Miscellaneous Shower.

Mrs. j. ]. Heard, most charming
and popular member of the Apollo
Music club, was honoree at a miscel-
laneous shower given by her club
sisters at the attractive home of
Mrs. E. H. Henderson last Monday
afternoon. This affair was in the
nature of a farewell party, prior to
Mrs. Heard going to Detroit to live.
The day being gray and cool, was
a striking contrast to the interior OF
this beautiful home with it's decora-
tions of sweet peas, pink roses and
ferns. The members were received
by Mrs. Henderson and Miss Lalla
Byrd and after all had arrived ana
we're having a good time, knock
was heard at the door. An "old
southern nanny" impersonated by
Mrs. C. F. Gilchrist (who did the
part to perfection) entered with a
basket of beautiful and useful gifts
which she presented to Mrs. Heard.
This was quite surprise to her as
she thought she was attending a call
meeting. While the gifts were being
passed for all to see, appropriate
toasts were given. mrs. Heard gra-
ciously responded and expressed
deep regret in leaving the club.
An old time spelling match
proved to be a source of much merri-
ment. The first prize, a lovely box
of stationery, was given to Mrs. j.
Frank for being the 'best speller, -
while the consolation, bag of can
dy, went to Mrs. Tillman Fielder for
Sitting down first" Other games
were also played after which deli
cious refreshments were served

city, had been submitted to the
United States senate as postmaster
at Bamberg AS soon as the senate

Annual Memorial
at RiuerS Bridge

The annual memorial exercises OF
the Rivers Bridge Memorial associa-
ton were held last Friday at the
memorial grounds in the presence of
the usual large gathering of Con-
federate veterans and their friends.
The day was rather cool, and the
morning was fine, but in the after
noon about the time of the close of
the days programme it began to
rain, and some of those in attendance
got their enthusiasm slightly damp
ened before they reached their
homes.
Chas, Ca rroll Simms, of Barnwell,
was the orator of the day. Preced-
ing his address, the Carlisle band
rendered an appreciated service in
furnishing the audience with some
excellent band music, under the di-
rection of Major John G. Lanham,
one of the pieces being Dixie,
which, as usual, brought forth liberal
applause. The Rentz Quartette from
Bamoerg also delighted the audience
with several vocal selections which
were literally applauded.
The invocation was asked by the
Rev. c. NJ. Peeler, of Olar, after
which Representative J. Carl Kearse,
of Bamberg, introduced Mr.. Simms
as the speaker of the occasion. In
his introduction, Mr.. Kearse referred
to the distinctive service of the vet
erans in defending their home land,
and to the brilliant ancestry of the
speaker, paying high tribute to the
father of the speaker, who was for
many years one Of this county's and
states most distinguished citizens,
and to the speaker himself who has
inherited many of his fathers bril-
liant traits and who has had many
honors conferred upon him.
Mr.. Simms paid glowing tribute
to the soldiers of the lost cause, re-
ferring to the brave and unselfish
manner in which they had entered
the service of. their country and Of
the distinguished service they rend-
cred mankind in upholding the prin-
ciples of the Confederacy. States
rights came in for some discussion,
and the infringement of the federal
government upon the rights OF the
states was scored. Some specific in
stances of this infringement was re-
ferred to, including the activities of
the interstate commerce commission.
Another fact deplored was rnat when
an agent Of the internal revenue de-
partment takes a human life the gov
ernment details members of its legal
department to defend him. f
In turn, the speaker thinks, the
state government is becoming too
much centralized, the state tax COM
mission coming in for considerable
criticism. Mr.. Simms, in regard to
the question of taxation, advocated
that all cultivated land should be
tax free.
After the roll call by Coroner
7eigler, and the inging of "Ameri-
ca" by the audience, the veterans
marched to the grave of the soldiers
killed in the battle at that point, fol-
lowed by ladies with flowers, with
which the grave was decorated in
loving memory Of the valiant service
rendered by the dead heroes. The
exercises Of the day came to a close
when a bugler' sounded taps. A
bountiful dinner was served on the
grounds, one of those who usually
attend describing it as the most
bountiful ever.
