Promient Citizen Of Manning Passes
Away December 5th.

Last night Dr. w. E. Brown pass

DR.. Brown had long been a sufferer,
but with a will power which was
almost marvellous he resisted the in
roads Of a disease that was inevitable.
DR.. Brown, friend physician and
gentleman, was the oldest physician
in point Of service in Clarendon coun-

and deep regret throughout the coun-

esteemed and whom the sick and
suffering in mind always found
sympathetic friend and adviser. OF
a genial nature he won and retained
hosts of friends who will deplore the
loss of this physician who went about
doing good"
This writer feels as if he has sustain
ed personal loss. for when sick and
depressed and almost an inyalid. he
passed pleasant hours ia the com.
pahy sof this cbeerful. eSsiniistic ano Il
sincere friend, and later when re-
stored to health and with renewed
energy his business relations were SO
pleasant and agreeable.
DR.. Brown was in his 5Oth year and
leaves surviving hif his wife, the
former Miss Rca Scott, and three
lovely little girls and a son. Mr.. Will
son Brown, by a former marriage.
Besides being a practicing physi-
clan, DR.. Brown was a man of af-
fairs. He was a director in the bank
Of Manning and a former mayor of
the town. He had been for years
medical examiner of some of the lead
ing life insurance companies of the
United States.
He was we'll known in old Williams
burg and has relatives and many
friends in Florence.

SMALL BOY RUNS AWAY.
Willie Moral Decides to Leave Home
and Comes TO Sumter, But Later
Decides TO Go Back.

illie Henry Moral, a small white
boy Of about IA Yeas of age, de-
cided last week that h. had rather be
somewhere else than in Darlington,
so taking along what money he had
he left town some time last week and
came to Sumter. He said that he did
not go farther because he did not
have sufficient money.
He stopped in Sumter a day or two
and then, because he did not have
any work and his money was fast
giving out, he left Sumter and went
to Silver where he stayed a couple of
days. Deciding that Silver was too
dull a place to stay in, he came back
to Sumter where he says he worked
for couple Of days for a beer bot
Ting plant, or something Of the sort.
He decided that this job did not suit
him SO he gave it up and started out
to find something else to do. Failing
in this after several days effort he
decided to leave Sumter and go to
Charleston. He got on the train and
by fibbing to the conductor and keep
ing out Of his way as much as pos
sible he managed to get as far as
Lanes where a gentleman who knew
him found him on the train and
brought him back to Sumter. AS
soon as he was let loose in the town
Wednesday evening he set out to
search for something to eat.
He finally appealed to clerk in a
fruit store and told him his trouble,
that he was out of money, out Of a
job, had nothing to eat and wanted
to get home. This gentleman gave
him something to eat then turned
him over to the police who took care
of him last night. He was thorough
ly sick Of running away by that time
and he asked them to send word
home to his adopted father, Mr.. ]. Nj.
Spear, of Darlington, where he was
and please ito come for him or to send
him some money to come home on
Mr.. Spears sent some one over from
Darlington this morning. to take him
IN charge and Willie was the happiest
|tof boys to be taken home and ! estor-
ed to the care of his adopted father
once more.
When asked why he ran away he
said that he was just tired of staying
at home, that there was no other
reason for his doing so, than that he
just wanted to go somewhere.
This is not the first time that he
has run away, for before he went off
TO Rocky Mount and Charlotte, and
found it a great picnic and he said
that he thought he would find 1t so
again but this time he did not have
sufficient money in his pocket when
he left home and he had a dreadful
time; he was extremely sorry that
much both from the cold and from
hunger during this trip and he swas
determined that if he got home once
more he would never run away again.
He said that he appreciated home as
he had never done before and no boy
knows what his home is until he has
run away and found out what it is
to be cold and hungry and without a
friend to care for or speak to him.

Andrew Carnegie Gives Money TO
icabfe Settlement Of all Difficulties.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Surrounded
by twenty-seven trustees of his choos-
ing, comprising former Cabinet men,
bers. exam mbassadors, college presi-
dents, lawyers and educators, Andrew
Carnegie today transferred $10,OO0,-
600 in 5 per cent mortgage bonds
valued at S11, 100000, to be devoted
primarily to the establishment of uni
versal peace by the abolition of war
between nations and such friction as
may impair the progress and happi.

When war between nations shall
have ceased the fund is to be applied
TO such altruistic purposes as viii
best help man in his glorious ascent
onward and upward" by the banish-
ment Of the most degrading evil or
evils" then harrassing mankind
AS Mr.. Carnegie read an INFORMAL
deed Of trust announcing at length
the general purpose of his gift, there
was prolonged applause. He then ex-
planned the incidents which inspired
the giving Of the money at this time
and declared with emphasis that #
the English speaking race in the Uni
ted States and Great Britain once
consolidated in the movement for in
ternational peace the success Of the
measure in the rest of the world
would be assured. That Great Brit
ain stood ready to cooperate with
this country, Mr.. Carnegie said he
felt certain, and all that was now
needed, he added, was the concur
renee Of the President and the Senate
in promulgating the movement on be-
half of the United States.
A resolution Of thanks was pre-
sented by JOS H. Choate, former
United States Ambassador to Great
Britain, which was adopted, and
John r. cadawaladsr OF New York,
proposed that Committee of seven
be appointed to consider the subject
Of the organization Of the body of
trustees, the form Of charter to be
obtained and other details Of organ
ization. This was likewise adopted.
Senator Elihu Root of New York,
was unanimously elected permanent
chairman, and James Barry Scott,
solicitor of the State department,
was chosen permanent secretary OF
the board Of trustees until a more
definite organization shall have been
effected.
Mr.. Carnegie declined to be inciud-
ed in the future organization Of the
board of trutsees.
Exactly what purpose will be serv-
ed by the gift none Of the trustees
could say as the whole project has
been brought forward under the most
general terms, leaving wide discretion
to the trustees.
1t is known that Mr.. Carnegie will
explain further the purposes of his
gift at the opening session OF the
American Society for the Judicial
Settlement Of International Disputes,
which will be held tomorrow night
His subject will be the moral issue
Of war"
