without success. This last winter

were the best on earth.’ I laughed
at the idea, but purchased one

i Regular services were held
at the Episcopal, Baptist,
Presbyterian and • Methodist
churches yesterday morning.
The pastors were at their posts of
duly, save at the Presbyterian
church where Dr. Samuel M.
Smith of Columbia, filled the pul
pit. Dr. Smith’s sermon was like
that expected from him—clear,
strong, logical, powerful and earn-
osilv delivered.
At night a union service was
hold at this church. It was a pe
culiarly interesting service. The
people turned out 'iu full force,
filling the church proper to the
last seat and overflowing into the
gallery. Dr. Smith preached
again a thoughtful and peculiarly
impressive sermon, using as the
basis of his remarks theAarable
of the rich man and Lazarak He
made clear the lesson of th^^ra-
ble, that is, that man is given by
divinity the power to choose be
tween the things of this world and
the things of the world to come,
and sfikingly showed the result
of the choice in either case. His
illustrations were apt and clear,
his manner was forceful and earn
est, and at times a breathless still
ness filled the house.
At the conclusion of Dr. Smith’s
sermon the Rev. Walter I. Her
bert arose and stated that Dr.
Moseley, pastor of the Baptist
church, would soak a few min
utes. Dr. Moseley delivered a cor
dial Christian greeting to the Rev
Melton Clark, the newest comer
among the ministers of Florence
In behalf of the town, the coogM
gatious And th*f pastors thereof be
welcomed M r. Clark, and one could
feel the unspoken yet nevertheless
sincere response from the listening
crowd.
Mr. Clark briefly and happily
responded, and the service was at
an end. Florence is glad to have
him in her borders, and bids him
and all the ministers in the town
God-speed in their work.

Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, ditd at noon
' to-day at the Rockingham hotel,
I to which place she came as a guest
in the early part of tin' Pier’s so-
1 nil season. She had been ill lor
I several weeks and a fortnight ago
her ailment was diagnosed as ma
larial gastritis. At times her con
dition became very serious, so that
consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent
rallies gave renewed hope that she
would ultimately recover. During
the past week eipe* ially was her
condition considered favorable and
it was thought that her removal
from the hotel would he possible
in a few days, as the hotel had
closed for the season, leaving the
patient and attendants practically
alone in the house.
Last night, however, a relapse
in Miss Davis’ condition was no
ticed, and throughout the night
she lost strength perceptibly.
This morning the physician said
that the end was not far oh, ami
at noon death came to end the suf
fering, which at times had been in
tense. Mrs. Davis had watched
unremittingly at her daughter’s
bedside and she is now bowed
with sorrow.
Mrs. Davis is holding up with
great calmness in her affliction, and
no fears are at present entertained
of her health yielding to the strain
pursued. This morning

tontion has been given him.
Mr.’ Penny’s friends in Florence
are shocked by the news and sin
cerely hope* that additional in
formation will hear out the state
ment that the injury is not ser
ious.
Later—Mr. Jas. H. Penny left
for his father’s bedside on the
morning train. Up to 3 o’clock
no further informat ion concerning
Mr. Penny’s condition had been
received in Florence.

The Augusta Chronicle says:
In India, we are told, there is
, curious practice in debt jcollec-
IlMLilll.JL tht>
til the debt is paid. The-debtor
must either pay up or move away,
or else the creditor will starve
himself to death- This would eoera
to us a very silly proceeding on
the part of the creditor; but Dr.
S. R. Steiumetz, in a study of the
cus-om printed in the Register
Sociologia Italiana for January
of this year, points out that when
the meaning and origin of the us
age are appreciated, it is by no
means so foolish as it looks.
Should the creditor die from hun
ger, the debtor is held responsible
for murder, and the terrible pen
alties of blood revenge will be
wreaked upon him by the family
of the creditor. Not only the
debtor himself, but all his kin or
gens will become the targets of a
merciless vendetta. With this
certainty in view, any f acrifio on
his part would be wiser than to»
allow his creditor to perish.

said : “Every year or so, there is a
