profound pleasure that this popular
young man is gradually improving
in health.
Doc" has doubtless had a tosgh
time of it. He told the writer yes

had been on the very brink" and
that all along he had had tofight for
what he has, and that he was still
fighting to get we'll and to rid his
system of the poisonous corpuscles
that in some way, and at some time,
invaded his body and polluted his
blood through contact with patient
in the course of his professional
practice as a dentist. His trouble
has not been of a pulmonary nature,
as reported.
We were delighted beyond express
sion to see our young friend looking
as we'll as he does, after the siege he
has gone through, and to note the
cheerful, hopeful spirit that pervades
his being.

AN AWFUL DEATH.
Guard at Trestle Near Kingstree Killed
by Train Monday Morning.

Guard at Trestle Near Kingstree Killed
by Train Monday Morning.
His comrades and the people of
Kingstree and vicinity were griev-
ously shocked monday morning
when they learned that Private Gil.
land Hall, of near Camden,a member
of Company M, First South Carolina
regiment. had been found dead at
his post of duty about a o'clock that
morning.
Young Hall was one of squad
detached here temporarily to guard
the A C L trestle spanning Black
river Just south of town. He with a
companion attended service at the
Presbyterian church Sunday night
and, returning to camp, went on post
at midnight at the north end of the
trestle.
When the next man on duty came
up to relieve Hall he found the life.
less body lying on its back partly in
a fire and partly on the track, one
foot crushed by the car wheels and
the face shoulder and one arm bad
Iy burned by the fire into which the
young soldier had fallen when struck
by the passing train.
At first it was thought that Hall
had fallen asleep on the side of the
track and had been struck by the
engine, but this theory passed out of
the minds of the people as closer
investigation was made as to the po-
sition of the dead body, the cuts
and bruises on it and the record of
the young man as a soldier. There
is no doubt as to his death being
caused by the train. but as to just
how the young man was struck by it.
no one knows. One theory is that
he was standing by the fire with his
gun across his shoulder and the
train struck the muzzle of the gun,
knocking him senseless into the fire.
Another is that a loose hanging car
door of a rapidly passing freight
train struck him. Of the two
theories the one of the gun seems
most probable because the gun was
damaged.
Monday morning the body was
brought to Kingstree and prepared
for burial by the Kingstree Hard
ware Co. That evening the remains
were escorted to the depot by the
Boy Scouts and sent to Camden.
The floral offerings by the Boy Scouts
were numerous and beautiful.
Gilland Hall, it is said, was an
exemplary young man, and enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of the
officers and fellow privates of his
company.

SOUL-STIRRING SERVICES
Still Going on at Presbyterian Church.
Great Interest Manifested.

The people of Kingstree and sur
rounding community are still enjoy
ing a rare spiritual feast in the evan
gelistic services at the Presbyterian
church. Two services are held daily
except Saturday, at 1870 a. m. and
500 p. M. and three on Sunday, at
HOO a. M, and 800 and 500 p. m.
The interest of the peopleis at white
heat. and the famous saying about
Charleston is now equally applicable
to Kingstree: Everyone goes to
church here" The principal busi-
ness men of town are generously
aiding the good work by closing
their establishments during the
hours of worship.
The meetings are conducted by
Rev DR. ] Ernest Thacker of Nor
folk. Va, evangelist of the Southern
Presbyterian church. He is a speak
er of great force and possesses a
good voice, an excellent delivery and
a charming personality. so that he
attracts all with whom he comes in
contact. He breaches extemporan-
eously and deals in no disputed mat
ters of doctrine. His effort is to
bring all to confess and call them
selves Christians and to hold the
faith in the bond of peace and in
Righteousness of life.
DR. Thacker has an invaluable as
sistant in Mr. James W Jelks. musical
director. He possesses a voice of
much sweetness and compass and is
borr music teacher. He has a
large choir of both tadults and chill
dren, composed of members of all
the churches here. They are deeply
interested in their work. and Mr.
Jelks is much pleased with their rem
dition of the music.
DR. Thacker will speak tonight on
THE Inheritance of the Children of
God"
In addition to the morning and
evening services Sunday, there will
be a meeting at 800 p. m. at the
Baptist church for men and boys
only. conducted by DR. Thacker and
Mr. Jelks. At the same hour a meet
ing for ladies only will be conducted
at the Presbyterian church by Mrs
Thacker, wife of the evangelist.
About 400 persons have signified
their intention of uniting with the
various churches, or. when already
members, leading more consecrated
life.
