Death Of MI. Lee Corlsy.

Mr. Lee Corley, son Of Reuben
Corley, died at the home of his
parents in the Providence section
last Saturday night, after brief i'll
ness with typhoid pneumonia. A
few days previous he reached his
22ud year Of age, and life for him
was full of bright promises
OF usefulness and happiness. Being
of a robust build and the pic
ture of health and strong young
manhood none of his friends realized
that cruel and fell disease had
laid it's hands upon his energy and
vitality and would claim him as a
victim of the grave. But the sum-
mons had gone forth and all that
remains mortal of the noble young
man, DOW quietly sleep in the grave
yard at Providence, where they were
buried in the presence of a large
congregation of sorrowing relatives
and friends.

DR.. Pierce is a regular graduated and

practical life long experience with all
forms of women's diseases than any other

BAgNwELL FOR CONGRESS.

We are glad to notice that s move
ment is on foot with a view OF having
the First Congressional District rep
resented on the floor of Congress by
a distinguished and brilliant son OF
Charleston. A moments rehec.
ton will convince any reasonable per-
son of the business and fairness Of
Caar.eston's claim to b represented
in the national halls of legislation by
n who is directly interested in all
projects looking to the material we'll
fare and prosperity of that city; one
who is in close touch and intimately
associated with her people, both in
their social and business relations.
Charleston is the wealthiest city in
the State, it's population is the larg-
est and it's business connection with
that of the interior is so intimate and
dovetailed that any calamity or catas-
trophe that might overtake her com
mercial and financial institutions
would be a calamity and a catastro'
phe that woald be felt in the remotest
corner of the Stste-;ndeed she is
the center of the wealth and bust
ness of the State. Added to these
undeniable truths she is about half
way between Port R ,yal and George
town making Charleston a convenient
place for the residence of the Con
gresham.
Having demonstrated Charleston's
right to nsmeithe Congressman, what
is more proper than she should SO.
lect from among her many worthy
sons, Mr.. Joseph W. Barnwell as the
n into whose keeping to entrust
her interest. He has been tried I'M
der many circumstances and it is yet
to be recorded where he has failed
in his duty as he conceived it to be
to his State and city. With ability
marked with brill ,ncy, sound judy
ment and profound craftsmanship
that carried conviction and enabled
him to break down all opposition, he
served his State and city for years in
the lower branch of the General As
sembly and is now faithfully serving
his people in the upper branch of
that body where he has added new
laurels to his fame as a statesman,
an orator and a thinker, He vas q
member of the last constitution CON
vention and the prints of his indivi-
duality is left upon u present or
ganic law. All of his tforts were
directed toward those measures call
ing for the exercise of q trained
mind in s~tatecraft. His conserya-
tism had a wholesome eff in shaping
the work of the conventional and the
State is largely indebted to him for
many important acts of legislation.
His elevation to the halls of Congress
will be a lucky stroke of policy that
will be beneficial not only to the First
District, but to the entire State.
