Death of Mr.. Martin Hunter.

Mr.. Martin Hunter died at the hospital
in Charleston Monday night, where he
had been carried only a few days before
for treatment. He had been in bad health
for a long time, and had been spending
several months in Bamberg with his broth
er, hopiug that he would improve. But he
gradually grew worse, and many of his
friends never expected to see him again
alive when he left for Charleston.
The body was brought to Branchville
on the train Tuesday night, and from
there carried to Hunters Chapel, where
the interment took place today (Wednes-
day..
Mr.. Hunter was born in the Hartzog
section of this county, and lived there for
many years. For several years past,
however, he and his family had been liv-
ing in Augusta. He was about fifty years
old, and leaves wife and one son, as
we'll as several brothers and numerous
other relatives.

Lived With Pin in Heart.

DETROIT, July 90 Fred Montgomery,
a waiter of Sandwich, Ont. who was taken
to St Mary's Hospital July 6, with a
wound in his breast, made by hat pin,
died to-day. AT the post-mortem exam
nation six inches of the pin was found
imbedded in his breast, part of 1t actually
in the mans heart. The pieces of pin had
begun to rust and the physicians marvel
that Montgomery lived so long. When
taken to the hospital from lodging
house Montgomery said he received the
wound by accident, claiming that
woman with whom he had been in a cafe
had slipped and lurched against him as
she was pinning on her hat, causing the
wound. 1t is now thought that perhaps
the wound was received in a row at his
home, in Sandwich, early in the evening
on which he was taken to the hospital.
Canadian officials say that Montgomery's
wife has been missing since the night of
the row, and is supposed to have gone to
Indian Territory.

CITY Council Meeting.

City council held special meeting last
Thursday night, at which several matters
of more or less importan ce were acted up
on. A letter had been re2e;:cd from Mr.
D. J. Howell in refer2nce to the water
and light franchise, and council took the
position that the franchises had expired
What will finally be done in reference to
same, it is impossible to say now.
The matter of license for shows at the
opera house was taken up, and it was de-
cided to tax the house $4,000 year and
not to put license on each show exhib
iting there. This will no doubt end the
matter, over which there has been some
discussion.
Council also decided to place license
on livery stables, and license of $500
year had already been placed on the drays

Woman's Home Companion.

It is doubtful if a better lot OF mldsum'
mer fiction was ever got together than
that presented by the August Woman S
Home Companion. There are no less
than nine short stories, by such well
known authors as Julia Truitt Bishop,
Ella Higginson, Morgan Robertson, Seu.
mas MacManus, and Otho B. Senga. But
this unusual quantity of fiction has in no
wav curtailed either its departments or
special articles. Among the former, that
of fashions, by Grace Margaret Gould,
and aFor Boys and Girls" by Aunt ia
net" are found in place as usual. Mrs.
Sangster, Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. der
rick are also represented by their regular
pages, as well as Sam Lloyd, the prince OF
puzzlers. The two remarkable pages OF
stpussy-cat" pictures from photographs
mark the middle of the number. Among
the special articles are "The Americana
zation of the Holy Land" and "When the
Tornado Goes Skylarking," both striking
" illustrated. Others are 'The American
Social Invasion of England" ""Notes from
the Diary of an Employment Agent" and
ssThere Ought to Be Law" published

South CarOlina's Rural Routes.

The report of the post office department,
giving rural delivery statistics for the past
year, has just been issued, and is very in
teresting as an indication Of the way new
routes are being established all over the
United States.
In South Carolina the total number OF
petitions referred to the department were
1000, and of this number 47G were ad.
versely reported. July 1, 1904, there were
in South Carolina 331 routes in operation
and at this time there arc 416, gain OF
145. There are now pending before the
department 1873 petitions from South Car
olina asking for new routes. Ofthis num-
Der it is very probable that some will be
granted and the whole number for the
year will then be considerably aug
mented.
This rapid increase in the number Of
new routes in the country is splendid
index to what the people are doing. In
some localities, where few years ago the
people received few papers and seldom
exchanged letters, mails are now deliv-
cred once, and sometimes twice a day,
giving the rural man as good chance to
keep in touch with the world as his CITY

Death of Mr.. Jas. H. Skinner.

