[I, j. - ummer. At the last meeting of
ilu Chapter, ?t whh unanimously voted
lu . ve f?0 cents each toward pushing
t(u. vork forward. Are you a loyal
Daughter of the Confederacy? If so,
vou will not hesitate longer to fulfil
this obligation. It is right for us to
honor our great chieftain, Jeffersoh
Davis. Our town is on the highway
that is to memorialize his name from
thi* Atlantic to the Pacific, that he
who rides may read. of the, fame' and
name of the first and only president,
?! t ho Southern Confederacy. Efforts
to attaint that name with djuhopyr?
to I. rand upon it the stigma of trea
son. failed ignominiously ami utterly,
f o i he could not be convicted of any
?crime while the organic law of his
country stood unrepealed. A granite
boulder is to be placed at Hampton
Park with the name of Jefferson Da

of the highway marked. Do you not
wish to have a part in this, to be,
when completed, the greatest memo
rial ever built by any organization?
Do you love the South and its histo

North, July t>. ? K*<>ch Will jams, a
white farmer, tfn year" of mm;*, iv?i?I
!ng three mUep from here, met a
tragic depth from the bite of a rattle*
snake. according to the verdict of a
coroner's jury, .some tinn? during the
afternoon of July 4.
Mr. Williams went to the North
*?
Kdisto liiver swamp nean his home
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and
upon his failure to return, his family
became alarmed and notifivd their
neighbors. A searching party was
organized Thursday morning and the
dense swamp was scoured with i
hope of finding the lost mail. The
search was again renewed early Fri
day morning when his dead body was
found in a dull log road on Kennerly'a
Island in the river swamp and from
all appearances Mr. Williams had
been bitten by a huge rattlesnake.
The dead man had his bolt tied tight
around his log just below the knee
and from the condition of the ground
near the body he suffered considerably
before death 'came. There was evi
dence of a struggle in an effort to
reach his home. . . .
Magistrate George F. Bonnett held
an inquest this morning and after the
body had been examined by Dr. W. C.
Myers of North, the physician gave
as his opinion that the deceased camo
to his death from the bite of a snake.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was:
'The deceased came to his death from
the bite of a snake."
Several huge ratlesnakes have been
killed near where the body of Mr. Wil
liams was found in the past few years.
Mr. Williams is survived by his fa
ther, Mark Williams, and by his wid
ow and several step-children.
A Fight For Reputations
A man going along a lonely road
was set upon by two highwaymen.
He fought desperately, but was finally
overcome and searched. All that the
bandits fOuiKl was a dime. "Search
him again," said one. "He would
never put up a tight like that for v
dime."
They searched him again, but could
find no more.
"Now tell me," asked the spokes
man, "why you fought so we nearly
had to kill you?"
"Well," answered the victim, "the
truth of the matter is 1 didn't want
lpy financial condition exposed. ?

Dismissing Him (Jently.
Tfye head of a large' shop,
while passing through ..the packing
room, observed a boy lounging against
a case of goods and whistling merrily.
The chief stopped and looked at
him. 'How much do you get a week?"
he demanded.
"Five dollars." ?
"Then here's a week's money; now
clear out."
The boy pocketed the money and
departed.
"When did we hire that boy?" the
chief inquired of the departmental
manager.
"Never," was the reply. "He had
just brought a note from another
firm." ? The Christian Evangelist.
A young man was keeping com
pany with the daiughter of a minister,
says 'Judge" and was frequently at
the house to tea. He had a bad habit
of helping himself to food before
grace. One night, in saying grace,
the minister varied it a little, and
said "For what" we are about to re
ceive let us be thankful. For what
the young man has already received,
let us be doubly thankful."
