j. HOUK FENDER DEAD.
A Leading Citizen of Lower Section
Died Last Week at Home.

J. Houk Fender, one of the best
citizens in this section of the state,
died at his home On the Bamberg-
Colleton county border on Monday of
last week, following long illness.
aged about 62 years. The remains
were inferred the following day at
Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church, the
Rev. P. D. Risinger conducting the
funeral services.
Mr.. Fender was severely injured
two or three years ago by the acci-
dental discharge Of shot gun, and
from this injury he had never fully
recovered. While standing leaning on
his gun, his hands folded over the
in some way the gun was
discharged. The shot came near
tearing off both hands, and for long
time he hovered between life and
death, and had not recovered his
health since, though this did not
directly cause his death.
Mr.. Fender is survived by his wild
ow, who was the daughter of the late
James Fender, and three sons and
one daughter: John Wesley Fen
der, William Fender, James A. Fen
der and Miss Lola Fender.
He resided just over the line in
Colleton county, his farm lying in
both counties, but his residence was
in Colleton. He was a substantial
farmer and a solid citizen. He was
a member of the Mt. Pleasant Luther
an church and a man who had hun
dreds of friends.
The county had two J. H. Tenders,
and both are now dead, ]. Hansford
Fender having died some months ago.
Both were fine men, and their death
is a distinct loss to the citizenship
of the county.

are three societies on the campus, the
Sheridan having been organized last
fall Two debaters were selected
from each society and each society
was represented by one man on the
affirmative and one on the negative.
The query for the evening was, RE
solved, That the policy of the fed
eral. government in deporting the
radicals is the only one that will pro-
duce definite and lasting results. y
The affirmative was upheld by Harry
Snyder, of the Sheridan society; Fred
Plott, of the Kilgo society, and
Thomas Mimms, of the Beach society.
The negative side of the question was
argued by Kemeys Goethe, of the
Beach society; Carlisle Patrick, of the
Kilgo society, and Eugene Shealy, of
the Sheridan society. Goethe gave
the rebuttal for the negative while
Mimms made the come back for the
affirmative.
Lawrence PEBBLES, president of the
Kilgo society, was the presiding Off

dan society, acted as time. keeper.
While the Carlisle band played a
march the marshals ushered the
speakers to the rostrum.
Prayer was offered by Rev. w. J.
Snyder PEBBLES then made few
appropriate opening remarks and the
battle of words began. Each speaker
gave forceful and telling arguments
for his side. Snyder for the afirma-
tive and Shealy for the negative made
especially fine apeals for their respec-
tive sides. Goethe's rebuttal for the
negative produced much laughter.
Rev. S. o. Cantey, Prof. Allen and
J. Carl Kearse were the judges.
Theipdecision was rendered by secret
ballot, he chief mashal collecting the
ballot at the close Of the debate. The
first ballot opened was for the mega

The audience burst into uproarous ap-
plause when the third ballot was de-
. clared by the presiding officer to be
! in favor of the negative.
The school marshals who served
throughout the commencement exer-
cises were: Chief, Jack Meadors, OF
the Beach society; Willie Cone and
Jordan Johnston, Of the Beach So
ciety, Samuel Cross and Ernest
Horne, of the Sheridan society

