Walker, of the Southern Hell Telephone and Telegruph Company, lias re turned from Columbia, where he attended the Convention of Mana gers and District Managers of the company. Mr. Walker has outlined to our represeulative the work ol the convention, and it- will be n matter of considerable interest to the merchants and business men of Camden and farmers and othei residents in this com uniuity, to know that the Rell Telephone and Telegraph Com puuy is now in position to offer attractive propositions to far mers aud others who desire tele phone service. The telephone development in the south has been rapid and this means of communication is now serving residents of the rural districts to us great an extent as the service is used in the city. The telephone lias brought the farmers in close touch with the market and is serving in con venience so well that farmers' lines are seen radiating from every city in which an exchange is located Under the plan adopted by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, farmers And other rural residents ure furnished service at a very low cost, aud the plan under which the lines aro builtund telephones Are installed is such that the work and equipment are se cured at much lower cost than would be possible under other conditions. The establishment of these lines to connect with the ex change here places an inipor I ant territory in close aud con #tant communication with Cain <len, and will bo of very great value to the merchants of the city. The farmers will bo nblo to transact business without the liocessity of losing time that would otherwise be Consumed in going to town, and tho telephone will serve as an additional pro tcotion to the feminine portion of the household while the men lire away. Every farmer who litis one of these telephones will l?o able to oommunioate with the city and with his neighbors at all hours, and the long distance lines will be at Ids disposal. Those w|)o aro intereitod in this matter oau seoure full in formation by writing to or call, lug on the Manager of , the Southern Dell Telephone and Telegraph Company. We hope lo soon seo Kershaw and adjoining oounties W9ll . lined up with telephone*, on the liberal propositions that the Telephone Company will now offer lliem, mid us NJannger Walker advisos that ho will at once begin a vigorous campHign lo Kershaw county, whtuli is tho territory assigned to him, we Wis!) hioj succors. DEI fit DMU Hnrni UmTmi tri (MiiwbU. Special to tbe Stale. ' HolWHill, Oct Mr.?Mrs John & U?raH|^ whose maiden name was Kathecloe E. Raid, was bora in Chaeleatoa, February 19tb, 1888, aod dM at-Holly Hill**, her home, uesr Camden, October 21st, 1906; was buried in Colombia on tbe 28rd. On everj side she was of genuine aristocratic lineage?en-1 tirely European?all branches of her ancestry bore acoat-of-j arms, as the "College of Her aldry "shows. Her father, who had titled i relatives, left his beloved Ireland for political reasons iu tbe early part of tlio lust century. The Ledwich branch of nis family is specially distinguished for gene rations of brilliant doctors. The "Ledwicli Medical college" of Dubliu was established 100 years ago, having at one time more medical students than the Uni versity ni Dublin. At present it is known us the "Royal Col lege of Surgeons, Curmichel and Ledwich Schools " Ilis wifev Mrs. C. ?. Reid, an Episco putiuii convert lo Catholicism, was born m 1819 ut "Castletown House," Selbridge, the superb home of Laidy Louisa Lennox, daughter of the Dulce of Rich inotul, and named for her sister, Caroliue, first Lady Holland, and Emily, Duchess of Lemster. Another daughter of this noted family was Lady Sarah Len nox, whom George the Third de sired to niuUo Queen of Euglund. She urter wards became the moil.cr of three of Wellington's generals. Mrs. Reid's early days were passed among these and ?jven more noted personages. She and her husband finally seitled in Charleston long be fore the Civil war, were slave jwners and in sympathy with their adopted home, giviutr two sons to the "Lost Cause," Oscat^ John Daily Keid, who went through the war and fell in one of the last battles, aud Walter FitzGerald Reul, recently dc ceased. Mrs. Meroney was the eldest child, and when young was a popular society bell in Charles ton, being not only extremely beautiful, but cultured aud high ly accomplished, having hau -every school advantage pro curable at that time and place, also tho opportunities of Now York. She wus specially noted for her delicate, exquisite com plexion, aud /or that reason 011 one occasion, who 11 she was chosen to christen a gunboat, was introduced as ??The Pearl of tho Casket." Another time the late Gov. Manning selected her as tho most beautiful woman in Charleston to open a ball with him. She was first married to Mr. W. J. Palmer of the Charleston firm of Dongless & Co., a Wes toru gentleman, who gave his life for the Southern cause?en tering active service at the be ginning in opposition to his Ohio relatives. Two brothers and a cousin, a general 111 the Northern army, fought against him. His only relatives in South Carolina -vereCol. Clinton Ward of Wards and the wife of Dr. Augustus Pitch in Charleston. Mrs. Palmer, afterwards Mrs. Meroney,devoted her mind, time and purse to the cause, and no ludy in Charleston gave more freely of herself at the hospitals. Her second marriago was to Mr. J no. S. Meroney of North Carolinu, sou of Col. John Alex under Meroney of North Caro lina, whoso direct line is a long one, besides the authentic his tory of the O'Meroney clan and territory dates as far bucft us the year 1014. Like hosts through the South, Mrs. Meroney, and others very dear to her, experienced re verses after the war. She bore them bravely, though unfitted by nature, desire and a Trail con ktltutiya.toropo with the world; fortunately she had IrUle of this to do. For some years she was a successful teacher, and re ceived a fluttering offer from the Moravian . collego at Salem, which doclinlng health |)le vented her accepting.

Sworn to and subacribed before me this 17th dny of Oct., 1008. Signed, W. It. IIOUUII, Notary l'ubllc, S. O. ones., all personal feelings and inaUo a public but successful ven ture totally unsuited to her from all stand points, but the lofty, due effort raised her, us it will any woman, to the pedestal of n heroine in the minds of all who are really worth while. To her generous and sympathetic heart a number of poor girls owe their happiness in life. She was ifreat enough to set aside stereo typed conventionalism when oc casion arose, for she was a trui* and broad woman?not a su~ perficiul character obstructing the Divine light, ready to illumi nate ulldurkuess of earth, wait ing only for mediums. Many nets of noble charity are to her credit. This, with the pa tient suffering through long, weary years of invalidism and ihe intense ugonj of the past two months, have gaiued for her a glorious awakening in a hap* pier world. Her body lies in an holy atrr.os phere, between her church and the convent, but her spirit is with God. So with heart-break ings from the human side, tem pered by a desire to be reconcil ed to the will of the Creator, her loved ones have laid her to rest believing that "lengthened breath is not the sweetest gift that God sends his friends ?.ii:d that sometimes the sable pull of death conceals I he fairest bloom His love can send," but 011 her grave, and in memory, they will keep blooming forget me nols speak to her and totlie.n in sym bolic language until, short I v at best, they will see her dear, dear face?
