DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.
Mrs. E. Jane Reeder Passes Away at
Home of Her Son in Columbia.
Interment at Bush River.

Mrs. E. Jane Reeder, who was well
known to large number Of people
in the town and county Of Newberry,
died in Columbia on Friday, where
she was living with her son, Mr..
James c.. Reeder. Mrs. Reeder was
little more than II years OF age.
Her body was brought to Newberry
on Saturday afternoon. A short fu-
neral service was held at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Cannon 6. Blease on
Sunday morning, and the interment
was had at the grave yard Of Bush
River Baptist church, the deceased
for many years being a member Of
that church and resident Of that
community. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Geo. A. Wright, pas
tor of the First Baptist church, of
which Mrs. Reeder was a member,
assisted by Rev. NJ. L. Banks, pastor
Of the Central Methodist church.
The deceased was the widow of
William D. Reeder, who died more
than thirty years ago. All of Mrs.
Reeder's children, except Mr.. J. c.
Reeder, preceded her to the grave.
Besides the son who was living with
her in Columbia, she leaves a sister,
Mrs. Elizabeth F. Blease, and three
grandchildren, Messrs. Reeder, Clar-
ence and Ernest McElveen, to miss
the mellowed inuuences exerted over
loved ones in the family circle by the
old member Of the home who has
reached the distant mile-post in the
journey Of life to shed a Halo and
leave hallowed memories for those
left behind in the struggle and bat
tie Of living. And thus another. de-
parted soul has taken its everlasting
fight, and one more grave is newly
made and numbered among the fresh
mounds of young wives and husbands
and others to add to the gloom of the
solemn hush that surrounds us and
bids us pause in. the mad rush and
reflect that Sin the midst of life we
are in death.''

Columbia, Feb By q vote OF

House Of Representatives today d.
feated the proposed 1000 0o9bond 1sl
issue recommended by tthe majori
committee charged with lnyestl-
cation. Of the State Hospital for tue:

without further discussion @.adopte4
the bill recommended and. Submitted
by the minority of the committee,
thereby authorizing the purchase OF,
the tract of land near Columbia an6
leaving the authority where it now
rests. :.
The vote in favor Of the minority
bill and against the bond issue was.
perhaps a little Larger than was ex-
pected, but for some time it has been
appreciated, and has been stated In
this. correspondence that the bond Is
sue was a dream which would never
come true.
By more than a two-thirds vote OF
those voting, the members Of the
house right On the spot, and who
doubtless read the reports in detail
declined to accept the bond PROPOSE
ton as recommended by the majority.
What chance the bond issue would
have had before the hundred thous-

proportion in it's favor would have
had to be directly the reverse, can
only be surmised. No bonds can be
issued except by two-third vote.

The.Lyric Glee Club.

The Lyric Glee Club, the fifth
number of the Lyceum Course, viii
give concert in Holland Hall, Feb
ruary 18th, at $50 p. N. We unhesi-
tatiDgly say that this is by Far She
best musical attraction of the season.
Their singing is of the highest order.
The instrumental music and readings
are also Of high class.
The managers Of the Lyric Glee
club have this to say:
''In presenting the club We do SO
with the confidence born Of the
knowledge that no male quartette III
the Lyceum field has attained more
enviable reputation as a company OF
cultured and charming singers: Tbey
are known from coast to coast as one
of the strongest and most popular
musical organizations in America.
There are two readers in the compa-
ny and sketches will be given, real
ings in costume, and the. bass quar-
tette will be>one Of, the strong ,fea-
lures. As a singing organization, the
Lyrics cannot be surpassed"
The Lyric Glee club appeared in
Laurens a few nights ago. The uni
:versai report is that it was the best
musical attraction Laurens has had
for a number Of years and they have
already engaged these men for next
season if it is possible for them to
return.
Aside from the quartette work,
two favorite features are the deep
rich basso solos of Tom Polk and the
artistic trombone solo work Of Mr..
Doolittle. Mr.. Covert is tenor and
flute soloist. MIR. Hendry second
tenor, cornet soloist and reader. MIR.
Doolittle is Baritone, trombone So
loist and pianist. Mr.. Tom. Polk Is
basso, reader and manager.
This is the best musical Of the
course and is one Of the very strong
est companies of its kind on the
platform. We urge all who are in
the least interested in vocal music,
instrumental music and readings to
attend this concert.
Persons not holding season tick
.ets will be charged the usual general
admission at<the door. Please bring
your tickets and please be on time.

r, F. D,s Three Cornered Meet.

