Died at the Age of 112 Years.

Union, May 22.-Hannah Kelley,
an old negress reputed to be over 112
years of age, and who several years
ago won widespread notoriety by cut
ting, what appeared to be, her third
set of teeth, has just died here.
Aunt" Hannah, as the old woman
was called, was born at Fish Dam
Ferry on the Broad river. in this
county, and apparently well authen-
ticated records show that her birth
occurred about January, 1877, on
the plantation of Mr.. William Kelley,
long since dead, to whom she belong
ed, and who gave her at his death to
his son, DR.. James Kelley, in whose
family she lived for many years.
For quite while Aunt Hannah
has lived in Union, near the Excelsior
Knitting Mills, with her daughter,
Rachel English, who is herself quite
an old woman.
It was about three years ago that
"Aunt' Hannah was reported to be
cutting her third set of teeth, but a
dentist of this city, who examined
her, then expressed the opinion that
what appeared to be several new
teeth, was but the roots of former
set of teeth, which we're becoming ex-
posed because of shrinkage in the
gums. At that time the old woman,
though about 100 years old, appeared
in unusually good health, and was
able to walk about the yard without
assistance.

Progressive Farming.

That South Carolina in general
and Bamberg county in particular
possesses land equal in every re-
spect to that of the West is being
demonstrated by Mr.. D. R. Matheny,
who resides about two miles from
this place. Mr.. Matheny is now en-
gagged in harvesting a crop of rye
which is without doubt the largest
acreage ever planted in South Car
olina Of this grain. On seventy acres
of land he has grown about 1000 or
1,500 bushels of rye equal in every
particular to that grown on the fer
tile plains of the West.
While a pioneer in the matter OF
grain growing in this part of the
country, Mr.. Matheny has shown
conclusively that it can be raised at
a profit and on the same land that
produces the rye he intends to grow
a crop of corn, thus making two
crops on the same land in one year:
Mr.. Matheny sent to The Herald
Office this week a specimen of his
rye consisting of ninety-two heads
grown from one seed. He says that
IQ1S Is uOC q S0lSCISu SpSCluOu, OuI
is only a fair sample of his entire
crop.
It is a we'll known fact that North
ern seed rye will not grow In this
country, but runs along the ground
producing absolutely no grain. 1t is
only after three or four years of ex-
pertinent that Mr.. Matheny has sue
ceeded in producing Southern
grown rye that will reproduce and
in consequence has practically the
only seed rye that can be obtained
in any quantity in South Carolina.
1t is the progressive farmers of
this kind who are bound to succeed
in farming and who never complain
of the low price of cotton. They use
their brains as we'll as their hands
and add another unanswerable argu-
ment in favor of greater diversified
ton of crops.
It is Mr.. Matheny's purpose to put
this rye on the market for seed just
as soon as he has completed thresh-:
ing it and we have no doubt but
what it will find ready sale among
the farmers of this section.

More Improvement.

In keeping with the other building
and improvement going on in Bam-
berg just now, Mr.. and Mrs. c. ]. S.
Brooker are preparing to greatly en-
large and improve the Mayfower Inn.
They will employ an architect at once
to draw plans for the additions,
which will include number of bed
rooms, bath rooms, etc., as we'll as
general remodeling Of the present
hotel building. When their plans are
carried out, the Mayfower Inn will
be one Of the largest as we'll as the
handsomest hotels in the low coun-
try. This hostelry has always been
admirably conducted, and is very
popular with the travelling public,
and this enlargement is made neces-
sary by the growing patronage.

NEWS AND NOTICES
Pastor O. ]. Frier returned from
the Southern Baptist convention at
Louisville, KY, last Thursday, full OF
the great meeting; and Sunday
morning gave us his impressions OF
it. He said first that he thought OF
this great convention of Southern
Baptists as a great Baptist exposi-
ton, exhibiting what we are, and
what we are doing as a people.
In the second place, he regarded 1t
as the great heart-center from which
our denominational life and work re-
ceived it's impetus and coloring.
At the evening service the theme
was, "Paul's faith as Christian, ~
showing that it did not rest in any
sense on his mortality, experiences,
attainments or self-sacrificing work,
but only in the personal Christ. That
the ground of his assurance lay not
in the hold which he had on Christ,
by faith, but the hold Christ had on
him through his faith.
The Sunbeam Band will meet in
it's regular meeting next Friday aft
ernoon.
There will be no preaching service
in the Baptist church next Sunday, as
the pastor is to preach the mission
ary sermon at the union meeting at
Barnwel1,' and because Of the COM
mencement services of the. Fitting
School here on that day.
The executive committee of the
Barnwell Association will hold it's
quarterly meeting in Blackville
Thursday.
It Is with deep sorrow that we note
the sad death of Sister O'Neal recent
ly. Our sympathies go out to Deacon
J. T. O'Neal and wife, also other
relatives, in their bereavement.

