A fourth of July celebration was
given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. '

Wrge table was arranged under a
shade tree and a bountiful supply ol'
good things to eat placed upon it a
long with a good supply of lemonade.
1 he dinner was served at twelve o'- .
clock, the blessing being asked by Mr. !
R. W. Hyatt. All with sharpened ap- !

fine dinner spread before them. After

the writer. After the dinner all re
tired to the sitting room where some
good music was furnished by Mrs.
Masic Hall. Two little girls, Misses
Addie Mae Hyatt and Mabel Hall, en

pleasant way. The occasion will be

KERSHAW HA8 DISTINGUISHED
VISITOR
Purpose of His Visit Here of Special |
Local ^Interest and of Statewide
Interest Also.
Of no little interest is the fact thft
during the past few weeks, the little
town of Kershaw has had within her
borders a very distinguished guest, |
in the person of Professor Michael V \
Rundaltzoff, formerly Academician
of the Russian Academy of Fine Arts j
He has several Russian decorations
nd was awarded the F. ?n:h "Palmes
Academiques'* of the highest order.
His election to the Academy took
place in 1900. During the regime of
the late Czar of Russia Prof esse ??
Rundaltzoff was court painter and
executed at the request c.f the Cz.u
three portraits of himself ar.d the
Czarina, and six of the Cza ovit.'h.
During the late war he also made a
portrait of the King of Belgium wnich
was Bent him through the FeU*5*
Embassy at Pctrogad. He was
granted a decoration f r this by his
Majesty. Among the personal ef
fects of Profess- Rundaltzoff :s a
letter from the late President tlard
ng, thanking him for an etching of
himself execut -d and presented to him
by the a tist a token of grat tu<le
for the aid given, by this countr- to
'm fellow countrymen. President
Harding said many considered this
the best Iik<.-n"ss ever made of l im
self. During tue Revolution in Rus
sia when the Rolshiviki assumed con
trol of the cou:;t y Professor Rumrvt
r.off lost his estate in the Crimea and
was forced to undergo great hardships
before being able to leave the cour.tr/.
Two years later he crossed the fron
tier under the disguise of an Esthon
:an citizen and reached Reval, where
Edward K. Howe helped him to reach
the United States. Professor Rund
altzoff is looking forward with great
oleasure to being an American citizen
within the next few months.
Of more direct local interest, how
ever, is the special purpose of Pro
fessor Rundaltzoff's sojourn in our
midst, which is the painting of a por
trait of Mrs. John T. Stevens, now
nearing completion, the Bkillful exe
cution of which not only delineates
with marvelous exactness her fea
tures, but embodies in its striking ef
fect enough of the personal charac
teristics as well, to make its life-like
portrayal of Mrs. Stevens a most won
derful work of art, and a highly com
mendable testimonial of the skill of
the artist. ? Kershaw Era.
DEATH OF REV. JABEZ FERRIS.
Served as Pastor of Kershaw Baptist
Church Nuuiixsr of Years.
The people of Kershaw and the sur
rounding country will learn with sor
row of the death of the Rev. Jabez
Ferris, of Batesburg, who served as
pastor of the Kershaw ' First Baptist
church for a number of years; and
also the people of Camden, where he
was pastor of the Baptist church in
the city for a time. During his stay
in Kershaw Rev. Mr. Ferris endeared
himself deeply in the affections of th.?
people here of all denominations by
his Godly life and deep interest in the
spiritual welfare of all citizens of the
community, who remember him with
grateful hearts and will unite with his
loved ones and his friends in his other
fields of labor and residence in their
grief at his death. The following ac
count of his death is taken from the
Columbia State of Saturday:
"Batesburg, July 9 ? The Rev. Jabez
Ferris, generally regarded as Bates
burg's "greatest citizen," died nt the
Leesville infirmary last night nt 1 1
o'clock, after a lingering illness of .
(several years. He was born in Green- !
wich. Conn., June 20, 1R40. I)urin" i
the Confederate war he wns listed in
the Union army but was roquired onlv j
to render Home service, he being r. j
ministerial student nt the time. Hv ?
came to the Batesburg Baptist church |
in October, 1903, and served a pastor- j
ate of two years, having previously l
rendered a similar service at Kershaw j
In 190H he again accepted n call to,
the Kershaw church, where hg remain- j
ed until failing health compelled hi? j
retirement, when he returned to Bates :
burg. In the years following, s ?
much as he had strength, he served ?<? j
supply pastor to various churches in
this community.
Prior to hi* coming to this stat"
Mr. F'erris was married, hit* wife dy
infc shortly after ho came to Hates
hurjf. Two children survive this un
ion, Irving Ferris of Philadelphia and
Miss Alice Ferris of Wilson's college,
Chamhersburg, Pa. ' In 1907 he mar
ried Mrs. Mamie Y. Fox of Bateshurg
who also survives him.
It can he truly said that no citizen
of any community ever' secured i
higher place in the estimation of hi
fellows than Mr. Ferris did in Hates
burg. He was loved by all, regard
less of^ondition or creed. He wrts ??
man of considerable learning, but
modest withal. Quiet and unasnuming
in manner, yet he would grip the
heart and conscience of those with
whom he came Ip contact and yield an
influence only for good. He was of
ten referred to as the "Grand Old
Man," and none that ever knew him
loubted the consecration of himeslf to
the cause of the Master he loved and
served so well. "Service" was his on
ly rule of conduct.
Funeral services will be held at the
Batesburg Baptist church Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. W. T.
Derieux of Columbia has been asked
to assiBt the Rev. W. O. Young. In
terment will be in the Batesburg rem
tery. ? Kershaw Era.
