j, W. Rice Dead.

Mr.. J. w. Rice died at Glenn Springs
last Friday morning at 2.3O O'Clock.
While he had been in bad health for years,
a congestive chill was the immediate
cause of his death. The body arrived here
last Saturday morning and the burial
took place at the cemetery at five O'Clock
the same afternoon. DR.. W. d. Rice, of
Denmark, conducted the services. In &C
cordance with the wish Of deceased, ne
was buried in the Buist plot by the side
of his sister, Emma. The Bamberg
Guards turned out in full uniform, with
their flag, and escorted the body to the
cemetery. As the grave was filled three
yolleys were fired over it and the bugle
PLAYED "taps," making the ceremony un-
usually impressive. The funeral was
largely attended.
j. ". Rice had been familiar figure
on our streets for many years. He was
born near here, and was sixty years Old
at the time of his death. He was a stu
dent at the Citadel when the war broke
out, and at once came home and enlisted
in the old Bamberg Guards, and went to
the front with that command, being as
signed to Hagood's regiment first South
Carolina.) He was made color bearer, and
at the BATTLE of Fort Harrison received
five severe wounds, from which 1t was
thought he would never recover. He
came home and never went back to the
war, his wounds leaving him a physical
wreck. He was gallant soldier, and
had been great sufferer for many years
on account of the injuries received While
battling for his country. After the war
he engaged in the mercantile business IN
this town and did large business. He
accumulated considerable property, but
failing health forced him to give up bust
ness. In fact, he had been practically an
invalid for years, and when the writer
first saw him eleven years ago we did not
believe he would live six months longer.
Mr.. Rice was member of the Baptist
church, having embraced that faith early
in life, and served his church for long
time in the capacity of clerk. He leaves
two sisters Mrs. Z. 3. Price and Mrs. F.
NJ. Bailey, as well as many other relatives
and connections He had made his home
for the past twelve years with Mr.. NJ. A.
Move, his brother-in-law.
The deceased was good man, good
soldier, and a true Christian. He per
formed every duty of life faithfully, hv-
ing up to high standard of honor and
integrity. He was truly one of the heroes
of the "iost cause" for the wounds re-
ceiyed in battle caused the sufferin g
which no doubt made life burden to him
through a long period. He was never
married, and for this no doubt his physi-
cal condition was largely responsible.

can Exposition at Buffalo and Niagara
Falls last week. The exposition is very
good in every way, but the best feature
is the electrical illumination. At SIS p.
m. all lights are put out, making it dark
for moment, after which you will see
millions of little red spots everywhere
which gradually grow brighter and in
about minutes time you would think
you had suddenly awoke in fairyland
itself.
Niagara Falls cannot be described in

this mighty work of nature has to be seen

Good for Bnmberg.

Mr.. E. II. pringle. President of the Bans
of Charleston and Manager of the ways
and Means Department of the Exposition
has been doing fine work for the EXposl-
ton during the last three or four weeks,
and yesterday received Il subscription OF
500 from the town of Bambcrg for stock
in the Exposition Company. This Is an
indication of the splendid public spirit of
the thriving town of Bamberg, and shows
that the whole State is, or ought to be,
directly interested in making the EXPOSE
ton thoroughly representative OF every
part of the State and of every interest III
the State. When people come to the ES-
position and find out what counties nave
contributed to the building OF the sho"
they will naturally be attracted to those
counties which have had the business
sense and enterprise to make their opror-
tunities known. Men who have money
to invest will 90 where there is an indlca,
ton of enterprise and public spirit, and
they will find an examination of tic re-
sources of Bambcrg to their advantage

Jspanese Peasants Who Are Kept
Track Of by Labels.
When the Japanese peasants get
themselves up for pilgrimage to a
city for the purpose Of laying in stock
of flnery, they present the Quaintest ap-
pearance Imaginable. The women gen.
orally tuck up their petticoats we'll
above their knees, either leaving the
lecs bare or else swathing them In
white bandages which form a kind OF
leggings. Their hair is done in the usu-
al elaborate Japanese style, and gener'
ally an artificial flower Is stuck IN ut
the top. 1t does look comic to see the
wizened face of an old woman With a
large red nose hobnobbing over 1t. And
this floral decoration is not confined to
the women. When you meet party of
pilgrims, you often see the old men also
with O flower stuck coquettishly above
the ear.
At Nagano it appears that many OF
the poor old dears from the country get
so bewildered by the magniticence of
the places they 20 to and the distrac'
tons of shopping that they quite lose
their heads and consequently their
way. So the ever thoughtful Japanese
police have insisted that every party OF
pilgrims is to have a distinguishing
badge. At Nagano 1t was the common
est thing possible to see some ancient
dame rushing about wailing: "Where Is
my party? Where is the purple iris
partyT or "Where Is the yellow towel
round the neck party?' And then she
would be told that yellow towel round
the neck party" was on its way to the
station or that the purple irises" were
still saying their prayers in the temple.

Counsel That All Young Men Enter

'eSIy SOD" said the fond but wise
parent, you are leaving me to 60 out

you but advice. Never tell lie. If you
wish to put one in circulation, get 1t
published. A lie cannot live, but 1t
takes one O blamed long time to fade
out Of print.
always read your contract. A man
might consider he was getting a sine
cure If he we're offered n position pick
Ing blossoms off n century plant; but,
you see. he wouldn't have a rclnunera-
tive occupation II he were paid on
piecework.
"Ee not overcritical. Even the most
ordinary sort of a genius can tell when
the other fellow is making a fool OF
himself.
Remember that the young man, like
the anglers worm, is rather better for
being vislbly alive.
"Be careful in the choice Of your sur.
roundings. Environment will do great
deal for a man. For example. flour and
water in a china jug Is cream sauce; In
a pail on the sidewalk it is billstickers
paste.
Don't forget that there's time for
everything and that everything should
be done in It's proper time. Never hunt
for bargains in umbrellas on q rainy
day.
"You may make enemies. If you

DEAR SIR:-In the permanent way
That's the way to have house painted
