DR. WILLIAM ELLER3E PELHAM [
PASSES AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Dr. William Eilerbe Pelh^m was;
one of the landmarks of the town 01
Newberry. He was in ihe drug busi-;
-.mi'/i ntinvter
11UI V i'Jl iiiv/. V. v lUl il CV Vjk,iv*4 tv ? ?'
a century. Ho was a native of I * lamhia
and the son of Charles P.
Ptiham for many years editor of one
of the Colombia newspapers and a
professor in the University of South j
Carolina and himself a highly educa.ed
man.
Dr. William Ellerbo Pel ham was
an alumnus of the University, may
be when it was the South Carolina
11 I-T/-? i Vi. t
LUIlf^C. liV v?/ - ^ v .? ;j\, * i j uuwmv ^
1875 or 18iG ar.d ai lirsL was a proscription
clerk tor Dr. S. F. Fan:, and
very soon encased i:i business on his
o\vwi account. We think he firs: hud
his store where the Newberry dru;:
company how is and then across the
street in ihi- siore rt.-om that stood
where the .-tore ol* T. A3. Sanders ii ^
now located. Certainly ha was there 1
about 1S7B an.] ltiTS) an.': i'.-r many J
years after that, and a fev.' years ]
a 150 hiev: 11.sr to the store now occupied '
by the New'^erry Drag company.
In the early days- of Newberry coi- *
lege after its removal from Waihalla "
back to Newberry, Pel ham's drug store
was a favorite pla:e for the ]
boys to congregate in the afternoons. ]
He always, in those day.:-, kept a neat ^
store and he was friendly and kind
to the boys and seemed to like- to have
them around. Dr. Gray Ellesor worked
for him for many year:;, and his
brother Ward law Pel ham was there
in those days, and they were also |
congenial to the boys. He got mcs:'
of the trade of the college boys at
that time for the goods in his lir.e '
that they bought, though that did no:
amount to a great deal, because they
had very little money 10 spend, apar:
f rom what it too!;'to p::y their tuition
and board.
Dr. Pol ham was a:i educated mat!
and well informed on eu:rant events ,
and he loved to talk and war. possibly
as well known in the county as: any
man in it during his oc-tivc business
career. He was a loy ! member of
the Presbyterian church and for ma- .
ny years was the supernitender.t of
the Sunday school of the Aveleigh
Presbyterian church in Newberry. t
A few years ago he sold out his- :
U!U? lU lliV/ -> V V/ UCX I \ L/i :
company and engaged in the life in- ;
sura nee business in which he was i
very successful. After the death of \
his son, Dr. W. Ellerbe Pelham, a fine a
physician and an excellent young (
man, during the flu epidemic of 1918.
he did not seem to have the same energy
that had always characterized *
his life, and in fact he never recover- (
ed from the shock. And for the last 4
several months he had been in declin- (
ing health and the end came on '
Thursday night of last week about !
midnight. .]
Dr. Pelham was born in Coluaibia 1
in 1854 and was 68 years old. Ho (
was married in 1376 to Miss Brant- 3
Icy Leavell of Newberry who sur- 4
vives him. He is also survived by one 1
~ 1 ,, , ! j
son, tnanes r. re;nam anu one >
daughter, Mrs. Thos. K. Johnstone,;*
and several grandchildren. And one
brother, Sam Pelham of New York, i,
Fuweral services were conducted ;J
Sundrv afternoon from the residence
in College street by his pastor, the '
Rev. E. D. Kerr and Rev. E. V. Babb
and Dr. J. W. Carson and interment :
was in Rosemont. The pallbearers

ier we rested a while and then or-i

n several fast games where each

woodcraft to insure their success.
The weather having moderated dur-:
ir.g the day, several members werei
wishing to spend the night, and
thanks to "Dune" Hutchinson, his
Ford, and our parents,-this was made1
possible by assembling: ar.d bringing
out our packs. Those who stayed
prepared a royal rep:at for supper,

for a while, retired to their tents and
sleep. !
Next rr. or nine: we were up before

