at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Moise left here only
a few days ago to spend the Christmas
kolidavs with her father and at the time
#he left home was apparently in as good
iesilth as usual. She became ill yester
day morning and from the first her con
dition was desperate and little hope was
entertained of her recovery. Mr. Moise
left here in an automobile as soon as lie
wail apprised of her illness and drove;
through to .Newberry, arriving tnere
earjy last night. Tbe news of Mrs.
Moise's death today was a great shock
to aer many friends, few of whom had
learsied of her illness, prior to the an
nouncement of her death. Mrs. Moise,
what was the eldest daughter of Dr.
Geofge B. Cromer of Newberry, came to
*
Sumier to teaeii in the graded schools
soon after graduating from college and
taught here continuously until her mar
riage. She had a wide circle of friends
in Sumter and her untimely death brings
grief to many.
THE SMYRNA PEOPLE
REMEMBER THEIR PASTOR
Bditor cf Herald and News.
This article can only very faintly
give expression to our feeling of
gratitude to oar many .friends who so
kindly remembered us with many
nice and valuable gifts during the
holiday seasons. Considering the high
cost of livng, such gifts as home
raised foodstuffs give added v'alue
to household necessities in a minister's
ftumly; but the commercial value of
of n.??ii is ;.>t **i<* greatest nor
most important value which they
represent. We feel that, unless there
was that abiiding good will behind
the gifts themselves would be shorn
of their greatest value.
It gne^ us ihs greatest cf .?oc1

true, tried and loyal friends still con

and mor with each su'cceedins; year
We sincerely thank them?every one
of them? for these repeated tokens
of good will to us.
The gifts aare too numerous to men

"but to all of them we will say:
Thanks, and we wish all of you to be
as happy as you made us.

of
Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Joseph. Waltera.
Amon^ the pioneer Lutheran minis
ters of the Dutch Fork, there i* perhaps
110 oue better known than the l!e\\
! Frederick Joseph Wallern. He die.l Oe

His wife, Mn. Mary Ursula Waliern,
died October 2.", 1838, and nas algo

j ouriea at meir numo. j. uuuucwi,!,
'graves wore marked and were nsver ls<*t.
| Those graves have attracted much at
tention. They have been sought, out
frequently l)? those interested in the
early history of the Lutheran church i*.
Newberry county. However, on account
of unfavorable location and ueglect,
they have been difficult to find. Some
*- -1 *- +>1 mma ???(:#? nricrlit
! peup*e tiiuugii1' cat ui??i
j to be moved to tfci St. Paul coaietery,
where ther would be cared for au*d
where they would be accessible to ihoae
interested in them.
When I came to the St. Paul's par
sonage about one year ago, I had al
ready become acquainted with the his
tory of Pastor "Wallem. Knowing that
he was buried somewhere in the com
munity, I was very desirous to visit his
grave. I mentioned this fact to Jlr.
J. J. Epting, and during the con versa
tion he said that the grave of i'astor
Wallern ought to be moved to the St.
GAL NINE?H & N
Coal's cemetery. Later, upon the sug
gestion of Mr. Epting, I presented the
question of removal to the graveyard
association of ihrt St. Paul's church,
but no action was taken. Mr. Epting,
however, continued to plan for the re
moval of the graves to the St. Paul's
cemetery.
Some months later Mr. A. H. Koliu
of Columbia, who formerly lived in this
community, and who, as, a boy on his
way to school, often passed by the grave
of Pasior Wallern, took up the matter
of removal. His nlan was to move tin*
bodies'oi both Pastor a:iu Mrs. Wallern
to the St. Paul cemetery. He wrote to
Mr. Win. If. Kibler, suggesting the
removal. iTr. Kibler is one of t!u- oider
men of ihis community, and has lived
upon the place formerly owned by Pas
tor Wallern. Mr. Kibler gave the let
ters to me with the request that I pre
sent the question of removal to the St.
Paul's congregation on Old Folks' Day,
August 19. I complied with this request.

