Death of Mrs. Workman.
Teachers Went Home
to Vote.
The second primary passed off in

Ihe second primary passed OH III
about the same manner as the first,
(, the voters, men and women, coming
early. Some Of the very patriotic cit
izens were kind in using their cars
for some who wanted to vote, but
were unable to walk the distance. To
vote and vote right, was the pervad-
ing spirit of the day.
Sunday night at the Baptist church
the congregation had the pleasure of
hearing Miss Pauline White speak of
her mission work in Brazil. For sew
eral years she has been missionary
there and is doing great work.
She told of the great field for work
and its needs and told many personal
experiences that made her talk ex-
ceedingly interesting, which made
hearers more than ever, feel that
nothing but their best should be CIV
en- in promoting the work. Miss
White is in South Carolina for
years rest, and at present is visiting
brothers, sisters and other relatives
in the state. While in Johnston, she
and her mother are guests of their
aunt, Mrs. Georgia Turner. Mrs.
White now has three missionary
children, Rev. Maxcy White of Bra
I'll, Miss Pauline White and Miss
Leda White who is in training as
medical missionary.
Mrs. j. C. Workman died at her
home here on Saturday evening after
a few days illness and the deepest
sympathy is for the family so sud-
denly bereaved. About a week ago a
pimple appeared on her face near
the mouth, and in two or three days
it appeared infected, and this spread
so rapidly that her condition was
critical, and bio I'd poison developing,
the end soon came. Everything posi-
BILE was done to save her and friends
and neigh5ors were sTersy kind 4 and snlga
sympathetic and helped to minister
to her. Mrs. Workman was beauti-
full Christian character and men,
Der of the Baptist church. She was
of loving and gentle disposition,
kind friend to all and was a devoted
mother. Besides her husband are

and little Mildred Workman. Mrs. Al
bert Lott was her sister, and she had
several brothers who resided near
Cross Hill and at Newberry, and all

Miss Ella Jacobs was enabled to
cast her vote here on last Tuesday,
through the kindness of the depart

where she is teaching, having been
sent over in a car for this purpose.
Through the kind and patriotic
spirit of some of the gentlemen here,
a car was turned over to the teach
ers here in the school, one of Lees
vile, Batesburg and Lexington, and
they were driven to their homes and
