'His earthly remains were taken to Fairfield coun ty and laid to rest in Bethel cemetery, of which church his parents were members. The deceased was born November 6, 1897. Thus has passed from earth to heaven one of the brightest and sweetest children we Shave ever known. Johnnie was en dowed by nature as few children are. He possessed a rare degree of intelli gence. He had a kind and affection ate disposition that made him a pet and a favorite with all who knew him. It is sad thus to see a life cut short that promises so much-to see a bud plucked before we were permitted to look upon the flower, beautiful and full-grown-to see a harp broken be fore we were permitted to enjoy its delightful music; but God's ways are not our ways. Hie knoweth best. He knoweth when to gather the buds and flowers. We will not murmur at our loss but look to Him who hath said: ''I am the resurrection and the life," confidently believing that he will one day reunite us with the loved and lost. At no better time could he have r'ob bed us of our darling treasure. ''Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care, The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there.'' A Friend. CONSTABLES ASKED FOR. The Law Enforced In City But Help Needed In the Rural Districts CorrespondencpWith.Governor. Some weeks ago the citizens of Prosperity requested the governor to send a constable to that community to assist in the enforcement of the law against selling whiskey and one was sent. The Herald and News has here tofore called attention to the fact that the illicit selling of whiskey since the voting out of the dispensary has been transferred from the incor porated towns to the rural districts. So 'far as the town of Newberry is concerned, the city authorities are watchful and have been enforcing the law very vigilantly, and whenever any violators were found the fine im posed has been sufficient to make an impression upon them that would not be temporary. The following corres pondence is self explanatory. Of course under the law the one half mill tax will be levied whether it is used in paying the expenses of constables or not. Newberry, S. C., April 16, 1906. Hon. D. C. Heyward,~Governor, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir:-After conferring with a number of those who led in 'the op position to the dispensary in this county, and who are in favor of law and order,- I am writing to ask that you send constables to this county to enforce the law against the illicit traffic in liquor. The law is enforced in the town of Newberry, but not in the country and smaller towns. It is bootless to argue whether the law is more openly violated now than under the dispensary system, for what the county needs is an enforcement of the law now. ^And it has become clear enough that the law will not be en forced outside of the towns unless constables or other officers are -ap pointed for that special duty, and un less the officials so appointed are in sympathy with the law. For my own part, I am in favor of enforcing the law against the whiskey traffic in this county, if it takes every dollat of the half mill tax. I am aware that from the nature of the case you cannot have persona) knowledge of the character and in linations of the constables, but you will pardon me for suggesting that we hope that Mr. Hammett will do his best to give us men who will do their duty. Yours respectfully, Geo. B. Cromer. State of South Carolina, Executive~ Chamber. Columbia, April 19, 1906. Hon. Geo: B. Croiner, Newberry, S. C. My Dear Doctor :-I am iir receipt of yours of the 16th instant, and con tents carefuly noted. -Some little time ago, upon the re quest of the intendant and wardens of the town of Prosperity, in .your county, I instrnicted Chief Hamnmett to send a constable thers; and I un derstand he is now stationed in and around Prosperity. I appreciate very much the tone of your letter, and in reply beg -to say that I will use every means in- my power to have the law enforced fair ly and impartially in Newberry. You will perhaps remember that I recoin mended in my last niessage to the general assembly that the constables be appointed by local authorities and that they be placed under local con trol. The legislature did not see, fit to adopt my recommendation, and now all I can do is to do the best 1 can under the circumstances. It is very hard for one at a distance to judge of the number -of -constables satisfactory work, I will be very glad glad at any time to receive your views and advice in this matter. I will talk over the situation with Mr. Hammett; and if at any time the men sent to your county are not doing satisfactory work, I will be very glad indeed to be informed of it. Again thanking you for your let ter, believe me, Very truly yours, D. C. Heyward, Governor. Evangelistic Services. A* series of Evangelistic services began at the Aveleigh Presbyterian church on Sunday to continue throughout the week and over next Sunday. Rev. R. G. McLees of Green wood, who is preaching is well known in Newberry, is not only a charming speaker, full of personal power, but loving his work and loving his fellow men is filled with real spiritual pow er. In sympathy with his work, the pastors of the other churches in the city, suspended all other services and will attend the services in the Pres byterian church. The services during the week will begin at 4:30 and 8:30 p. m. The music is in charge of Rev. F. IL Wardlaw. HELPING THE SUFFERERS. The List At the Corner Drug Store First Collection Sent Off.

