TWO DEATHS OCCUIl AT SENECA. Mrs. .lohn Davis and Mrs. Nunnie Cary Pass to "Their Howard. Seneca. June 2.-Si>ecial: Wea ther prophets are daring to prophesy rain to-day. Seneca lias not had a "season" in six weeks, and the dust ls fearful. Gardens are a failure, and Seneca's lawns, of which she boasts, are veritable deserts. Still farmers say the cotton crop ls not hopelessly injured. I heard a far mer say that severa! years ago simi lar conditions prevailed, and in some places cotton was not up until after the 4th of July, when rain relieved the situation and there was a fair cotton crop. So much for the en couragement of the farmer. East Saturday afternoon the com munity was shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. John Davis. Mrs. Da vis was at preaching In the morning, and went from the church to see her daughter, Mrs. Mary Myers. A few minutes alter she reached the daugh ter's home she suffered a stroke of paralysis and never regained con sciousness, dying at 8 o clock that afternoon. The body was taken to Old Stone Church on Monday and buried by that of her husband. Mrs. Davis leaves the following children and several sisters to mourn her death: Mrs. Mary Myers. Mrs. Lillie Harker, of Greenville, and Sloan and Knox Davis. The last named resides in Alabama and came on Sunday In answer to a telegram. The sympathy of the entire community is felt for the bereaved ones In their distress. Another sad death occurred in Seneca last week, which enlists the sympathy of-many friends and rela tives. Mrs. dannie Carv died at her home here after an illness of several weeks, leaving several small chil dren, besides a grow ll son. Harry Cary, and two grown daughters, Mrs. Janies Wright and Miss Lose Cary. Mrs. Cary was before her marriage Miss Nannie Hamilton, a sister of W. 0. Hamilton, Mrs. JoJin Harper and the late George Hamil ton, The sympathies of a large num ber of relative's and friends is felt for the grief-stricken household. Invitations have been received in Seneca to the wedding of Miss Elita Cary and Galloway Minis, of Green ville, the ceremony to occur on the evening of the 10th instant in the Hirst Presbyterian church in Green ville. Miss Cary is popularly known in Seneca, where she has visited fre quently, and where indeed her young girlhood was spent, and there are many friends here who will extend* .their good wishes on the occasion of the approaching happy event. Mrs. B. E. Sloan has been sick at her home here for several days. The meeting at the Presbyterian church closed last Sunday night, af ter a week of preaching by Rev. Mr. Waller, of Ha.sley. The congrega tions at the evening services were good, and Mr. Waller's sermons .were listened to with deep interest. Miss Nancy Hines reached home last Friday from Winthrop and will be here for vacation. Miss Nellie remained over for commencement and will reach home on Tuesday. Charley Byrd will arrive In Sen eca from the University on Tuesday. He will be accompanied by a friend, who will visit him for several days. Julien Holleman'8 friends were pleased to see him sufficiently recov ered from an operation for appendi citis to return to his home last week. . He has been attending the Univer sity also. Oscar Doyle will also arrive this week from the University. Thornley Cary, the fourth of this quartette of fast friends, has already arrived, and with these for a starter it goes without saying that there'll be plenty doing among the young set this holiday season. Clemson commencement, begin ning next Sunday, will attract num bers of Seneca people. Gordon Todd, a Seneca boy, will be one of the long Hst of graduates, and his numerous friends here will offer hearty con gratulations on his obtaining a di ploma. Cordon bears the distinction of. making the four-year course in three years, which made the work very heavy as a matter of course. Miss Kittie Sligh is visiting Mrs. C. H. Billson, whose many friends are always glad to see her. Miss Sue Ellen Hunter, who has been attending Lander College, reached home Tuesday afternoon. W. H. Moore is the last Seneca citizen to buy an automobile, mak ing eight or ten new cars in town. Thc friends of Supt. D. L. Hram . lett and family regret to know that he is leaving Seneca permanently. Mr. Rramlott resigned the principal ship of the high school here to ac cept a position in a bank at Simp 80nville. His friends lune base nothing but the very best wishes to offer him In his new held of work. The Christian Endeavor was lead last Sunday evening by Clarence Norman, son of V. L. Norman, who has arrived in Seneca from Concord. N. C.. where he has been teaching. lt was a pleasure to those present to see with what ease the gifted young speaker conducted himself, and it AV i 11 be their pleasure to anticipate hearing him again. Warren Gignllliat leaves Seneca in .a few days for a tour of Europe. He will be accompanied by several boy friends and a professor from David son College, who has charge of the itinerary. There's a saying here among cer tain folks that when a young lady begins to sew up, 100 th rea il (while) there's going to be something doing. We liea rd of one who is using nu tu ber 120, and wonder if that also spells anything! Ed. C. Mann Injured. St. Matthews May 30.- Edt C.
