Death of Mrs. Lucille Clayton.

Ehrhardt, August 21.-On last
Sunday evening, August IA, at 3
o'clock, the death angel visited the
home of Mr.. Laurie Clayton, taking
away his beloved wife, Lucille She
was aged "a years, months and
a few days. Her remains were laid
to rest at o'clock Monday after
noon in Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Gene
terry. She was sick only a few days.
Her death came unexpected. Lucille
was kind and affectionate, and her
sweet life had so entwined it's cords
around the hearts of those who knew
her that they were hard to be broken.
No one knew her but to love her.
She left many sad hearts to mourn
her departure. She was too precious
to live here, so the Lord took her to
His mansion in heaven. May this
sad incident bring God in Christ
nearer the bereft. MANY are the
Affections of the righteous but the
Lord delivereth him out of them all" {"

Editor Bamberg Herald: The peo-

KILLED OVER CHECKER GAME
Lonnie Toomer Kills julius Grayson
With Rifle.

Mr.. H. c. Folk, in writing to the
News and Courier Of the fight which
took place on Mr.. j. A. J. Rice's
place near town last week, and which
was mentioned in this paper, says:
AS the result of a game of check
ers, Julius Grayson, a 16-year-old ne
gro boy, was killed on the plantation
of Mr.. J. A. J. Rice yesterday after
noon by Lonnie Toomer, also colored,
and about IL years old. The wound
ed boy was found in the yard of
the premises, where he was shot, in
an unconscious condition. Upon be-
ing questioned, Toomer said he had
struck Grayson with stick. A
physician was called in, and it was
soon developed that he had been shot
in the forehead. Little Lonnie
Toomer then admitted that he and
Grayson had a dispute over game
of checkers and that Grayson struck
him and cut at him with a knife,
whereupon he ran into the house,
got a rifle and shot him. He said he
then took up the baby, of which he
was the nurse, and went to the field,
where others were at work, leaving
the wounded boy alone. He does not
seem to have any remorse of con-
science or to realize the enormity of
his act.
Grayson died last night. An in
quest was held over the body of the
deceased this morning, and Lonnie
Toomer is in Jail to await trial at
the next term of court.

Life of q One Dollar Bill.

1t is a matter of record in the treas
ury department that the life of the
one-dollar and two-dollar bills is be-
coming shorter each year. A bill of
either of these denominations does
not remain in circulation now much
over thirteen months. At one time
the life of small bill was about two
and a half years. This has been
gradually reduced, and the ragged
and dirty money that comes into the
treasury now for destruction is sell
dom over two years old. The new
money washing machine installed in
Washington, to cleanse this money, is
expected to have some effect IN
lengthening the life of the currency,
but it is not believed it will greatly
prolong it's Observation-Disclosures

CANDIDATES AT DENMARK.
Would-be Legislators Break Even on
Whiskey Issue.

Denmark, August 23.-The cam
paign meeting was held here to-day.
Capt J. B. Guess was called to pre-
side, and after prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Morris the candidates were called on
to express their views.
There was good crowd in attend
ance, but the melting was very quiet.
One of the candidates for the Legis-
lature spoke for prohibition and one
for local option; the other two did
not express an opinion either way.
Mr.. H. W. Walker created ripple
Of excitement by his criticisms Of the
bill of expenses of the county suber-
visor.
The Denmark concert band gave
their services free and rendered a
number of selections between the
speeches. When the band played
"Dixie'' the whole auditorium ap'
plauded for the first time.
The sentiment in regard to local
option and prohibition seemed to
be evenly divided here. Feather
stone, Mcleod and Blease will get
the most votes in this county. Be-
fore adjournment Capt. Guess offered
a resolution of thanks to the band
which was unanimously carried.

Killed by Train.

An unknown negro was killed at
Hays's saw mill about 2 miles above
town last Sunday morning by the
early excursion train going to
Charleston. Coroner Zeigler held an
inquest over the body the same morn
ing, and the verdict of the jury was
that he came to his death by being
struck by the train. One of the rail-
road men said that the negro had
stopped by the track and built up a
fire and lay down and went to sleep.
The noise of the approaching train
woke him up and he seemed to be-
come confused and started to cross
the track when the train struck him,
killing him instantly. The remains
were not identified, and the body was
buried at the expense of the county.

Death of Mrs. Clayton.

