Mrs. Lizzie Spears Lee.

Mrs Lizzie Spears Lee, daugh
ter Of Robt and Ellen Spears, ant
wife Of j Marvin Lee, was born
Aug the 9Th 1879 and died ApriI
22nd 1908. When but a child she
gave her heart to God and Joined
the church at Hebron, Blenheim
circuit, and her life proved the
ge%nulneness of her profession.
Hers was a happy disposition,
hence she was quite a favorite
with all who knew her, both old
and young.
She had a talent for music and
it was her delight to use this tai
cnt In praise Of Him who has
endowed His children with the
power of song"
In Jan 1903 she was happily
married to Mr. j Marvin Lee, to
him she was a true helpmatc.
Her death is a great loss to the
church and community in which
she lived and especially to the
young husband and three precious
little children.
Butter her death had no terrors:
just before her spirit took its

flight she babe adicu to her hus-
band, father and brothers and be-

H%ODGEsIN HORNY
The Indications Are that He Will
Garry that County.

Carry that County.
There is a disposition in Horny
to criticise Congre ssman Ellerbe
on account Of his. alleged discrim-
nations in favor OF Georgetown,
and the indications are that Mr.
Hodges will carry Horny county,
which has q tremendous white
voting population.
The Conway Field says, in II re-
cent issue:
We notice from the papers that
Congressman Ellerbe arranged for
the agricultural and drainage raj
ly held in Georgetown Tuesday 2G.
Three government experts attend
ed the meeting, but Mr. Ellerbe
could not be present. Now rs to
the drainage part Of the rally it is
very well to hold such a meeting
in Gcorg down but when it comesto
to agricultural part it seems rather
funny, of farmers, according to
our information, are as scarce as
hens teeth in Georgetown county.
If you want to find farmers,
Georgetown is about the last place
in the State to go to look for them
Darlington Press. Most assu-
redly, and Horny was the logical
point. We have a greater area
to drain and so far as farming
goes, why we are the stuff"
Let's not vote for any man for
Congress unless he will promise
that his efforts in Congress will be
to see that the Waccamaw river
gets her share of appropriations.
She must be deepened and Horny
has 5000 votes that say she will
be.
Should Mr. Hodges receive the
nomination, the 9th District would
be we'll cared for. He is a mar of
wide business experience and has
lived close to the people. He is
prominent in church and served
his home town Bennettsville for
many years as Mayor, in which
capacity he did a great work for
the town.
MIR Hodges enters the race with
Strong backing, being the only
candidate from Marlboro county
and having been endorsed for this
honor by the county Democratic
Convention of Marlboro. HIS has
many friends in the district
who will be glad to sec him repre-
sent them, because of his fitness
and his uncompromising advoca.
cy of clean politics and efficiency
in office.