BARNwELL, July 24.-Mr. Jas. B. Skin
ner died at Dunbarton Saturday night
and his remains were brought here yes
terday afternoon and inferred in the
Baptist Gem metery.
The deceased was for many years
resident and merchant of this town. Be-
cause of i'll health, lung trouble, he

steadily worse until the end.
He was a member of the Baptist church
and an old and faithful Knight Of Pyth-
las.
It will be remembered that the de-

several months ago at Dunbarton; that he
was under bond and awaiting trial.
He was anxious to be tried and said he
wanted yindication. He was about AZ
years of age and leaves wife, formerly

Trouble Over an Editorial.

News has come to Columbia, via Camp
Fuller, 10 the effect that Mr. Clarence L.
Brown and Mr. G.. Marshall Moore en-
gagged in an alteration in Barnwell Mon
day. The aforesaid alteration was a
bloodless affair, and it is hoped that it
will end with the meeting Monday.
Mr.. Brown is the dispensary inspector
who suffered the misfortune to lose $4,000
recently. Mr.. Moore is the surperinten-
dent of the school at Barnwell and is also
editor of the Barnwell Sentinel, the
paper which was owned by Mr.. Brown
before he sold it to Mr.. Moore. In the
editorial columns of this paper there
appeared a paragraph commenting upon
Mr.. Browns misfortune in way
which was distasteful to the inspector,
and he demanded a retraction. The
affair happened in the principal business
part of town. Mr.. Brown, pointing to
the Objectionable paragraph, expressed

deal of force, so it is related
The witness who reports the affair says
that Brown, after making statement to
the effect that Moore had his hand in his
pocket, drew his revolver with an in
vitation to Moore to do the same thing.
A Mr.. Moody ran up about this time and
separated them. Brown put up cash bond
for SIS and forfeited his revolver to the
town of Barnwell The Barnwell Senti-
mel is the weekly paper &hich attracted
some attention few months ago by at
tacking H. H. Evans, chairman of the
dispensary board, and the editor in turn
was threatened with libel suit. 1t is
said that On account of Mr.. Moore's posi-
tive stand on public questions he is hav-
ing trouble to be reelected superintendent
of the schools. There has been deadlock
in the board for 30 days.-The State.

Rev. S. P. Chisolm held protracted
services at Spring Branch last week. Two

There is little boiling spring on Mr..

real small, but the water is very cold and
pleasant to the taste. No doubt its prop

are now such popular nealth resorts.
Protracted services are being held at
Springtown this week. Dedication exer-
cises were held there Sunday morning. A
real fitting programme was carried out,
ending with the usual collection. The
dedication sermon was preached by the
pastors (Rev. S. P. Hair brother.
MI. P. w. Sandifer, has begun to re-

We see by last weeks issue about a
cabbage snake being found by co!ored

found in this neighborhood. Mrs. VIM.

wrong in his teachings, as he is so un-
educated and has little bow and arrow

regardless of direction or target, but we
hope he made his only mistake as refer

friends and relatives were very much
surprised, but extend best wishes for their
future happiness and prosperity, hoping
there will be just enough clouds DER their
lives to cause glorious sunset.

Mr.. M0Ore's Version.

Two weeks ago Mr. Marshall Moore,
editor of the Barnwell Seutinel, had a lit
tie paragraph in his paper in reference to
the loss of $4,000 by Inspector c. L..
Brown. 1t seems that Mr.. Brown was
not pleased with the comments of the ed.
itor, and some words passed between the
two on the street. Following is Mr..
Moore's account of it, as published in the
editorial column of the Sentinel last
week:
"One G. L. Brown, whose residence is
here, but who lives mostly on the road as
a dispensary inspector, approached the
editor of this paper on the street, Monday,
and, with copy of last weeks Sentinel
in one hand and a magazine pistol in the
other, demanded of us that we "just read
what is in here" As he attempted to
pull, a friend to whom We were talking
made an attempt to grab around the
gentleman, but we asked the third party
to let him alone. If the editor of this
newspaper had been armed, he could have
shot the fellow five times, because he was
some 10 or Is seconds in getting the pis-
tol from hip pocket. Wetold Mr.. Brown
that it was not necessary to read the pa
per, as wrote and knew what it was. He
then asked with flourish Of the gun, if
we intended any insinuation upon his
personal character and integrity. We ere
piled that, as far as his personal charac-
ter and integrity goes, we knew nothing
about it, and on that account could say
nothing against it; that whenever we had
proof of anything against him We would
not only say so in The Sentinel, but would
be willing to tell him so to his face. Ha
then asked if we would be willing to say
in our paper what We had said Oh the
street. To this we replied positively that
whatever we said anywhere we would be
willing to put in our paper. We then
made it very plain to Mr.. Brown, in the
presence of the gentlemen present, that
we would have said everything that was
said had he come to US in quiet way;
that we were not afraid of any man in
South Carolina; that our paper stood for
clean government and that as far as the
loss of the $4,000 by himself goes, the
people of the State were awaiting state
ment from him. Brown, told US that he
admired our courage, but that he himself
was wounded bird. Later he Was ar
rested and is reported to have said that
he thought we were too brave to have in
formed on him. On the contrary, togeth-
er with the gentleman who was present,
we both tried to persuade the police from
making the arrest"

