C., Sept. 7, 1896, Mrs. Josephine Adams, wife of A. 8. Adams, formerly of Darlington. Mrs. Adams was born Sept. 17, 1846 and conse quently was fifty years of age. Though of delicate constitution, her death was unexpected. Taken sick only a few days be fore death, not one of her loved ones suspected that it was to be her last illness. It was truly an occasion of grief when hus band and children stood around her bedside, realizing that it was a death bed! But it is well. “Even so. Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.” Mrs. Adam’s death had some of the traditional terrors about it, so characteristic of unbelievers. It was a happy death because she was a Christian. “It is harvest time with me.” “I see my mother, husband, children, I am going, meet me hereafter.” 8uch were some of the expres sions which fell from her lips. No pain was felt, no difficulty of dying experienced, but to the last, rational, trustful, believ ing. Mrs. Adams was a con sistent member of the Chester Baptist Church. She will be much missed, but It is far bet ter with her now, than when she was here. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” H. C. B. Car load oats just received at Deans Bros. Trudks—some big bargains now offered—making room for another big lot to arrive this week. Blackwell Bros. Onions, Irish, potatoes, ap- les cabbages &c., at W. A. lizzard’s. There aie great differences in the pay of the governor of the several States of the Union. New York, Pennsylvania and Now Jersey pay their chief ma gistrates each an annua 1 salary or $10,000. Ohio and Massachu setts pay $8,000 a year, Illinois and California $6,000, Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri. Virginia and Wiscon sin $5,000, Maryjand $4,500, whilst eight other States each allow $4,000. In South Caro lina the salary is now fixed at $3,000. In twenty of the States the salary is very small—almost disgracefully small. In Ver mont and Oregon it is but $1,500 —moderate pay for a competent private secretary. In Michigan the salary was for many years $1,000—thus putting the office beyond the reach of all but rich, men. It has since been raised to $4,000. In no case can the pay be considered too large. A certain manner of living is rath er forced upon the man occupy ing such a station, and this he must usually maintain to escape notice on the ground of eccen tricity or parsimony. There are rare instances only in which such an official retires from of flee with any gain derived from the pay he has drawn.—Colum bia Evening News.
