ANCHl M UK AO. Death of Prominent l.adv Brings Sorrow to a Large Circle. Although not unexpected the death' ojf Mrs. Anna Calhoun Anerum brought a wave of sadness over the town. After an illness of several months her death occurred at hei home in this city last Fridav morn ing, July Itfth. She was born in Abbeville seventy - five years ago, and was the daughter Of the late John Albert Calhoun and Sarah Norwood Calhoun and the great niece of the illustrious states man, John C. Calhoun. Her child hood and girlhood were spent on the plantation and in the town home of her ancestors, with all the advantages that could fall to the lot of anyone in the times that just preceded the War Between the States. She began her career as a young lady in the fascinating and cultured society of .Abbeville and Charleston where grace, brilliancy and personal loveli ness \v^>n for her great admiration and popularity, we have been told by those who knew here in early days. In the autumn of 1ST" she was married to the late William Anerum. of Camden, a gallant Confederate soldier. Their married life was spent in Camden or at Red Bank, then the plantation home of the Ancrums. Frotfh this union the following chil dren survive: Commander William Ancrum, U. S. Navy; Major Calhoun Anerum, U. S. Marine Service; Cap tain Norwood Ancrum, U S. Army; Andrew Ancrum, Columbia; Thomas Anerum, Camden; Mrs. John I). Mil ler, St. Paul, Minn.; Mrs. Edward Eve, Beaufort.* The funeral services were solemn ized Saturday at 5 o'clock in the afternoon from Grace Episcopal church of which she was a loyal and devout member. Dr. Phillips of Trinity church, Columbia, was the officiating minister. The burial was in the family plot in the old Quaker cemetery and the floral tributes were many and beautiful, symbolic of the purity, sweetness and naturalness of the life of the one who slept beneath them. Just as the benediction was pronounced the sun came out of the clouds and, its beams turned the rain drops to sparkling diamonds and through tears her friends remembered that in truth she is "of those who sunlit take the Heavenly road." In the hush and stillness of the hour they turned away from the grave towards the light of a beautiful life, whose memory cannot be taken away from them. Reviewing the seventy-five fruitful years of Mrs. Anna Calhoun Ancrum we find much to admire; as a woman, daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, she was the highest exponent of womanhood in our glorious Southland.

DeKalb Street Beautiful in character, of an attrac tive personality, gifted and cultured, a tine conversationalist, an able writer Mrs. Antrum left her en nobling impress upon old and young. With her yiftistlc temperament and love for the beautiful, she idealized even the commonplace, realizing there is power in small acts of kindness. I Truthfulness and sincerity were among her many virtues absolute loyalty was chief among her charac teristics. As a close and intimate friend we render this tribute to her life and character and with our love, tears and sorrow, we say, "We know not why, but all is well," and eternal hope entwined wijh these words. For this good friend we break the alabaster box of our affection, and in its fragrance embalm her memory.

THE I W HY SCHOOLS Write- Your -Name Campaign To Ho Put On In This Count. \. It is n pleasure for The Chronicle to assume the responsibility for the raising of sufficient funds to supply the Lay-By Schools with text books. We are proud that Kershaw County is one county among those Chosen in the state to have this great work. State authorities apparently appreci ate the progressive, forward-looking attitude that the people of our vicin ity take on any Worthy issue and for that reason decided that Kershaw , "County would be one of the best in 'which to have these Lay-By Schools. Why these Lay-By Schools? There aie. several reasons. In the first placo no self-respecting people will tolerate ,a condition of ignorance to go un challenged when the curse of illiter acy is fully appreciated. Then too, a people with a heart and a sympathy for others will not accept all the priv ileges and comforts of life without some regard for those who have not been so well blest. In other words, the. citizen of real worth, does not accept all the blessings of life with out having a desire to share Iht'Ae with less fortunate people. Further, from a matter of pride we do no.t want the outside' world to look on' u* as being a county and state of Ignorant shiftless people. We want the criticism of those to be commen dable and constructive. The Chronicle feels that the sum of $200 will be raised promptly and I that Miss Annie L. Woodward, will ! fully realize Kershaw county people are behind her in this enterprise of which she is supervisor. Reports from those at work to raise the funds to conduct the schools show a ready response and quite neat sum has already been raised. A. list of the contributors will be pu*jj- 1 lished next week. f SUBSCRIPT (ON-BLANK I wish u> contribute to the. "Lay-by Schools" Campaign, ami attach here with the sum of Dollars.