decided to move the bodies of Pastor
and Mrs. Wallern to the St. Paul's cem
etery and to place Mr. J. J. Epting in
charge of the work. As soon as Mr.
Kohn was informed of this action, he
sent a substantial contribution to assist
Mr. Epting.
Upon the suggestion of Mr. A. H.
Kohn, the Rev. E. Fuienwider, president
of the South Carolina synod, mentioned
the matter of removal in his annual re
r.nrt to svnnd at Pomaria. Ho. further.
recommended that the bodies be moved
by the synod to the St. Paul's cemetery.
This recommendation was apnroved by
the synod, and the following committee
was placed in charge of the work: The
Rev. E. Fulenwider, Mr. A. H. Kolm
and myself.
.Mr. J. <T. Epting then disinterred the
bodies with care and thoroughness and
brought them to the St. Paul's ceme
tery. On Friday evening, the last day
of synod, the bodies were-reinterred iu
the St. Paul's cemetery in the presence
01 a number of ministers and delegates.
The service was read by the Rev. E.
Fulenwider, president of synod. An his
toric address was to have been delivered
by Mr. A. II. Kohn, but this was omitted
on account of the lateness in the even
ing. While this omission is to be re
gretted, yet the lateness in the evening
seemed to add to the solemnity of thi
oceaL:on.
The graves of Pastor and Ifrs. Wal
'em v.ill now- receive the attention en;:
honor that is due them. Hereafter
.vlien the stran.';L'- comes to the
haul's cemetery, he will be able to looli
upon the grave .of tlie man wlio was

UK WAR MARR1A&ES
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED
Dr. Cisra Macfiaughton Says
Married Men Fight Better Be
cause Stake 1$ Bigger.
"In my opinion and In that of all
the French with who* I hate associ
ated during ray throe years' work in
Paris, the Americans are doing wrong
in their tacit discouragement of war
marriages," said Dr. Clara MacNaugh
ton, in an address to the National
League of American Peawomen in
Washington.
"The experience of tfee French is
that the 'war bride1 it an inmaense fac
tor in the determinatta* af the peo
pie and their confidence nltfmate
victory. The married man fights bet
ter because his stake in the struggle
is greater. He is more hopeful, and
when depressed, more quickly gets
back to normal. The constant thought
of one who lives in the hope of his
homecoming helps him to ignore hard
ships.
"French surgeons have been quick
to recognize that the married man has
an added stimulus to get well. If hope
lessly crippled he is sure of devotion,
and has not, like the bachelor soldier,
the feelinc: that his future must be
devoid of companionship.
"For the woman tbe 'war marriage'
is equally an incentive?not only to do
her 'bit' but her 'all.' She enters more
fully into the war work, and the fact
that her affections are so greatly en
gaged causes her to minimize the hard
ships which weigh so heavily upon the
unmarried.
"While ill-considered and hasty war
marriage? are not to be defended on
any ground, the marriage of those
whose acquaintance is of long stand
ing and whose affections are firmly
fixed, should not, in mv judgment, be
nnstnnnpfi. That we have so general
ly urged their postponement is a part
of - the American idea that women
should be shielded as far as possible
from the buffets of life. The French
are taking the view that the woman
has as much right to risk her all for
her country as the man-soldier has.
"If we are to have a Ion;: war, such
marriages will mean an increase in
population of which we will stand,
greatly in need."
CURES SHATTERED NERVES
Electric Current Restores Soldiers to
Normal Condition.
German newspapers announce that
the army physicians hare discovered
a successful method of curing the
nervons affliction so frequent among
disabled soldiers, which causes a con
stant trembling of the whole or part
of the body.
Dr. Ernst Bayer, head of the nerve
hospital at Roderbirken, has outlined a
method of electrical treatment which,
it is claimed, often effects a complete
cure in a few days, find is almost in
variably effective within a period of
three weeks. The newspapers describe
his method as follows:
"By the application of a gentle elec
tric current which causes no pain what
ever, good results have been obtained
in a few minutes or at the longest two
and a half hours. A course of treat
ment is required after this, which does
not last more than two or three weeks,
and in light cases is finished in a few
days, rsew aiiucivs muy unui u.uo ?.v

easily cured."
