In the early barbarc times the bodies of
the dead were often left where they had

There were no special sanitary reasons
why their treatment should be otherwise
Later some threw the bodies into the sea,
and thought by so doing they had gotten
rid of both ghost and body Others threw
them into the river or exposed them in
such a manner that they would be de-

other cases the hair was first pucked from
the top OF the head, in order as they pro-
fessed to believe to facilitate the trans
migration of the soul. Then the body was
cut into pieces and the bones broken into
fragments by men who made such work

II YOU could see the slain upon the bat
tlefield gathered like dead wood and
buried in shallow trenches, or look into one
of the three hundred and sixty-five pits
that open in turn, one each day, to receive
the pauper dead OF Naples; if you could see

could see the dogs of Constantinople make

sive. hideouS sights, your mind would ever
afterward revolt against earth burial, the
slow decomposition of the human remains.
Cremation offers a reverent and offense-
less method for the disposition of our dead.
1t is consistent with the tenderest senti-
ments OF human love, with the require
ments of science, the teachings of religion
and with the highest culture and wisdom
of the times.
Cremation brings comfort to the living;
by cremation the body can escape the cor
ruption of the grave, which subject brings
to our minds visions most horrible.
That which is corruptible should be
made incorruptible by the purifying pro-
cess of fire-by the cremation of our dead
and the placing of their ashes in the column
barium, or the scattering of them where
the roses diffuse their perfume.

where church. state and ignorance lie i'll
the same cradle. Russia. Spain, Turkey
and the South American countries all bury
their dead.
1t is not my intention 10 censurc any
religious denomination on account OF IL
attitude toward cremation. The task OF
the Church seems TO be the saving OF souls
a subject on which we have no advice 20
offer: but in our useful mission we claim
that science has taught us the best way OF
reducing the human body TO an innocuous
element, and hope some day--perhaps long
hence posterity will recognize the value
OF our efforts and accord to Our memory
the tribute withheld tbs in life. Il is certain
that il those we call dead still live. they do
not live in the grave. and they have n
more connection with the heap OF earth in
the coffin than with the dust that whirls
through the streets.

Benson, March 30:-The balmy
days of the past week have caused
our farmers to go earnestly to work
planting some crops and making
preparation for planting others.

Good Friday evening was very
pleasantly spent by the young folks
at the homes of the following:Messrs
Ransom Cantley, Mike Tisdale and
J B Chandler. Easter eggs were in
abundance, and picking eggs was
eagerly enjoyed by the many boys
and girls. Sunday was very quietly
spent, there being no service at any
of the places of worship except at
the Baptist church in the afternoon,
where services were held by Rev W
E Hurt of Kingstree.
Mr. John A QUITS, formerly OF
Greenwood, but who is at present a
machinist in the railroad shops at
Macon, Ga, visited his sister, Miss
Violina QUITS, principal of the Ben

remaining until Monday.
Mr. Mcdowell McCrea is quite i'll

Bill McClary, the Cedar Swamp
niger, is coming into notoriety.
Last week six gallons of booze'were
shipped to Kingstree in his name
(that he claims he did not order but

A Rare Treat.

The pipe organ recital given at the
M E. church on Monday evening
under the auspices of the Dorcas society
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large
audience in attendance. Prof. Frank
w. Van Dusen Of Chicago, well known
to us all, rendered a number Of selec
tions by the best composers. His thor
ough knowledge of the instrument
coupled with genuine musical feeling
makes his playing very effective. The
vocal solos by Miss .Abbie Parmley
were exceptionally well rendered, and
the readings by Mrs. J. F. Hendra
were as they always. are, a delight to
the audience. The receipts of the re-
cital were 500.
