Stout people are becoming more

Philadelphia, June 8.-"When
you wed Edra, cut your wedding
cake with the sword of the father OF
your country. 1t will bring you luck
and a fortune. Treasure this blade
with which Washington helped to win

The sword descended to the brides
father from his ancestor, John HeWs-

He became an ardent admirer and
friend of George Washington.

HEAT HAS BAD EFFECT.
Makes Two Men at Greenwich Cut
Up No Little.

f'Crazy with the heat" is given as

ing UP handfuls of water in his nose
and mouth and by holding his head

Little Oliver Vance Kearse.

At six o'clock in the morning of
of last Tuesday, June 4th, an angel
song fell from the gates of Heaven
and awakened the little spirit Of
baby Vance Kearse, and his SOUL was
bourn fro mthis world of trouble to
the great Master, who said, Suffer
little children to come unto me.
Little Vance was but nine months old
when the soft summons of death
were whispered into his ears. He
was the only child Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bernard Vance Kearse, and his inno-
cent smile was the pride of his pa
rents hearts. He was a beautiful
child, in fact, too fair for this earth.
He came to smile, and in smiling
went into the dreamless sleep. His
long curls and his deeply expression
ed blue eyes gave him the resemb-
lance of an angel whom the Lord
hath lent to the world for short
while. He was a lovable baby, at
tractive, affectionate, kind, and al
ways ready to smile with anyone. He
was also very precocious, quick to
learn, smart, and innocently mis-
chevous. He never seemed to be
vexed with the trials that come in
babyhood, he simply knew to smile
and he smiled.
We feel exceedingly sorry for the
bereaved parents. This is the first
great disappointment that has come
to them. The little child is called
from their midst. He will sleep out
beneath the open sky, and await
them on that glorious shore where
parting is no more. They cannot un-
derstand it now, but the great Master
has a reason for all that is done in
life. May they someday know this
reason, and may He soothe their
grief, while their baby is awaiting
them on Heavens eternal shore.
Out in the cemetery cold
The little babe is asleep;
An angel guards his lonely tomb,
While saddened parents weep.
But in the choir celestial ...
Behold on Jesus breast
The little babe an angel now
Is folded in sweet rest.

SHOT TO DEATH.
Young Planter is Killed While Driv.
ing Home.

McBee, June 10.-Hampton o.
iver, while returning to his home af-
ter trip to McBee, was fired upon
and killed late Saturday night. Mr..
Oliver had been to town for load
of fertilizer and started to return
to his home late in the evening.
When some distance from home he
was forced to pass through a thick
patch of woods. Here he was fired
upon and killed.
Tracks and other evidences show
where the murderer or murderers
stood, but there is no clue as to the
identity of the assassins. A coroner's
jury was empaneled but has not been
able to fix the responsibility for the
deed. The coroner's hearing has been
postponed pending investigation and
the jury will soon be called together
for a further consideration of the
case.
No arrests have been made.
Mr.. Oliver was a young married
man and has one child. His body was
taken to Ruby for burial to-day at

MISS QUIMBY's DARING FEAT.
The Crossing of the English Channel
by an American Aviatress.

Besides being the first American
woman to procure a pilots license,
Miss Harriet Quimby recently gained
fame by being the first aviatress to
fly across the English channel. A
number of women flyers have planned
to make this trip at one time or an
other, but none had actually accom-
plished it, or even, for that matter,
made a start. Miss Quimby decided
to make this flight some months ago,
and took a special trip abroad for the
purpose. In a fifty horsepower
Gnome-engined Bleriot she started at
4 a. m. from Dover. Describing a
large circle, she passed over Dover
castle, and in five minutes she was
lost to view far out over the channel.
Steering by a tug which was awaiting
her in mid-channel, she rose to 5000
feet. She continued climbing for
several minutes more until she was
at twice this height. Soon after pass
ing the tug she plunged into dense
fog and was obliged to steer by COM
pass. Despite some motor trouble,
she landed at Hardelot, near Calais.
She was greeted by the fishermen and
life-savers and carried in triumph to
the aife-saving station by some
friends. She was treated with great
consideration and, as a reward for
her fight, was presented with large
old China tea cup from which she
had been slipping a warming drink;
for although she wore three coats
and furs, travelling so miles an hour
through dense fog she found very
chilling.
The flight across the channel was
made in a straight line, the % miles
being covered in 20 minutes. The
total time from the start until a
landing was made at Hardelot was
about 40 minutes Scientific Ameri-
can.

Orangeburg County Shooting Affair

A shooting affray took place in the
lower part of the Fork Saturday
afternoon in which Jake Ant!ey and
Sam Hungerpiller were involved.
Hungerpiller was wounded as the re-
suit of a shot from a shotgun fired
by Antley. His condition is said not
to be serious.
It is understood that the shooting
took place over the closing of a ditch
which crossed a road. 1t seems that
a certain ditch which drained the
property of Antley was closed by
Hungerpiller The heavy rains dur
ing the past several days caused the
water to back up on an oats Held
Of Antley's, and Saturday he took it
upon himself to open the ditch to
allow the water on his oats to drain
off. Mr.. Hungerpiller was away from
home during the day. Upon his re-
turn, he was informed of the open
ing of the ditch, and he Immediately
went down and proceeded to close
the ditch, so it is stated. Antley, it
is alleged, saw what Hungerpiller
was about, and he went to the place
with his gun. After some words,
Antley fired at Hungerpiller and in
ficted a wound, which it is said is
not dangerous.
Antley Immediately left the place
and has not yet been located.
Sheriff Salley went to the scene OF
the shooting, but was unable to get
any clue to the whereabouts of Ant
