Death of DR.. B. D. Bronson.

DR.. B. D. Bronson died at his home in
this city last Saturday night about ten
O'Clock, after long illness. He was forty
seven years old, and leaves wife and two
children. The burial took place Sunday
afternoon at Restland cemetery, the ser
vices being attended by large number of
friends and relatives of the family. Rev.
T. G. Herbert conducted the services, and
Rev. S. w. Danner pronounced the bene-
diction. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful the grave being literally
covered with flowers. The pail bearers
were: DR.. ]. B. Black, J. D. Copeland, ST.,
c. R. Brabham, ST., H. c. Folk, Dr. ].
Cleckley, and Jno. H. Cope.
Dr.. Bronson was born in Orangeburg
county. near Cope, and lived there for q
number of years. He was married to Miss
Stella Kittrell. About twelve years ago he
moved to Bamberg, where he practiced
his profession and ran drug store. Two
years ago he moved to Ninety-Six, Green
wood county, but soon after his health
broke down and he went to Colorado
while his family returned to Bamberg.
His condition improved after several
months, and last summer he came home,
but he grew worse and went to Arizona
last fall. The climate did him no good
on this visit, and as he grew steadily worse
there, be returned home to end his last
days with his family and friends. He grew
weaker day by day until the end came.
Though tenderly and devotedly nursed by
his wife and mother and skilfu1ly attend
ed by his brother physicians, nothing
could be done to arrest the fatal disease
which had attacked him. It was our plea
sure and privilege to know DR.. Bronson
well. He was good man, and in our
home as our family physician, he was as
gentle as woman and as faithful as pos
sible. DR.. Bronson did. not parade his
virtues or his good deeds, but he alwaysdid
what he conceived to be his duty to his
God and his fellow-man and said nothing
about it. He was Mason and Knight
of Pythias, and had been member of
the Methodist church for many years, be-
ing member of the board of stewards of
the church here until he moved to Nine
ty-Six. He bore his sufferings with
Christian fortitude, and through all his
sickness he did not murmur nor complain
He knew he could not recover, and pa
tiently awaited the final summons. As a
physician and citizen he was loved and
and his manX friends are sad
over his death.

jEdRO PREACHER SHOT.
ArreAd Near Branchville by Negro
Detective.

Tuesd, night of last week a negro
named BW. Williams brought another
negro nar.d James Jefferson to Bam-
berg and llged him in Jail. Jefferson
was serious wounded, having been shot
by William with a pistol. Williams
claimed thaeJeferson was a fugitive
from justice alabama, being charged
with murder iithat State.
Jefferson Wa shot in the abdomen,
and was attende by DR.. H. F. Hoover,
the county physian, but he died last
Saturday morninabout seven o'clock.
AS soon as William heard of Jefferson's
death came in an surrendered to the
sheriff, was put in jil and the sheriff of
Orangeburg county btifed, who sent a
deputy for him last 1onday. He was
carried to Orangeburg nd placed in jail
to await trial at the M term of court
in that county.
The story of the affair that Williams
claims to be a detective. .e lives in the
Hunters Chapel section otthis county,
near Branchville. He sayshe is a de-
tective, and saw an advertiseaent offer.
ing reward of $500 for escaped
criminal from Alabama, and rom the
description he spotted the Rev. efferson
as the man. Jefferson lives in ,range-
burg county, near Branchville, ad had
lived there for a number Of years We
understand that he never went any
where except to church without run,
and it was concluded that he was a,,es-
perate character.
Williams went to Magistrate Zeiglr
at Hunters Chapel and got Warrant
for Jefferson, which he had endorsed b!
the magistrate at Branchville, and then
accompanied by Quillie Drawdy, awhit'
man, went to Jefferson's house to ar
rest him. He called Jefferson out of hi
house, and when he attempted to make
the arrest Jefferson resisted and he drew
his pistol. In the scuffle over the weap
on it was discharged, the bullet taking
effect as above stated. Williams is con
fdent that he will be acquitted wher
tried, as he says he was only doing hiE
duty when Jefferson was shot.
On the other hand Jefferson and his
wife testified that he was called out o1
his house to the buggy, and when he
came out, Williams pointed the pistol at
him and shot him without any words.
Jefferson's wife came here and nurseo
him in jail until he died. Coroner Zeig-
Ter held an inquest Saturday, and the
body was carried back to Branchville
for burial.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps US

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day, When healthy
they remove about 500 grains OF impure
matter daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter Is left IN the blood.
This brings on many diseases and symp-s
