Base BAN.
BATES % 6; PARIS h. 8. 8.

Paris high met it's first defeat of the
season In it's game with Bates second at
Lewiston Saturday. Although defeated
Paris was by no means outolassed and 1t
was not until two men were out 10 the
ninth inning that the Bates team was
able to put across the plate the run that
gave them the game. Paris secured all
their runs in the first inning, and al
though Bates tied the score In the
seventh they never went into the lead
until the very last moment. Paris
played better fielding game than the
home team but the few errors they did
make were very costly.
Two former Paris high men, Rawson
and Witham, were on the Bates team.

AFAITHFUL SERVANT.
Harvey McClam, Ante-Bellum
Seryitor, Passes Away.

1 muLludy dlISlHOOil az I"o NioSF
there was laid to rest one of the
tr'uest and most loyal citizens OF
the town of Kingstree, Harvey Nc
Clam, one of the few remaining
members of that class known a:
ante-bellum darkies."
He died Sunday morning at sever
o'clock at his home on the Single
ton plantation, where he had lived
for more than twenty years. Hi:
mother was one of the Singleton
saves, and at the age of five years,
! little Harvey, after falling in the fire
and receiving a severe burn, the scar
of which he bore to his dying day,
was taken by his mistress, Mrs DR.
James Brockington, formerly Miss
,, Virginia Singleton. and reared in her
yard, the inseparable companion of
her children. When freedom came
he had NC other thought than to
sray on with his friends and bene-
factors, and when Miss Louise Brock
ington was married to Mr. T M Gil
land, member of the local bar, in
April, 18TH went with her to her
home at the old Scott place. During
the thirty-six years that have elapsed
since then, he has served the Gilland
family with practically no break in
the connection. In their childhood
he nursed the children with the ten
derness and care of a father, and as
they reached the years of maturity,
he served them equally as faithfully
in any capacity needed. There
never was better cook and, though
small of stature, few could manage
the spirited pair of horses kept by
Mr. Gilland with the skill and ease
that Harvey showed. In latter days
since the servant problem has be-
come so serious, he was indeed all in
all to the family, doing what he saw
needed to be done, not because he
was hired servant, but because it
was his pride and joy to preserve
the home-life and comfort of his be-
loved family. During the fifteen
years that the head of that family
has been paralysed, Harvey has been
his body servant in addition to his
other duties, and never was service
more lovingly and faithfully render
ed. Day or night it was matter
of no Importance to this loyal servi-
tor, if he was needed at the house. -
His last illness was brief, though
he had begun to fail for some time
previous. He was not an old man
the year of his birth being 1851. He
is survived by his wife, two daugh-
ters and five sons.
The funeral services were held at
M E church, colored, and were at
tended by great crowd of colored
people and not a few white friends,
who were glad to be able to pay this
last respect to such a noble charac-
ter as was Harvey McClam.
He was borne to his last resting
place by those whom he had loved
and served from childhood and who
carried the remaining dust of their
old friend solemnly and respectfully
with uncovered heads and saddened
faces. They were: Messrs Louis.
bessie and Wilmot Gilland, Hugh
McCutchen. Edwin Hirsch and Otis
Arrowsmith.
He was buried in the colored cem'
etary, just across the road from the
burying ground of those whom he
served so long.
Truly it may be said of him, We'll
done, thou good and faithful SER
want. Enter thou into the joy OF
thy Lord"

A TRIED And
PROVED GUARANTEE.
Man BOUGHT a Bottle OF DOdSOn'S Liver
Tone, Then Took II Back and Ask
ed For His Money and Got II.

A man recently tried out the guar
antee which O H Patrick gives with
every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone.
He bought a bottle and then went
back to the drug store and said the
medicine hadn't helped him.
This druggist just reached into his
cash register and took out half dol
lar, the price of the bottle of Liver
Tone, and handed it back to the gen.
tleman. But he didn't take the mon
ey. He owned up that he was just
trying the guarantee and, as mat
ter of fact, he had found Dodson's
Liver Tone the best remedy forcon-
stipation and biliousness he had ev::
er tried. Why" he said, my wife
wouldn't be. without a bottle in the
house for anything. It's the best
thing in the world for the whole
family, and the medicine that | pre-
fer to take or to give to my children
for a lazy liver"
OH Patrick sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it to start the
liver without violence. It's taking the
place of calomel everywhere. If you
buy bottle and don't find this pleas
ant-tasting vegetable liquid the.best
thing to start a lazy liver, he will
hand your money back with a smile.

Rocky Mount, N C, Wednesday to
see Dummy" McFadden, who is in
the A CL R R Co.'S hospital at that
place on account of injuries received
when struck by a freight train near
the crossing here several weeks ago.
The negro is said to be getting along
very we'll but cannot be made to un-
derstand his condition by the hospi-
tai authorities, who think him crazy.
1t is probable that Dummy" will
be brought back to Kingstree by his
white friends, who will take care of
him to better advantage, from the
fact that they can converse with him
by signs and gestures. The darkey
is uneducated in the deaf and dumb
language.
