Nich ols, from a tree about four feet high, which Mr. Nichols says grew from a sprout he had planted last January and which he had brought from Flor ida. The leaf measured 36 inches in length and 20 inches in width, accord ing to J. B. Walton's rule. Chief of Police C. W. Bishop happened to see Mr. Nichols showing the leaf to The Herald and News group, so he gave the reporter a duty to perform in tak ing the measurements of the banana tree near the Confederate monument on the public square. The chief takes a pride in that banana tree and doesn't want it to be outstripped by a rival tree. City Clerk J. R. Scurry did the measuring and he tells The Herald and News that the city banana plant, which is 6 1-2 feet in height, being somewhat older than Mr. Nichols', .has a leaf measuring 46 by 22 1-2 inches. One Day for the Orphans. "One day's work in each year for the orphan's home by every person young and old." This motto has been accept ed by about twenty institutions in the Southern States, and the people are asked to cooperate. One orphanage in Georgia received last 'year $14,000, as a result of the observance of the day. We are informed that no institution in South Carolina has received more than $4,000 in any single year, but this would be a good time for the record to be broken. We hope many thous ands of people will each send the pro-i eeeds of wages, salary or earnings of Saturday, Sept. 24, to the orphan age of his own choice. Death of Mrs. Martha Bedenbauigh.

Hair, died at her home West End on last Saturday mornin dropping dead on the piazza at 7. oclock. .She was about 50 years o and was apparently well and in go health, not having - been sick and n showing any symptoms of illness. H very sudden and unlooked for dea was a great shock to her husband al family and other relatives and friend So awful a calamity in the househo was the last thing to be thought Saturday morning after the breakfa hour and the preparation for the day work. The husband had gone to h labors, feeling that all was well usual. But in the twinkling of an e: and in the least unexpected manne the dread summons came and tl grasping clasp of death snatched tl life away without a moment's war ing or sign, and changed the brigh ness of home into the darkness gloom and despair. The black pall the relentless reaper was cast violen ly across the threshold of that hon and the dark shadow was blinding the souls of the living in Its terrib suddenness. Never was more vivid portrayed the truth of the saying th "in the midst of life we are in death Besides her bereaved husband Mr air is survived by the following chi dren: Mr. William Hair, of War, shoals, Mrs. Charley Laden, Mr Mimmns Jones, Miss Ida Hair, ar Tommie Hair, all of West End. The burial took place at Zion chur< eemetery, Sunday afternoon at o'clock, the Rev. W. C. Kelley co: :ucting the service. Mrs. Hair was member of Zion church -and was lady of Christian graces and exce lent virtues of character. The ,cot runity in which she resided and ti :ircles in which she was a presidir spirit will miss the influence of h. presence, which will also affect oth< sections, as the family connections al well known throughout the county.
