News of the death of Mrs Emma E McGill was received here yesterday morning, causing sincere sadness and sorrow to the many relatives and friends of this estimable woman. Mrs McGill was the youngest daughter of Capt and Mrs John E; Scott, of Cedar Swamp. She was1 born in 1871, and would have been* 43 years old next August. In 1890 she was happily married j to Mr John Y McGill, who, with five!( children, survives her. Besides her' immediate family she leaves to1 mourn their loss, her mother, Mrs Marian E Scott, three brothers and j, one sister: Mrs J E Kennedy, Dr D i C Scott. Messrs Thomas M Scott and j, Mr N D Lesesne, all of whom now reside in Kingstree. Not the least; of those who feel stricken with sor- !| row by the death of this admirable I, woman is the writer of these lines,.); the editor of The Record. We were j, reared together and almost like that of a sister are we affected by her death. ( To say that the deceased was be- < loved by every one in the community where she lived her life of devo- i tion to the welfare of others would j be superfluous to those who knew her best. Suffice it to say that all j the virtues and graces that go to ( adorn the ideal type of noble worn- j anhood were hers, and "none knew her but to love her, none named her but to praise." 11 The funeral services and inter- , ment took place this morning in the presence of a large concourse of ; relatives and friends who gathered ] * ?

As we close our forms this morning a bevy of pretty tomato club girls are gathering on the court house green to witness and participate in the canning demonstration work to be conducted by Miss Edith Parrott, State Tomato club organizer, and the local agent, Miss Amanda Edwards. Everything is in readiness for the work. Several - * -P L 17*1 ! crates 01 iresn nunua wmawcs and green beans are on hand ready to be put through the necessary process. Tables, cooking apparatus and all other essential paraphernalia are on the ground,and there is every indication that the canning demonstration work will be a successful feature of the day's programme. The meeting of the tomato club workers will be called to order in the court house at 11 a. m. by Mr R N Speigner. Prayer will be offered by Rev P S McChesney and addresses will be made by Mr Speigner, Miss Edith L Parrott,and Prof C J Nevin, of Clemson college. Owing to the splendid rain yesterday afternoon, which has brought about a most desirable opportunity for putting out tobacco plaDts, it is very probable that a large number of our representative farmers will elect to stay at home today for that work. However, there are a good many in town already, and by the hour set for the mass meeting this afternoon we hope to see many more. The following programme has been arranged for the entertainment of those interested in the county fair project: PROGRAMME. County Fair Mass Meeting at School Auditorium, 12 o'clock noon.

In the oratorical contest Zeno Montgomery, Kingstree's representative, was chosen one of the eight out of thirty for the final contest, selection counting ten points and delivery ninety points.

As a result he is the proud possessor of a handsome gold medal. McFadden was in on the finals for the hurdle race and acquitted himself well. This, placed Kingstree eighth in athletics.
