Tribute to Lille May Humphries
By a Loving Friend.

When the news reached Edge
field, that Lille May Bussey Hum
phries had breathed her last on
last Saturday morning at o'clock,
her many friends here were shocked
beyond measure.
Having known her from infancy,
and having had her in my home for
two years, and loving her as l did,
l feel inclined in my humble way
to write few lines as loving
tribute to her memory.
Well do l remember years ago,
when it was my privilege to help
train the children at Modoc, how
willingly she would always do her
part. In my imagination, 1 can see
her now, little tot of only a few
summers, as she recited for the first
time in church; with her little out
stretched hands,she repeated: God
loves a cheerful giver. Give us
something for the little children"
That was her first attempt at elocu-
tion, but by no means the last.
She possessed a bright mind, and
her doting parents spared neither
pains nor money in cultivating her
,llents. She made good use of hel
opportunities, and just three years
ago graduated at the S. G. G. /.
with high honors. Her parents felt
well repaid then,. for. all the sacri-
fees they had made for the fine
record she had made in school.
She possessed all those qualities
of mind and heart, that it takes to
make true woman. She was mod
est and reserved, at the same time
always ready to defend the right.
Duty was her watchword, and she
never shirked it; was always ready
and willing to perform any duty
required of her by the church.
Nearly two years ago, she was mar
ried to Mr.. Ray Humphries of Un-
ion. Their married life, though
short was happy one.
How our heart goes out to her
heart broken parents, husband,
brothers and sisters, knowing how
they loved her, and how I wish
could give some word of consola-
ton, but we can only point them to
a loving Saviour who alone can
give comfort. We cannot under
stand these things now, but, Some
time we'll understand"
May the sweet and gentle spirit.
Of Lille May rest on her little Sis
ters, and may her life be an inspi-
ration to her loved ones here.
One who loved her dearly,
M. Wates.,

realizing that it had been long
time she added, ,ssthat she was very
small then. We all give her broad
welcome.
Mrs. Sanford and Miss bessie
left last week and "Sick's" eyes have
been red. "Sick" has the sympathy
of many another fellow in like
condition.
Miss Martha Dorm has returned
home after ten days sojourn with
her sister in the goodly town of
Johnston.

Thomas Gray Held on Charge
of Murder.

A policeman came from Aiken
Monday afternoon, placed Thomas
Gray under arrest and took him to
the Aiken Jail. Gray is charged
with the murder of Mrs. Carl Sharp
ton of Vaucluse. The accused
went to Augusta Thursday and re-
turned to Vaucluse, accompanied by
Mr.. Carl Sharpton. While he was
at Sharpton's home Mrs. Sharpton
came from the cotton mill complain
ing of being i'll.
Gray is said to have given Mrs.
Sharpton a dose of medicine from
bottle he produced from his, pock-
ct. This is said to have been fol-
lowed by another and then a third
dose. The woman died sometime
afterwards.
The coroner Of Aiken county held
an inquest and the jury held Gray
responsible for the death. The
stomach of the dead woman was
sent to Charleston for examination.
1t is not believed here that Mr..
Gray intended to take the life of
Mrs. Sharpton but that, if he gave
her the medicine, an overdose was
probably unintentionally admins
tered.

CIod Hopper Comments Oh
Resolutions From Plum
Branch.
To the Edgefeld Advertiser:

10 the EuSenelu ADVERTISER:
1 noticed in the Edgefeld Chron-
icle of last week a resolution that
was passed by school meeting at
Plum Branch, condemning the ac-
tion oe the county convention for
endorsing Senator Tillman, for the
United States Senate. l guess the
delegates that attended the conven-
tion are not at all surprised at the
west side especially the county of
Plum Branch, as they well know
how she has always stood. If it
had been at a fish fry instead of a
school meeting the resolutions would
have been passed just the same.
There are few of us that don't
believe that such actions will cut
much ice with what has been done
by the convention. 1t reminds me
of the fellow that stays away from
church and then grumbles about
what was done in conference.
Respectfully,
Clod Hopper.
