DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.
Miss NJ. E. Baldwin, Of Cordova,
Dies After Short Illness.

Miss M. E. Baldwin, daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. Henry l.. Baldwin,
died at the home of her parents near
Cordova about eight o'clock on Sat
urday night after very short ILL
ness with hemorrhagic fever. Miss
Baldwin, who was teaching, was in
her school room up to four days Of
her death. After being seized with
the terrible disease, she soon passed
away, and her loved ones are left
desolate and the community in which
she lived is made poorer.
She was young lady Of many
accomplishments and a leader in all
good works in her community. She
was q consistent member Of the
Methodist church, and was active In
pushing forward the work Of the
Master on earth. Members Of Wes-
ley Grove Church, where she held
her membership, say that her active
work in that church was never ceas-
ing, and that her place In that con-
gregation will indeed be hard to I'LL.
The passing of such a young wo-
man is not only a loss to the church,
but to the community in which she
lived and wrought.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon at Wesley Grove
Church, and were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. T. G. Harmon, Jr. 1t
was very largely attended, as Miss
Baldwin was most highly esteemed
by a large circle Of relatives and
friends. In addition to her father
and mother, she leaves five brothers
and four sisters to mourn her death
but they have the sweet consolation
of knowing that their loved one is
safe in the upper and better world,
where some day she will again greet
them. Miss Baldwin was about
twenty-four years of age.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Nine-Year-Old Boy Accidentally Kills
Young Negro.

On Saturday afternoon the nine.
year-old son of Mr.. Donald Cherry,
who lives in the St. George Church
neighborhood, of the Fork, accident
ally sho and killed the son of Will
liam Dantzler, colored boy about
nine years old. There Were no eye
witnesses to the tragedy, except the
small children of Mr.. Cherry and of
the negro. The coroner held an in
quest on Sunday and verdict of ac-
cidental killing was rendered.
From the story of the children it
seems that the little Cherry child,
who had just returned from Orange
burg, was taking his gun from the
wagon and in unbreaching it to re-
move the shells, the gun was acci-
dentally discharged and the full
load struck the colored boy, blow
ing his head of.

It is built of concrete blocks, but

,Us CHARGES AGAINST
BERKELEY OFFICIALS.
County Board OF Registration oFaer.
cd to Show Cause Why They
should Not be Removed.

The action of the board Of regis
f;tration OF Berkeley county refusing
Ito meet and transfer certain voters
from one voting precinct to another
so as they could vote on the ques-
&ion Of annexation, certain part Of
Berkeley county to Orangeburg coun-
ay. was brought to head Saturday
when Governor Ansel ordered the
board Of registration to show cause
ON next Monday why the members
should not be removed from Office.
The members Of the Berkeley board
of registration are: c. B. Davis OF
Beehera. T. 3. Jackson of Holly Hill,
D. ". Cross of Cross.
Major W. L. Glaze, representing
certain citizens OF Berkeley county,
charges that the Berkeley board has
not met for three months and that
certain voters who wished to have
their registration tickets made out
from their certificates in order to
be able to vote in the approaching
election for the annexation of por-
sion of Berkeley to Orangeburg were
not able to do so. The whole mat
ter has been considerably aired by
an affidavit from one residing in the
district affected by the alleged action
or non-action of the Berkeley board.
The letter written to Governor
Ansel by Major Glaze states that
teyery effort has been made to have
the supervisors meet and change
ahe certificates of the voters who re-
side in the part of Berkeley which
1t is proposed to annex to Orange
burg but. who registered to vote at
a precinct located in part of Berk-
eley not included in the portion to
be annexed to Orangeburg." 1t is
also stated by Major Glaze that the
board has not met for three months
as required by law and that the
wish of him and others is to have the
people qualified to vote.
The afidavit of Thomas L. Con-
nor, resident of Berkeley in that por-
tion proposed to be annexed, is ap-
pended. This affidavit sets out that
there are 80 citizens of Berkeley who
reside in that portion who are reg
dstered to vote at Calamus Pond
precinct which is outside of the pro-
posed territory. These voters, 1t is
set out, wish to change their voting
place to Eutawville, which is within
that portion proposed to be annexed
That deponent has applied to the
board of registration to hold meet
Sng but this board has failed, re-
fused and neglected to meet or to
change the certificates so that the
voters may vote in the approaching
election.
There is an election to be held
shortly when the report of the com
1nissioners in this matter is expected
The proposition seems to be that the
whole thing has the tinge OF Local
politics" in this election. However
the matter will be thrashed out on
the 22nd when the members of the
Berkeley board appear before Gov
ernor Ansel. About 100 miles OF
territory is affected.

