Death oi Mr. Isaac Epps. |
McClellanville, February 16:?The '
relatives and friends of Mr and Mrs j
Isaac Epps will be grieved to learn j I
of the death of the former. !'
Mr Epps lived in Kingstree most j
of his life,but of late years has made
his home with his daughter, Mrs I: 1
Tillia Morrison.
Mr Epps had been for years a
faithful member' of the Methodist
church. He leaves a wife and four
children. The latter are: Mrs R Tillia
Morrison of McClellanville; Mrs
Ready, of Johnston; Mr Ralph Epps i
of Sumter and Dr Carl Epps. I
The above "special" to the News i
and Courier conveyed the first intel- ?
i licence here of the death of a former ]
citizen of Williamsburg county. The (t
sad event, we are informed, took, i
place Wednesday, February 15, at j j
the home of his daughter, at Mc-'s
Clellanville. Mr Epps had been for! j
many weeks critically ill and his i
death was not unexpected. Had he j ]
lived until the coming March, he' s
> would have been 1i years old. !l
Mr Epps was born and reared to j
to manhood in Williamsburg county, j 1
After his children grew up and left <
the parental roof he moved away,but j <
always his heart yearned for the old j ]
county and he kept in touch with the I <
old home by diligently reading The: j
County Record. We were proud to <
esteem him our friend and ofttimes 1
on his visits back "home," he assur- |
eel us that he read every word in i
the old paper every week?"adver- 1
tisements and all." <
In many respects he was a remark- 1
able man. When the "Secession j
Movement" carried by storm our '
State and county he stood fast for i
the Union and after the war which <
- *" * * # A 1 i?
followed, ne was one 01 me iew
white men in Williamsburg: who
voted the Republican ticket, holding
office,we believe, under that regime.
At the time, when feeling ran high,
he was harshly criticizedjbut,looking
at it after the lapse of years, who
shall say that his course *of action
was not governed by his convictions
of right?
Genial and polished in manner, he
was a close student and well-informed
on many subjects. Both he and
his-estimable wife were firm believers
in education, and they practiced
their theory, equipping their four
v, children with collegiate education at
the expense of their own material
comfort, and even sacrificing their
he me as a part of the price. He
was a brother of Messrs James,
William, Edwin and Miss Mollie
Epps, of Kingstree, who with many
other relatives and friends here,
n ourn his death.
Mr Epps spent his latter years
teaching school/ and no doubt did (
great good in a quiet, unostenta* j
tious way. Many who learned their ^
first lessons under his gentle tutel-1
age will be grieved at his passing. 'J
Peace be to his ashes. 1

LETTER FROM SIAIt'5
LONE GIRLS' COLLEGE.
RETURNED MISSIONARY TELLS
ABOUT "DARKEST AFRICA**MUSIC
AND DRAMA.
Winthrop College, Rock Hill, Feb uary
18:?The annual convention of
;he South Carolina Volunteer union
s now being held at Winthrop. The
tervices began Friday evening. Dr
Seavis of Nashville gave a very incresting
account of a trip that he
nade last February down into Cental
Africa to visit the American mis.
iion which is established in the Konjo
country about nine hundred miles
jp the Kongo ?*er. He went by '
London and there secure* a "mis-1
sionary outfit", which consisted of |
ight clothing, umbrellas lined with
jreen to soften the glare of the
tropic sun, and a good supply of
juinine. He gave a first-hand description
of the animals and the
people of the jungles. The natives
;>f this part of Africa are not of an
inferior race. They are tall and
slive-complexioned, have the characteristics
of brave warriors, and,when
?iven the opportunity, they gladly
accept our religion and develop into
higher ways of living. He told some
3f the customs that prevail amon*
the natives. The women wear en
sragement rings around their necks
These rings are made of solid bras
ind weigh fifteen pounds. Shells
:loth, Indian corn and bananas an
used for money. Dr Reaws visitet
the country of the cannibals bu
they have become Christianized an
ire no longer dangerous. They still
seep up the custom of filing their
teeth to sharp points, however.
This mission has been in operation
twenty years and thousands of savagei
have been Christianized.
Dr E H Rawlings, of the Methoiist
Board of Missions, spoke on the
?reat awakening in the East and the
lack of a corresponding awakening
in the West. If the millions of China
are to be Christianized the time for
it has come, because the people of
the East are in a state of unrest and
are now ready to accept our civilization
and our religion.
A large number of delegates have
i ii *?
come tUKtJtner lur una wiivciiuou.
Nearly all of the colleges in South
Carolina and many in North Carolina
are represented. Miss Ruth E
Dorrill of Johnsonville,a former student
of Winthrop and a member of
the Student Volunteer band, is the
only representative from Williamsburg
county present.
The Young Women's Christian
association of Winthrop is taking an
active part in missions. About three
hundred girls are taking systematic
mission study, and twelve are members
of the Student Volunteer band,
rhe association supports a missionary,
Miss Leila Guitnor, in Ceylon.
She has a position as general secretary
in a Ceylon school for young
women.
Three entertainments have been
added to our list for February. On
the eleventh the Creatore band gave
a matinee; on the fifteenth Ellen
Terry,the celebrated English actress,
?ave characters from Shakes:, eare;
Maude Powell, a famous violinist,
will come about the twenty-fourth.
Dr 4tinard and Miss Withers,
members of Winthrop faculty,
lave gotten out a new English grammar,which
they have planned to use
in the training school here, and they

are going to offer it to the State
board to be used in the public i
schools.
Several weeks ago Dr Johnson |
made a report in which he estimated 1
the value of the Winthrop property j
at $650,000. Of this amount the i
State has given $325,000; the remaining
$325,000 has been donated.
Winthrop is the only State institution
for the education of women in
South Carolina. It is interesting to
compare the amounts given for the I
education of young women with that
given for the education of ^oung
men. The State has given only
$325,000 for the education of young
women and more than $1,000,000
for the education of young men.

A MOTHER'S MISTAKE.
Through Ridicule She Lost the Confidence
of Her Children.
The mater was talking to my
aunt the other day. I happened to
overhear what they wore saying.
I couldn't help it. The mater was
l.A/vonnA or>rl T
COIIl|JIlllIJIIJg uctttu.-u viiuuiu U..V. *
don't toll her things, don't confide
in her what we're doing and what
we're going to do and what we want
to do.
It's quite true. We don't! But 1
don't think it's out fault. I believe
it is due to another of the mater's
mistakes. When we were kidr, of
course, we had all sorts of mighty
ideas. Clifford meant to be president
of the United States, and I i
meant to carve out a career with j
my sword and be a major general at
least?the sort of rot, you know,
that you do talk when you're a silly
little thing.
Well, the mater used to laugh at
us. I remember quite distinctly
once I said something about what I
would do when I was a general, and
she said:
"What a ridiculous child you are!
You'll never make a soldier!"
And she told the pater about it,
and he laughed too. You don't
know how that upset me. I know (
that I was a silly little child and
that I was talking awful rot, but I
don't think they need have ridi-j
culed me like that. Anyway, after
a little bit both Clifford and I
couldn't help feeling that it wasn't
good enough. We left off saying
anything to the mater or pater
about what we wanted to be. Then
e began to keep our own counsel
about what we were actually doing.
And now we've got into a regular
habit of minding our own business
and only telling the mater things
that are really necessary. I know it
hurts her, but I can't help it now.
| And don't you think it's not altogether
my fault ??Philadelphia Inquirer.
