The Confederate Monument.

Editor Bamberg erald-Dear Sir:
You asked in last weeks Herald
what had become of the Confederate
monument movement. You may
remember that about one year ago, a
committee of some ten or fifteen per-
sons, distributed all over the county,
to solicit subscriptions was appointed
and urged to 60 to work. Our COM
mittee in Bamberg went to work at
once and succeeded in getting sub
scribed about twelve hundred dollars.
The other committees have not re-
ported as much as fifty dollars.
If we had about eight hundred
dollars more we could erect hand
some monument, but we cannot get
any more from this town and unless
the balance of the county furnishes
the additional eight hundred dollars
the monument must fall through.
Yours truly, H. J. BRABHAM.

Death of Capt w. e. Sease.

Capt. w. E. Sease, a well-known
citizen of this county, died at his
home in the Ehrhardt section last
Friday. He had been in bad health
for many months, and his death was
not a surprise to those who knew OF
his condition. He was in his seventy:
first year, and leaves a widow and
several children, all grown. He
was born and reared at the place
where he died, this plantation having
been in possession of members OF
his family for more than one hun:
dred years. .,
The funeral services and burial
were at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran
church, of which he was a member,
Sunday morning, the sermon being
preached by Rev. P. E. Monroe, the
pastor. Capt. Sease's popularity was
we'll attested by the presence OF 9
great throng, the church being filled
and many being on the outside un-
able to get in.
After the services by Mr.. Monroe,
the body was buried with Masonic
honors by his brethren of Buford
Lodge of Jenny, Capt. Sease having
been a former Master of the lodge
and a life member Of the same.
Capt. Sease was well-known and
popular in this and Barnwell coun.
ties. Just after Bamberg county
was formed, he served several terms
as Auditor. He had a smile and a
kind word for every one, and his
genial manner and warm hearted
cleverness endeared him to large
circle of friends.
