Miss Downs, with another girl, was
out in the mill yard and tried to step
over the power shaft. To prevent such
accidents the way had been barred,
but she tried to crawl under the bars
and over the shaft.
Don't do that" cried her Mortified
companion.
"Oh, I'VE done that lots of times"
she is alleged to have replied, but her
dress caught on the shaft and in an
instant she was whiried to death. Be-
sides a fractured skull, her arm and

NV Friend and Conrade S. H. Bradham.

MIR. Editor:--You will kindly give
me space in the Columns Of The Man
ming Times to express a word OF tribute
to the memory Of my brother, comrade
and dearest of friends, Sam Il. Brad
ham.
How sad to my heart. when on last
Saturday passing to toreston, 1t was
told to me for the first time that my
friend vas dead. How crushing the
blow, how hard to realize. At once,
somehow, when this saddest of news
was broken to me, just felt that my
own emotions would have received
greater satisfaction if I could have
been present before he died, and catch
one more word and heard his cheerful
voice again, and the familiar salutatlon
on meeting, "Brother Meyers. how are
YOU, now glad I am to see you" or
even as much, if could have seen the
new made grave, and their silently re-
call his many noble virtues, and re-
count my loss and that of MS very
many friends. Can it be, that my friend
is dead? Can it be that | shall never
more meet him in the home, at church,
on the street, and by the way! Never
shall forget our last meeting together
at the reunion of Confederate Veterans
in Columbia last May, and the pleasant
exchanges of "reminiscences over the
blest-days gone by. Never shall | for
get that warm, double hand shake he
gave me then, amidst the throng OF
Veterans standing around, and whose
attention was drawn to our meeting by
the expression: And there is brother
Mevers! the best friend l have on
earth. shall shake his hand, if no
other.'' How dear to our memory are
such scenes and incidents as these,
these blest associations, how they do
cluster around our hearts and live with
us. until we too are dead. l never
knew a man whom liked and esteemed
better than he. Indeed, he was an ideal
| friend. A more honest man never
lived, and bigger soul never lnhab-
tied the body of man. Broad, generous,
liberal hearted was he, magnanlmous,
and truly tender responsive spirit to
every appeal of charity and suffering.
A GOOD neighbor, friend, citizen, Chris
rian, and loved his church and God so
we'll. A brave soldier and veteran OF

miss him everywhere, on his farm, at
church, at the neighbor's house, on the
streets and in the stores OF his native
town. He has passed over the river
:. resting under the shade OF the trees.
Goodbye, my friend: my brother
my comrade, goodbye. It'll we meet
again on the golden shore of that ialrel
region, on the great camp grounds, o
an eternal reunion, then Eve shall see
