MRS. MYRTLE WEBER
DIES AT JONESVILLE

Jonesville, June 29.-Mrs. Myrtle
Webber died at her home in Jones'
vile last Wednesday and the remains
were laid to rest in the family bury
ing ground in Jonesville the following
day. Mrs. Webber's maiden name
was Hedgpath. She was united in
marriage to Mr.. Hayes Webber seven
years ago and five children were born
to them. Three of whom still sur
vive, one only few months old. Mrs
Webber was a sweet spirited woman
and made a true and faithful, loving
wife. 1t is sad to see one young in
life and active and lovely in the home
and in society to be taken from her
husband and sweet little children;
but death is relentless foe and has
not pity for it's victims. She was one
upon whom it laid its icy hands and
she had to succumb. She had many
friends who are said and who sympa-
thize with the bereaved husband and
sweet little children.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the home by Revs. J. A. Cook
and w. S. Porter, after which the re-
mains were borne to their last resting
place by loving hands and laid to rest
in the silent tomb under bank of
beautiful flowers, placed there by low
ing hands.
Mrs. Webber was member of the
Methodist church at Pacolet, her for
mer home. Telephone.

one real danger, and a great one it
is, to South Carolina's civilization lies
In possible division among the white

themselves, we need never fear. The

GEORGIA MAY. CHANGE
IT'S DIVORCE LAWS

Atlanta, Ga, June 3O.-If the leg
islature passes the new divorce bill
now before the senate it will be al
most impossible for dissatisfied cou-s
pies to secure freedom. 1t provides
that no cases must be undefended and
call for a number of witnesses in
most cases. Evidence of witnesses
other than the persons involved must
be had where adultery is charged.
Mental capacity must be proved by
at least two witnesses and cruel treat
ment shall consist of actual violence
uncondoned by either party. Habit
ual intoxication must be proved by at
least three witnesses. Under this law
the old practice of letting verdicts be
won by failure to defend the suit will
be thing of the past and judges are
directed to appoint lawyers for the
defendant and insist on his appear
ance.
Another bill before the senate to-
day is that substituting the electric
chair for the gallows and directing
that all executions take place at the
state farm.

ter a fifteen minute session yester-

its officers. He was living in Jones'
vile in the year 1878 when the Meth
odist church was built and he took
great interest in building the church

sition, liberal and friendly to all that
made for peace and order and the up
building of the town and community.
His last days were spent quietly at
his home which he loved much.
Many beautiful floral tributes were
banked upon the grave and the large
