MIR. Fred Schumpert's Recovery

Mr.. ]. Fred Schumpert, accompan-
led by his daughter, Mrs. F. W. Web
ster, of Miami, Fla, returned on last
Monday afternoon from the Colum-
bia hospital, exactly three weeks since
he was operated on for gall stones.
The gall bag was removed in fear
fully diseased condition and the op-
Grating surgeon says it contained the
largest stones he had ever seen. So
serious was the operation, before
which the patient had suffered agony,
that his home folks thought he sure
" would have to be helped from the
train and made comfortable. Accord
ingly they had pillows in their auto
mobile and everything ready for his
convenience; but he got off the train
unassisted, walked to his car, got in
and took his seat, all without any
help. When he arrived at Mrs. A. T.
Browns residence, where he and Mrs.
schumpert and their daughter, Miss
Fredna, have apartments, he got out,
walked up stairs and sat down. He
was down in the city the next day.
His daughter, Mrs. Webster, who was
with him during the entire time at
the hospital, returned on Thursday
to her home in Miami.

TWO GOOD CITIZENS
PASS OVER SUDDENLY
Captain Jno. L. Hunter Confederate
Veteran Dies Suddenly While
Reading Newspaper.

Prosperity, Oct. 16.-Anothef good
man has passed over the river. While
sitting under the shade of aetree in
his yard reading the newspaper, Cap
tain John L. Hunter was stricken and
died before assistance could be rem
dered. Captain Hunter volunteered
and served during the entire war be-
tween the States, being member Of
Co. H, Holcomb Legion. He was a
leader in the dark days of recon-
struction and until his death was a
leader in his community, being a
modest Christian gentleman.
Captain Hunter was born October
27, 1910, being at his death 79 years
old. His wife who was Miss Mary
Dominick, preceded him to the grave
rs years. Four children survive him:
DR.. C. Y. Hunter, Mrs. Ellie M. Fell
l! ers of Prosperity, Mrs. L. A. Sease
of Clemson college, and Mrs. Frank
R. Hunter of Newberry.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon at the Pros
perity cemetery, conducted by his
pastor, the Rev. j. B. Harmon of Mt.
Olivet, assisted by Rev. c. J. Sheaiy
of Grace church, and Rev. ]. D. Grit
fin of the Methodist church.
The pallbearers were the following
relatives: L. A. Sease and F. r.
Hunter, sons-in-law; Ryan FeHers,
Cecil Fellers, Pressly Fellers and
Maxcy Bedenbaugh, nephews.
The beautiful floral offerings
! were placed on the grave by the low
ing hands of his four grand-daught-
ers, Misses Mary DeWalt, Ruth, and
| Myra Hunter and Miss Helen Sease.
Quite striking coincidence is
that one year ago today his brother
R. C. T. Hunter was buried at the
same cemetery, at the same hour.
/ Mr.. j. W. c. Long died suddenly
at his home in the Mt. Pilgrim sec
ton on Wednesday morning. He
arose in the morning feeling badly;
about ten o'clock when returning
from the mail box he dropped dead.
Mr.. Long was born July 81, 1852,
being e7 years of age. He was an
active member of Mt. Pilgrim Lu-
theran church.
He is survived by his wife, three
daughters, Misses Leila, Iva and
Agnes Long and three sons, Messrs
Chester, Rufus, and Charlie Long.
The funeral was held on Thursday
morning at Mt. Pilgrim by his pastor,
the Rev. J. B. Harman, in the pres
ence of large number Of relatives
and friends.

Opened October 6 With Miss Edith
McGill as Principal and Miss
Floride Turner, Assistant.

Long Lane, Oct. 16.-The Long
Lane school opened October 6 with
a fine attendance. Several names
have been added to the roll since.
The teachers are Miss Edith McGill
of Hickory Grove, as principal, and

as assistant.
A large number of the patrons
were present to give the new teach
ers a hearty welcome and to assure
them of their interest and coopera-
ton in the school and community in
every way possible.
The patrons have remodelled the
school building and now have con-
venient and modern two-room build
ing. Realizing that the men need
aid in furnishing the new room, the
Improvement association held a
meeting and decided to pick cotton
the following Friday afternoon. AT
3 O'Clock the ladies, teachers, and
school children met at Mr.. Ben Cald-
Wells and picked CAT pounds, real
izing $3.50. On the following Tues
day afternoon the cotton picking
team was called to meet at Mr.. 5.
A. Rikard's. With the help Of Messrs'
Caldwell, Folk and Rikard, carrying
baskets, weighing, etc., 999 pounds
were picked, realizing $40. Before
disbanding, the ladies surprised the
weary team with tempting refresh
ments, which were greatly enjoyed
after the three hours exercise.
The patrons are very enthusiastic
because of the fact that Long Lane
has been converted into two teach
er school. This marks a. new page
in the history Of the school. Now
watch Long Lane:

Newberry will be interested in the
outcome of damage suit in the
common pleas court here this week
against Mr.. r. M. Caldwell, former
ly of Newberry, who is now in the
mercantile business here, in which a
verdict in favor of Mr.. Caldwell was
returned by the jury.
The suit was brought by Mrs. w.
w. Seagle, of Columbia, for malici-
Gus prosecution,
According to the evidence develop
ed at the trial, Mr.. Caldwell sold be-
tween s4OO and $500 worth of goods
in January of this year to Miss Kath-
crime Strait. Miss Strait is the young
adopted daughter of DR.. T. j..
Strait, of Lancaster, formely super
intendent of the State hospital for
the insane. She was here in the city
schools, and was preparing to be mar:
ried. Mr.. Caldwell said she came to
him and told him that her step
father, DR.. Strait, had authorized her
to buy a bill of goods, and that he
would pay for it, and that DIR. Strait
had also requested Mrs. Seagle to
help her make the selections. Act
ing on this representation, he said,
he let Miss Strait have goods amount
ing to s95, and next day he received
a note from Mrs. Seagle suggesting
certain articles for trouseau, which
he took to bear out Miss Straits rep
reservations. There was also second
note from Mrs. Seagle.
When the bill for the goods was
sent to DR.. Strait he declined to pay
it. He came here and testified that
he was paying his adopted daughters
expenses, and had given her money
to prepare for her marriage, but that
he could not pay these extraordinary
bills, which he said his adopted
daughter had no authority to charge
to him, and that he had so notified
her and certain merchants in Colum-
bia, including the former firm OF
Caldwell and Haltiwanger.
Mrs. Seagle, with whose mother
Miss Strait was making her home, in
troduced in evidence her notes to
Mr.. Caldwell, contending that she
had made no representation as to
the payment of the bill, but was
simply advising the young lady as to
appropriate articles for wedding
trousseau.
ypon Icing unable to secure his
money for the large bill, Mr.. Cald-
we'll, who in the meantime had taken
i'll with flu, had warrant sworn OUT
through an attorney, charging Miss
Strait and Mrs. Seagle with obtain
ing goods under false pretense. un-
der this warrant Mrs. Seagle gave
bond, but was never actually in1-
prisoned. The warrant was sworn
out before one of the magistrates OF
the city, and the case later transfer
red to the city recorder for the hold
ing of preliminary. Recorder KIM
ball held the matter in abeyance, url-
der consideration, for some three
weeks, and dismissed the case. There
upon the suit-by Mrs. Seagle against
Mr.. Caldwell, which resulted in his
favor. was instituted. Miss Strait
1pas not nresent at the trial.
