Death of MIR. John Rhoad.

A very sad death occurred in the
Hunters Chapel neighborhood of the
county Monday morning about seven
o'clock when Mr.. John Rhoad passed
away at the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel B. Rhoad. Mr..
Rhoad was a young man "a years OF
age and had relatives in Bamberg.
Some two weeks ago he suffered an
attack of measles and remained IN
the house for two or three days with
it. The first time he got out after
the measles, however, he attended
an entertainment in that section on
a very cold night, and becoming well
heated up drove home in the cold.
The next morning he was sick and
the family physician was called in
and Mr.. Rhoad appeared to improve
some. He contracted pneumonia
though, which was the ultimate cause
of his death.
Mr.. Rhoad was an estimable young
man with exemplary habits and at
tended strictly to business. He was
popular socially and in every way
with all who knew him. He was un-
married and attended Carlisle school
in this city several years ago and
had many friends in Bamberg who
deeply regret his death and sympa-
thize with his parents and family.
The funeral and burial were held
Tuesday morning at Zion church.
near Mr.. Rhoad's home, the services
being conducted by the Rev. c. S.
Fielder, pastor Of the Ehrhardt Meth
odist church.

Aubutting Property Tax Bill.

Among the new bills introduced In
the South Carolina house of repre-
sentatives is the following offered by
B. D. Carter, Esq, Of the Bamberg
delegation:
To amend article 10 of the con-
stitution Of 1895 so as to authoize
the town of Bamberg, in Bamberg
county, to assess abutting property
for permanent Improvement.
This bill was instituted by Mr..
Carter at the instigation of members
of the city council of Bamberg for
the purpose of obtaining means or
devising a method by which the va
rious sidewalks on the Important
streets, both business and residen-
tial, of the city may be paved. The
matter of paving Main street from
the railroad to the cotton mill, a
long and sorely needed Improvement,
may also be considered under the
new law if passed. 1t is highly prob
able that the bill will pass the house,
the only thing to prevent its passage
being a larger amount of other i'm
portant business ahead Of it to be
taken up by the legislature.

Gets Legislative Position.

Mr.. J. Carl Kearse, of Bamberg
county, who read law in the Offices of
Carter & Carter last summer, and
who is now senior law student at
the University of South Carolina, has
been elected clerk of the judiciary
committee of the house of represen-
tatives. This is one of the most i'm
portant committees in the house, and
the clerkship is greatly sought after.
The place was made vacant by the
resignation of Mr.. M. S. Whaley, he
being appointed judge of the Rich
land county court. Four candidates
were out for the place, three of them
practicing lawyers of Columbia, so
Mr.. Kearse deserves credit in receiv
ing the election. Hon. B. D. Carter,
of Bamberg, is a member of the COM
mittee, and it was due largely to
his influence that Mr.. Kearse was
elected. The work will not prevent
Mr.. Kearse from carrying on his law
studies.
