Death of Mr.. j. Bennett Steele.

A pail of sadness fell upon Kings
tree Friday afternoon about 6
o'clock, when the announcement Of
the death of Mr. James Bennett
Steele, clerk and treasurer of the
town council, reached here from
Charleston. For several days Mr.
Steele had suffered from an attack
of grip and his physical condition
was poor when he was taken to
Charleston last Thursday.
1t seems that case of appended
tbs had developed and an immediate
operation was necessary. He was
taken to an infrmary at Charleston,
where the operation was successful
ly performed, but owing to the fee
BILE state of his health it was more
than he could survive and he died at
6 o'clock Friday from complication
of troubles.
Mr. Steele was a native of Kings
tree and was45 years of age. He was
son of the late Capt j j Steele, Jr.
He was an expert bookkeeper and one
of the towns most valued citizens.
He was a member of the Steele Sales
company and of the Steele Furniture
company. which he recently purchas-
ed of Mr. M H Jacobs. His services
were frequently in demand by the
business concerns of Kingstree as an
expert accountant. He was conceded
to be the best penman in the COM
munity.
Mr. Steele leaves a wife, four
charming children and the following
brothers and sisters to mourn his
loss: Mrs J A Scott and Mr. Walter
Steele of Kingstree, Messrs Brecius
and Clarence Steele of Bingham,
Mrs jamie Miller of Georgia and Mrs
G NJ Gaillard of Columbia, besides
host of friends.
His remains were brought to
Kingstree Saturday morning on train
No 80 and funeral services were held
at his late residence on East Main
street Sunday morning, Revs D A
Phillips and w E Hurt officiating.
Interment was made in Williams
burg cemetery in the presence Of a

Later on it determined that it would

Berkeley county has asked for au-

proceeds on permanent road work in
that county.

will probably consider the Sinkler

Warehouse system Attacked
State Insane Hospital.

Warehouse system Attacked
!. State Insane Hospital.
Columbia, February 12:-Local
uncontested bills occupied the first
hours of the Senate this morning,
The bill in behalf of the State
warehouse commission, introduced
by Senators Banks and Evans, re-
ceiyed its first severe jolt this morn
ing by an amendment introduced by
Senator Lee, to the effect that after
the lst of September, 1915. the
duties of the Office of State Ware
house Commissioner shall devolve
upon the Commissioned Agriculture
without extra compensation. Sen
ator Banks began speech in op-
position to the bill only to be inter-
rupted by the fact that tlme nao
arrived to go to the House for the
purpose of ratifying acts.
Senator Banks hoped the amend
ment would fail. In his opinion.
the State warehouse system had
been and would be of great beneflt
to the people, especially the farmers,
of the State. He told of his per-
sonal experience with the State
warehouse system and said he was
enabled to effect considerable saving.
Senator Lee spoke in favor of his
amendment. He wanted to repeal
the law creating the system. but If
the system was to be continued then
the thing to do was to abolish the
Office of Commissioner and let the
Commissioner of Agriculture do the
work.
Senator Carlisle, of Spartanburg.
said that he was not aware of any
demand for this warehouse system
anywhere in the Piedmont section,
and he knew there was practically
none in Spartanburg county. He
was glad to see that there was OBJ
lection to it in the Pee Dee section.
He did not believe it was the func-
ton of the State to 60 into this cot
ton warehousing business. He had
rather have cotton in a bonded ware
house, privately owned and man
aged, any time than in State-own-
ed and controlled warehouse. In
his opinion foreign cotton buyers
would look askance at the State GER
tificates. The Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture would have time with his
clerical staff to attend to the work.
He might have to curtail some of
his whirlwipd grain-sowing cam
paigns some time, but his office
could handle the work.
The Sepetespyened this after
noon at 4 o clock. .Ae bill by Sen
ator Patterson, prescribing the du-
ties of the superintendent of the
State Hospital for Insane, providing
for an assistant superintendent, a
board of visitors, and fixing their
compensation, was given third read
ing and sent to the House. The
Joint resolution, by Senator Chris
tensen, submitting a constitutional
amendment to provide for the ap-
pointment of the board of regents
of the Hospital for the Insane. the
board to elect the superintendent,
was passed to third reading hy a
vote of 30 to 2.
