w. NJ. U. Meeting.

A special meeting of all the circles
of the Baptist w. M. U. was held at
the church on Friday, Mrs. ]. c..
Lewis being leader.
Quite number took part in the
programme, which was carried out
with unusual interest and enthusiasm.
The subject for the afternoon was
"Stewardship." There were several
papers on this subject, followed by
prayer for better stewardship.
The different phases of the "sev-
enty-fve Million campaign were
discussed and information given as
to the progress of the work. Special
music by Mesdames B. D. Carter, H.
N. Folk, J. J. Heard and Paul Whit
taker, added much to the occasion.
The meeting closed with very in
teresting and instructive talk on
tithing by Mrs. C. W. Rentz, Sr. We
feel very much gratifed at the work
the society is doing, and the interest
shown.-Cor. Sec.

A High-falutin Hen.

Speaking of freaks, J. A. Richard
son, who operates the Central hotel,
has a hen that has very high ideals
when it comes to family matters.
Central hotel is a rather tall dwelling
of two stories, and has slightly fiat
roof. The hen in question, in seek
ing a location for her nest, chose the
top of the house on the roof, where
she proceeded to deposit number of
eggs. In due season, the maternal
instinct asserted itself, and the hen
began. the usual three weeks of set
ting to hatch the eggs. Last Satur-
day, the period of incubation being
up, she emerged with three small
chicks, which, being discovered by a
member of the household, were res
cued from the roof. The hen attain
ed the roof by means of a nearby tree,
and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the
daily task of ascending and descend
ing to the roof to attend to- her moth
erly duties.

NARROW ESCAPE IN WRECK.
j. X. Mayfield Pinned Under Auto
and Left BY Strangers.

]. K. Mayfeld relates a most re-
markable and unfortunate experience
which he encountered about two
weeks ago. He was on his way home
to Denmark and while on the cause
way just out of Orangeburg, large
car loaded with some four or five
men drove up behind him and made
an effort to pass. Mr.. Mayfeld, as
soon as he could do so, gave the
strangers half of the road, allowing
them to pass; both cars moving in
the same direction. Just as this car
attempted to pass Mr.. Mayfield they
ran into a buggy that was coming,
meeting the two cars, and in which
were riding two white men. The
buggy was badly damaged, and as the
rear of the large car skidded around
into Mr.. Mayfield's Ford practically
new carr it completely demolished
one wheel, bursted the body of the
tin lizzie, turned it upside down over
the embankment and pinning Mr..
Mayfeld underneath it.
The car did not stop to offer as
sistance after doing such terrible
damage and not knowing but what
Mr.. Mayfield was seriously hurt or
killed. They continued their journey
at a rapid speed and up to the pres
ent time their identity has not been
esta blished.
This may sound too awful to be
true and yet these are the facts.
Just day or two after the accident
| occurred the writer knew of it and
inspected the damaged car and had
Mr.. Mayfeld's statement of how it
occurred, but hoping to locate the
parties who committed the dastardly
and cowardly act, it was thought
best not to publish the facts until
| later.
Mr.. Mayfeld was injured only
slightly but he considers it nothing
short of miraculous how he escaped.
His son was in the car with him
when the accident occurred but he
escaped serious injury

SILK SHIRTS WANTED.
Dealer Finds Men Are Still Addicted
To Them.

Has the silk shirt passed from pop
ularity? Not according to the pro-
prietor of one of the large mems
clothing and furnishing establish
ments in York county. Since the
peak last year of both the price and
demand, this merchant has watched.
the demand for silk shirts probably
more closely than anything else. He
believes that the silk shirt serves in
a way as a barometer on the public's
pocketbook and also it's taste. If the
demand for silk shirts is good it is
a sign that people have money and
also that mans taste is for something
artistic.
While the demand for silk shirts
has fallen off somewhat, this merchant
declares that it is not. off as much as
many other lines and that every indi
cation points to steady demand for
this sort of shirt. He has purchased
large stocks for fall and winter use
and believes there will be no difficulty
in disposing of them.
The rather active demand for silk
shirts during the summer, when the
rate of employment has been high,
has proven to this merchant that the
talk about the mechanic and laboring
man who made big money during anc
after the war and then spent it, is
mere hearsay. The man who made
big money during those times ra1
true to form, stated the merchant
and those who had always bee
broke before are broke now. Thos
who had always saved little, savet
some then, and they have money nov
and are willing to spend it for goof
merchandise. providing prices ar
right and, therefore, this merchant
looking for a good business in the sll
shirt line.-Yorkville Enquirer.

DEATH OF ROBERT KIRKLAND.
Nephew of A. l.. Kirkland Expires in
Savannah Monday Morning.

Robert A. kirkland, Bob Alfred" :"
as he was known to his many friends,
died in Savannah, Ca, Monday fol-
lowing an injury received several
weeks ago while swimming in Savan-
nah. The young man was son Of
DR.. n. F. Kirkland, formerly of this
county, and nephew of Clerk Of
Court A. L. Kirkland, of this city.
He was injured in peculiar way, and
no hope was entertained for his re-
covery, although he was fully con-
scious most of the time.
While swimming he dived in shall
low water, to avoid striking fellow
swimmer, and the impact crushed the
cervical vertebra, or the sixth joint of
the backbone. Everything possible
was done to save his life, BIT the
injury produced paralysis from the
neck down, and the crushed vertebra
could not be reached by surgery with
any hope of removing the cause Of
the paralysis.
The young man is remembered by
many friends and relatives in this
county, who are grief stricken over
the terrible accident.
The remains of the young man
were brought Tuesday to Mizpah
Methodist church. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon, and inter-
ment was made in the nearby ceme-

James F. Byrnes.

