Met Tragic Death.

AS a result of a series of trans
erosion, a young white man, Will
Hornsby, of Clark's Hill, who was
regarded as a desperate character,
met a tragic death late Saturday
night. ITO begin with, about 10
days ago Hornsby who was about
30 years Of age, struck his mother
a terrible blow with a piece of stove
wood while in an angry mood. Sat
urday be was imposing upon a
younger brother and the father in.
terfered with the result that this in
corrigible son struck him in the
head with a rock. ~fracturing the
skull. The injured man was carried
to the hospital in Augusta and did
not regain consciousness until Tues.
day.
As a result Of the injury inflicted
upon his father, the boy or Young
man was arrested under a warrant
issued by Magistrate Bodie and
served by Mr.. Fred Minis as con-
stable. While Mr.. Minis and Horns,
10y were sitting in the waiting room
of the depot at Clark's Hill Satur-
day night the latter made a dash
for liberty. Being unable to over
take the fleeing man, Mrs Minis
fired in the direction in which he
went, not knowing at the time that
he hit HornSby. The ball entered the
back Of the head and caused instant
death. The family of Hornsby re-
fused to receive his body or to fur.
nish clothes for his burial.
Mr.. Minis has the sympathy of
the people. In fact, jur~in. from
reports that ha"e reacht us, the
Clark's Hill community feels re,
lieved that so desperate a character,
one who was a constant menace to
the community, has been removed.
Mr.. Minis came to Edgetield early
this morning and will at nee apply
for bail.

Misses Annie and JUSTIN Can

After a whole week of rain, Tues
day evening was a beautiful moon
light night, cool and pleasant. The
Misses Cantelou could not have Sc
lected a lovelier night for enter
tanning in honor of their visitors
Misses Carroll, Misses Fitzmaurice

greeted by Mrs. Cantelou and her
daughters and conducted into the
parlor, there to meet the visitors in
the receiving line.
From there the guests repaired to
the spacious lawn where numbers
of chairs were grouped about and
some found seats in the handsome
cars which had brought tie guests.
In a short while every n went
in again to get the cards for pro-
gressive conversation. As soon as
the dates had been made, a bell tap
ped and the two partners for the

chairs on the lawn.

The corner of the piazza being trans

An Announcement Party.

The most intensely fascinating
thing in the world is a group of
pretty young girls. They are the
gayest, the most care-free, the, most
lovable crowd composed of young
people that can be gotten together.
On Thursday evening just such a
group gathered together at the home
of Miss Julia Folk to enjoy an an
nouncement party given in honor OF
Miss Lizzie Hollingsworth, an,
nouncing, in a unique way during
the evening, her approaching mar
riage to Mr.. William Anderson of
Florida. The guests were met at
the door by Mrs. Percy Feltham
and Mrs. Lovic Minis. Punch was
served on the porch by Miss Ida
Folk and Miss Florence Minis.
The color scheme was pink and
green and the lights on the porch
were covered in pink paper and
pink roses.
The parlor was decorated in pink
crepe myrtle, carrying out the color
harmony. Under an arch of crepe
myrtle, which terminated at each
end in small baskets, stood Miss
Lizzie Hollingsworth the guest of
honor, Miss Julia Folk. the hostess
and Mrs. w. D. Allen the brides
sister. These girls were dressed in
pink and green. The chandeliers
were covered in pink roses. Miss
Bessie Parker played beautifully on
the piano, entertaining the crowd,
and Mrs. Shannonhouse sang with
her usual sweetness. A few of the
guests at the time were invited back
into the dining room by Miss Annie
Bee and Miss Sophie Dobson. This
was beautifully decorated in crepe
myrtle. Over the table was sus,
pended a lovely cupid, yelled in
pink, and holding a bow and arrow.
Delightful and cooling pink and
green block cream and pink and
white cake were served.
AS the guests left the dining
room they were presented with
souvenirs by Miss Ruth Lyon.
These consisted of hand painted
cards bearing the names, Lizzie
Folk Hollingsworth and William
Anderson, and the date of the mar
riage, August g., and a tiny pink
heart and golden arrow. The after
noon was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present. +. NJ

Take Out Hunters License.

The law making il necessary for
those who hunt Except those hunt
ing on their own premises to take
out a license became effective on
July l, and Game Warden j. W.
Johnson, of Clark's Hill, urges a
compliance with the law. OF course,
every good citizen is also interested
in the enforcement of the law.
Licenses are issued by the clerk of
court and by any of the magistrates
in the county. The fee for a county
license is sl.l0 and for a State
license $40, in each case the 10
cents is retained by the officer issu-
ing the license. The fee itself is
turned over to the county treasurer.
This is a good law and if enforced
will put a stop to the vagrant and
loating class of hunters who can
only hunt by trespassing upon the
property Of other people. Let's as.
sist the game warden and other Off
GERS of the law in enforcing the
hunters license law.

acres when really there is over 40 to

but not in the same field. Most too
much rain for cotton, tits getting
too full of sap and not fruiting as

A Birthday Celebration.

LII Los bCCH NY HepPJ ~ w "o
tend many AT Homes of various
kinds, but never before until Thurs
day evening have I been the guest
at an occasion so rare, and with a
group of friends as %congenial and
lovely.
There is an art to-day tina: we
all should cultivate, the art of grow
ing I'D, gracefully.
There is an air Of subtle fra.
GRANGE and reverence in a group of
old ladies. In the midst of this
group was Mrs. Mary J. Norris,
who was celebrating the seventy
seventh summer of her life. The
others present were Mrs. Kate
Lynch, Miss Lena Holstein. Mrs.
Caddie DeLoach, Misses Ruth, Ethel
and Annie DeLoach, the latter three
being an exception to the thought
that all present were at least middle
aged, Mrs. E. Pendleton Jones,
Mrs. Emma Dobson, Mrs. w. A.
Strom, Mrs. Is. Timmons, and little
jeanette, Mrs. E. E. Adams, and
Florence Minis.
The saying goes that one is as
old as one feels. Though these la
dies had celebrated many birthdays,
they we're as young in spirit as any
young person of the town. and |
liked to look back in my magma
ton, and see each one of them the
gay young belle of her home town
or community, as she was growing
up; see them dance the Virginia
reel and wear those quaint befrilled
costumes peculiar to the dame of
the decades past.
Those days we're the best days of
any time except now, and such
danes as these helped, no doubt, to
make them SO.
The rain had refreshed the at
mosphere and the cool air was in
MIGRATING.
After chatting in the good old
fashioned way for a short while, we
were invited, by Mrs. Mamie Till
man, to nave tea in the pergola out
on the lawn. The couples came
two and two. Mrs. Norris leading
the lire, with one of the younger
members of the party as her escort.
The pergola was lighted beauti-
fully, and we approached a long ia
bic spread with dainties and sweet
meats. The blessing was asked by
Mrs. Jones.
In the centre Of the table OF a
glass stand were seventy-seven red
candles and led roses. Several bask,
cts of Shasta daisies were arranged
along the table. a second course
of cream and cake was served, Miss
Virginia Addison assisting in the
serving.
The vine-clad pergola, with its
lights and beautifully set table, was
a very picturesque scene. The
guests strolled back under the tall
lilacs and pink crepe myrtle and
INDUCED in various pleasures, some
in conversation, some 10 hear in the
library the victrola as it played the
the familiar old songs of the long
ago, and many in parting made
good wishes for the continued life
and happiness of this dear and hon
ored friend.
