cf the Monster—An Unusually
Large Mortuary Report
for the Week.
The prim reaper got in his horrible
work in this place the past week.
The mortality was greater for the
week than for any previous week, in
the history of the place:
The community was immeasurably
saddened Monday at the announce
ment of the death of Mrs. Mollie
Camp, the estimable wife of our hon
ored and respected chief of police, B.
F. Camp. Mrs. Camp had been sick
but a few days and her death was en
tirely unexpected. The immediate
cause of death was heart failure.
Deceased had suffered for some time
with an eflection of the heart, due to
her being very fleshy.
Mrs. Camp was a Miss Pennington,
and was a native of Arkansas, rfhe
came to this county about a year
after her marriage to Mr. Camp in
187!). She was in her forty-fourth
year. She was a consistent member
of Providence Baptist church and
had been since her removal to this
country.
Mrs. Camp leaves a sorrowing hus
band and four children to mourn her
death. There had been eight chil
dren to bless the union but four had
departed.
The burial took place Tuesday at
noon at Providence. Itev. \Y. T.
Thompson conducting the service.
The regular funeral service will be
held at Providence next Sabbath by
the pastor, Rev. F. C. Hickson.
The remains were accompanied to
their lust resting place by a large
concourse of sympathizing friends
and grieved relatives. The pull
bearers were: L. G. Byars, W. A.
Turner. C. T. Lipscomb. J. A. Galf-
ney, W. \V. Gaffney and Claude

Fifth Congressional District, will ad
dress the voters of Blacksburg and
vicinity. On the following day the
candidates for Congress will hold
forth in Gaffney at the court house.
The speaking will take place at 11
o'clock. The candidates will be al
lowed abundant time to address the
people on national politics and some
of the best speeches ever heard in
this section may be expected on
that day. There is some good ma
terial in the candidates and all who
avail themselves of this opportunity
to hear them will be well paid for
their trouble.
On Saturday the county campaign
will be continued at Mabry's Mill.

The prohibitionists will have a
speaker at each campaign. This
speaker will be allowed the same
time that is allowed candidates. The

A Daring Robber.
On last Monday night, thieves
entered the store of Mr. T. Davenport
and rubbed his cash drawer of about
seventy-live dollars. How the thieves
managed to gain entrance to his
store is a mystery, for the back door
was fastened with a bolt and also bad
an axe propped against it for extra
support, upon examination the door
was found to be in good order and
showed no signs of having been forced,
the bolt was carefully laid aside and
the axe standing in a nearby corner
thereby making it impossible for the
thief to have entered from the out
side. Mr. Jfavenport is of the opinion
that whoever did it had secreted him
self in the store that night and when
all was quiet, forced the drawer and
took the money. Gaffney is getting
more than her share of this kind of
businrss of late and our city fathers
should now see the importance cf a
night watchman to protect the in
terests of our citizens.
