in the ditch. One of the Standard
Oil company's mules fell through a
man-hole in the big drain on Elm

faculty of Carlisle school to accept a
place on the faculty of Wofford

before the date announced owing
to the unexpected departure of the
groom for the orient. Quantities ofi
hydrangeas, amaryllis and trailing
? foliage was used to decorate the California^
street Methodist Episcopal
church, where the wedding took
place. The altar before which the
. couple stood was brilliantly lighted
and ornamented with a pretty arrangement
of flowers. Reverend
Godfrey W. Barney performed the
ceremony in the presence of near
friends and relatives.
The bride looked beautiful in a
gown of duchess lace and chiffon
fashioned over white satin, the bodice
being embroidered in seed
pearls. Her veil was of white
tulle and she carried a shower
bouquet of bride roses and -lilies of
the valley. Miss Louise Cavanaugh
attended as maid of honor. Captain

U. S. marine corps, was best
man.

Repairing- Baptist Church.
The damage resulting from a
stroke of lighting to the Baptist
church several weeks ago is now
being repaired. Mr. C. F. Eaves is
overseeing the wofk. Lightning
set f.re to the steeple of the church,
and the woodwork was completely
burned away, it was decided by the
church c. few weeks ago not to replace
the steeple, but to build, instead, a
belfry tower. This will alter the
appearance of the church somewhat,
and it is believed that the building
will present a more modern appearance
by this change. The work will
be completed within the next few
weeks.

PATRIOTISM COMMENDED.
Resolutions of Kamberg Bar as to
E. H. Henderson.
Whereas, our country has involuntarily
become involved in the greatest
war known to history, and the
protection and defense of our flag,
human rights and the salvation of
world democracy calls for the modilization
of all the resources and manhood
of America, and
Whereas, under the wisdom and
the policy adopted by our great government,
all of our young men within
certain ages have been called to
constitute the first lines of defense
on the fields of battle, and response
to this call can be made only at the
^
expense of personal sainuue, emu
Whereas, our friend and most worthy
and respected member of our bar,
Edward Henry Henderson, has so
cheerfully answered this call by waiving
all right of exemption he might
have had, severing all personal business
relations and leaving behind his
loved ones at a time when the laws
of his country do not command him
to go,
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the members of the Bamberg Bar, in
open Court, Honorable T. S. Sease
Judge presiding,
yhat we unite in commending our
friend and professional colleague,
Edward Henry Henderson, in the step
he has taken by which he has exemplified
the loyalty and patriotism
of a true American,, a patriotism
worthy the respect and admiration
of all America;
s. That we extend to him God-speed
in th? role he shall play in the fight !
for a just and noble cause, and ex-J
press the hope that he shall soon
return to us and that he shall receive
a true and just reward for his
patriotic act and service;
Resolved further, that copies hereof
be furnished the family of the
said Edward Henry Henderson, be
published in one of the Bamberg
newspapers and that the same be in

