DR.. NJ. @. hendrix.

The death of DR.. NJ. Q. Hendrix,
which occurred at his home in this
place last Saturday night with small
pox, has cast gloom over our COM
munity and shrouded the homes Of
many of our people in sadness and in
mourning. DR.. Hendrix was grad
uate of Roanoke College with'honors.
he then studied medicine at Rush
Medical College in Chicago and took
special lectures on different branches
of his profession. He sRas s close
student, ripe scholar, 8 profound
physician and an eminent surgeon.
His mind was active and always in
search of deeper streams of knowl-
edge. As a physician, he was kind,
attentive and gentle, responding to
the call of the poor and lowly as
promptly and as cheerfully as he did
to those OF the well-to. do and infu-
entail. In the sick room he was
cheerful, bringing sunshine into the
darkened room and hope and con-
tentment to the sf1icted ono. No
matter how weary his physical body,
how urgent his personal necessities
for rest and nourishment, he was al
ways ready to respond to the call of
the sick and afflicted no matter the
hour day or night. As surgeon he
attained marked success and some re-
nown. He was q man OF peculiar
characteristics, was of strong preju-
dices as we'll of warm friendships:
he had his faults as we'll as his 7ir-
tues. Let US bury his faults with
his body in the bosom of mother
earth and strive to initiate his virtues.
He leaves a wife, three children
Nevins, Rosalia and Sirembs-fsther,
mother, four sisters and q brother,
beside other relatives and many
friends to shed q tear OF regret over
his departure and drop q flower
on his lonely grave. His interment
was in st. Stephens cemetery.

1sath Of Mrs. e. a. Esetze.
Mrs. Rosa Meetze, relict of Major
H. A. Meetze, died at her home near
the depot, last Friday evening with
pneumonia. Mrs. Meetze was visit
ing her daughter, Miss pAns, who is
teaching school in Sumter Co., when
she contracted the disease that finally
terminated fatally. She had been .
a great sufferer for years with as5he-
ma and doubtless this complication
had it's influence in fastening her de-
mise. Before her marriage she was
Miss BeDiamin and was long q resi-
dent of this place. She took an &C.
tive and prominent part in the social
and religious life of the town and
community and by her gentleness,
her kindness and her sociability
she gathered around her large circle
of friends from every walk OF life
and whose friendship she retained
until death severed the golden chords
Of love that bound her to them. At
the time of her death Mrs. Meetze
was in the 70sh year of her age and
was preceded to the grave by her
husband something over year ago.
OF her immediate family there sur
zives her three daughters and one
son, as follows: Mrs. Mary Muller,
Mrs. Florence Caughman and Miss
TAns, of this place and Mr.. Henry
A. Meetze, cashier OF the Bank of
Leesville; two sisters and one brother,
Miss Lsura Benjamin, of this place,
Mrs. Elkins, of Columbia, and MIR.
S Woodbury. of Savannah, Ga,
together with other relatives and
friends. The interment was on the
family square in st. Stephens Gem
eter7, the beautiful burial service of
the Episcopal Church, of which she
was a member, was read by The rec
tor of Trinity, of Columbia.

pose of comparing it with the writing
on the paper which Mrs. Chadwick

Mr.. Carnegie wrote for Mr.. Kee1er
and the signature which was treputed
TO be his on the bank paper was
marked. s5 A.
A second purpose of the visit to Mr.
Carnegie was to learn if Mr.. Carnegie