A FLAG FOR EVERY SCHOOL
? 4 ' ? ?
Greenville Piedmont.
Newberry county is credited with
two unique achievements during the
observation of American Education
iveek.
First, as heretofore mentioned, the
N'ewberry Herald arid News, edited
by County Superintendent of Education
Elbert H. Aull, issued the fi/st
and only American Education Week
edition published this year in South
Carolina. To this accomplishment
the ladies of the Newberry Civic
league contvibuted much.
Second, the members of the American
Legion nost of Newberry last
Tuesday, which was set apart a;; "Pafciiotism
day" during American Education
week, vished every school in
the county and presented it with a
handsome American flajr. At most of
the schools towering flag poles had
already been prepared and. when the
ex-soldiers arrived, the national ensign
was hoisted. These flags will
wave every day during the session,
save when the weather is bad. Doctor
v;r? fVir.. ViiwKnvrv TTpro' ! a.id
ilMUttO *11 . ? V ?# */V . ? ^ v.
News makes the excellent suggestion
that the teacher in each school appoint
some hoy every week who will
act a? color bearer, responsible for
the raising..lowering: and proper care
of the flag.
The members of the American Legion.
in Xe wherry county have set .1
mo^t commendable exumnle. The
day should not be far off when over
every school in this Ftate will float
not only "Old Glory" but also the
historic palmetto flax of South Car
olina. it is a goo(J tmng Tor our (Mining:
citizens to heboid these flags every
day. It will he better still if they
are everywhere taught in the schools
what those ensigns renjesent r.::d in
what tender reverence and affection
they should be held.

, THE PURCELL COMPANY
MAKES AN ASSIGNMENT
! The Purcell company, one of the
[oldes: firms in Newberry, has made
jan assignment for the benefit of its
creditors. The liabilities are about
j $200,000 and assets around $250,000.
I Mr. C. J. Purcell of the Purcell comj
pany has been made the assignee by
' : .,<
I in I! ereUILUra ir> uausuat anu t? v
[ the same time a distinct compliment
| to Co!. Purcell.
J The creditors should be nice to fiim
| because they forced him to sell about
j 2,000 bales of cotton when it reached
J the lowest mark about a year ago,
(and against his judgment and under
j his protest. In less than sixty days
II l-?r> nvifrt nf f>nfton had advanced
I some ton cents or more a pound and
|if he had been left alone just for a
j little while he would have paid all the
{ inn owed and had a nice little sum
! left fc.r himself. The store is open
again and they arc selling good? just
I the same. It may be they will sell
! cut in a k'.r.ip very soon.

i THE RECORD
The Carolina Club Boy.
j What was probably the best corn
! show over staged by club members
in Souih Carolina, and what would
easily rival the best in the Southern
states, was the show held at November
10 and 11. County Agent Tom
i Mills proved :hat, with 37 10-ear exhibits
and 16 single-ear exhibits, a
jcorn show can be made a beautiful
as well as educational display. It
j would have been an inspiration to the
.corn breeder to have looked at these
: exhibits of corn. The decorations
and arrangements of the entire club
eUrtw nf l.r.th the t?irls and the boys,
: were very creditable.
I Falling- upon the day of the Armistice
parade, probably 4,000 people
; looked in at the club show, and no
doubt a majority of them marveled
at the fine corn which they saw. A
, distinct honor was given the club
girls and club .boys- in the parade by
.the members of the American Lc'gion.
The line of march was led by
i a band.- This was followed by the
j club girls, some in costume, some giv'ing
demonstration, and others following
in columns of four. It was very
ex^4- Vi n 4- -fViatr nnmn
jJilC I or L X11_" viUU ^ Iliac mc %? vw>?v
I immediately behind the club tfirls, for
> surely the thirty or more youngsters
kept their correct place in ranks an-i
marched a?- if they too had been
'members of the Lcsrion itself. Undoubtedly
the boys would not permit
the girls to excel them in marching:
and it is reasonable to suppose that
Xtwhirry County club work will be
I'.'sXil JY i i..u'rc;ii'u LTV<i c*o\. ui\.
fact tnat the !i:h boys will expect
aiinih-.r parade* next year.
i County Ajjent Mill- say? that club
; work in that county has been a suc<
i liiis year. The Carolina Hub
| Boy was alreaoy aware of this fact,
because of the g'ood reports which
hive co.v.o in from time tr> time.
Three cheers for the Newberry