They BRING SUIT
ON CONTRACT FOR FAILURE TO
DELIVER THE COTTON
At the Price Agreed on Last May,
the Price Having Advanced Far
Beyond That Stipulated.


Beyond That Stipulated.
A case of much interest to the
farmers generally, and those who
sold their cotton before 1t was made
specially, was filed last Friday in
the United States Circuit Court at
Charleston by the cotton firm - of
Alexander Sprunt & Son against
Hurst-Streator Company, of Chester
field. The case grows out of an al
legged contract to deliver cotton, the
contract, so the plaintiffs claim, hav-
ing been made last May, the allega-
ton being that 1t was not completely
carried out.
The price to be paid for the cot
ton, so the plaintiffs allege, was 10
cents for middling, and that at the
expiration Of the contract, the price
was Il IA cents per pound, and that
I the difference in the price totaled
S6,146.8S on the 800 bales called
for in the contract, less the amount
delivered, for which amount the suit
is brought.
The outcome Of the case will be
watched. with much interest by farm
ers generally. 1t is known that some
farmers lost by making contracts
before the season opened, as the price
of cotton took a phenomenal rise
from the start, and the high price
was not foreseen.
In their complaint Sprunt & S"ll
allege "that on the 18th day of May,
1909, the defendant executed its
contract in writing with the plain
tiff, whereby it sold and undertook
and agreed to deliver to the plaintiff
between the 18th day of September,
1909, and the 31st of October, 1903,
800 bales of middling cotton, to
weigh five hundred pounds each, 5
per cent more or less, for which
plaintiffs were to pay the defend

GENTLY SANK TO SLEEP.
The Passing of Bright, Sweet Young
Girl From Among Us.

Rosaline, the eldest daughter Of
Rev. and Mrs. L. P. McGee, gently
fell asleep on Sunday morning at
half-past six o'clock, after all that
could be done was done during an
illness of several days to restore her
to health. She was only eleven years
of age when her pure spirit winged
it's flight to the beautiful, bright
world from whence it came, but she
left the impress of her pure life on
all who came in contact with her.
She was a bright, sweet young girl,
innocent and beautiful, standing on
the threshold of young womanhood.
when the angels came for her and
bore her away to the home above,
where there is no more tears, no
more sorrow and no more parting
of loved ones. In that beautiful
land she awaits, more beautiful
than ever, the coming of the loved
ones she has left here after life's
ftful fever with them is over. 1t
is hard for us to interpret the pass
ing away from among us of one so
young, innocent and beautiful, with
life and its charms just opening up
before her, the idol of her parents
and sister, and with the prospect of
long and happy life before her, but
sometime, somewhere, we shall un-
'derstand.
"Oh! it is hard to take to heart
The lesson that such deaths teach,
But let no one reject it,
For it is one all must learn,
And is mighty, universal truth
When death strikes down the in
nocent and young,
For every fragile form from which
he let's
The parting spirit free,
A hundred virtues rise
In hopes of mercy, charity and love
To walk the world and bless it.
OF every tear
That sorrow :g mortals shed on such
green graves
Some good is born, some gentler
nature comes"

continued rains and cool nights are
badly against cotton.
There will be several Of "General

We will have short while now for

duction of watermelons, frying size
chickens, etc., to dispose Of a part
of them.
Owing to so much rain this has
been a very difficult crop to work
but if we have favorable seasons from
now on there will be a very good crop
made in this section.
The barbecues are starting out pref
ty freely this summer and we suppose
little too often, but everybody that
can, ought to attend the one to be

work should start in at least three
widely separated parts of the county.
Prof. Sigh spoke Of the advantages
Of good roads, of the saving to the far
mers in wear and tear on vehicles and
Of the increase in the value Of lands
which they would bring about, and OF
the very important consideration that,
from experience, it had been found
that those counties which had good
roads increased in population. while
those which did not have good roads
actually decreased, and in many OF
those which had decreased IN popula-
ton the population of the towns had
increased. making the decrease IN the
country districts all the more marked.
Good roads meant increased popula-
tion. aud good churches and schools.
In answer to questions from the
audience. Prof. Sligh said that the
railroads and telegraph lines in the
county would pay one ninth OF the
bond issue. The railroads and the
cotton mills in the towns Of Newberry
and Whitmire would pay over half
this not taking into consideration the
rev mill which was soon to be erect
ed in Newberry, and other enterprises
which we're likely to com eto Newberry.
No. l township, as at present assess
ed, would pay $4,000 Or over one
