Sudden Death of a Little Boy.

Friday morning Mr.. and Mrs. j. W.
Rasor of 'Ninety-SiX started on a mo-
Tor trip to Columbia where Mr.. Rasor
had business to transact. Mrs. Rasor
invited her sister, Mrs. Hale Sherard
and children to accompany them.
Reaching Newberry the party stopped
at the home of Mr.. Ben NJ. Dennis
and family to invite Mrs. Dennis, the
aunt of the sisters, to go with them.
The ladies and children remained in
The car while Mrs. Dennis was making
ready for the trip. Sleeping in the
arms of his mother, quietly and
peacefully lay her little son, Burr
/ Kinard, two years and four months
old. Mrs. Dennis had come out to
,he car and observed the slumbering
infant, but within the short space of
.wenty minutes, at about 10 o'clock,
the babe had passed away. In that
time Mrs. Snerard had noticed the
change in the color of her baby's lips
and Immediately discovered that the
child was dead. AS soon as she dis
covered the change she ran into the
house and called to her aunt. DR..
,. G. Ellesor was hastily summoned,
out death had already and suddenly
claimed the little one before the doc
;or could possibly have arrived. The
oaby had had whooping cough after
Influenza, but had apparently recov-
,red and the mother thought he was
only quietly resting on her lap when
he death stroke so unexpectedly stop
,ed the beating of the little weakened
leart, and the spirit had without
1isible sign left the frail body at rest
n the loving arms that had so tender
sheltered it. 1t was peculiarly
:ad death to the mother who only
hort while before left home in antlci-
patton of a happy trip. A message
vas promptly sent Mr.. Sherard and /.
cached him at Godsey. He arrived
1ere on the 1890 train. The grief
;tricken ones, accompanied by Mrs.
Dennis, carried the remains to the
lome at Ninety-Six, leaving Newberry
IN the $40 train, followed by the
genuine sympathy of all who knew
# the sorrowful event.

YOUNG "JAPS"
ARE TAKING UP
AMERICAN JAZZ

Tokio.-Western dancing is be-
ing actively taken up by the young
er Japanese generation and is de-
veloping into a national craze. The
fox trot, the waltz, the bunny hug
and all the fanciful steps are be-
ing learned to the tune of Jazz mu-
sic. And with the coming Of the
iancing fad, the conversation turns
to jazz and to steps and to music.
To the Japanese girls, the kimono
and ZOri seem as comfortable for
the glide around the dance floor as
the costume of the American girl.
A Japanese newspaper says: "A
dancing teacher is now as much a

as q person we'll acquainted with
