Mrs. Lonnie M. Calhoun, of this
city, died at 6:16 o'fclock Tuesday af
ternoon at the Columbi a hospital, fol-
- lowing a three weeks* illness. She
had boon at th« irstitution one week,
hut medical aid was of no avail in
saving her life. While not unexpect-
. ed. the ne.ws cf her death brought
so: row to scores of friends here who
had hoped agairst hope that the hand
of the Grim Reaper would be stayed
and that nhe would lie spared for
many more years of devoted and un
selfish service to her family, friends,
church and community.
Mrs. Calhoun, who was 41 years of
age, was, before marriage. Miss Marie
Latham of Little Mountain in New
berry County, where she, spent the
early years of her life. Following
her marriage 17 years ago, she moved
to Barnwell, where she has lived since
that time, endeming herself to all
with whom she came in cortact by
her devotion to her family and loyal
ty to her friends.
Mrs. Calhoun, who was educated at
Winthmp College, was # member of
the Church of the Holy Apowtle^ of
this city and was very active in
church work. For years she has
taught a class in the Episcopal Sun
day school here and was also an act
ive -worker in the. Barnwell chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution. Her body was brought back
to Barnwell yesterday (Wednesday i
or. the noon train, the funeral services
being conducted at four o’clock in the
afternoon at th? Episcopal Church by
the. rector, the Rev. Howard Cady.
‘Interment followed in the churchyard
- and the mK#y soriowitg relatives ami
friends who gathered to pay their last
tribute of respect to her memory anti
the large number of beautiftil flowers
that covered her last resting place
were touching testimonials of the love-
sind esteem in which she was held by
all who kr.ew her.
Surviving Mrs. Calhoun are her hus
hand, Mr. Lonnie M. Calhoun, and one
son, McTyre Calhoun; her mother,
Mrs. J. B. Lathar, of Newberry, four
sisters, Mrs. H. G. Vnndivere. of Can
ton, Ga., Mrs. Ciaig, of Lancaster, an |
Mis. Lula Merchant and Miss Toy
Luthan, both of Ct^lumbia- and "one
brother, Mr. Claude F. Lafchan, of
Newberty. Sincere sympathy goer-
out to' the bereaved family, md ’ spec-
-ially to the heartbroken hu.sl'vsrd and

In what a WiHiston newspaper cor
respondent termed one of the best
games ever seen on that field, the
Barr.weJl and Williston-Elko High
School football teams battled to a
0-0 tie Friday afternoon. The teams
were very, evenly matched and few
first downs were made by either
'eleven. Williston-Elko has a fast
team and this probably counts for the
numerous off-sides of which they
were, guilty. Some of the spectators
contended that the players s^ere off
side in a majority of the plays run
during the contest and the failure of
the officials to impos? the penalties
“in such cases made and provided”
may have figured in the result. Eath
team was penalized one time for five
yards’ for this offense, while BarnweU
was also penalized 50 yards for
“dipping ." At another time a Wil-
liston lad jn football uniform walked
half-way across the field during the
progress of the game without draw
ing the usual penalty, ft is believed
however, that the failure ti impose
penalties was due to the inexperience
and lack of familiarity with the rules
on the pait of the officlkls, rather than
ft) ary intent to show favoritism The
game was delayed a times by wrung 1 -
