We paint the one that burnt down

We sell the paint to painters; We

Lead-aud-oil is the old fashion

because it takes fewer gallons than

Obituary.
MIR. Irwin Hazelius Nupamaker was
born near Irmo, S. G. April %, 1887,
and died at his home Saturday after
noon, January 30tb, 1904. after a
little over four Ne bs intense suffer
ing, being C6 years, 8 months and 2
days Of age. He was married to
Miss Carrie Matilda Baughn, July
7ih, 1859. To them thirteen child
rem were born. His wife, four sons,
and five daughters survive him.
About the year 1858 Brother Nun
amaker joined Kepnerly's Methodist
Episcopal Church South, the society
then was below Irmo o few miles,
sflerwards this church and society
was moved to the site at Icmo and
the pame Union Chapel was given,
subse q1ently when the new church
building was erected it wes called
Uuion Church. For twelve years
Brother Nunamsker served as Stew
ard, always faithful to the work
committed to him. He was con
verted at Shady Grove Church dur
ing the year 1865 or 1866, under the
ministry of the Rev. J. B. Trsywick
of the South Carolina Conference.
OF his religious experience We are
fully assured that be was indeed a
Child of God and therefore q j)int
heir with Christ.
he was not man of demonstra-
tive temperament, but Of a quiet
conservative nature. His testimony
was clear ard strong. His religious
experience was manifested in Godly
life. We have seen the public and
private life and found him circum-
spect in all the relations he sustained.
he bore the common suffsrings, dis.
appointments, and met the tempta-
tions Of life in the spirit of Christ.

the list of great powers, and to occupy secondary
position for many wears to come as result OF her
humiliation in the Far East The assumption I'M
puted to German military and civil officers IS pre-
mature The fall of Sebastopol did not reduce bus
STA to the level of second rate power, although
the exhaustion of her resources at the close OF the
Crinean war was indisputable. If Port Arthur
should defy assault or should hold out for CON
siderable time until at all events. Russa's Baltic
feet should have reached Mauchurian waters; if
General Kuropatkin should succeed in beating oil
his Japanese opponents and in withdrawing the
bulk of his forces intact to Hardin; and If the new
feet going from the Baltic should defeat the Jap
anese warshps under Admiral Togo. or contrive
to evade them, and find refuge in Vladivostok;
if these, or most of these things, should occur,
Russia would enter on the next campaign with
better prospect Of victory than she has yet pos
sessed and she would have lost prestige which
she might not fairly hope to regain. 1t is true that
events would have demonstrated the extent to
which corruption and ineficicncy pervade the Rus
sian military and naval systems; but that have
been secret to the German general staff, who
have carefully studied Russias experience in the
last war with Turkey.
Not until Port Arthur has been taken, until
Kuropatkin has been forced to surrender or been
routed, and until Russias Baltic fleet has been
destroyed, captured or reduced to impotence, will
it be reasonable to talk about Russia's having
dropped, temporarily into the category of see
ond rate powers.
