his large circle of friends and which
also bore wishes and prayers for a
speedy restoration.

lumb ia, died in Louisville Thursday
night and the remains will be brought

this morning when Mrs. j. w. Hime-
baugh, formerly Miss Lena Eddy, ar
rived from Atlanta, to meet the re-
mains of her brother. Mrs. Hime.
baugh stated that she had received a
telegram stating that her brother was
dead and that the remains would be
shipped to Columbia for interment.
Her husband, who was in Virginia at
the time, wired her to come on to
Columbia and he would meet her
here.
No definite arrangements have been
made about the funeral as it is not
known just when the remains will
reach the city. but it is supposed that
the funeral will take place Sunday
and the interment in Rose Hill GENE
terry. Inquiring friends may find out
the definite arrangements later by
inquiring at Cakes e Nichols, who
will have charge of the funeral. C. B.
Eddy is known to many Columbians.
For a number of years he was the
captain of the C. B. Eddy's, one of
the fastest amateur ball teams in the
South at the time of its existence.
He was also a member of the famous
Witt Rifles, which during its day car
ried off all the honors in competitive
drills. Only few weeks ago, w. P.
Boyd. one of the members of the old
Witt Rifles received a photograph OF
the company sent to him by Mr.. Eddy
at which time he stated that he was
alone and was cleaning up and send
ing out all the things he possessed to
his friends who he thought would APP
preciate them.
Charley Eddy was one of the most
popular boys in Columbia during his
stay here, where he was born and
grew to manhood. He has for a num-
Der of years been in Philadelphia

w. {. 7. u. Worker Tells What @a
.s Organization Does In War

Mrs. Grace w. Robins of McKinzie
gave most interesting and instruc-
tive address at the Methodist church
Sunday night.
Her subject included the many &C
tivities of the w. C. T. U. work. She
showed how the Womans Christian
Temperance Union was one of the
most patriotic organization known,
having had Soldiers and Sailors de-
partment long before war was de-
clared. ''In Tennessee we heard no
more of this departments work be-
cause we had no soldiers and sailors
them" said Mrs. Robins. After war
was declared the National President
of the w. c. T. U. called on the State
President to have the unions furnish
comfort bags for our battle-ship Ten
nessee. Every union in the state re-
sponded readily and soon our ship
was equipped.
Many tailored bandages have been
made by the thousands and sent to
relieve the wounded.
Then a call was made for funds to
place w. C. T. U. ambulance in
France. Money poured in so fast
that two ambulances are now in
France floating the white flag of pur-
ity above the gold letters w. C. T. U.
Very near hangs Red Cross flag and
above all these "Old Glory" waves in
