TERRIBLE TRAGEDY

prepare my will, giving all Of my
property to my brother Smiley, and
charging him, as know he will, to
take care OF my mother and my two
little adopted boys"
Mr.. Arrowsnith further declared
that he drew the Will as instructed
and it was witnessed by himself, G.
T. Bryce and Marshall W. Bridges
and that he Incorporated in the will
the statement of Mrs. Black to him
regarding the threats against her
life.
At the Bigham home this after
noon officers made a search for pap
ers relative to the estate lands and
for the will mentioned IN the Arrow
snith affidavit, but did not find them.
B;eham stated that he had wAi but
after looking over his papers re-
marked that he "could not find it
now" It was first believed that l.. S.
B;gham, while supposedly insane, had
shot and killed his mother, Mrs. NJ.
M. Bigharn, his sister, Mrs. Margie
Black and the latter;s two adopted
children, Leo and john McCracken.
AID had then gone into the woods a
half mile from the house aad shot
himself to death. There was some
doubt n the minds Of the coroner's
Jury that L. s. B;gham was the per
petrator Of the crime and it was de-
cidea to delay rendering a verdict
until additional evidence could be
taken, and the arrest Of his brother,
Edmund Bigham, has given the case
a most interesting aspect.
With reference to the estate lands
it appears that few days before hea
death, Mrs. J. Began Cain, sister.
is alleged to have signed deeds trans
ferr;ng certain Of the lands to Mrs
Margie Black. This is said 70 have

A Great Day at Sparta
= uo,aId

Religious Herald.
Sunday, October II, 1920, was a
great day at Sparta, Va, for on that
day Salem Baptist church celebrated
the centennial of the pastorates or
the three andrew Broadduses, father,
son and grandson.
The committee had arranged an IN
teresting program for this unique eel
ebration and the exercises Of the Gay
were of high order and greatly en-
joyed by the vast throng in attend
ance.
Dr.. r. H. Pitt, editor Of the Relig-
ious Herald, was to have been pres
ens to preside over the meeting, and
also to bring greetings" but was de-
tanned by sickness. In his absence
Rev. L., NJ. Ritter presided in the
morning and Rev. S. 3. Cver5on IN
the afternoon. The first speaker was
DR.. Garnett Ryland, Of Richmond
college. In introducing Dr.. Ryland
Mr.. Ritter stated that to the student
Of Virginia Baptist history there were
certain outstanding names, among
them Broaddus, Bagby, Duaavay, Ry-
land, Montague and that or this oc-
casion it was eninently BETTING that
a Ryland should speak. DR.. Ryland's
subject was s'The First Andrew and
Some Of lis Contemporaries" and his
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-01-25

address WIS indeed charming and
also instructive.
The next speaker was Dr. S. c.
Mitchell of Richmond college, who
stated that so far as he had been able
to ascertain, Salem church was the
only one in the United States that
had had only three pastors in ore
hundred years ard those three father,
son and grandson, al bearing the
same name. DR.. Mitchell then deliv-
cred one OF those fine addresses for
which he is 50 noted, his subject be-
ing "The Reciprocal Duties Of
Preacher and People"
At the afternoon session al inter-
esting historical sketch of the church
which was organized in 1902, was
read by the pastor, Andrew Broad
dus III. Then followed Greetings
from Neighboring Churches" by Rev.
L. NJ. Ritter, Greetings on Behalf
of Other Denominations" by Rev. E.
H. Rowe, and Greetings in General
by DR.. C. S. Webb and Judge E. c.
Moncure. Judge Morcure, who was
one Of the oldest men present, gave
an interesting account of visit Of
the fir Andrew Broaddus to his mo-
ther's home in 1914, which the judge
remembered distinctly, though he
was only a little boy.
lfr. Ashby Kay then responded to
the Greetings" On behalf Of the
church and pastor. His response was
admirable and at its conclusion, in
behalf of the church, he presented to
the pastor a very handsome. beauti-
fully engraved loving cup. This gift
came as great surprise to Mr..
who in his acceptance,
stated that however much he might
value the confidence 81 desteem Of
his members, the most priceless thing
to him was their love. On one side
the cup is inscribed "Andrsw Broad
dus I, 1S2o-1s4S; Andrew Broaddus
II, is4S-1s96; Andrew Broaddus III,
1868" On the other side, "Pre-i
sented by Salem Baptist church to
DR.. Andrew Broaddas III. upon the
completion Of the hundredth year Of
the Broadeus ministry. In loving ap-
probation Of service faithfully rem
dered."
The historic old church was beau
tifully decorated with cat flowers and
potted plants, and on the wall hung a
ehart:giying the dates OF the pastor;
ates Of the three Andrews at Salem,
and also the names OF The other.
churches which these men ilad served.
This chart was the handiwork of Mr..
C. W. Butterworth, of Milford, and
proved that he is an artist indeed.
This celebration was indeed a
remarkable occasion. The. crowd was
conservat;vely estimated ct more than
two thousand, many coming from
great distances.
Z There were mary members Of ! the
Brcaedps family present, coming
from North Carolina, Berryyilies,
Richmond, Essex, King and Queen
and various other points. 80
Nlne ministers were present and
took part IN the exercises, and it was
indeed a day of great spiritual power
and uplifsa-a day long to be remem-
bered 4
At the noon hour a bountiful di.ner
was served by the ladies of the church
aad the vast throng was heartily wei
coined.

