Hunt's company and at the organization of the : regiment was appointed assistant surgeon, Thirteenth South Carolina in- < fantry, which position he held to the i end of the war. For four years he administered with infinite pains and care to the sick in camp and the wounded upon the battlefield. In early life he married Miss Strother, with whom he lived a happy life, for more t'nan a half century, having celebrated his "golden wedding" five years ago. His wife preceded him to the grave, by only a few months. Thpv were both life long members of the Methodist church. Dr. Welch became a member of the James D. Xance comp of Confederate Veterans at its organization, and was elected surgeon of the camp. He lived all his life wit'nin view of his native town andi watched the little struggling 'village of a few wooden buildings grow into a great manufacturing and. commercial ! city of brick and mortar. During all his lang life no breath of [ scandal, no ungenerous or selfish act, (was ever breather against his fair name, and he was always ready^ and willing to cast the mantle of charity over the foibles and shortcomings of J others. He was the soul of nonor, I open, frank, charitable and loving, be-1 ing a fine representation of the "grand old country gentleman." He possessed all of life's virtues and few of its vices.

On Tuesday we made a trip with Su- ! pervisor Sample down in Xo. 10 town-1 ship, where he has two chain gangs at '.vork on the roads. One, in charge of, Mr. J. R. Miller, is building, or has just completed a road by the old Aull j place out to St. Paul's church, a dis:ance of three miles. This is a road j that was needed for the convenience,' di the members of the church who live J 3n this side, and will be of great con- j lenience to the members of the col- j Dred church, Mr. Hebron. ?At our sug- i ?estion some twenty or more of the i members of this church went out and j ?ave two day's work in the building I 3f the road. As soon as two little! jriuges are built the roau will be ready i for use. The other gang, in charge of Mr. Pom Teague, was working out tlK onr? or-nimri Rsf>hnian Phane. L uaua 111 aiiu ax vuuu :hurch, and they are going over them it the rate of two miles a day and loing good work. Of course the roads sre narrow, but if they are maintained with the use of the drag there will be fairly good traveling. Mr. Sample is doing a lot of good read work and taking advantage of, the fine weather. And he has noj choice except to make an effort to give every community the best road he I :an with the resources at his command., The roads are in fine condition now j and all tfiat is needed is to give a lit-! tie attention to their maintenance and we will have no real bad roads tiiis | winter. I Champion Chicken Lifter. The champion chicken lifter in Newberry county is Nathaniel Williams. He . has been several times before Judge Player, and he has also some acquaint- J ance with the recorder's court, on the I profound and scientific subject of i chicken embezzlement. On January 1st, when everybody was adopting new; year resolutions, Xat'nan called himself into executive session and adopted unanimously the following resolution: i "I will steal no chickens during ,the year 1916 Anno Domini." Xath showed his iron will by living up to his reso-| lution for three whole days and he would probably have iield out at least three days longer but for the disastrous influence of evil associates. On : t'ne third day after the adoption of Xath's resolution an old pal called, and while the shades of evening gath-; ered 'round his cottage door, .\atn us- f tened to the smooth voice of an evil soul who insisted that he knew where some nice fat chickens roosted. Xatn fell into evil deeds. The next day he fell again, but this time he fell into the strong meshes of the law. iTwentyfive dollars or 30 days, said Judge Player. Xath moved to strike out dol- j lars and insert days, which was unanimously carried. Live Stock Association Meets Saturday.

Peterson being from the 1 ;ame county Dr. Welch of course felt 1 l personal interest in the welfare of 3 lis friend from Xewberry. < A few years ago when Mr. Peterson 1 md Dr. Welch and Mr. I. H. Hunt visted some of the battlefields of |Vir- t finia, a picture was made of Dr. Welch : md Mr. Peterson on the same spot and < >oth occupying the same position they lid 48 years -before. On this same trip , hey visited the battlefields around ( Fredericksburg, Salem Church, Chan:ellorsville and the Wilderness. On one occasion Dr. Welch gave at- { ention to a wounded Union general Wads worth) and dressed his wounds .nd cared for him in the hospital.