On Sunday afternoon at o'clock,
August IA, 1910, the white winged
angel of death visited and cast a
bloom over the home of Mr.. Laurie
R. Clayton, taking away the fair and
lovely young wife of little more
than six years.
Through these short years most
happily spent, they have built up an
ideal little home for two. Now this
happy home is marred, face once
loved is missed, the vacancy can't
be filed, but Goods will be done"
Being of a sweet and lovable nature,
no one knew her but to love her,
and she never forgot to return their
affections.
She has been a constant sufferer
from appendicitis for some months,
but during her brief confinement OF
only three days, she willingly per-
mitted any one to assist her and
gratefully acknowledged every atten-
ton. Mrs. Lucille (Fender) Clayton
was aged "a years, 6 months and a
few days.
She will not only be missed in the
home but in the community in which
she lived, but most of all in the
church and Sunday-school where she
carefully instructed that class OF lit
tie boys, impressing upon their minds
the noble lives they might lead.
She was consistent member OF
Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church from
early childhood, ever faithful to her
sunday-school, and for the past few
wears an earnest and instructive
teacher.
On the. day following her DEATH
after suitable services by her pastor
Rev. D. B. Groseclose, and in the
nresence of a host of friends and
relatives, her body was laid to rest
IN the Mt. Pleasant cemetery to await
the resurrection or the just. MaS
this sad incident bring God in Christ
nearer the homes Of the bereft.
"Many are the aflictions OF the
righteous, but the Lord delivereth
him out of them ALL" Weep not,
then, sorrowing ones as those who
have no hope for you can meet that
face in glory. She can't come to you
hn+ isn't if such a sweet consolation
to know that you can go to her.
We extend our heart felt sympathy
to the bereaved husband and parents
also those dear brothers and sisters
who will some day follow in her foot
steps. ii

Good Meeting at Black Creek.

Dear Editor: It affords me great
pleasure to inform you of the sue
cess of a series of meetings just
closed at Black Creek church, Col
Teton county. This is one of our
oldest country churches. The meet
ing began on the fifth Sunday In
July with Rev. o. J. Frier, Of Bam-
berg, to preach for us. There was
great interest manifest from the
first, and ere the meeting closed,
twenty-nine had confessed faith in
our Lord and were baptized into
the fellowship of the church on the
first Sunday in August, when the
meeting came to a close.
I don't know when have had a
brother pastor to assist me in a
meeting with whom I felt more IN
harmony than with Bro. Frier. Our
views seemed to coincide prefectly.
Bro. Frier has no cut-and-dried meth
DDS Of conducting his meeting, a
fact which I heartily appreciate. l
am sure the secret Of success was
in the simple gospel sermons.
Having known Bro. Frier in Flori-
Ga, as we were both pastors there
it was, indeed, a great pleasure to
have him with me now. If any Of
our pastors should be so fortunate
as to secure Bro. Frier for meet
ing am sure they will never regret
it. We especially appreciate the
presence of Mrs. Frier, and the
added pleasure her music AFFORDED.

A SHORT REPLY TO IMPUDENCE

Apostle Joseph +. Smith, Jr, in his
address in the tabernacle Yesterday
- halcngcd any one to show where and
when the leading authorities Of the
church have taught the people anything
that would not make them better men
and women and better citizens eve
quote from the church organ.) And he
proceeded on the assumption that this
could not be shown. But to show 1T is
easy. .
1t was not calculated to make men
and women better or better citizens
to teach the pestlferous doctrine of
poly2amy; nor to teach them that it is
their duty TO pay ten per cent Of their
earnings 10 the priesthood without get.
ting an accounting as TO what is done
with their money; nor that it is their
duty 60 obey their ecclesiastical leaders
in temporal as we'll as spiritual matters,
thus making these leaders their political
and temporal overlords; nor that il is
the people IS duty to lie in order to con.
ccal the transgressions OF their priests.
All these things, and many others, Gas
blood atonement,) have been taught by
"thc leading authorities of the church,
to the dctrmcnt of good citizenship,
and to the damage of the moral char.
actcr of their people.

THE OMITTED PART.

On Thursday evening the Deseret
the speech Of President Joseph +. Smith,
that in this speech he Alludos in un-
mlstakable terms to the policy of the
church in reference to the matter of re-
cent plural marriages. A diligent read
ing of that speech however fails to
disclose any alusion whatever, either
in unmistakable terms or otherwise, TO
the policy of the church in reference TO
matters of recent plural marriages, to
former plural marriages. or TO any sort
Of plural marriages. He said nothing
whatever on that subject In this case,
as in the Rejected Addresses the
best part was left out.
The conclusion is irresistible that
somebody with large, potent blue pen
Gil. got hold of that address of Presi-
dent Joseph +. Smith aud struck out
everything relating TO polygamy, leav-
i'm him simply as craven suppliant
before his people on his dishonored
pledge breaking, his criminal attitude
Of ''taking his chances against the
law - He finds that his own brethren
are censurng himSfor his dishonorable
course. for his broken pledges and for
his attitude in repudlating his voluntary
promises in behalf of the church and in
behalf Of those who made them, that
there would be no further dsobcdeuce

The Tribune has kept constantly be.
fore The public of Utah the fact of
Joseph j.. Smith S perfidy in this mat
ter, giving the exact words Of the Off
cial report of his testimony in the
Smoot case and contrasting those with
the pledges he made to the country;
and TO the people of Utah at the time
that Statehood was asked from the
Congress and the people of the United
States.
The result is that Smith is put on the
defensive before his own people He is
criticised. and Justly criticised, among
his followers for his pledge breaking
and his falschoods. 1t is evident that
4 dishonored pledgc-breaker, a man who
defies both the laws Of God and man
is not fit leader for religious peo
pie.
The burden of religious leadership
is not to be borne upon Iawless, God