Death of Mr.. J. J. Shealy.

LEEsvILLE, July 21.-There has never
in this town been exhibited more
marked expression of sympathy and re-
spect than that shown yesterday in the
funeral exercises of Jno. J. Shealy.
Mr.. Shealy, who has lived in LeesVille
more years than any resident here now,
died Wednesday afternoon about 1
o'clock of Bright's disease, and was buried
yesterday from the Lutheran church at 1
o'clock, and his remains were inferred in
it's cemetery.
Mr.. Shealy was in his Goth year, and
had suffered latterly untold pain, yet
through it all, he saw the mercy of God
and the beauty of heaven.
+ No man in Leesville, perhaps, was so
universally liked as was Jno. J. Shealy,
and this was strikingly evidenced by the
attendance at his funeral. Never so large
congregation nor so general suspension
of business, every store closed enterprises
stopped, work suspended, during the ex-
ercises.
Mr. Shealy was kindly, energetic man,
faithful to his towns interests, and life
long, consistent member of the Methodist
church. The Masons performed the last
sad rites.
Mr.. Shealy, whose death is noted above,
was the father of Mr.. D. W. Shealy, of
Bamberg, and his many frienus will re-
gret to know of his bereavement. Mr.. j.
J. Shealy had visited his son here several
times, and was well known to many of our
citizens.

A Presbyterian preacher of Cleveland,
Ohio, the Rev. E. Melville Wylie, adver-
tised special sermon to base ball fans
this week. Life is ball game" he told
them from the pulpit; God is the umpire,
men the players and the world the dia-
mond." In closing he said: 'The cruel
al point in life,s game comes at the third
strike. Many do not get that many
chances and some get even more, but the
whole of the players existence may de-
pend on making hit on the third trial.
Stick to the rules as set down in the sa-
cred book. Don't play for money, nor for
mere fun; play to win, so that at the time
of the third strike the umpire may not
call YOU out"

Uneconomical Economy.

In St. Louis there is Yankee who SET
tied in the Mound City after the civil war,
and has there built up fortune OF mill
lions, says Success Magazine. The econ
omics and conservatism by which he has
accumulated his little pile have increased
with his years. Acquisition has become
a habit.
He has one son, over whose expendl-
lures he keeps careful watch. Recently
this offspring took an uptown car. The
father, who saw him board the Car, and
knew his destination, judged he had spent
his fare foolishly.
That evening after dinner, the elder
called the younger man into the library,
saying he had something to tell him. "But
first" he interrupted, rising from his
chair, "I will turn down the light; we can
talk just as we'll in the dark, and it will
save gas" He then proceeded to give
reasons why the expenditure Of the up
town car fare was unnecessary. AS he
went on to explain the value OF econ
omy, out~of the darkness where his son
sat he heard~a fumbling and shutting.
Much to his distasttss, the noise continued.
At length heated to impatience, he cried
"sam, what are you doing"
"Father," came from out of the black

For the rest of that evening economics
were not discussed.

Using Cotton Bags For Grist.

CHARLESTON, July 20.-Three cars OF
grist, 1900 sacks, arrived here yesterday
in cotton bags from the Cumberland mills
of Nashville to Wulbern s Co., this being
the first shipment ever received here in
anything but the conventional burlap
bags. The bags were made by the Royal
Bag and Yarn factory of Charleston and
the adoption of the cotton sacks is prob
ably the result of the agitation of the
matter by the Charleston merchants IN the
endeavor to promote the use of cotton.
The cotton sacks are declared to be
superior to the burlap in many respects.
