At the Lutheran Church of the Re deemer on Sunday morning, there were several interesting talks by gen tlemen who had' attended the big. lay men's convention recently held in Salisbury. This movement, which has in recent years taken on large pro portions, is one by men in th"2 church, in all vocations of life, for the evange lization of the world. It is a move ment which is being carried forward on business principles. The Churcn of the Redeemer is represented on the executive committee by Dr. George B. Cromer, chairman, and by Dr. 0. B. Mayer. The talks at the church on Sunday morning were made by Dr. John B.: Setzler, Dr. W. G. Houseal, Mr. J. B. Hunter -and Dr. George B. Cromer, and were followed by lessons by the Rev. Mr. Fulenwider, taken from the recently issued missionary map, which was exhibited. In the talks, made by the delegates to the conven tion, there was a gratifying note of pride in the great success of the con vention and of the movement. . It was brought out during the course of the addresses that the Church of the Redeemer has contri buted more largely to this movement than any other congregation in the United Synod of the South, and that South Carolina has contributed about half of the amount which has been necessary to carry it on, though there are four other States in the synod-1 Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. The addresses were interesting and instructive. The convemnicn was un qualifiedly termerd ed'ucational, in spirational and pract:cal.I Death and Burial of Miss Marie Wer. ber. Miss Marie L. Werber, at the age of: 34, died- on last Wednesday afternoon in Savannah, Ga., at the Mary Telfair hospital, whither she was taken sev eral .months ago to be treatd* for .can-: cer. The body, accompanied by Miss' Grace Clark, reached* Newberry. on* Friday afternoon and was carried to St. Luke's Episcopal church, where, on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'c]ock the funeral service was conducted by the Rev. A. E. Cornish, rector, the inter ment being at Rosemont cemetery. Miss Werber had many friends in Newberry, her home since childhood, and the sad news of her death was re ceived with genuine sorrow and re-; gret. She is survived,. by her mother, Mrs. M. L. Werber, of Newberry; two brothers-Freder'ck Werber, Jr., and Dr. Gustavus Werber, of Washington, D. C.-and two sistes, Mrs. Claremont Moses, of Sa~mter, an'd Mrs. Jerome Bruce, of Sanford, Fla. Dr. Werber,I Mrs. Van DeWenter and Mrs. Win. Moran, of Sumter, nieces, attended the' funeral. Very fair and beautiful she looked, as she lay in her dreamless sleep, covered with choice and fragrant flowers-the last tributes of love. The solemn words of the burial* service, both as read by Mr. Cornish, and chanted by the choir, were most impressive, the following lending their assistance: Mrs. S. B. Jones, Miss Mabel Williamson and Dr. J. B. Setzler. On the altar the lighted can dles symbolized the "Light Pepetual" that shines upon the blessed dead in Paradise. The pallbearsrs were: Dr. W. G. Houseal, Jno. B. Mayes, Lambert W. Jones, Dr. Theo. Johnstone, 0. Klett- I ner and T. P. Johnson. Death of An Aged Lady.

Supervisor of Rural Schools Will Give Three Days to Newberry County and Attend Association. The County Teachers' association, which meets regularly on the second Saturday in each month, and which had decid.xd to hold the next regular meeting at Prosperity, will be post poned until the last Saturday in larch, the 30th. This postponement has been made by the officers of the association, at the suggestion of the county superintendent of education, in ord"r that Prof. W. K. Tate, super visor of the elementary rural schools, may be present at the meeting. Mr. Tate is to give three days to Newberry county, beginning on Wed n-esday, March 27, and these will be devoted to visiting the rural schools. In his letter to the county superin tendent he says: "I have entered on my calendar the remainder of the week beginning Wednesday, March 27, for a visit to Newberry county. We can visit schools together for three days and on Saturday, if you 'wish, you can call a meeting of teachers or trustees, or both for Newberry. I shall have a lantern and pictures with me to make suggestions to fit the case described by Mr. Hand." The county superintendent of edu cation says, in speaking of this change in the meeting and Prof. Tate's visit: "I am anxious to have Mr. Tate visit as many of the rural schools as pos sible in the different sections of the county. Prof. Tate is prepared to give illustrated lectures on his visits, and will also take photographs of the schools visited, and if the weather conditions are favorable, I hope to arrange so that four ar five may be visited each day. A program and itinerary will be announced in ample time, and I hope that at each school we may have present patrons, as- well as trustees, and I am sure they will enjoy Prof. Tate's visit. We will close with the meeting at Prosperity, and I want as many trustees as possible present. The meeting will be held at 10.30 o'clock, in the Prosperity high school building, and Prof. Tate's lec ture wiil well be worth your time and attention. "Mr. Tate is full of energy, and is enthusiastically interested, and very much in earnest in his work for the betterment of the rural schools; sc much so that he has turned .down several offers of increased pay which have come to him since,he has been in this work. "Just what itinerary will be adopt ed these three day' in this county will be, announced through the pa prs in time so that everybody in the community may meet him at th~ school visited and lose but little time. We will endeavor to adhere strictly to the schedule agreed upon." TO VISIT SCHOOLS. County Superintendent of Education to be at Bcthel Academy and Long Lane on February 22. The county superintenldent of edu cation will visit Bethel academy, Miss Dorothy Buzhardt, teacher, on Thurs day, February 22, at 11.30 o'clock, and le requests th-e trustees and patrons to meet him at the school at the time in order to talk over school conditio".3 and make suggestions as to the bet terment of those conditions. He will be present at Long Lane, Miss Ethel Wingate teacher, at 2.30 on the same lay. As there are to be exercises by he children at Long Lane, it is pre sumed that the parents and trustees wvill all be present. Senn-WVilsOn. Mr. J.

Lanham as Their Guest of Honor on Friday Night. Having as its guest of honor, State President .. C. Lanham, of Summer ton, Post .J, T. A. P., on Friday night I tendered a banquet to its members at the Newberry hotel, and it is needless to say that the occasion was one of the .most enjoyable in the history of the local post. Mr. Chas. P. Pelham, proprietor of thea Newberry, and up to a few years ago one of the State's ( most popular and best known travel ing men, exerted every effort to give ( these knights of the grip the "best in 4 stock," and right well did he succeed. The banquet was served in five 1 courses. Post J. is the baby post of South Carolina, and while it is probably the smallest, State President Lanham says that "it makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity." This was Mr. Lan ham's first appointment since he was elected State president. At the conclusion of the feast, and while the members were enjoying their cigars, Mr. E. M. Evans, local president, called upon President Lan ham for a talk, to which he responded in a most interesting half hour's speech. His remarks were chiefly in reference to the mileage question, which has been the bone of contention for several, years. He was gratified that the present legislature passed the mileage bill for which the State organization has been contending. He . hoped that no member of the T. P. A. would be "fool enough to purchase the 'penny scrip'", which is contemplated by the railrgads. "They are trying to hand us a lemon," said the State president. Mr. Lanham stated that the traveling men are not fighting the railroads, but on the other hand they are the "ambassadors to the rail roads." He was glad that the gover nor had allowed the bill to pass, and stated that Governor Blease's remarks to the effect that a "flat two-cent rate would be much more acceptable" were very timely. Mr. Lanham made many friends in Newberry during his short stay here, and it is the hope of the local post that he will come often. He left Friday morning for Greenwood, where' he will pay his official visit to the post in that city. FIFTY-TWO YEARS. On Thursday Mr.. and Mrs. Henry D. Boozer of No. 6 'Will Celebrate 5i2d Anniversary of Mar * riage. Mr. Henry D. Boozer, of No. .6 town ship, was in the city on Monday.
