A: f '' f . County Convention ' Meets On Monday The county Democratic conventioi will meet at the court house in Bami berg next .Monday at eleven o'clock The county chairman has called the meeting for eleven o'clock in view o! the fact that by meeting at noon the meeting runs far into the afternoon and interferes with the dinner hour of many of the delegates. The various clubs in the county met last Saturday and elected delegates to the county convention. i The county convention is an important body and it is urged that every delegate occupy h'is seat in the court house at the time mentioned, * ~ r-t o tn nnrivOTltinn will JLSCiC&aiCO IU IUC siait vuui vuv.vu .. be selected. Heretofore the county has sent up six delegates. Since that time the county has lost by the reapportionment act one member of t'fre general assembly, but it is not thought that this will cause the county to lose two delegates to the state convention, inasmuch as the county still has three members in the general assembly and will hold this representation until next January. Spread of the "Order, "i The extent to which the organization of "Shifters" has spread is indicated by the following article in the Columbia State Tuesday: "The sign of the Shifters, a small brass clip such as is used in offices to hold papers together, is seen on the lapels of coats and suits with more and more - frequency on the streets ,of Columbia and the indications are ti^at this new order, which has not ytet celebrated even one birthday, will soon outnumber older orpranizajtinns . "A. C. Flora, principal of the Columbia high school, said yesterday that there were some Shifters' badges being worn by pupils in the high school, but that the number was practically negligible.' The membership, he said, was confined to boys. "The members of this order are said to have a grip, a pass word and other means of recognizing one another even though no emblem be worn on the coat lapel. Some hold that the organization as it now stands is intended to promote acquaintanceship and to extend to the lonely inindividual seeking the cheering presence of congenial souls. Others hold that the financial end has something to do with the fairly rapid spread of the order and others look on it largely as a sort of joke. At any rate the order has a foothold in Columbia as is evidenced by the number of em blems seen on coat lapels. "W. H. Hand, superintendent of the Columbia city schools, when asked yesterday what he thought of the Shifters' organisation said, "It is hard fpr me to understand how any self respecting girl could entertain for one moment any idea of associating or affiliating with such a movement. " 'If the girls had nothing to do with the Shifters, there would be no boys in it. '"'Nor. can I understand , how any sensible parent would permit it. " 'Furthermore, I believe the Columbia boys and girls will take no stock in such a movement.' " ' Smoaks School Closed. .

She had been an invalid for many months, and her death was not unexpected. He& birthplace and home Tpas in Orangeburg county where, as Miss Co-oner, she lived until her marriage to Maj. E. R. Hays, of Bamberg, S. C., who preceded her to the grave many years. Mrs. Hays and her husband were prominent in all good works looking to the uplift and benefit of their community. Though so ljully in sympathy with the good of the public, they gave equally of their counsel and care to individuals. The orphaned child appealed most strongly to their benevolent natures they having adopted several, caring for*them as their own?setting their feet in straight paths of usefulness and good citizenship. After her husband's death, Mrs. Hays continued with ?eal and indomitable energy to exercise those virtues for which they were distinguished. Her home #as a center of hospitality, particularly for the ministers of her church and visiting ministers, they having, been for many years devoted and influential members of the Methodist church of Bamberg. Large hearted and generous, no one ever applied to her for aid in vain. She was a charter member of the U. D. C. of this place. Her enthusiasm! in the cause was significant of her knowledge of that sad era in our history which made for strengthening of individual character, though it brought chaos to our country. #pon her death' there passed a type, very few of which remain. A true representative of the women o\ the old south, she bore herself 'with that dignity and pride which marked the women of her day, they who were born to the purple of high ambition and lofty $im, yet knew how to sac * 4A acM W# -V<9^Ct v # (i 2 [Niceits of U.

While this was true of many, it seemed to so blend in her, as to make that unusual character uniting tenderness and strength. , Truly a mother, she seemed to live for her children, and 'though she ! nobly bore the loss of three grown j sons and her husband, when her [ youngest daughter was called to her -\ heavenly home, she seemed to feel ! her work was done, 5 and quietly j awaited the end. Only a few weeks j elapsed before she joined them in that fairer land where rest is eternal, and sorrow is not known. After years of patient sacrifice she felt that life is naught but His love. | Remarkable for her neighborly kind| ness to the sick, her friendship was a boon to the aged and young, to whom it brought comfort and counsel, gleaned from years of experience. Her place in the home is vacant, but her memory will ever be an inspiration to "weary not in well doing." ELLA P. EASTERLING. IN MEMORIAM. HAYS?In the full splendor of young womanhood and when life seemed to beckon her spirit so gay, Miss Addys Gilliard Hays was called home to be with Him who gave her life. Her soul ascended on the anniversary of the Resurrection day, emblematic of His going to that home eternal in Heaven. Knowing her to be seriously ill, hex family and friends clung to the hope that her splendid constitution would be victorious in the struggle for life, but He who planted, this sweet flower, plucked it as His, and she slept with the dead. Of unusual grace and beauty, combined with many excellent traiits of heart and mind, she was a leader in all that was of interest to the young people of this community and in many places throughout the state. She was a student of Converse college and of the College for Women, thus many school mates and friends to' whom she was endeared by years of association, and that tie which binds the hearts of the young, were saddened to know of her death. Bearing ever a joyous presence, she gave pleasure to others by her appreciation of the bright and beautiful jn life. She was a charter member of the U. D. C. of Bamberg'and of the D. A. R. of Orangeburg county. Faithful j to the good of each and seeking to ; further their aims in every respect, ] shek was rewarded by a place in the I affections of each*, the D. ,A.
