Florence, Sept, l.V 'Floivm-o was
shocked tonight Wbsn thC? news passed
tw? 1hh?h of Hart well Mwr?j
Ayer, editor of" the Florence Dally
Times, that ho had without a mo
ment's warning. Mi*. Ayer had Imkui
at liIk all day in connection with
his dutlMi as editor ami puWUlwr of
The Times and had only reached Uoiuw
a few moments prior to being atrlok'en.
Hi* attempted to reply tc? a question
from Mrs. Ayer and In a half dar.ed
manuer^dr<?p|NHl over In the ehalr In
which he sal beside the fire and with
out being |hie to dpeak coherently
passed away.
Ilartwvli Moore Ayer was a son of
the late den. I^eyfls Ma lone Ayer of
old Hamwell County, who was a mem
ber of hoth the Cnlt<sl States ami t^on
federate States congress. He 'wan horn
in January, isus, and -was therefore
40 years of age last January, lie wa*
educated In the cominnu schools of
iiarnwell County and under the tutor*
ship of his learned father. He attend'
ed the South Carolina College from
which he was graduated \n the class
of 1887. He later went into news
paper work, and for a time was con
nected with the Charleston World, la
ter with the Charleston Sun, He was
telegraph editor of the Columbia En
qulrer-Snn and Savaifuah Morning
News. Coming to Florence he pur
chased the Florence Times from l)r.
C. II. l'rlnce. lie continued the pub
lication of this pa|H?r for several years
until he organized and became the
founder of the Charleston Evening
Post. Later lie returned to Florence
am) resumed the editorship of the
Florence 'nines and the Florence Daily
Times. He built The Times Hulldlng
on West Evans Street which he. re
cently sold tO-J '.M. O'Dowd. He was
widely known as an enthusiastic news
paper man and loved his work. _ ^
Rather Gruesome.
In one of the companies there Is
an enlisted man whose name will not
be given here. He Is one of the fore
most eiiibalmers In tne country' and'
perhaps, In the worli. He Is, in addi
tion a graduate In sifrgery and chem
istry, and knows painting and sculp
ture. He studied all these things In
order to liecome what lie is?the fore
most einhalmer. He is connected
with one of the leading undertaking
establishments In New York city, and
his salary is $10,000 a year. It has
happened more than once that a per
son hus< been killed by a eel <1 en ^ re
sulting in facial disfigurement. This
emhalmer had heemahlc to rebuild the
disfigured features, with wax and
paint, so that ofte not knowing better
would never"~dream the features bail
been marred. He has done tills re
peatedly in New York and other cities,
and by those who know him ami bis
work lie Is rightfully regarded i?s one of
the world's greatest artists. Tft is a
rather gniesonte line Of omleilvor, som'e
may tliink, b,ut 11 wa s tits own choice
and he has gone to the very top in
It. - ? ? c
Today he Is an enlisted man in the
army getting $.'to a month. Yester
day lie was in charge of a squad of
men who were engaged, in cleaning
a company street, and he was giving
his undivided attention to the. work
and making a good job of It indeed.
Some of those who knew him and
his history could not help but express
the hoper,that there would be no call |
for his professional Hkill while he |

traveling man informed him that the j
