to learn that she is still confined to her bed. We think there can be heard the faint chime of wedding bellB near us. Frank Sheldon, of Westminster, was among homefolks Sunday.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 5.-The pro- | clamation that Bulgaria is an inde pendent kingdom was formally mnde at Tirnova to-day. Prince Ferdinand and his cabinet are reported to have acted in com plete harmony in the declaration of independence. The cabinet promul gated the declaration and Prince Fer dinand immediately ?t<?ned the docu ment, the text of which has been tel egraphed to all the European chan cellories, but it is being withheld from the public pending replies from the various governments. This delay is being utilized by rushing tho completion of Bulgaria's military plans. Turkey will meet Bulgaria's dec laration of independence with an armed force immediately upon the receipt of the message that Bulgaria has thrown off the Turkish suzerain ty. Turkey has 150,000 troops avail able for duty on short notice, but mobilization here of the entire fight ing strength approximately 1,000, ?00 would require at least two nonths. Tho blow struck at the Kaimll ministry to-day makes it nothing short of Imperativo that n new consti tution be Incepted if the present plans are carried out. Events up to to-day and the future arrangements all tend to indicate that a condition so chaotic will arise that the new constitution must be made at once. The eyes of all Europe center upon the individual governments for uni versal action, probably a joint con ference. Many Bulgarian towns were plac arded to-day with the declaration that now ls the time to strike for freedom. The conference of war ministers and chiefs of staff was followed by telegram? sent through the whole of Bulgaria ordering tho immediate mobilization of ali available soldiers, and it ls expected to have an army of at leaat 840,000 ready for the field within three days. Prince Ferdinand Is now In con ference with the representatives of foreign banks relative to financing thc war. Govciiior Ansel to Speak. Greensboro, N. C., Oct. 4.-The National Peace Congress, to be hold lin connection with the annual meet ing of the North Carolina Peace Society and the centennial celebra tion of the founding of Greensboro, ?will meet in this city October 12 to I 16.

Laurens, Oct. 2.-"Guilty of man - slaughter, wlih a recommendation to the mercy of the court," was the ver dict written and handed in at ll o'clock this morning by tho Jury in the Garrison murder case, and a sen tence of two years at hard labor In the State Penitentiary was imposed by Judge Memminger this afternoon after he had overruled a motion for a new trial by Mr. Featherstone, of counsel for defense.

STALVEY IS A RIGAMIST. Atlanta Man Convicted of Having; Two Wives. Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 6.-After n highly sensntionnl trial of three days. George M. Stalvoy, a young Atlantan, known In some of the best society uf this city, and who ls belmr so *d in the Fulton Superior Court for tem porary and permanent alimony hy Mrs. Elizabeth Stalvey, was found to be guilty hf bigamy Saturday night in Aiken, S. C. The case throughout has been fraught with sensations and is at tracting the attention of the two Carolinas, as well as Atlanta, because* of the high social standing of tho In terested parties, Mrs. Stalvey No. 2 being related to the Dukes, the mil lionaire North Carolina tobacco man ufacturer. Mrs. Salvey No. 1, who ls now in Atlantn, and who was for merly Miss Elizabeth Petway, of Wil mington, N. C., also comes of a wealthy and influential family a" d was a belle in her section. The application of Mrs. Stalvey for alimony will come up for hearing; next Monday before Superior Court Judge Ellis. In the meantime tho sum of $726, deposited by Stalvey In the Fourth National Bank, lins been tied up by an injunction, obtained by Attorney Lamar Hill, counsel for Mrs. Stalvey, as security for any ali mony that may be granted. The jury that convicted Stalvey of bigamy was out four hours and twenty minutes. The young Atlan tan has not yet been sentenced, thia having been suspended pending ar gument on a motion for a new trial. Every point in the case, which went to trial Thursday morning, was hotly contested. Atterney Lamar Hill went to Aiken for the trial and aided in the prosecution, his speech against Stalvey and his defense of woman hood being one of the most eloquent efforts of the trial. Stalvey ls alleged to have mari led wife No. 1 in Myrtle Beach, S. C., In 1903, to whom two children were born. Stalvey lived with Mrs. Stal vey in some of the most fashionablo boarding houses In Atlanta and the two were received by some of the best known families in the city. Stal vey and .Mrs. Stalvey also traveled considerably over Georgia and be came well-known throughout the State. Last April Stalvey married Miss Etta Lightfoot, of Orangeburg, S. C.? a relative of the Dukes and the (laughter of wealthy and Influential parents. Stalvey admits this marriage, but denies he WRB ever married to Mrs. Stalvey No. 1. In denying this mar riage, the young Atlantan confessed he had lived a "loose" life for these past several years. Letters, framed in the most tender terms of devotion and which were written to Mrs. Stal vey, No. 1, wore Introduced in evi dence, some of which are said to have been written after the marriage to Miss Lightfoot. Stalvey explained these missives by stating that he was afraid to stop writing them, that he feared expo sure and that he and Mrs. Stalvey No. 2 might be "murdered" by Mrs. Stalvey No. 1. Tho prosecution introduced evi dence to show that a marriage cere mony had been performed at Myrtle Beach, at which place Mrs. Stalvey. No. 1 asserts she became the wife of Stalvey. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L. Croom, the widely known proprietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn, Miss., says: "For several months I suffered with a se vere cough, aud consumption seemed to have its grip on me, when a friend recommended Dr. King's Now Discov ery. I began taking it, and three bot tles affected a complete cure."" Tho fame of this life-saving cough and cold remedy, and lung and throat healer ls world wide. Sold by all druggists. 50c. and $1.
