Last Wednesday, just as the clock struck 12. Mrs. Sophie A. Lockwood, aged almost 87 years, passed away at tho homo ol' Mrs. J. A. Steck, her granddaughter, with whom she had made her home for the past several years. The deceased had been In railing health tor two years past, though until some six months ago she was able to get about remarkably well, and it was about that time that she was forced to forego dally walks In her neighborhood that had elicited wonder from those of her friends who were familiar with her age. she possessed a wonderful vitality, and a constitution strengthened and forti fied by long years of clock-like regu larity of habit, ono of the chief fea tures of which was her dally walk, which, until tho infirmities of age prevented, she took regardless of weather conditions unless they were unbearable. Her continued regular ity of habit and her indomitable will added many days to her long life. Mrs. Lockwood was born at Trin comalec, Island of Ceylon, India, No vember 12, 1830, and would, there fore, had she lived but a few months longer, have rounded out 87 years. She was a daughter of Edward Brooke, who was associated In the British East India Trading Company at Ceylon. When she was quite a young girl her father gave up the East India business, returning to England, and in later years came to America, spending a considerable portion of his time here. Compara tively early in life Sophie Brooke was married to Durant daPonte, and to this union three sons were born, one dying in Infancy, while two-Lorenzo and Harry daPonte-reached man's estate. Lorenzo daPonte died a number of years ago, Harry daPonte, of New Orleans, being the only mem ber of the faintly now living. The deceased was twice married, her sec ond husband being Capt. J. B. Lock wood, of New York, who has been dead for some 25 years or more. Mrs. Lockwood was an ardent fol lower of the fortunes of the Confede racy during the War Between the States, and on many occasions was engaged in hazardous undertakings, on land and on water, In the interest of 111? Confederacy, her exploits car rying her from New Orleans, then her home, Into Mexico, which coun try she knew well through her varied experiences. As illustrative of the determination of her character we reproduce here the matter from a pai>er which she framed and kept to the end of her life. At the close of the war she was given opportunity hy the Federal authorities to swear alle giance to the Union, which, in her zeal for tho Confederacy, she vowed she would never do. After repeated opportunities extended her the officer in charge of this work finally pre sented her with tho following paper: "Provost Marshal's Office, New Or leans, Oct. 4, 1862.-This certifies that Mrs. Sophie daPonte has render ed a statement ot h,?r property, In ac cordance with O eh eral .Order No. 76, ard claims to be an enemy of the United Statos. "John Dennis Lorges, "Provost Marshal." Although, long since, she had be come an ardent supporter and adhe rent of the constituted authorities of the United States, she never relin quished or renounced this slip of pa per, to which she was pleased to re fer as her "patent to nobility." It was but tho carrying to the end her major characteristic. She had said she would not; therefore nothing could induce her to do so. Hers was a wonderful mind, too, and she had spent her long years storing away information from read ing and from travel and observation. Few authors there were whom she could not quote extensively and at will. A rule of her life had been to learn at least one thing each day worth remembering, and to remem ber it. Tho death of this aged lady had been momentarily expected for days before the end came, and at the hour of noon breathing ceased as the only visible change from sound sleep for about ten hours. Funeral services were conducted at the home at ll o'clock Thursday morning, thc interment being made In Westview cemetery. The services were conducted at the home and at the grave by Dr. J. L. Stokes, of the Methodist church.

Presbyterians Occupy Ono of Hand somest lluildliigs in County. Seneca, June 20.-Special: Senti ment In Red Cross work here has uni ted our people as nothing oise has perhaps ill the history of the place, and I was about to say the call had been answered to a man. But I re gret to add that there have been a few-and happily a very few-who have not responded to this call. This sentiment 1B not confined to race or condition. The widow's m'ie and the colored man's sparse eai.nngs have helped to swell the liberal contribu tions, which ns a whole have exceeded tho amount apportioned the town by possibly more than half. I am not able to give the total, as subscrip tions are still coming In. The meeting called for last Tues day night In the interest of the Red Cross movemnt was not well attend . ed on account of bad weather, but the j second meeting at the picture show house Thursday night was most en thuslastlc. F. M. Cary acted as chair man, and the principal speech was made by Col. R. T. Jaynes, of Wal halla. Tho selection of Mr. Jaynes for county lender of this work has proven most wise, coupled with a thorough knowledge of war condi tions, expressed with emphatic clear ness, impressed the representative au dience most deeply. It seemed to me a most serious occasion; there was no need of joke-telling to hold the at tention of the people. Short talks were made by Dr. E. C. Doyle, Wade C. Hughs, Esq., and F. M. Cary. Com mittees were reappointed to continue the work here, and at the close tho National anthem was sung. Interest centers this week In the marriage of 'Miss Sue Ellen Hunter on Wednesday evening at the Pres byterian church. A number of out of-town visitors havo already arriv ed, among them being Mesdames Lee and Lewis Carpenter and Miss Nina Carpenter, of Greenville. On next Friday evening the picture Bhow has been turned over to a num ber of Seneca Winthrop students, who will give a benefit for the handsome new students' building which it is proposed to orect at Winthrop Col lege during tho next year. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has offered to donate $50,000 to this building, provided the students will r.iise the samo sum by April 15, 10I.S. There will be, besides the picture show, a music program by local talent and dancing by young people, one of the dances to bo "The Yama Yama Man from the 'Three Twin?'." The prices will be 10 and 20c. A rousing house will doubtless greet tuts splendid per formance. C. E. Clyde, of Tennessee, has ar rived in Seneca and has taken up the duties in Sunday school work laid down by J. S. Robinson. Mr. Clyde spoke at the Raptlst church tit tho mid-week prayer service last week. Mrs. Frank King and handsome young son, of Adairsvllle, Ga., aro vlstlng Mrs. J. H. Adams. Mrs. W. J. Holloway entertained at a handsome dinner party last Sat urday, to which Misses Fan-Esther Meakin, Elizabeth Reid, Louise Law ronco and Sue Ellon Hunter wore In vited. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Nlmmons havo had as their distinguished houso guests the past week, Misses Nora and Ella Rowen, of Sherman, Texas. The first named is a present candldnte for the House of Representatives and while correct old South Carolina would scarce beliovo lt, there ls a strong probability of ono of her old est fnmlllos being roprosented by one of her daughters In the next Legisla ture of the Lone Star State!