,sOn February 22nd there viii be
three large meetings Of Rural Car
:riers. The carriers of *:Spartanburg
and neighboring counties will meet at
Spartanburg in the court house at
10 o'clock a. M; the carriers Of Or
angeburg and neighboring counties
will meet in the city Of Orangeburg:
and the carriers of Florence and
neighboring counties will meet in
Florence. Pres. Thos. E. Wicker Of
Newberry and Treas. A. W. Hill Of
Greenville will attend the Spartan
burg meeting; Vice-pres. E. W. CON-
er of Rock Hill will attend the Flor
enee meeting and Secretary Paul K.
Crosby of Ruffn, Colleton Co., will
attend the Orangeburg meeting.
The indications are that each Of
these meetings will be largely at
tended since there appears to be
some rivalry as to which meeting will
draw the largest number of carriers.
All carriers are urged to attend one
Of these meetings whether they are
members of the association or not.
These meetings, however, are not In
tended to interfere with the meet
ing of any county association, which
may have already made arrangements
for a meeting o2 that date.
The carriers are beginning to see
the necessity for organizing and the
more progressive ones among them are
working to this end.

Managers Earhardt & Baxter of
the city opera house are to be con-
graduated on the line of attractions
they have been offering the public

remember of there being better line
offered, one after another. But the
one that has been most depended on
since the booking Of the season be-
gan is Harry Shannen's ''The Bank

the standard attractions that has been
offered for the past nine years, play
ing some places as many as five Coz
secutive seasons. This will be the at
traction at the city opera house. on

1.-THE Girl March 4.
Tom Cunningham, a. rich mans
son, wants to marry Margaret
Simpson, ''The, Girl,' 3of the
title, q farmers daughter, who is
also at the sanitarium with her faith
er and brothers: and others. After
the smallpox quarantine IS declared,
the servants Of the hotel and sanitar-
ium desert and the guests are forced
to look after their own wants. Cum
uingham being chosen dictator Of the
place, assigns certain task to each
Of the guests. The fun grows fast
and furious when Johnny Hicks, the
slangy young gambler, is made head
cook and Margaret Simpson, who has
quarreled with Cunningham and re-
jected his suit, is ordered to do scrub
bing. She refuses and her meals are
summarily cut off. THE guests go on
a strike and refuse to work. Cum
aingham breaks the strike by jerk
ing off his coat and offering to meet
them one at time. Hicks falls IN
love. with Molly Kelly, the head
nurse.
Among some of the others in quar-
antine are Mrs. Talcott and her spoil
ed son and an Italian organ grinder.
Throughout the entertainment the
master handsof Ned Mayburn, the
stage director, can plainly be seen,
the arranging Of ehoruses ane the
grouping Of the stage pictures. The
"Dixie" number is real surprise
and is the creation Of Arthur Evans.

est and wittiest productions that will
be seen here this season.

Notes From Allendale.
By Rev. j. W. Wolling.

No doubt some Of the friends in
and around Newberry will be inter
ested to know where I am and some
thing Of what is happening in these
parts. ..
Allendale is at the junction Of the
Southern Railway with the Carolina
and Western which runs from Au-
gusta, Ca, to Charleston. The South
ern is the main line from Columbia
to Jacksonville and by here pass the
fine tourist trains from the North
We have fifteen passenger trains
day and all have, to stop here be-
cause of the crossing Of the tracks.
So that the town is lively enough in
that part about the depot, and that
is the main business part.
In appearance the surroundings of
the residence part Of the town are
quite rural with broad, well-shaded
streets, and large grounds; around
the residences. Many of the homes
are fine and in their surroundings do
credit to city. DR.. Breeland, whose
wife is a sister Of Rev. R. D. Smart,
ID. D., who used to be pastor Of the
Methodist church in Newberry, has
quite fine brick residence; Col, Dar-
ington has a comfortable, old-time
house with very large grove sur
rounding it. And indeed quite a
number9of others are modern and
we'll arranged.
The Methodist parsonage is very
comfortable.
In the city there are no industries
except large ginning plants and two
large cotton seed oil mills. There
are three large flowing wells, one of
which comes from a depth Of $50
feet with temperature Of 73 de-
Tees.
It was from this point that the
commission sent out by the United
States government to study the
transit of Venus in 1909, took their
observations and the masonry con-
structed to hold the telescopes and
other instruments now stands on the
Methodist church lot.
Speaking Of the church I would
say that it is a very attractive build
ing, half Gothic in its architecture,
we'll constructed and within beauti-
fully finished, and furnished in good
