W. Spearmnan. SIt is not often we are called upon to Schronicle t-he departure of one whose demise casts such a gloom and sad ness over her community and friends and loved ones as the death of Mrs. d V. W. S.pearman which occurred at s her home ab'out 8 miles in the country cr on last Saturday morning after an Le illness of only twenty-four hours. She te 'had 'been under the <weather for some - weeks ibut last Friday morning she 1 was taken with a violent pai.n in the -- head just above the left ear, from n which she suffered intensely till death ased her sufferings. She was attend ed by Doctors Senn and Gilder. 'of Newberry county, who called in Drs. Horleck and McIntosh of Coluimbia who after consultation decided upo)n r.an operation. This was successfully Sperformed Friday~ night. but the pa tient sufferer never rallied. The im mediate cause of death was meningitis superinduced by an' abcess on the brain, causing a pressure. Mrs. Spearmani was about 35 years eold and leaves a husband and six chil ~edren, ranging from 2 to 13 years. Sh-e -- was a m'em'ber of Colony church, s but the fu-neral services 'were 'held by Rev. C. C. Dowell, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church of which her 'husband was a member, assisted by Rev. G. A. Wright.

Zion scemetery amid one of the largest con r.course of 'sorrowing friends ever 'wit nessed in the cou'nty. Friends and relatives came for miles to pay this last sad tribute of love to one w'hose influence in lie h-ad been so s,wee-r nd wholesome. .A rather sad .coincid'en'ee was that y he passed away just five years to the a-dy of the deat'h of her sister, Mrs. Walter S.

The little one was laid -co rest in Rosemont ceme tery. A Pleasing Announcement. It is with particular pleasure that we announce the coming appearance of Nat Good'win's last and greatest success, "When We Were Twenty One," which will -be presented at the City Opera House Wednesday night by The strongest company in many re spects 'that has ever Ibeen cast for this masterful comedy drama. Ever since "When We Were Twenty-One," has been on the road there have been ap peals from our theatregoers for an appearance- here and the announce ment of th'is engagement will there fore be hailed with peculiar delight. Recent press notices -from other cities assure us that the play -has been put on this year in a more elaborate style than ever before, and with a company so evenly balanced and well selected that improvement would seem im possible. This is, indeed, gratifying information, for the reason that "When We Were Twenty-One" is one of those comedies of the 'higher or der of dramatic composition and all lovers of true dramatic art would deeply regret its production at any time by a mediocre company. The "Richard Carewe" of Dudley Farn worth, the "Phyllis" of Corinne Fran cis, the "Imp" of Richard 'Taber and the "Firefly" of Margaret Sayres 'have been specially praised, but the entire company is so strong that special mention is almost misleading. The public will understand -how im portant the local management con siders this engagement , when it is explained that in order to secure it, special arrangements had to be made to secure the lay-off for one night only of th-e excellent repertoire that had previously been booked for 'rhe week. One of t'he strongest points about the comedy drama, "Whe~n We Were Twety-One" is the powerful love story 'tihat forms the bas-is of the <plot, ending exactly in the denoenment 'the audience most ardently desires.