James F. Byrnes, of the second
South Carolina district, has made a
notable record. He went into con-
gress a few years ago and was as
obscure and as unnoticed as any
youthful and bashful member of the
lower house could possibly be. He
did not push himself conspicuously
and throughout he has been modest
and unassuming; but gradually he
began to be considered as young
man Of exceeding promise. Older
members began to sit up and take
notice and whenever Byrnes, of South
Carolina, had something to say there
was a general pricking up of ears
all over the chamber.
Now, after a number of years as
member of the house Mr.. By:nes
ranks among the really big men.
During the Democratic administra-
ton he was an able exponent. Of the
policies of his party and now he is a
powerful member of a powerful mi
nority. The Chronicle ventures the
hope that South Carolina will cor
tinue to honor this young man and
that some day the second district will
consent for him to be promoted to the
United States senate. Indeed, we
would not be surprised if South Caro-
linians were not already planning to
send him to the great upper chamber
at Washington That he would re-
fleet credit there upon himself, his
state and the south, we have no
doubt Chronicle.

Devoted Member Of Mizpah Church
Died Last Week.

Ulmers, Oct. This entire COM
munity was shocked on last Mon
day morning to learn of the death
of Mrs. Essie Weekley, wife of John
F. Weekley. The suddenness Of her
death greatly added to the sadness
of the passing Of this beloved wo-
man. Immediately prior to her
death, Mrs. Weekley was apparently
enjoying the best of health. She re-
tired on Sunday night in her usual
jovial spirits and was discovered dead
the following morning about 6
o'clock when she was called by her
husband.

South Carolina. She was in her 54th
year. Her marriage to Mr.. Weekley
took place in January, 1888, conse-
quently they had lived together. a
most happy married life of over 80
years. Mrs. Weekley was in the
truest sense a devoted wife and
mother. The funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Peeler, of Olar, on Tuesday az
ternoon, at the CT. Salkehatchle
Baptist church in Ulmers, after
which the remains were laid to rest
in the Ct. Salkehatchie cemetery

OREGON CAVES OPEN TO PUBLIC.
Included in National Park and Road
to Caves Will Be Provided.

The Oregon Caves, Sc miles south
of Grand Pass, may be reach
ed next season by automobiles.
Word has been received from
the Road and Trails Divis-
ion of the United States Fores-
try Service, Washington, D. c., that
a road is to be built to the caves.
Rivaling the Mammoth Caves OF
Kentucky in picturesqueness, the
Josephine County Caves this season
have been visited by more than 200
tourists. These sightseers have all
come to the caves, despite the i've
miles of hiking" necessary.
The discovery of the Oregon caves
was accidental. While hunting in
1874, Elijah Davidson wounded a
bear at the top Of the mountain
overlooking the caves. 1t rolled
and crept 5000 feet downward to the
lower entrance, and there took ref
uge. Davidson followed.
The labyrinth Of the chambers
range from a few feet in size to 9TH
ers of greater dimensions. Impressed
by their beauty, Joaquin Miller, the
"poet of the Sierras' named it the
marble Halls of Oregon"
Two miles down the mountain a
sparkling stream of water tumbles
out of the internal darkness and
plunges down a rugged canyon. The
tourist enters the cavern over lad
der mounted on a shelf above the
stream and then follows twisting
passage. The the adventurer reaches
"Old Nick's Bed Room" low, rugged
room in which his Satanic majesty is
supposed to repose.
Following more passages the Visl-
tors arrive at Joaquin Miller's
Room" named in honor Of the fam
Gus poet. This room has a marble
basin lined with frost like crystals
and filled with clear cold. water.
Continuing through the corridors
the sightseers enter the Ghost Cham
ber, at least $50 feet long, $50 feet
wide and 100 feet high. The first
glance reveals numerous ghost like
figures, which on closer inspection are
disclosed as massive columns of sta
lactite and stalagmite grown together.
But the most wonderful spectacle
in the entire labyrinth is the circular
chamber of the eastern end of the
Ghosts Chamber. Ascending ladder,
the visitors enter room which is not
over 25 feet in diameter and about
200 feet in length. Every foot OF
the wall is covered with crystalized
carborates, resembling great, snow
white swans in upright flight.
The government has made the Or
gon cases a national park. Even
guide service is free.

Oh, how We have missed you, Dave;
None but God alone can know,
But we know that, though we've
sorrowed,
You can never suffer more.
We did all we could to save you,
And to soothe your awful pain,
But, dear Dave, God said, Come,
your task is finished"
And we pray to meet you again.
We should never fret or worry
When we think of the pain you
bore.
But this is all so soon forgotten
When you've entered Heavens
door.

Since God took you away,
And l have thought of you each day,
For I know that you've gone to
stay.
So often have 1 listened for your
footsteps,
Coming up to my door,
But, alas! 1 have only memory,
For can never hear them more.
Just once, Dave, have stood by your
silent mount of clay,
And wished that I could tell, you,
dear,
That l love your memory and miss
you more,
Than did the day you were taken
away.
