E. B. MARTY'S HOME LOST BY FIRE; Residence and All Contents Bnrned. Family Escaped Unhurt, a Daugh ter Barely With Her Life. Mr. Elijah B. Martin's dwelling house at Silverstreet was completely destroyed by fire on last Thursday night at 1 o'clock, the origin of the fire being unknown. With the house went all the household effects, the loss being between $5,000 and $6,000, with an insurance of $1.S00 on the dwellinga nd $1,000 on the furniture. The family had retired, all on the > first floor except the grown daughter, Miss Marjorie Martin, who was sleep ing upstairs. She barely escaped with her life, having time only to get out without dressing, as the fire, which was upstairs and burning rapidly with the flames leaping out the windows and spreading through the room, wak ed her from a sound sleep. She man " ~"J A +>ie r\^^n ay yjm r*r?Vh pr o rtf IV aiuusc lllg WI.UV1 -u<v<u?N.. c the family, but there was no time to save anything, as tfie roof had fallen in when the fire was discovered and the house was docmed to quick and, utter destruction. I The neighbor? came to the assist-, ance of Mr. Martin and his family in their distress and kindly rendered, temporary aid in sympathetic and friendly hospitality. Mr. Martin and his family have the sympathy of the community and of friends throughout: the county in the sudden loss that has! befallen them. Obituary* Mrs. Nancy E. Hawkins, who was born August. 6, 1870, departed this life May 27, 1917, at the age of 46 years, *.ine months and 21 days. In early life she was confirmed and remained; a faithful, active worker in the church, i flhe leaves to moutn their loss, her j husband, Mr. J. Preston Hawkins,' three daughters, Mrs. Ethel Shealy, j the wife of Mr. Horace L. Shealy, Misses X?ucile and Isabelle, a grand- j son. Master Elmer Shealy; two Drotn-i ers," two sisters, and a host of rela-: tives and friends. The Rev. I. P.' < Hawkins of Curwensville. Pa., is her brother. Her remains were laid ' to rest in St. Luke's cemetery, New- j: berry county, S. C., in the presence i of many sympathizing friends. j B. W. Cronk, Pastor, j j Prosperity, S. C., June 1, iyi<. A Fine Tribute to Dr. Jacobs. There was recently a meeting at Barium Springs, Va., of orphanage workers. Dr. Jacobs of Thornwell or phanage was among those present at the conference. In reporting the pro ceedings of the meeting, Charity and Children, the orphanage journal at Barium Springs, incorporates the fol lowing beautiful and true little tribute to the good and great man whose noble life is a blessing and benedic tion to Clinton and everywhere else that his influence is felt: , "Dr. W. P. Jacobs is feeble in body, j but as keen and clear in his mental ftiwUies as he ever was. He is the - nestor af the body and its prophet as well. He grows mellower and'sweeter, as he faces the" radiant sunset, and his; tender words of admonition to his younger brethren touched their hearts' and brought tears to their eyes. Dr.1 Jacobs has given 42 years of a great life to the orphanage work, and he, declared that when he passed away he wanted inscribed on the slab over his tomb. The Child.' Only this and noth ing more." Sercd Fnele Itemns to Thormvell. i In reading the current number of Our Monthly, the excellent publica-j tion devoted to the interests of Thorn- j well orphanage at Clinton, we came,' across a little paragraph about an-; other useful man who has been] spending his life going about doin^j good for the orphans, and we thought its reproduction in these columns i might put it into the mind and heart: of one or more of Our c'.tizens to "helpj on the good cause." Following is the paragraph: _ j "Our constant friend and fellow- j worker, Mr. T. C. Scott, came into tne president's office recently with 12 in teresting books for summer reading ar Riverside cottage. We have a little library at Riverside of some 150 or 200 volumes, nearly, all of which are Mr. Scott's gifts. Although the zjfer is so close by ana tnere is aiwavs something to amuse one's self with,; our boys carry their reading habits, with them and most of the midday is' epent with .the books.

Whether we believe in consciption or rot. it is not now a question. The duly constituted authority of this na tion has declared it bo the duty of every man within the inclusive ages above set forth, to register for the purpose of military service during the present serious crisis which confronts us. It is the duty of every man. un der any and ill circumstances, to com ply with thi law. Whether we think the law is being fairly and impartially administered or not. we have nothing to do with this at this particular time, but as patriotic South Carolinians and Americans, we should go. everv mr>n. irrespective of his color or condition in life, and comply with the law. I trust that no man within the se lective age in this county will shirk his duty, and I trust that every citi zen of this county, within the con scriptive age, will respond cheerfully and gladly to tfife call of his country.
