entirely to the reading of classical

ly we'll and remarkable talent in this
art was displayed. Those deserving
special mention are Miss Gertrude

character, and the grace and posture
with which she presented this role.

in a scene taken from Ingomar, the
Barbarian, translated from the Ger

daughter of the lamented DR.. John
Lake. She was an active member
of the Baptist church and was al
ways regular attendant upon Sun
day school and the services of her
chul.h. She was also one of the

Cigarettes for Minors.

There are a great many people
who, upon reading about the recent
fning of man and his wife in Spar
tanburg county for selling cigarettes
to minors, seem to have gotten the
kidea that these fines were imposed
under local law applicable to Spar
tahburg county alone; but in this
they are mistaken. The law applies
to the whole state, and is found in
section 42O of the criminal code of
1912, as follows:
'sIt shall not be lawful for any
persons or persons, either by himself
or themselves, to sell, furnish, give,
or provide any minor or minors un-
der the age of 1S years, with cigar
cites, tobacco, cigarette papers, or
any substitute therefor. Any person
Of. persons violating the provisions
Of, the preceding section, either in
person, or by agent or in any other
way, shall be held and deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and, upon indict-
ment and conviction therefor, shall
be punished by fine not exceeding
one hundred dollars, or by imprison-
ment for term of not more than
one year nor less than two months,
or both, in the discretion of the
court; one-half of the fine imposed
to be paid to the informer of the Of
fense, and the other half to be paid
to the treasurer of the county in
which conviction shall be held"
There did business in Yorkville a
few years ago merchant whose
aversion to cigarettes was so great
that he did not care much to sell
them to anybody. He had a part
ner, however, who did not share his
feelings on the subject and he had
to sell cigarettes to keep peace. But
when he learned of the law prohl-
biting the sale of cigarettes to min
ors, he had his inning. He pasted
the law on a card and put it on his
showcase in position where it could
readily be seen, and whenever a
sallow-facd, attenuated little cigar
cite fiend came into his store for
either the manufactured article or
the makings, he took special pleasure
in reading the law and telling the
youngster to go along.
During his membership in the
General Assembly Mr.. S. H. Epps,
of this county made especial efforts
to get through a law prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes and cigarette pa
pers in South Carolina; but each
time he made the effort a lobby OF
cigarette manufacturers appeared in
sufficient force to defeat his propos-
ed measure.-Yorkville Enquirer.

Death of Miss Ella Scurry.

Early this morning our commu-
nifty was saddened by the announce
ment of the death of Miss Ella
Scurry which occurred at her home
at two o'clock this morning. Her
health has been steadily declining
for year or more, much of the
time being confined to her home.
However, her friends and loved
ones were not prepared for the
separation, as her condition was
not alarming until neal the end.
While Miss Scurry mingled but lit
tie with the people of the communi-
ty, yet she always greeted most cor
daily the friends who called at her
home. Her genial disposition and
kindly manner won for her many
friends.
She was born and reared in Sulu'
da county whsre she has large
family connection. She was mem
ber of Good Hope church in Suln-
da county near where she was rear
ed.
The funeral will be conducted
from the Baptist church this after
noon and her body will be laid to
rest beside the grave of her broth
er, MIR. Ralph ScurrY, who died
about eight years ago.
Miss Sculry leaves two brothers,
Mr.. P. B. Scurry of Saluda and
Mr.. j. R. Scurry of Edge6eid.

!. THE B2AVEsT BATTLE.

THE B2AVEST BATTLE.
The brayest battle that ever was
fought
Shall / tell you where and when?
On the maps Of the world you will
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
No, not with cannons or battle shot
With sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word OF
From the lips of wonderful men
But deep in a welled-up woman:
E heart,
A woman who would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo! there is that battle field!
No marshalling troop, no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But oh! these battles, they last SC
long
. From babyhood to the grave.
Yet fateful still as the mighty stars
She fights in her walled-up town,
Fights on and on, in the endless wars
Then silent, unseen, goes down.
oh, We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
1 tell you the kingliest victories
fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
Oh, spotless woman in world OF
shame!
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you
came,
The kingliest warrior born.