The next morning the rniEdrops
were falling fast on the meadow and
Miss Daisy's upturned face never once
looked toward her lover. She was
drinking the longedfor water and had
no time to notice poor Dan.
The next morning after the rain
everything was so clean and fresh and
all the flowers were SO bright and
happy that Dan again spoke to Miss
Daisy of his love.
"Oh, .the world is so beautiful and
fresh this morning l cannot think OF
anything else" replied Miss Daisy as
she flirted the dewdrops from her
white skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged; he
still waited and hoped for his answer
but one morning poor Dan awoke with
a head quite white. He had grown old
with waiting and his long. white locks
fluttered In the breeze.
Then one day Miss Daisy grew tired
of the beauty around her. She cas-,
her eye toward her lover and. to her
horror, she saw he was quite bald Not
even. one spear of white hair was
there on his head.
"Oh!" exclaimed Miss Daisy. "How
funny you look. Why, you are old Mr.
Dan d. Lion. could not think OF
marrying you now. GOod-dayw
And that Is the reason, so the mead
ow flowers say, that the DandeliOr
grows faded and old with long, white
locks on Its little round head. Lonl
ago It's ancestor waited SO long fol
Miss Daisy's answer that he grew ole
and bald.

ground, then she turned II sidewise
glance on Dan, who was swaying with
impatience waiting for her answer
"The sky is so beautiful and blue to-
day." she said. II cannot think about
anything else; perhaps tomorrow
will give you my answer"
So poor Dan had to be content and
wait until the morrow, but when the
sun rose the next morning and Dan
asked Miss Daisy for her answer she
replied that the sun was SO bright and
warm she could think of nothing else.
But" she said, perhaps tomorrow
shall be able to think about your pro-
posal and give you your answer"
So Dandelion sat all day with his
face bright and happy because he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time to think about him.

"What'S in q Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history; mean.
ing; whence it was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
IGNORE.

MADE famous in this country by
lVl Poe, LenOre Is in reality the Span
ish transformation of one of the most
ancient of feminine names-Helen.
Its original root was "HelIos," the
Greek sun-god who drove his heaven
~ chariot around the heavenly vault
day by day, the name signifying light
and brightness.
Every language, practically, has
brought its distinguishing mark to
the original name. and Lenore is one
of the most beautiful and musical
Of the derivatives. In Italy. Leonora
is one Of the forms, Eleanor in Eng
land, Eileen in Ireland, and so on.
The original Spanish derivative
was Lemore, in which the IN" grad
ually displaced the IN"
The Jewel assigned to bearers Of
this name is the beautiful yellow
jacinth-a stone formerly carried by
travellers to insure them against &C
cident and disease. A fantasy assO-
ciated with this gem is that 1t warns
its wearer Of approaching danger by
growing pale in color and it also is
supposed to guarantee protection
from lightning. The lucky day of
Lenore is Sunday and is her lucky
number. To dream Of her natal stone
the yellow jacinth, Is interpreted to
mean success In any undertaking she
may be interested in at the time.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
FIELDER" AND COLDER"

THE former word, elder" should
be used when one refers to menu
bers of the same family; thus. MY
elder brother left for Euro.e today"
not, "My older brother" But colder"
should be used In referring to men,
bers of another family, and in refer
ring to objects. Thus, say, HE Is
the older of the two brothers," and
This table Is older than that chair"
not "elder." The same rule is applied
TO the words "eldest" and oldest"
One should say. II he has more than
one brother, my eldest brother left
for Europe today" not ''My Oldest
brother This chair Is the oldest OF
the three" not the oldest"
When direct comparison is made
between two persons, use "older," as
in the sentence, my mother is older
than my father" But when the com.
parisOn is not made directly, use this
form: MY mother is the elder of my
parents"

A PLACE TO TIE.


I'VE noticed afloat and a-tramping,
I've seen 1t on river and land,
The thing that the most
You need Is a post
To tie to when night Is at hand.
Some sort of nm anchor to hold you.
Some hawser that never will fail,
Some place you can tie
Till the storm has gone by,
To help you to ride out the gale.
So many go foolishly drifting
While rapids are roaring below.
Afoat on the tide
without compass or guide.
Till down to disaster they 60;
The need of us all Is an anchor,
painter to tie to the shore,
Some place to make fast
Till the tempest Is past
And the waters are rolling no more
SO many afloat on the river,
The turbulent river of life,
Have only their own
Poor resistance alone
To conquer the trouble and strife.
A fellow needs something to tie to.
His trail DER The sea or the sod,
Some friend that Is true
Who will carry him through
A woman, a pal, or God.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BYE. A. Walker

BYE. A. Walker

There may have been greater difficult
ties to surmount in the building of
the pyramids but they are useless
things. not so wonderful now as a
modern city skyscraper.
All five of these things are the nc.
comphshments of the brain Of man.
ADDED to them the traveller around the
world would wish to see those other
ana greater things that man has never
equaled: The falls at Niagara. the
Grand canyon, the mighty trees of
California, the great tides of Fundy,
the caverns at Luray, the mountain
Gus monuments of God in The Alps
and the Himilayas, the supreme
beauty Of Lake Louise or the Bay Of
Naples.
10 the traveller there is given the
great privilege of seeing with his own
eyes but even If you cannot travel,
the beauties and the wonders Of the
world are not denied you. You can
see them through the eyes Of others
who have seen them and have written
down in graphic and truthful language
the wonders that they found,
If you are interested III any of the
five things of man enumerated above
you can find them all Interestingly
written about in any good library, and
of the greater things in nature hun
dreds Of books have been written on
each of them.
