Manager, E. F. 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

' 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. But she1

Estridge, members of the Kershaw County Dispensary Hoard, who, being each
duly and severally sworn, deposes and says tliat the foregoing statement is

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?
