Mr. r B Lyons Dead.

Died, at the home of his brother
in-law, Mr. Theodore j Simmons, in
Charleston, Saturday evening, Janu-
ary 8, 1914, Mr. R B Lyons. aged
about 81 years.
Among those who attended the
funer:.l, which took place in Charles
ton Monday, were: Messrs Fred
Lesesne and Frank P Burgess of
this place.
The deceased was for a number
of years the proprietor of the Gen.
trail Hotel, and was we'll known and
highly regarded by the travelling
public. He was ever. thoughtful Of
the welfare of his guests. and the
soul of honor; up to a few weeks
ago, and until his health became i'm
paired, he. although not of robust
health, had the active management
of his hostelry. and with the help of
his excellent wife, they provided well
for their guests. Mr. Lyons, realiz-
ing his enfeebled condition, decided
to retire from the hotel business,
and he purchased a home in this
town, where he and his wife would
live privately. The purchased prop
erty was occupied by tenant, and
while waiting for it to be vacated,
they visited relatives in Kingstree
and Charleston; while in the latter
city. Mr. Lyons became ILL.,. from
which he passed away. The deceas-
ed was Confederate soldier, a high
toned and dutiful citizen. He had
many sincere friends in this town,
and, although he lived to ripe old
age, his removal from this midst is
deplored. Manning Times.
Mr. Lyons was brother-in-law of
Mrs M F Heller of Kingstree and
for several years conducted a hotel
here. His friends here regret to
hear of his demise.

Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned Saturday at the Charles
ton Hotel of Charleston by the
disappearance of package said to
contain 81, 100 in real money. A
former employee of the hotel is said
TO have paid up 81, AIS, the key to
the safety box having been in his
care. The affair smacks of mys-
terry, possibly growing out of race
track conditions that obtain at
present in the metropolis of our
State.

burg took place at the bank build
ing Saturday, January 10, at 3
O'Clock p.m.,a majority of the share
holders being represented.
The report of the cashier at the
close of business Wednesday, Janua-
ry 7, 1914, showed: Capital stock,
S92 400; undivided profits, $3,063.-
IL; deposits. s235, ,O31. %; loans and
discounts, ,S207, ,085.67; cash on hand
and in banks, S110,358.19.
Ir addition to the above showing
stock dividend of fifty per cent
was paid to each shareholder.
The past years business was in
every respect satisfactory and the
bank enters upon a larger career of
usefulness with every confidence of
greater success and prosperity than
it has ever before enjoyed.
1t was moved and ordered that
the amount remaining after paying
so per cent dividend-something
over $3,000-be passed to surplus
or undivided profits.
In view of the fact that the capi.
tai of the bank has been increased
two directors were added to the
board, Messrs w V Strong and j M
Cook, making the entire list of di-
rectors as follows: Messrs C w Stoll,
E C Epps, ] F McFaddin, w | Mex
sen, F Rhem, P G Gourdin, w "
Strong and ] M Cook.
The following resolutions were in
troduced and unanimously carried:
Whereas, at a meeting of the
stockholders of the Bank Of Will
liamsburg, held on the 21st day of
November, 1913, the capital stock
was authorized To be increased to
100000, which in due form has
been accomplished, and that that the
question of converting the bank into
that of National bank was deferred
for consideration by the stockhold-
ers until their annual meeting; and,
Whereas, in the meantime the Cur
rency bill, known as the Federal Re-
serve act, has become a law and by
its provisions State banks with suf-
fcient capital are permitted to be-
come members of the Federal Re-
serve organization with practically
the same privileges as National

Therefore, be it resolved, that the
directors of this bank are hereby

steps as may be necessary to permit
this bank to become member of
the Federal Reserve bank. as soon as
the one for this district shall have
been organized and its district des-
ignated.
Resolved, further, that should the
directors by majority vote decide
that the interest of this bank could
be further advanced by nationaliz-
ing, they are are hereby authorized
and empowered to take such steps
as may be necessary to convert the
bank into National bank at any
time during the year 1914.
Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the stockholders meeting
the directors met and reelected the
same officers and attaches,as follows:
C w Stoll, president; F Rhem, vice

We had a tanning match and
the talk turned 90 freak games.
Mordecai Brown was telling of
the recent game at st. Louis.
THAT beat them ALL" laughed
Brownie. II was working against
Tom Seaton and both of us we're
going pretty well. We went into
the twelfth inning. had been
feeling tired, but the air was
cooler and / started feeling all
right. Suddenly they started
slamming the ball. Nothing |
could do would stop them. They
hit anything and everything and
piled up seven runs. The last two
men struck out on purpose to
finish the game before darkness.
I'VE came to bat to end 10 up
in a hurry and started hitting.
We couldn't hit the ball where II
wouldn't go safe. We made eight
runs off Seaton and had two men
on bases with only one out when
We scored the winning run. No
one could explain IT."
One of the freakiest of games
was one Ddlycu III DuhtOu W4cH
Stivetts was a great pitcher. He
had held the opposing team to
one fluke hit for eight innings
and struck out the first two men
in the ninth. The score was 7 to
o in favor Of Boston and sudden
ly the other team started hitting
Stivetts. and eleven successive
hits went either over or against
the fences-and Boston was beat
en- 3 to Z.
Orvfe Overall had something
OF that sort happen to him. It
was possible to explain that. Chi

all was merely breezing along,
and lobbing the ball up for the

He terked a ball underhand,

the young outfielder, promises to
become one of the greatest of

One of the most peculiar gsme1
ever played was between the Sa
Louis Cardinals and the Chicago
Cubs several years ago, when
the Cubs were at their best. They
made five runs in the first in
ming which seemed to settle the
question. King Cole started the
game. He passed three, hit one,
then passed another and Chance,
furious, rushed at him, raving
and calling him names and chas-
ed him off the field. Lurid Lou
Richie replaced him, passed
three batters. hit one, hit another
and passed another before Chance
who by that time was frothing,
chased him to the club house and
sent Reulbach in. st. Louis tied
the score and had two on bases
before a man hit the ball, and
Reulbach went in. cleaned up
with a wild pitch, issued a couple
OF passes, and finally the Cards
were stopped after they had
