Griffith, who has for sale about ten n t\ tons of pea vine hay. This hay was a' raised by Mr. tirimm at ms iarm ^ near Denmark, and he put it up in p( bales ready for sale. He did not ^ plant any cotton last year, and he is better off than many who did. ^ There ought to be more farmers in n this county who would do like Mr. ? Griffith. t( The work of improvement goes on. Col. T. J. Counts has just finished J the work of putting in handsome tl show windows and a plate glass front b in his store occupied by Mrs. A. Mc- g B. Speaks & Co. as a millinery store, as well as a cement sidewalk in r< front, and now he is having a t< cement sidewalk put down in front n of all his adjoining stores. This t< makes a solid cement sidewalk from the railroad to near the postoffice, and is a great improvement for that fi side of the street. E Death of Mr. C. H. Hutto. Mr. Chas. Henry Hutto died in this ;ity last Thursday night or rather Friday morning about three o'clock, it the home of his brother, Mr. W. j. Hutto. He had been spending a :'ew days in town with the family of lis brother, and on going home Thursday night it was noticed that le was not well, and a physician was summoned, who stayed with him un;il about midnight. Mr. Hutto was ;hen asleep, and seemed to be getting )n all right. About three o'clock he iwoke and asked for water, which vas given him, and on lying back lown in the bed he soon expired vithout a struggle. He had suffered or years with heart trouble, and his caused his death. The burial took place Friday aft?rnoon at Salem church, near Govan, he services being largely attended >y the friends and relatives of the amily. He was buried with Masonic lonors, this service being in charge >f Denmark lodge, of which Mr. ? * t iutto was a memoer. .ur. j. n. Mack, of this city, at the request of ,lr. Holman, master of the Denmark odge, acted as worshipful master, ^here was a large attendance of Maons, they being present from Olar, )enmark, and Bamberg lodges. Rev. \ E. Morris, pastor of the Denmark lethcdist church, conducted the reigious exercises. Mr. Hutto was forty-two years old, nd was born in this county. He tad been a widower for several ears, and he leaves two children, le had been a traveling salesman or the past few years, and his genrous nature and jovial disposition ron for him a number of friends, to rhom the news of his death came as great shock. Civic Association. It is the aim and purpose of the and of women who are endeavoring 0 make Bamberg a more beautiful nd more healthful town to also sake it more attractive in every -ay. They want it.to become a lace which strangers^ will love to nter and from which they will be >ath to depart. With this purpose 1 view, they have secured a nice oom down town which they propose urnishing and using as a Rest :oom for the ladies from the surounding country when within our ates. A shopping expedition is at best a iresome one, and when it is begun eary and dusty from a long drive, rith no quiet spot in all the town here one can refresh herself, can e wonder that the ladies dread a ay's shopping in Bamberg? We believe that this room will fill long-felt want, and it seems peuliarly appropriate that it has been lade possible by country girls. The mount realized by the Civic League om the play by the Kearse Amaiur Club will be used for the rent f the room during the first year. It nly remains to be furnished, and lis we feel sure the merchants will eem a privilege to assist the ladies l doing. The members of the Asiciation. disliking to solicit where id should be offered, ask that the gntlemen offer their contributions usolicited. Therefore they request lat each merchant or business man ho desires to co-operate with the .dies in the attempt to make their idy customers more comfortable hile in our town to at once 'phone rs. C. K. Brabham, Sr., who is lairman of the committee, their aproval and stating, if possible, what >o,r nrioV, trt oAntrihiite whpthpr 1^/J TW iOU tV WUWi tVUVV T? AAWAAV* ioney or some article which can be sed in the room. Do not postpone lis, as a full report from the comiittee on this subject is desired at le next meeting which will be held 5 usual at the Fitting School chapel sxt Thursday afternoon at five clock. Let every member be presit. The names of the contributors to lis room as well as the articles conibuted will be given in next week's sue of this paper. Undoubtedly te progress of this undertaking will ? watched with interest by the lady loppers. ANOTHE ARREST. h ester Kennedy Charged With Being Accessory. Barnwell, March 21.?New devel)ments have shown up in the Ussery urder case. The first is that Chesr Kennedy was to-day arrested at te home of his father, Burgess Ken?dy, near Williston, and lodged in .il here to-night, charged with beg an accessory before and after the At* zvf TTpiw Awnr .<J L ill tUC U1U1UC1 U1 i CI 1 J uooci j . fate second ooe is the confession ade to-day by Quitman Johnson in iference to the killing. Yesterday ihnson was convicted for the mursr of Mr. Ussery. To-day in converition with Sheriff Creech Johnson ated that, as he had been convicted id had to die, he wanted to tell the uth in regard to Ussery's death, e admitted that both he and Grubbs ad been hired to do the killing and lid that they were to receive $200 >r the job. Kennedy was to pay 100 and "the lady in Augusta" was > pay $100. He admitted having red the fatal shot. He stated that rubbs got the gun from under a ater trough and concealed it in the lace where the shooting was done behind a screen near a public lava>ry). He declared Grubbs carried im to where the gun was after havig pointed Holland out to him. He ;ated that twice before he fired he lised the gun to shoot but his course failed him. On the third trial, owever, he fired and made his temorary escape, as shown by the State uring the trial. He states that on [onday night after the killing he ent with Grubbs to Chester Kenedy and he told them that they had ot the wrong man and asked them ) go and put Holland out of the ay, as he was sure to kill him now. ohnson says Kennedy gave him $10 aat night and was to send him the alance by Grubbs as soon as things ot a little more quiet.

Cree's stereopticon lecture was enjoyed by a large crowd, and his missionary address afterwards was inspiring. The immediate results of this visit will be the undertaking to support a native worker on the foreign field by the Sunday-school and B. Y. P. U.; also the support of a Bible woman by the W. M. U. So while we are asleep here we can feel we have some one at work for our Lord on the other side of the world. The W. M. U. at their meeting last Wednesday, not only did the above, but got up a box for an orphan in our orphans' home. The Sunbeams are beginning to shine brilliantly. Had a well attended, enthusiastic meeting last Friday afternoon. As announced last week, Rev. J. D. Moore, representing our State Sunday-school work, and Rev. J. T. Watts, representing our State B. Y. P. U. work, were frith us Sunday and gave us some helpful addresses on these lines of our work. Bro. Watts' address on Christian service Sunday morning was especially impressive. He told of his conversion in a Young Men's Christian Association. Having been raised up in the Catholic church, he was forbidden to attend any Protestant service, but he and his twin brother were attracted into the above service by hearing a song: "Let the lower lights be burning." He said the difference between the Catholic religion and evangelical religion was that in the former you learned about Christ in story and in art, and in the latter one came to know Christ experimentally. Bro. Moore gave us some good thoughts on teacher training at night. We will have an old-fashioned phonographic talk next Thursday night from one of the greatest Bible scholars of England. Don't forget that next Sunday is regular conference day. Some matters of importance need attention. Hope as many members as can will remain to it after the preaching ser vice. \ew Advertisements. J.