Major Henry c: Tllnan
Deliuers Annual Address

Monday evening in the Carlisle au-
ditorium the final commencement ex-
ercises were held. The large hall was
packed long before the exercises be-
gan. At $50 o'clock the marshals
ushered in the graduating class with
the others who took part in the pro-
tgramme. The audience stood while
Rev. Peter Stokes offered prayer.
Colonel Guilds in a few we'll chosen
words then introduced Major Henry
c. Tillman, of Greenwood, who de-
livered the commencement address.
Major Tillman is himself a young
man and his address to the graduates
was inspiring. In every sentence ne
showed how fully he could appreciate
the feelings of the three young men
who were just commencing the bat
tie of life. He asked to be considered
the builder who should try to out
line a few of the plans of life for the
structures that were now taxing
shane. The fundamental of any edi-
flee is the foundation and there are
four corner or foundation stones that
must be at the base Of any successful
life. The first of these stones is
honor. This was the stone that lay
at the heart of the French and Amerl-
can boys in their fight to overcome
the selfish ambitions Of the German
war lords. The cornerstone<of health
is next in Importance. The mind and
soul that God has given must not be
housed in an inferior temple. The
figures revealed recently of the ply
sical unftness of our young men is
appalling. Education in it's broad
est sense is the third basic stone OF
the successful life. We shudder to
think that one out of every ten men
who went to France could neither
read nor write.
The cornerstone of service is the
fourth necessary stone. Service, not
of self but of others. Millions OF
men and women in obscure paths OF
life have and are living lives upon
which no trace of self is to be found.
The speaker cited instances OF hero
ism that were based on this stone OF
service.
Major Tillman received thunderous
applause when he had finished.
Colonel Guilds then presented di-
plomas to Harry Snyder, of Bates
burg, S. c., Edward Dudley Sanders,
of. Hagood, S. c., and Charles Moye,
of.Bamberg, S. G. These young men
received many beautiful gifts during
the intermission that followed the
presentation of diplomas. Harry
SNYDER received thoroughbred
chicken which caused much amuse-
ment for the audience.
\ Rev. S. o. Cantey presented the
scholarship medal to Jack Meadors OF
the Junior class. This medal is pre-
sented TO the student who makes the
highest average on all subjects for
the entire year. The winners aver

BAMBERG AND DENLARk TIE.
Exciting Exhibition Game Played in
Denmark Monday.

The Bamberg and Denmark teams
of the Tri-County league played an
exhibition game of ball at Denmark
last Wednesday afternoon, the game
not to count in the official standing
of the clubs. The game went ten
innings, the final score being a tie,
5 to 5. There was some excellent
fielding and the game was interesting
throughout. Warren, pitching for
Bamberg, was fortunate to receive
sensational support from his team
mates. Aside from pitching Bam-
berg outplayed the home team. The
only weakness of Cox for Denmark
was his wildness. With the excep-
ton of this he appears to have the
goods, and as a home boy is prob
ably the best all round pitcher in the
league. The feature of the game
was clean home run by Gibson for
Denmark in the fifth inning with the
bases full tying the score. Denmark
again tied the score in the seventh
inning with another long home run
by Bruner. Gibson also saved the
game for Denmark by a fine catch in
left field off the bat of Large, and
Baxter at second made beautiful
catch of line drive by "Gyp'' Rentz
robbing him of hit and doubling a
runner off first.
Charlie Rentz did his usual hitting
with a double and a single, while
James Sanders, of Carlisle, pinch hit
ting for George Price, covered him
self with glory by singing cleanly
and later getting another hit in two
more times up. He played man
nifcent game at first base. But the
most sensational fielding ever seen
in this part of the state was furnished
by "Gyp' Rentz, third baseman la
carte and pinch hitter extraordinary.
He got them going and coming on all
sides, and it does seem that other
ball players would learn something
in time and quit hitting them in the
neighborhood of the best third base,
man in the southern states. This lad
is 19 years old, and if he cares to,
bids fair to make every third base
man in the world sit up and take
notice before many more seasons. In
addition to playing most remark
ably wonderful fielding game, which
he has a regular habit of doing, he
stung the old apple for clean three
Dagger in the first inning with two
runners on. This writer has seen
every team in the big leagues play,
every team in the Southern, every
team in the South Atlantic, some in
the International, and many other
minor league teams play, and with
out any bias or partiality "Gyp's
playing at third is not surpassed by
any third baseman ever seen on
southern diamond.
1t is to be regretted that the Bam-
berg boys kicked unduly in the Dem
mark game. Even if an umpire's
decisions are wrong kicking never
does any good, never causes him to
change them, and always loses favor
and popularity for the team display
ing it. Two wrongs can't create
right, and good sportsmanship does
not permit of general kicking
throughout ball game regardless or
who the umpire is nor the accurate
ness of his decisions, which must be
made in accordance with his own dis
cretion and view of the play, and not
somebody else's.
