Editor KeOwee Courier: I;
VIII you please give me space IN
your columns for a few lines, To-
counting a strange occurrence of the
recent past?'
= One day about three weeks ago,
one-half mile west Of the Sitton Old
Mill place at the fork of the Town
Vile and Oakway roads, little man
and little mule hitched to buggy
came travelling down the hill. He
stopped his mule and got out Of the
buggy. He then stepped back up the
road few steps. He had a rod Of
iron about two feet long in his right
hand and rock in his left hand. He
knelt down on his knees and drove
the rod up by the sideSf an old rot
ten stump, then laid the rock on top
Of the iron. He then got up, stood
for moment or two, then knelt
down again.
l walked up the road, even with
him, and sat down, unknown to him.
He wound his hand up in green
bunch Of broom straw, placed his
right hand upon his breast, and l
found that he was talking with the
Lord. Tn a, little while I understood
him to say, "Oh, God forbid that 8
many days shall ever pass over my
head! Oh, God, give me victory and
glory and power to overcome these
trials in the future" The prayer
was uttered in a low and trembling
voice. He then got up, wiped his
eyes, turned around and walked up
to me and said, "I drove up cor
ner stone for memorial at the judg-
ment by that old stump. l made one
wrong step. If / could recall that
wrong step l would never make it
again for any amount Of money. That
step destroyed the Joys of my life,
destroyed my prosperity and dissi-
pated my wealth and my health"
He turned his mule and buggy in
the road and laid his arm and head
upon the back Of his buggy for
moment or two, then wiped away
his tears again and said, with trem-
bling voice, 81 must co.
I asked him his name,- but he has
not told me yet. This was a puzzle
to me, and is yet. Citizen.

Union Claims Oldest Woman.

A dispatch from Union, S. c., Of
recent date says:
AS far as can be learned, Union
county may easily claim the distinc-
ton Of having on It's enrolment
books the oldest lady voter in South
Carolina in the person Of Mrs. Susan
Kirby, who has enrolled at the age Of
107.
Mrs. Kirby gets around her home
unasisted, and her sight is unusually
good, she being able to recognize her
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren as they call to see her.
Her hearing Is also unusually good
for one Of her age.
Mrs. Kirby Is devout member Of
the Green Street Methodist church,
and attended services regularly up
until few years ago, and in speak
ing with correspondent for the pa
pers she said that she recalls having
passed through four wars.
Mrs. Kirby said that the family
record was destroyed when their old
family Bible, which was in trunk
with some clothes, was sunk in the
Green river when she and her little
sister went on visit to relatives in
North Carolina, and when crossing
the river the flt-boat sank.
The trip Of ten miles to visit rela-
tives was made in an OK cart, the
trip taking up the entire day.
In all probability Mrs. Kirby will
bo an honor guest at the special
meeting to be held tomorrow at S
o'clock In the high school auditorium
when the lady candidates for Office
will address the women voters Of
Union.

secure modification or resembling Of
the order Of Acting Secretary Of tho

President Harding was said to be
disposed to keep open the yard IL
any possible means can be found, but
SO far, it was stated Mr.. Roosevelt
has found no report by which the
closing order can be modified
Suggestions have been made that
the shipping board might find some
use for the Charleston yard, but

stones, and all chickens roosting on
fences or In trees. in the section
where the hail was heaviest are said

they were ready for market they
were all ruined.
The storm covered section about
twenty miles long, beginning in the
adjoining county of Greenville and
continuing to the Saluda river at
Ware Shoals. The width Of this area
Is about ten miles.
