VICTIMS.
A Presbytery composed of Rev. P.
O. S. Curtis and J. P. Graham, met
at Hendersonville on Sunday night
in the church building used by the
Baptist Sunday school, for the pur
pose of organizing a Baptist church.
The Presbytery was organized by
electing Rev. F. O. S. Curtis Moder
ator, and Rev. J. S. M. Finch Clerk.
Letters of Dismission were presented
by members from Black Creek, and
Great Swamp Baptist churches;
these being in regular form, the
church was organized after the
adoption of Articles of Faith, and
the church Covenant, under the
name of the Hendersonville Baptist
church. Mr James Slotniti was
elected Senior Deacon, and Mr.
Joshua Woods was elected Deacon,
and the Preebytery proceeded at
once with hia ordination. MrG. W.
Bweat was elected church Clerk, and
Mrs Clark Treasurer. Misa Bellinger
was elected organist.
The band of fellowship was then
extended to the membership of the
church by the Presbytery. It was a
pleasant occasion, and the new or
ganization, composed of eighteen
members, has a promising beginning.
They have a good Sunday School,
Woman’s Miseonary Society, and
Children’s Sunbeam Organization.

HAPPENINGS AT LOOCt
Lodge, Jan. 15,—Special: Well it
is a Happy New Year no at to one
and tp all. The old year has passed
away and a new one is bom to us,
but we can all look back and see our
mistakes of the year just passed— |
see some opportunity that passed by,
or perhaps see where we could have
saved some friend who has now
passed to the other side. We all
have our failings in this life, so let
ua try to do more this year than we'
didin the year 1909. There is op
portunity after opportunity coming
to us daily, but so many we let pass
by, yea, pass by forever. Wn-* will
agree with me on this subject?
... There will be Sunday rchool at
Carter’s Ford every Sur day morn
ing at il o’clock instead of at 10 o’
clock. Preaching every first baiur-
day and Sunday and every third
Sunday at 12 o’cl'»ck instead of 11 o’
clock. Our Sunday *cno>*i is pro
gressing nicely at present. We nave
a large and regular attendance.
Rev. G. A. Martin preached a very
able and interesting sermon at
Carter’s Ford Sunday morning,
though the attendance was somewhat
smaller than usual'.
Evrie McMillian of this section re
turned Monday after spending a few
days with friend.-* at Charleston,
Adams Run, and other places 'in the
lower part of the country. He re
ports a fine time.
MissMittie Fender vidted rela
tives near Colleton Sunday.
, Laurie Fender spent Xmas very
pleasantly with relatives and friends
in Bamberg county.
Billie and Leland Hiers dined
with relatives near Lodge Saturday.
Berry McMillian attended preach
ing at Ashton Sunday.
The many friends of Charlie Car
ter will be pained to learn of his
-death, which occurred at his 'home
near Lodge Thursday night, Decem
ber 30th. He was buried Saturday
afternoon at the family burying
ground. The community extend
their heartfelt sympahty to the be-1
leaved family in their loss.
Sleep on beloved, and take thy rest,,
We Ipved thee well, but Jesus loved
thee best.
L. A. H.
Sopoaks. Jan. 17,—Special' Seldom
have the people of this community
been called upon to attend so many
funerals as in the last few days.
Within three days as many victims
have fallenjbefore his keen cycle: one
young and full of hope, the other
two* having passed beyond their
three score and ten.
The first of these was Mrs John W
Kinsey, which occurred at her home
near here Thursday. Mrs Kinsey
had been ill for several weeks, but
it was not expected that her ill
would terminate seriously. She
interred Friday afternoon at Little
Swamp cemetery in the presence of
a large number of relatives and
friends. Mrs Kinsey is survived by
her husband, four children the
youngest an infant only a few weeks
old, and several brothers and sisters.
She was a daughter of’Mr and Mrs
J H Smith of Bamberg county, and
was a lady of many estimable traits
of character. She leaves a wide
cirde of friends.
The next to pass over was James
Kinsey, who had reached the ripe
old age of 75 years. He died Fri
day morning and was buried Satur
day at the Jones burying ground.
Mr Kinsey left a wife and two child
ren, John M Kinsey and Mrs J A
Bassett, both of Walterboro. Mr
Kinsey was a good citizen and was
respected by a large number of
relatives and friends.
The next victim claimed by the
Grim Reaper was Miss Rena Gar
ris. a sister of uur wellknown citizen,
_|S. P; J. Garris, Sr.^. with whom she
been living for many years.
Miss Garris had reached the good
old age of 84 y,»ars, and for the past
few months she had been in failing
health. Sne was a woman of firm
conviction, and did not hesitate to
express an opinion. She will be
missed from the community. ’’Aunt
Reny” was a fimilar figure to those
who visited at her home, and had
many warm friends. She was in-
t*red at Smoaks Baptist cemetry
Sundry afternoon beside her sister,
Miss Pena, who preceded her about
a year ago.

three candidates since last week’s report ranging from 10 to 5,000 votes
The contestants are just settling down now to work, and the next few
days will show more changes. It is-a fortunate citizen who has not been
approached by less than five contestants, and the end is not yet. Me
would urge the candidates to come to Wolterboro and see the prizes. Our
best musicians say the piano at the Brown Furniture store is one of the
best they have ever tried. The buggy at A. Wichman & Son’s is daily on
exhibition and is admired by those who see it. Many eager glances are
directed to the watch at S. Finn’s Jewelry Store. The machine has not
yet arrived. So. “get busy” should be the watchword.
Now is the time to do the winning work.'A week’s work now will mean
more now than at any other time. Let your motto be: “HUSTLE,
RUSTLE. BUSTLE.” and if you hear of a vote go after it. Get busy and
stay busy is the way to win.

and indicates the condition of the
county financially, a few years ago
and the statement that a single
bank in Colleton county would have
had so much of the people’s money
on deposit, would have been put
down as a pipe dream. But it is a
reality and an index of the condition
of the county.
The officers of thb bank are. John
F. Lucas, president and diractor: E.
L. Lemacks vice president and
director, Paul Sanders director.
These gentlemen are all well known
in the financial and busums world
and their names are a guarantee of
the stability of the institution of
which they are the head. The other
officers are R. Ludlow
Caebier; D. P. Campbell
bookeeper and Hughes Murray, out
door clerk. These officers are un
failingly courteous, polite and
commodating. It b they who have
been largely instrumental in making
thb such a strong institution.
1910 will possibly see even better
results for thb Bank.
