Whereas, it las pleased the Su-
preme Architect of the universe in
his infinite wisdom, to call from la
bors here to his reward in better
world, Brother Edwin Harman, a
long AID faithful member of Lexing-
ton Lodge, No 152, A. 2. NJ, and
whereas the Masonic fraternity, of
Lexington county and Of South Caro-
lima has lost true and devoted broth
er, and this worshipful Lodge wise,
prudent and trusted member, whose
views and counsels were ready at our
command; and whereas, it is meet
and proper that this Lodge should
place upon record its appreciation of
him as a member, therefore, be it
Resolved 1. That this worshipful
Lodge deplores the loss of our hon

our most heartfelt and deepest SYM
pathy to the widow and family Of our

The Lexington County Medi-
cal association on Monday
passed a resolution, which viii be
found in another column, that is of
vast Importance to the people gener-
ally. Our doctors have advised us
well in regard to vaccination, thor
ough and complete, being the only
means of stamping out smallpox,
which fact can be attested by almost
every inhabitant of this town and vi
cinity in our experience of two years
ago, and could any one previously re-
alize what smallpox in the home Or
community means in actual suffering
for the afflicted; anxiety and distress
of those exposed and debarred from
free intercourse among relatives and
friends by quarantine; and the fnan-
cial and commercial losses, they
would never need urging to their duty
in this matter, and we feel confident
that DIR. Matthias will have ample en-
couragement from both the profess
sion and laity in his efforts in perma-
nently stamping out this loathsome
and much dreaded disease. We SIM
cerely trust that no one would so far
forget his duty to himself and to his
fellowman as to oppose such an effort
openly, secretly Or otherwise.

A Card Of Thanks.

Mr.. Editor, ,pleasepermit me through
your columns to return thanks to all
who contributed to the donation re-
ceived at the parsonage on New
Years day. There was left for future
use considerable quantities of -four,
potatoes, sugar, coffee, rice, hominy,
chickens, eggs, butter, canned fruit,
breakfast foods, lard, some pork and
sausage, and other things of service
to the inward man. Nor was prince"
my faithful horse forgotten. A nice
lot of corn and fodder was placed in
the barn for him. In this connection
a hearty "thank you' is returned to
the person who had q fine turkey
placed on the back porch on Christ
mas night. It was greatly enjoyed.
For all these and other gifts receiv-
ed during the Christmas season, and
time to time during the past year, [
am truly grateful. All these kind
nesses are the most highly appreciated
because they come as tokens Of good
viii from a kind people, among Whcm
the writer mas humbly tried to do the
Masters will. May the New Year be
fall of richest blessings for all.
Sincerely,
3. D. Wessinger.

Wilmot Coanor.

While our holidays had their pleas
ures they have brought Us their tales
Of sadness. It is truly written that
while the old must die, the young may
Gle. The departing warnings of our
holidays have said that the young
have died. A. new mound in the
Swansea cemetery will hereafter
mark the resting place CT cur young
friend Wilmot Conner, who will now
sleep ia the city Of the dead. For
several months Wiknot had been
continual sufferer and fCr many lcng
weary weeks was confEed 70 his room
at Styx, the home Of the Conncrs,
But on Sunday evening the 3oth Of
December, death severed the ties
that bind us to earth and his spirit
entered into the spiritual world, his
face aglow with smiles and his ex-
pressive countenance bidding adieu
to the loved cnes gathered around
him. Nearly entering on his 10th
year his pilgrimage met its happy end
ard his life denied an entrance into
the year Of his majority and citizen
ship. In the last years of his life an
entire change had come over him ard
the end of the chapter told such a
different version to the presace Of his
life. Some months before his death
he had joined the Methodist church
and his aims, his speech, his entire
self gave continued confirmation to
the blessed reality that although a
man die, yet be shall live again.
On Monday Of the last day of 1906,
his body was brought to Swansea
cemetery where the bereaved family
was met by such concourse of our
citizens that the family can have no
doubt that the dead young man and
lis bereaved kindred have many kind
sympathizers. At 3 o'clock the
funeral services were held at tho
grave, conducted by Rev. J. G. Holly
of the New Brookland station. His
theme was beautifully setforth as life
a struggle and death rest, and quiet
composure at it's close; as life the
contrast and health and death the re-
spite and triumph when the conflict
is DER; that death was not the end
but the door to enjoy the fruits of
CONQUEST, that death had neither ter
rors nor pangs for the Christian.
He leaves a mother, Mrs. Rose
Hayes of Styx, and two brothers:
James Connor CT Styx and Charlie
Conner of St. Augustine, Fla. He
was the youngest son CT John w.
Conner, we'll known throughout Lex
ington county, who now sleeps be-
side his so.l in the Swansea grave
ward. Spectator.

The South Carolina Public Service
Corporation, OF which we have made
mention in these columns, have
moved their headquarters from Or
angeburg to Charleston. The compa-
ny is capitalized at ten million dol
lars and a meeting will be held on
Jan. 9Th, for the purpose of electing
officers, etc. This enterprise should
receive the support Of all the people
along the proposed route. There has
never been an undertaking that
means SO much for this State and the
people should grasp at this opportu-
nifty to increase her resources. We
want the road, we need it; South Car
oina needs it; and the best way to
get it is to put your shoulders to the
wheel and push until the road is COM
pleted.

inasmuch as it stated that the firm Of

error; the firm of Stevens & Cato are
doing business at Monetta, Saluda
