DIED, on the 18th a

DIED, on the 18th April, after most painful and
lingering illness Of three months, Col. JOHN
BATES, at his residence on the Ridge, in Lcxing-
ton District, S. C.
He was born in Lexington, but for upwards Of
forty ycara resided alternately in both Lexington
and Edgefeld. He was the youngest son of Michael
Bates, soldier who cut to pieces by the Tories
of the American vouton. The wife of the de-
ceased was daughter of Maj. John P. Bond, who
for many years served the people of his District as
Repr resen,ative in the Sate Legislature Col. Bates
himself held a Commission in the Army during the
War of 1912, for which he has since received a
bounty. After the close of that struggle he re-
turned home, settled down and prosecuted his ag-
ricultural pursuits with no ordinary energy. And
his industrious and praisewor,hy efforts were not
without success, for within comparatively short
space Of time he accumulated competency for
himself and family.
In The latter part Of the Summer of l645, he was,
in the midst Of the most promising health, stricken
down with paralysis, of the severrst type, and never
afterwards could the aid of medical skill or the pa
tient nursing of q devoted wife and children ever
restore him to health again. Thus for ten years he
fingered but life OF affliction, such as thc Lord
be willng) pray | may never know any one to live
again.
Col BATES died in the ffty-screnh year of his
age, leaving wife, one son and four daughters who
mourn his loss, besides many friends who were en-
dearcd to him by the many kind, generous and
social qualities Of his disposition. J.