SEATTLE ONLY
HAD CHANCE

When a postponement OF the +.
N. A. meet was called by Seattle
club men about a week ago, after
Spokanes representatives had
been thoroughly trained down by
hard work, some people on this
side of the Cascades felt sus-
picious. They feel certain some
thing was fixed now, since the de-
cision of the meet at Seattle last
night, when all the honors were
given to the Seattle club men. I'm
biased decisions didn't seem to do
it all, either.
! In fact, Tom Mcfarland, the
lightweight from the s. A. A. c.,
put it over Pete McVeigh so regu-
larly that one of the judges gave
his decision in favor of Mcfarland,
but because the other Judge be-
lieyed McVeigh had the best of the
four round bout, the referee I'M
hesitatingly gave the Seattle man
| the decision.
Chris Gasek, Spokane's 145
poundwrestler, beat Bill Ward OF
the s. A. c. but lost the honors
shortly afterward by being bested
by Oliver Monroe of Seattle. AT
lone stage of the game, Portland
and Spokane were both seriously
considering withdrawing from the
| contests.

NO hit, NO RUN
FOR K|NSELLA

Error bugs infested the Indian
tribe again and they gave the
Colts their three score freeze out
on ewors and weak playing be-
hind Jensen. Jensen was doing
his best to pitch a good game, but
James was persistently erroneous
in his playing. He made three OF
the four registered against the
Spokane team and allowed -Cooney
and Mullin to score on two OF
them. The bug crawled into Ost-
dicks bonnet. too, causing him to
heave a costly wild one over Sec
ond.
Kinsella. the Colts rangey pitch,
-er, had Spokane's best batters
goats all the way through, not one
of them being able to get good
safe swat at any of the balls he
pitched. KMsella had first class
backing in the field and on the
bases, too, and not single
nborigine got so far as third. In
fact, Weed, Brinker and Clynes
were the only ones to get to the
first bag.
Clynes emigrated there twice on
passes and Weed and Brinker got
there by errors. In all, Is of the
Spokane bunch went dead at first
and four of them fouled out to the
Colts catcher Murray. Good in
fielding blotted out the remainder
of their happy dreams.

BATTLING NELSON


Special Correspondence to The Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2S.--
Battling Nelson. he of the iron
jaw, and Dick Hyland, a pretender
to the lightweight championship
throne, are slated to supply to-
morrow's pugilistic dish in Cof-
froth's fight arena here, and to-
night local patrons of the boxing
game are smacking their lips in an
ticipation of one grand scrap. The
bout will be for the worlds light
weight championship and the two
lads will have as rounds in which
to settle the question of SUI
premacy.
Nearly everybody of sporting
turn of mind is discussing the af-
fair today. Some seem to feel
that the Battler is due to take a
thrashing. while others are conf.
dent that he will easily retain his
championship laurels. The gener'
al opinion is, however, that the go
ing will be good and fast while II
lasts.
Nelson will no doubt find Hyland
much tougher game than he has
ever before tackled The local
lightweight is built like NINA
ture Sandow and unlike most OF
the others who have fallen before
the Durable Dane he makes his
main attack on the body instead
of the head. Heretofore, hitting
Nelson on the jaw has been like
trying to break the Rock of Gibral

THOMPSON TIES KNOTS
in CAT TAILS

The shivering Black Cats were
shut out in the cold with not even
a bone to snarl over, while the
Turks boarded up four handsome
scores at Seattle. Gus Thompson
pitched the game and as he has
done in six others of his eight
games. he refused to let them get
too far away with the ball. He
walked no one.
Sievers pitched for Aberdeen and
did fairly well, striking out eight
men and allowing but five hits,
but some way luck was with the
Turks.

tar by hitting it with a flock of
tennis baIls.H 1t now remains tc
be seen if he can as well with
stand the hiding he is sure to get
in the body.
As to style, Bat and Dick are
quite alike. Both are aggressive,
two-handed fighters and both pre-
fer the close range sort of milling.
Hyland is probably the harder
puncher of the pair, but the Dane
has it on him for speed. Nelson is
bit taller and has a shade the
longer reach.

The worlds record for going to
first is held by Bullet" Thoney OF
the Boston team, who hunted and
reached first in 31-5 seconds, at
Cincinnati in the field day games.
Thoney is one of the fellows who
is in motion the instant his bat
hits the ball. He has a getaway
stride like a Rector or a Walker.
