we're attacks, due to enfeebled heart &C.
tion and hardening of the arteries. Al.
though only in his Goth year, the prodi'
gious volume Of work he performed as
the mission Bishop of Methodism," had
greatly weakened his once powerful ply
sique, and he was in no condition to
withstand the lung congestion that
caused his death.
The passing away of the foremost
bishop in Methodism was quiet and
peaceful. There were no death agonies,
no suffering, no anguish of flesh or spir.
1t while the sands Of his life slowly
sbbed away. Save for the labored
breathing incident to the pulmonary
trouble that was the direct aus Of de-
mise, he dropped into eternal slumber
like q little child crooned to sleep by the
lullabies of a loving mother.
Until toward 3 o'clock Wednesday
morning the grieving loved ones and
anxious watchers at the bedside could
observe nc perceptible change in his con-
dition. At that hour the breathing
grew more irregular, the pulse slowly
ebbed away, and at the hour Of 5 o'clock,
just as the sun was peeping over the
horizon to illumine with its brightest
rays a community plunged into the dark
est depths of grief and gloom, the soul
Of Charles B. Galloway winged its flight
to the God who gave it.

Bishop Galloway Nc More

tions as easily as he achieved distinction
in the ranks of the Christian ministry.
In 1868, soon after his graduation, he
entered the Mississippi conference, in
which utilization he remained until ele.
waited to the higher office of the episco.
pacy. His devotion to his native state
was a passion, and yet he was perhaps
the most cosmopolitan and national spir.
tied man to be found in all the South.
He was the close friend and counsellor
Of many public men in his W state and
the nation, and also of all parties. Elk.
President Roosevelt was a great ad.
mirer of the bishop, and sought his ad.
vice in more than one instance where his
policies affected the well-being of the
people of the South.
Bishop Galloway's home life was hap.
py and beautiful. He was married in
1869 to Miss Hattie E. Willis, of Vicks.

Rice Grower. See Salt Water.

Crowley.-The salt water situation
on the Mermentau is daily growing
more serious. The fresh water in
the Mermentau and its tributaries is
getting lower and lower, while the
current in the Mermentau above Lake
Arthur is now flowing upstream. The
pumps are rapidly lowering the wa.
ter on the upper Mermentau. Moth
ing prevents the salt water from en-.
tering the Mermentau and flowing up
the river to replace the fresh water
drawn out. Unless rain comes 1t is
altogether likely that it is a matter
Of only a short time when salt water
will reach the upper Mermentau and
the pumps will have 20 stop or lift
salt water.

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
At Every Stage Of It He Was Z Bril-.
liant Man.

Bishop Charles Belts Galloway, one
Of the general superintendent Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was
born in Kosciusko, Miss, Sept. /, 1s49.
His father was q prosperous physician
and q man Of taste aud culture. The
son was tsnderly reared and early i'm
bibed clear and strong religious convic.
tions and followed high purposes and
ideals. After attending the common
schools he graduated with distinction
from the University Of Mississippi. He
vas then scarcely 10 years of age, and
had even before this begun preparation
for entrance into the Christian ministry,
which high office he had long adorned
with an almost unexampled devotion Of
service and eloquence Of message. Even
at this early age he gave evidence Of
remarkable gifts as an orator. One Of
his professors at the University Of Mis-.
sissippi was the late Associate Justice
#. r.
Lamar of the supreme court Of the Unit.
ed States. When young Galloway was
leaving his alma mater the great jurist
said;
"'Charley, I and others are glad to
learn that you are to enter the minis
try; some Of us would like to 20 to con-
AH
gress from this district"
The t~ranscendent powers Of the bishop,
~ afterwards displayed before great au-
diences in both the Old and the New
World, showed that his early preceptor
had not underestimated the possibilities
Of his career. As a public leader he
would haye gone to the highest civic sta
