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,

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.' " '

Mr. Kearse reported that the asso

time 1,810 shares. A financial state;
ment of the affairs of the association

tion. The statement showed that the

conservative basis during the two

the concern has been operat'
itig during a very trying period a sub.
stantial profit has been made, the
estimated surplus for the past year
being about 8 per cent., and an av

about 6 per cent. It was explained
that, naturally, there was very little
profits for the first year, as a large

IS MEMORMM.
HAYS?Mrs. Hibernia J. Hays entered
life eternal on April 18th, 1921,
aged eighty years and six months.
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

rifice for the good of country and
home. 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
