BOSTON WOOL.
The Demand Not Strong But Prices
 Firm.

Boston, Mar. 4-No weakness in values is noticeable in the wool mar ket here this week. although the de- mand continues quiet. The lack of demand is due to the fact that the large manufacturers, as a rule. have enough wool on hand to meet th- pres ent need and have shown little dispo- sition to buy. and the smaller manu- lecturers are buying sufficient to fill present orders.
 Advices received from the early Ari- Zona clip show that strong prices were I.aid there. in fact, about four CT five cents per secured pound more than thy. same class of wool would sell for in this market at the present time. There is q moderate demand for territcrial Wools. and values hold firm. Choice lots of fine wool are quoted on Q secured basis of IS cents. while lots running largely to staple all range up to 5O cents and better. Fine med ium territory is quoted at fl to il cents secured, with range higher if well stapled. Fleece wools are quiet but prices hold firm.

Card from Mr.. Bass.

Editor County Record:
understand that there is report
in circulation in ! certain sections,
based on my speech at Morrisrille,
to the effect that am opposed to
stock law exemptions. This is a
mistake. The idea that l intended
to convey was that l am in favor of
such exemptions wherever desired
by the people and that l would, if
elected, assist in securing such ex-
emptions by laws 80 framed as to be
constitutional, any report contrary
to this is false. Further / have no
connection with the case on the ex-
emption in the upper part of this
and the lower part of Florence coun-
ties. W. l.. BASS.

George Samuel Barr.

With saG heart and faltering pen
it becomes oar melancholy duty 70
record the death Of one who 10 the
writer VAS as truc friend as be
ever knew and in whose passing ne
feels deep and personal loss. We
refer 70 George Samuel Barr, whose
death casts pail Of gloom over our
community. and in town and county
alike the mou,mful tidings were re-
ceiyed with bowed heads and aching
hearts.
Yes, he is gone-the strong, big
hearted man, who but brief while
ago dwel. among Us in the prime Of
life and the full fruition Of health
and strength.
Scarce Two months since, he was
seized with that insidious disease,
typhoid fever, and at the very time
when sympathizing friends fondly
believed he had outworn his malady,
a relapse came and soon it was inc
vitable to watchful physicians and
anxious loved ones that his days
were numbered. On Friday, just at
the dawn Of day his heart ceased its
functions and his spirit was ushered
into the portals of the Mystic Beyond.
Mr.. Barr was born at Indiantown,
in Williamsburg county, June .,
1854, and WAS therefore a little more
than 4S years old. He was Il man
of fine intellect and versatile talent.
For the past ten years he resided in
Kingstree, where he was engaged in
hotel keeping and the mercantile
business. Few men were more pop
ular throughout the county, and as
the proprietor of Bars Hotel he
was well and favorably known to the
travelling public.
His immediate family consists of
his stricken wife and young son and
daughter. He is also mourned by IN
only brother and three sisters, be-
sides number of other relatives.
He was member of the Baptist
church, the Masonic fraternity and
the Wood men of the World.
The funeral services, conducted
by Rev. H. J. Cauthen were held
Friday AFTERNOON, at 5 o'clock, at
Indiantown church, where his re-
mains were laid to rest beside those
of his family who had gone before.
