WAS ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Sad Death OF n South Carolina Lady
Well Known Here.

The death of Mrs. j. V. Morrison, which
occurred at her home at Estill. S. c.,
last week. under distressing circum-
stances, was a grief and shock to her
friends and relatives here. Mrs. Morri-
son was sitting on the porch of her home
with her stepson, Mr.. Henry Morrison
formerly OF Savannah. sitting on a step
below her.
Seeing a pistol in Mr.. Morrison's hip
pocket, she reached down to get it, prob
ably desiring to examine it. The pistol
protruded from the pocket with the barrel
upward. In drawing it from her stepson's
pocket it is supposed that the hammer
caught in his clothing and that this caus-
ed the discharge of the weapon. The ball
passed through Mrs. Morrisons throat,
coming out in the back, below the should
er. She survived only few minutes.
The deceased was well known in Savan-
nah, being the mother of Mrs. Thomas
Purse and Mrs. George Wright and the
stepmother of DR.. A. A. Morrison and
Mr.. 7. w. Morrison, all of this city. She
was the wife of Mr.. J. V. Morrison of
Estill and the daughter of Col. John Law
ton of Lawtonville, s. c., a prominent
planter of that section. The funeral took
place Thursday, the interment being at
the family burying ground az Lawtonville

TO EXTEND ITS REPORTS.
weather Bureau VIII Take In the
Pacific Coast From Now on.

A recent act of the department of agri-
culture which went into effect yesterday
is the extension of the weather bureau
service to include reports from practically
every part of the country. Hitherto the
reports received here and at other stations
in the Eastern and Southern states have
embraced reports of the weather condi-
lions only in those states east of the
Rocky mountains, Dodge City, Kan, be-
ing he furthest station west from which
reports were included in the statements
of the weather furnish d in this part of
the country. The reason that the reports
from stations west of the Rocky noun
tains and from the Pacific coast were not
included before is that meteorological
changes which occur in that part of the
country are rarely if ever felt as far west
and south as 10 make it of any practical
value to record them.
Now, however. the department has de-
cided on the unifction of the service to
include reports from all parts of the coun-
try. The stations that will be added are
those at Spokane, Portland, O., Winnie
mucca. New, San Francisco. Los Angeles.
FL Paso, Cedar City, Utah, and Miles city
Mont. There will be added also two sta
tons in the extreme northeast, Portland
Me, and Oswego n. Y.
The appropriation for the erection of
new signal towers at Brunswick, Port
Royal. and Tybee became availa BILE on
July I, and Observer Boyer expects to
leave for Brunswick within the next few
days TO superintend the erection of the
tower at that point. Later he VIII go to
Tybee and then TO Port Royal.

WEEK IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Jefferson street Paving Case As
signed for Thursday.

This week in the Superior Court will be
devoted to the hearing of civil cases, the
consideration of criminal business having
been postponed until the last week of the
month. The civil cases have been &C
cumulating recently and there are @
number of them, of which Judge Falli-
giant is anxious 10 dispose.
The principal interest of the general
public in the cases to be heard during
the week revolves around the trial of the
Jefferson street paving cases. which have
been assigned for Thursday. The prop
erty owners on jefferson street are seek
ing to resist the payment of the city's as
sessments against them for paving the
street. on the ground that the Belgian
block pavement is altogether unsatisfac-
tory, and is an actual disadvantage to
householders, rather than a benefit.
The property owners position is
strengthened by a number of arguments,
primarily that the noise produced by The
traffic that is forced through the street
by the fact thai it is the only paved
street west OF Whitaker, running north
and south, is constant source of annoy
snce. preventing any but the most hard
ened enjoying the repose that ought to
follow a conscience at rest.
There are number of other cases to
be tried during the week, but none of
them, other than the paving case is of
any particular public interest or import
ance Court will sit each day until Satur-
day and Judge Falligant himself will not
find rest from his labors even on the
Fourth. On that day there will be no jury
in attendance, but the Judge will hear
arguments in some cases that can re -eive
attention in chambers.

MISSIONARY HUDSON SAFE.
TidinEs Received of the Arson Me-
mortal school in China.

Among the announcements at the indie
morning the pastor Rev; DIR. Fair, stated
that recent tidings confirmed the safety OF
Rev W. II. Hudson, the missionary in
China who is supported by the Ladies
Society of the Independent Church. Many
of the members have been very anxious
about Mr.. Hudson and his family since
the troubles in China began. He is sta
toned at Kashing and has charge Of the
Arson Memorial School for boys, which
is carried on in connection with a very
flourishing medical and dispensary work
for the treatment of disease among the
natives.
The subject of Dr. Fairs sermon was
the Apostolic Benediction, the text being
Cor, 1914, THE Grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ and the Love of God and the Com
munion of the Holy Ghost Be With You
All" He said the Hebrew form of bless
ing was mercy to YOU the Greek grace TO
you, the Roman, peace to you. The
Apostle took these national forms Of salu-
tation and wove them into this benedic-
ton. to show that Gods attitude to all
nations and individuals is one of blessing
and good will and kindly greeting. When
Jacob left his fathers home to go out into
the world, the patriarch laid his hand upon
the head of his child and blessed him.
so, when We leave our Fathers House
of worship to go out into the battle OF
lfe." said DR.. Fair. His blessing is pro-
nounced upon us, to remind us of His love
and willingness TO help during the dangers
and trials of the coming week"
DR.. Fair said the custom of firing three
volleys over a soldiers grave is supposed
to be derived from an ancient custom
when a Christian warrior died. If his
body was buried in cemetery near a
church, the bell was tolled three times in
the name of the Father and of the Son and
the Holy Ghost. If he was buried on the
field of battle, bugle or drum was sound
ed three times above his grave. They
seemed to feel the Christian warrior
would sleep sweetly and uudisturbed, and
holy angels would keep watch by his
sepulchre if it was censecrated by the
name of the sacred Trinity.
so may we fight the good fight OF
faith" said DR.. Fair, "and rise at last to
the victor's crown by the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the
communion of the Holy Ghost"
At night DR.. Fair preached upon the
text: Where Hast Thou Cleaned To
day." The main idea of the sermon was
the Importance of doing little things. II
was the Office of a cleaner to follow the
reapers, to gather up the grains they drop
ped. to reap the hidden places they over
looked, and the secluded corners where
they could not thrust in the scythe. So In
every community there are people who are
inaccessible to the church and little child
rem whose spiritual welfare is neglected
Let it be the christians daily work &c
bring them under the influence of Christ
