The promoters of the confederate monument are making preparations to make the 14th day of November a great I day for Clarendon. Senator E. D. Smith an, Colonel James Armstrong have written to Nir. J. U1. Lesesne accepting t-he invitation to he present and to make speeches. Sena:or Tillman has also said that he would endeavor to be present, so the people of this county should make this a day to ro down in history as the greatest 'in Clarendon's career. The cause for which this gathering is called is a noble one. it appeals to the patriot ism of a people who must be proud of the acheivements of their fathers: they are not asked to make sacrifices as were thewornen of France when they respond ed by giving up their jewelry for their country's hornor, we are askea to come together to have a part in the privilege to do honor to the heroic dead, whose deeds are deserving of commendation. It should be regarded a privilege to con tribute to such a cause, and we believe on the 14th the full amount necessary will be subscribed to erect the long wished for confederate monument.

The awful tragedy which uccured near Panola last Thursday morning, is without doubt the saddest story we have ever heard, and one which ellicits from all the most )rofouud sympathy for the broken hearted husband. We shall give the story from the correspondent near the scene: Summarton, Oct. 19.-Special: One of the most deplorable tragedies in the history of this community occurred near here this morning, when the young wife of Mr. Henry B. Richardwn was accidentally shot and killed by a gun in the hands of her husband. From the testimony brought out at the coroner's inquest, held at the home at noon, it apnears that Mr. and Mrs. Richardson were preparing to irive into Summer ton immediately after breakfast. The deceased was in her bed room when her husband entered and picked up a double-barreled shotgun from a corner, intending to kill a chicken with it. While speaking to his wife he examin ed the gun to see if it was loaded, and as he closed the breech there was a deafening report, followed by a cry ot pain, and the young woman fell mortal ly wounded to the tlor. The entire load entered ber left side, just beneath the arm, tearing her heart entirely away and causing immediate death. Just nine days ago the young couple surprised their large circle of friends by announcing their marriage. which took place in Augusta, Ga., on the 10th instant. The deceased was a young wo man of IS years of age, and was widely known and deservedly popular here abouts. She was the daughter of Mr. James Douglas Deas, formerly of Cam den, but now living here. Mr. Deas is in the West at the present time. She had several brothers and a sister, all of whom have been notified of the acci dent. The husband is a young man of great promise and is completely over whelmed by the terrible tragedy. The interment took place at St. Mark's church, Clarendon, at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, 20th instant. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the young husband and groom in his grief.

(By Pastor R. L. Grier) To the members of the congrezations he has served during tbe past sever years. Beloved Brethren: Seven years ago in obedience to your call. T came amons you a stranger. You opened youi hearts to -nie as a minister of Christ and accorded me a hearty welcome a! your pastor. How swiftly have these years glided by, seven as happy and delightful years as a pastor ever en joyed. To me it has been inexpressibly sweet to minister unto you from the pulpit and the family altar and in th, social gathering, and to partake of the charming hospitality of your homes, a hospitality as refined as it was gener our, and as delicate as the tracery of at exquisite cameo. To the best of my ability I have served you, ever ready to spend and be spent on your behalf. And now in the Providence of God the time has comE for this tender relationship to be sev. ered and ye among whom I have gone preaching the Kingdom of God shal] see my face no more as your pastor. Another servant of God shall lool down upon you from the sacred desi and point you to the narrow gate thal marks the entrance to life. I have been with you in sorrow and joy, in prosperity and sometimes ir adversity, and these things have weld. ed our beaats into one. The memor] of this pastorate shall ever be unsul. lied. "Ye are in our hearts to di( together and live together." The same generous kindness showr to me from my first appearance in youl midst has characterized all your rela tions with me; and the patient indul gence, the sweet charity you hav accorded me, and the cordial co-opera tion have made my stay full of cheer and every work "a labor of love." ] could wish no happier relation to evel exist between any people anid myself. "And now, brethren, I commend Toi to God and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up, and t< give you an inheritance among all then all them which are sanctified." "Finally, brethren, farewell. B( perfect, be of good comfort, be of on mind, live in peace; and the God c love and peace shall be with you." "The Grace of our Lord Jesus Chris be wvith you. My love be with you al in Christ Jesus. Amen." Your Servant in Christ. R. JI-vINGSTON GRIER. The Manse, Greeleyville, S. C., Octobei 1911.
