MAJ. e. R. HAYS DEAD.
A Gallant Soldier and Public.spirited Citizen
Goes to Rest After Months Of Suffering.

A Gallant Soldier and Public.spirited Citizen
Goes to Rest After Months Of Suffering.
Maj. E. R. Hays is dead. This simple
announcement will bring genuine grief
to many people in Bamberg and sur
rounding counties, for his circle of friends
and acquaintances was large, and all ad-
mired and respected the man for his
great worth.
The end came peacefully at his resi-.
dence in this city last Monday morning
about eleven o'clock, after months Of suf.
fering. Last spring the death of his life
long friend and companion, Gen. F. NJ.
Bamberg, had very depressing effect on
him, and few weeks later, after trip
to Florida, he was taken sick. For some
time he thought lightly of it, and kept
up and going about, but it was not long
before he was forced to take his bed,
from which he never arose. For months
he has lain there, getting weaker each
day, but fighting the battle bravely, as
he met the problems oflife. For months
he had realized that he could not recover
yet he did not murmur or complain. Like
the brave, true man he was, he calmly
awaited the summons to come up higher
When the final summons came, his strong
will kept his mind clear, and he was
conscious almost to the last breath. Al
though his body was weakened by months
Of suffering, his mind was active, and hi.
soul went Quit meet its God unafraii
and with confidence that all was well.
The funeral took place at the residence
yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and il
was largely attended, many being her,
from distance to pay their tribute o.
respect to one whom they had known
and honored in life. Many colored peo
pie were also present, for he was chari-
table and friendly to all. The fora

AGENTS PUSH REALTY DEAL
Syndicate Still Seeking Titles to
Seventh Street Ground.
Failure to Get BACK Property Turns
Intention to North square.

Efforts have been renewed during the
week 10 secure options upon the sausr.
bounded by Seventh. *. and sixth streets

tention 10 the deal. which included the
property in that square and the one to the
south fronting on Massachusetts ave

This week the operations Of those work
ing the deal have been confined 10 get
ting control Of the property in the north
square They have announced To inter-
ested parties that having failed to get
the consent OF the Home Savings Bank
and one or TWO other owners in the south
square to sell. they have abandoned the
plan Of buying that square and have con-
centrated their efforts TO get possession
of the other
Il was said by one OF the property
holders who had been holding out tor tho
payment for improvements on his lot
that the option hunters had acceded to
his terms and the option had been
signed
The persons engineering the deal called
upon another property holder I'm the
square, a woman who has declined 10
sell because she wishes to retain her
home of many years. IN her case they
presented the necessary papers for a
bona fide sale. with the money in hand
TO pay for the property on the basis q
81 foot. The owner declined TO sell and
named double the figure. The agents
were unable to act without first consult
ing with their principals. and so the deal
for that parcel was temporarily post
poned.
II was said that the sale Of the north
west corner property, at Sixth and X
streets, during the week had partially
upset the plans Of the syndicate seeking
10 buy the square. Agents. however, are
negotiating with the new purchaser with
view to taking over the property.