Essanay presents a thrilling photo- ! drama of war and Romance in its spe- i ?ial six-act feature, "The Crimson j Wing," which will be shown at the' opera house here on Thursday, Jan- | nary 13, taken from the novel of that j r:f M written hv Hnhar. C Chatfield-1 Taylor, an author of international reputation and one of Chicago's wealthiest ciXizens. The photoplay comes in as an extra on the V. L. S. E. program, the regular ! features being released as scheduled, j The scenes of the photoplay take ! places on the border between France j ..."'^g.TI,'''"J. jELpflKjjBDt and Germany, where the present battle line is drawn. While it portrays with striking visidness the terrors and heroism of war, it is strictly neutral, taking sides with no faction. iThe climax is a touching love scene, uniting a man and woman of opposing nations. The drama is presented in a manner that not only gives offense to none, but makes the heart go out in sympathy to all the battling nations and yearn for a permanent peace. Exceptional interest is attached to the photoplay because of society leaders. national and world characters,1 who take part in it. Garden and villa scenes were taken on the grounds and in the homes of Chicago's wealthiest citizens, including Hobart Qf. ChatfieldTaylor, the author; Harold and Cyrus McCormick, Orville Babcock, Edward S. Moore, James Ward Thorne, Scott Durand and Howard Shaw. The majority of these persons with their wives and families, as well as other society j leaders, appear in the play.

Mr. 'Carvert also j takes the leading role with Miss Ruth Stonehouse. j The story itself is replete with dramatic situations, human interest, details of love, intrigue and war, and the settings so gorgeous that it lends itself peculiarly to photographic art. The battle scenes, while spectacular, are small enough so that detailed action is noted. Mr. Cnatfield-Taylor, who is thoroughly familiar with the historic European battle ground, was present throughout the entire work of produc-) ing the play, and assisted ATr. Calvert j in the direction of the play. Christmas Exercises at Perkins School. We just want to say a few words of! praise of Miss Kate Xeel's school, or the Perkins school. We were most agreeably surprised, just to see how ; she had those little children trained, j We went to several Christmas trees! and her's was the prettiest and the children the most perfectly trained. On account of the school room being j so small the exercise was held in the J Mission church nearby. The church I was tastily decorated in green and red, j with a wreath of holly in each window j and in the center of the platform was J ^ a large wreath. Each wreath had a!' i large red bow on it and over the j wreath was the word "Christmas" in i1 ?ilt letters. Part of the Mollohon j choir furnishe^ beautiful singing; :hroughout c'ne evening. Miss Mattie Boyd iMills presided at ' ;he organ. Mrs. Pink Long and Miss 1 Vlills sang some beautiful Christmas 1 ?arois.

The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of the obituary of a prominent citizen had been dumped in the forms and uie next handful of type come off a galley describing a recent fire. It read something like this: "The pallbearer lowered the hodby to the grave and as it was consigned to the grave there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck, had been an eyesore to the town for years. Of course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance." The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of her joys and sorrows owed him five years' subscription.?Exchange. Joint Meeting Farmers' Organizations. There will be a joint meeting of the Farmer's union and the County Live Stock association next Saturday morning, 11 o'clock. Mr. J. L.

A teacher in the McKinley school auilding in /Mluncie last spring offered i prize to the pupil who would kill the most flies. The little boys and girls tvho were under this teacher's special charge at once became the envy of all :he other pupils whose teachers were not in the prize-giving business. One iay Donald, who is eight and under the :utelage of the "prize" teacher, said in i discouraged tone to a playmate Tnarlie, who is in another room: "I inst know 111 never win that prize. I :an't find any flies over at our house." "Then you'd just better come over our house,'' said Charlie boastfully, 3've got millions of 'em."