HAKTWELL M. AYEH DEAD.
Former Bamberg Citizen Expires
Suddenly in Florence.
.Mr. Hartwell M. Aver, a former
citizen of Bamberg county, died at
his home in Florence last Thursday,
very suddenly. Mr. Ayer was a newspaper
man of considerable note in
this State. He was born in this
county, and was related to a number
of families in this city and vicinity.
The following dispatch from
Florence in the News and Courier of
last Thursday contained the intelligence
of the death of Mr. Ayer:
"It was a severe shock to all Florpnce
tonieht when the sad news pass
ed out from the home of Hartwell
Moore Ayer, editor of the Florence
Daily Times, that the summons had
come to him suddenly and without a
moment's warning, to lay down his
pen forever, and to come up higher
and rest from his labors. Mr. Ayer
had been at his office all day in connection
with his duties as editor and
publisher of his paper, and had only j
reached home a few moments
prior to being stricken. He had been
inoculated yesterday against typhoid
and his devoted wife had just asked
how the treatment was serving him."
He attempted to reply, and in a halfdazed
manner dropped over in the
chair, in which he sat beside the fire,
knd without being able to speak more,
passed away.
"Hartwell Moore Ayer was a son of
the late Gen. Lewis Malone Ayer, of
old Barnwell county. He was born
the class of 1887. He later went into
forty-nine years old last January. He
was educated in the common schools
of Barnwell county and under the
tutorship of his learned father.
"He attended the South Qarolina
College, from which he graduated in
the class of 1897. He later went into
? ? ~ ?l- ??>/l fAr o timo was
116wsyauer wui?\, auu iui a. muv
connected with the Charleston World,
later with the News and Courier, and
then, coming to Florence, purchased
the old Florence Times from Dr. C.
H. Prince, the then owner. He continued
the pulication of this paper
for several years until he organized
and became the founder of the present
Charleston Evening Post. Later
he returned to Florence and resumed
the editorship of the Florence Times
and the Florence Daily Times. He
built what is known as the Times
building in West Evans street,
which he recently sold to J. M. O'Dowd.
He was widely known as an
enthusiastic newspaper man and loved
his work. He was devoted'to his
family and to Florence, his adopted
fyome.
"Mr. Ayer was a great lover of the
military, and was for a time captain
of the Calhoun Light Infantry,
the local military organization. He
believed in education and was a worker
in all branches that tended that
way. He was a member of the Florence
City School Board of Commissioners
and has done valued service.
He served Florence county as a member
of the legislature in 1908-1912
and was a faithful representative of
the people. He was married to Miss
Cornelia Walter Smith, of Charleston,
and to this union several children
of whnm with Mrs.
WCIO UU1U, ui v ut. .. ,
Ayer, survive, as follows: Misses
Elzabeth, Cornelia and Verner Ayer,
of Florence; Mr. Banks Ayer, of Pen^
sacola, Fla., who is in the aviation
corps, and Master Lewis Ayer, of this
city. Besides these Mr. Ayer is survived
by his mother, now Mrs. J. W.
Hamilton, of St. Paul, Mipn., and
two sisters, Mrs. J. R. Vandiver, of
Anderson, and Mrs. Knut Okerberg,
of Munich," Germany." ^
Killed With Lightwood Limb.
William Brabham was struck on
the head with a lightwood limb last
Sunday in a dispute at a negro church
just over the line in Colleton county
by Lucius Jones. Both were negroes.
Brabham lived in Bamberg
county and died at his home Monday
night. The inquest was held Tuesday,
the jury finding that death resulted
from the blow on the 'head
Sunday, and that Jones was the slayer.
The skull was fractured, causing
a pressure on the brain. Only one
witness, James Ealey, testified. He
was a witness to the affair. His testimony
follows:
"The boy walked up to him and
' * " A A J rin i/1
he took off nis nai 10 III 111 cLii LI saiu
'Hey,' and Lucius turned around and
took his off and handed Lucius his
hat back and Lucius handed William
his hat back. Th.it time Lucius said
he was tired of niggers snatching off
his hat, * * * and then William asked
him what he was going to do to stop
it, and he said he would show him
what he-would do. Then I said to
them: 'Both of you hush up and
not have any of it,' and at that time
Lucius made an oath; said he was
going home and get a gun and blow
his brains out, and went on, got a
mule and hitched up. William walked
over to him after having hitched
up and William said: 'Say, here, are
you going home after the-gun to kill
me for that?' Lucius said: T will
show you when I come back.' When
he started William laid his hands on
the lines and said: 'Say, here, do you
mean that?' That time Lucius said:
'I am tired of you following me up,'
and made an oath and that time he
hit him with a limb about 15 inches
long and would have hit again if I
had not held him."
"Nothing But the Truth" was booked
to appear at Greenville, but on account
of the fact that the theatre at
that place has not been completed, it
was changed to Orangeburg for appearance
Friday, Sept. 21. It is one
of the best attractions of the season.?adv.

Red Cross with a gift of $500,000. *
The gift is in the form of a credit on
Ford factories for half million dollars
worth of autos, ambulances,

designate. With the responsibilities
assumed by the Red Cross in France,
for the support of American ambu- . J