Dear Mr. Editor :-A few months' ago my family and I were ''pounded'' receiving many material benefits, for which we were exceedingly grateful. And, on last Friday, 20th inst., was another occasion of similar nature. About 11 o'clock several buggies were driven into the yard, loaded with many nice things for the pastor and family. The ladies took possession of the parsonage and at a reasonable hour we were invited into the dining room to partake of the many nice and rich things provided by kind hands. On the table were meats of all kinds, pickles, salads, pie, custards, cakes, bread and other things. But, Mr. Editor, there were many other nice things left to be prepared and devoured at our own leisure flour, hams, rice, coffee, sugar, mo lasses, salmon, baking powder, canned tomatoes, beans, and one little fel low wishing to give us a nice Easter present, and acting on the principle that ''Cleanliness is next to Godli ness,'' sent us a box of nice toilet soap. The occasion was one of much glad ness to us, and we hope always to prove ourselves worthy of the high esteem in which wse are held by our many friends. May God abundantly bless all of our members and friends1 and cause His work to prosper in ouw hands. J. J. Long, - I Simmons-Stone. A more ideal day for an Easter tide wedding could not have dawned than that of Saturday the 21st, when Miss Elizabeth Legare Simmons be eame the bride of Mr. Charles Rivers Stone. The marriage was solemniized at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Joshua Wardl Motte Simmons in Calhoun street. a beautiful and im pressive ceremony being performed by Rev. J. L. Williamson, of the Presbyterian church. It was a per feet home wedding in every detail. The entire lower floor was darken ed and numberless wax candles lent their soft radiance to the scene. The reception hall carried out a pink color scheme and was lighted with pink candles in old fashioned silver cande labra. The drawing room where the ceremony was performed was in white and green. Graceful bamboo,vines en twined the pictures and window crev ices and the mantel was banked with snow balls. A bay window was con verted into a veritable bower with ferns and cut flowers for the bridal party, and from the middle of the bamboo draped arch was suspended a shower bouquet. of snow balls tied with uhite tulle. Promptly at 11 o'clock the bride zroom attended by his brother, Mr. Eugene Stone as best man, entered to the strains of Mendelsshon's wedding march, beautifully rendered by Miss Laura Bowman. Then came Miss Mil Ired Simmons as maid of honor, wearing a becoming gown of soft white mull. She carried white car nations tied with white tulle. Pre ceding the bride came two cunning litle flower girls, Misses Sarah Sim mons and Margaret McIntosh, in dainty white frocks with dresden sashes. The bride, tall and graceftil, was gowned in white liberty satin, princess effect witfi bertha of real loniton lace. . Her ornaments were pearls and she carried an armful of Easter lilies, tied with white tulle. A filmy veil falling in natural folds com pleted her toilette. She entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Ward Simmons. Immediately after the ceremony a delicious wedding breakfast was served. The bride's table was most artistic with handsome lace pieces and decorations of smilax, ferns and white carnations. Several bunches of these .flowers were suspended high over the table, long tulle streamers extending to the corner's of the table where they were caught in fluffy bows with carnations and asparagus ferns. The candelabra used on the table were the possessions of the . great grand mothers on both sides of the family. The presents were numerous anid bandsome, and bespoke of the bride's ppularity both at home and -else where. Mr. and Mrs. Stone left on the noon rain for Greenville to visit his rela ives. The bride's going away gown was a becoming tailor suit of black voile with black gloves and hat. The groom is the popular assistant sashier of the Central National bank >f Spartanburg, where they will make heir future home.
