[, Richard Julien's Death.
The body of Richard Greneker
Julien was delayed in transportation
from New York $nd did not arrive in
Newberry until Thursday afternoon
coming on the 12:30 train by
way of Greenville, disarranging preparation
for the _burial on Wednes
day afternoon. The body was conveyed
to the home of his relatives at
1901 Harrington street and kept until,
3:30 o'clock to await the
funeral service and interment at
Rosemont cemetery on Thursday afternoon
at 4 oclock. The service
was conducted at the grave by the
Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, who had been
Richard's pastor in the short term of
, the lad s life in Newberry.
The remains were encased in the
Navy standard shipping casket, deI
sigp?d to withstand shipment from
! tht most distant parts of the world
and to meet every requirement of the
? * ? * iii / i? i.,..:I
! boards 01 neann 01 loreign uuuuimcs
j and of the different states." This casket
is dsed alike for officers and eni
listed men, no distinction being made J
; for rank, and it is not customary to
' make transfer to a more elaborate
casket.
Among the floral designs was a
large and very beautiful anchor
bought with part of the funds from
the electrical division of the Oklahoma,
the balance of the amount going
; for handsome wreathes:
The death of Richard Julien was I
peculiarly sad. His heart was in the i
" ' tt j . i
navy; he loved the service, ne maue j
repeated and determined efforts to
enlist during the world war but could
; not be accepted on account "of his
i youth. It was a great disappointment j
to him, as he longed to be of service
to his country in the hour of her
peril. After waiting and applying
himself to other duties he grasped the
first opportunity to gratify his heart's
chief desire and enlisted, full of zeal
and ambition, satisfied and nappy, j
How well he succeeded in his brief !
career in the navy^isf better told by j
the captain cemmanding the Oklahoma,
a part of whose letter we have I
copied for this paper. It speaks!
volumes for the dead boy that busy j
men should take the time from their
arduous duties to write to strangers
so far away and speak words of j
praise for the departed one.. And!
the message of condolence from the :
1: ? v,jei chir? t.ncpther with '
liCUtCilAllV \J A mu; ^ vwq ?
a very liberal sum from his mates of '
the electrical division for floral de-j
signs, showed how tenderly and j
beautifully h3_had endeared himself
to them. The kindness and thoughtfulness
of the officers and men will
be appreciated by the relatives and;
friends of the departed boy, who gave |
his young life for his country.
Just before the fleet set sail forj
the homeward bound trip he wrote!
his Aunt Carrie that it would be a;
great day when they started back,j
oerpo-r was Vip to take the trip j
6V cagbi iiuw -? ?
home. Only a few days of happiness, I
then came the stroke. None but?
those who pass under the rod can!
[know to the utmost the severity of!
|the blow that announces a sudden)
death so unexpected. The sadness j
| was-heightened when we read of the!
arrival of the fleet in New York
harbor, presenting a beautiful picture
| when "the battleships Arizona, Nevada,
Oklahoma, Utah, Florida, Delaware
and North Dakota followed the
Pennsylvania up the river and the
I Columbia led the cruisers in the
wake of the battleships." From the
happy throng one was absent, onej
| who would have bee? among the hap-j
I piest, as the Atlantic fleet steamed j
I into the harbor watched by enthusias- j
tic crowds lining the shores. j

! third class (general), died very sud- j
| denly aboard this vessel about noon,!
I Tuesday, April 27th, while we were;
1 making passage from Guantanamo
! Bay to North River, New York. j
Just prior to your nephews death'
' he was talking and joking with some
of his shipmates just before going to
dinner. Shortly following this con-;
versation he was noticed to straighten !
up and lean back as if desiring some j
suDDort and then sink to the deck;
where he was standing.
A Board of Inquest was ordered j
! immediately and an autopsy held i
! which showed clearly that his death i
was due to acute dilitation of the f
! heart. j
j It is needless for me to say that I j
sympathize with you in the loss of
your nephew, and if any further in-;
formation is desired or if there is any j
way that I can help you I will be
glad to do so.
Although your nephew had only
been in the Naval service since 31
March, 1919, when he enlisted as an.
anprentice seaman, he had already!
attained the rating of electrician third,'

Ridgeland, May 4.?Vannis Workman,
the nine year old son and only
:hild of Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Workman
of Pineland, died yesterday
morning in Savannah at a hospital
ifter an operation had been performed
in vain. Friday afternoon the little
fellow went out in. his father's
ield near his home where some
negroes were at work, and a negro
joy named Sidney Riley, 16 years old,
is said to have resented a remark
nade by him and, becoming enraged
*ot a heavy pole and' struck Vannis in
lis side. The boy fell to the ground
md all the negroes in the field ran
iway, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that he finally got home to
lis mother, his father being away
from home at the time. A doctor
vas hastily summoned, but it was
realized at once that he had been injured
internally and the chances for
recovery were very slight.
It is said that immediatelv after
;he negro had delivered the blow he
;hrew the pole down and ran, and as
far as 5t is known has not been seen
;ince that time.
Searching parties, aided by the
;heriff of Jasper county, with his
leputies, are making a determined
;earch for the negro. The negro
elatives state most positively that
hey have not seen him since he
;truck the lad and deny any knowledge
of his whereabouts.
The negro boy has never before
jeen away from home any distance,
md it is not thought that he has erone
;o any city or nearby town to hide
limself. The general belief is that
ifter he realized what he had done he
vent into a dense swamp near Mr.
iVorkman's home or into the Savanlah
river swamps, and that he is lost
herein. The officers are taking every
tep to protect the negro if caught.
Some people in Newberry want
>aved streets in front of their home3
md they are willing to pay one-half
if the cost of the Daviner if the town
rill pay the other one-half. The
ibutting property plan will help
hem to do so. Help them by voting
or that plan in the election today.

CLOSES THIS AFTERNOON

we feel that we had a little something
to do with the kindling of the community
and tne school spirit~tf the
Jolly Street school district and we

pride in the fifte school that is now
in that community and the great ad'
vance made in the school spirit. We
remember very well the "little o:ie i
room school building that was here j
and the first meeting we held in that |
community to talk over the matter of ^
. building a new house and the establishing:
of a rural graded school. This
; was after Miss Lizzie Hawkins who
was then helping to arouse the
school spirit had spent a week among
the patrons. We drove by Prosperity
and took Dr. G. Y. Hunter down with
us to the meeting and both of us presented
the matter to the people and'
very soon after the tax. was voted and j
the rural school established and thenj
came the building and now instead of.
a two-teacher school they haye three j
and could use four teachers to ad-!
vantage if the funds were available. I
The school this session is taught i
by Prof. D. L. Wedaman and fhe j

out.
