Byrd, of Seranton, was dead. He ded Monday evening about S o'clock very suddenly. lie was iu his office at the time of his - death with one of his sons transacting business, and without pre tnonitiou and not a word of complaint. he tell frum his chair and expired. The people of the com inunity heard ot his death with the greatest sorrow, for ho had lived and labored among tbera the greater part of his lite, : always ready and willing to ao this part of anything that pertained >to their health, prosperity and tJiappiness. No man was ever more ready to devote his lime and means to the welfare of his fellow citizens than the eminent physician -and good neighbor whose death is :so deeply -deplored. Dr. Brrd had lited out the a!-! t 'lotted time to man, and his iaie | was not one which had tailed to! make its impress during the peTiod in which he moved and acted. When very young we find him a soldier in far off Kansas among those from his native State who -so earnestly espoused the cause of the South trtten the squatter sovereignty excitement was so prominent in the political issues of that; day. After his return in 1S5G or ?57 he located at Graham's Gross j 1 load;f?now Lake City?for the _ practice of medicine. His proles-' sional success was rapid and eminently satisfactory. He became; -so well known and so popular in, the county?then district?that he was induced to enter politics,! and was elected to the legislature in 1S5S. lie served the people faithfully aRd well; and when the war between the States came on he was a brave and gallant, officer | in that struggle from beginning to end. He never shirked, and *' 1 * 4' *t. . always waiKeu in me pum? m.u he conceived to be the paths of duty. He rose during the war from the ranks to ihe oftice of major. After the war was over ho resumed his place as a physician and citizen and remained true and steadfast to the principles for which he fought. When the reconstruction measures were beiny: enforced on the South, and their train ot evils, he fought them with a boldness and pertinacity equaled bv lew and surpassed bv none.j lie was a terror to the carpetbaggers and their allies in that period of our State's history. His name will go into history as doing perhaps more than any other one man towards redeeming and set-1 ting Williamsburg free from radial rule. After the State passe I tuto the i 4 hands and control ol the white people lie wan elected to the State senate, succeeding tbe lamented S. W. Maurice.

At the time of his death he was actively engaged in the effort to have a monument erected to the memory of the Confederate dead of this county. Dr. Bvrd was a man of many noble traits of character. He was public spirited and always ready to assist in anything that was for the good of hie county and people. He was a large-hearted man, and never turned a deal ear to Ifcose who came to him in trouble or distress. Dr. Byrd was a native of Darlington county. He married in this county. His first wile was a daughter ot lion. N. M. (jj,r*bani and his second wife the daughter of the late lamented and widely known Cleland Belin. llis second wile and several children, survive him; a# flap hu only child by his first wife. !n his domestic relations Dr. Byrd was all that a tn?u cou'd be, as gentle and kind as a woman. He stood high in dtfasonry, and was at the time ol his death, we believe master ol Scran ton Lodge of A F Masons, In this imperfect and hurried r\f iVia life, rit amp H?>nurt?>(l I P(\C?\sM V? ?i?V H'V w. v... r ?" friend, we can only add in general term*, that he was honorable true and sincere, in all the relations of life and a patriot whom his compeers and acquaintances will long and lovinglv remembernER MAG EST Y SLEEPS ^ Tf U/? ?v*ii'irln. v^ueen v ii'nuiii, me imiBi 'i mily known, and best loved woman that fhe world has ever known, quietly passed away yesterday. She had a long and prosperous reign, and every nation on earth today mourns her death. Queen Victoria was born in 1819, and was made Queen of England In 1S39. She will be succeeded by her son, Prince ot Wales, whoj will he Edward VII, King of England. Kingstree is on the improve?j she is climbing slowly but surely, j Kingstree has pemaps more inon-i eyed men to her size and popula-j ; tion than any other small town in j eastern Carolina. Her moneyed men are all conservative, yet they have the money all the same, ??irt if ilmu prur i'pt started and I I can agree upon some enterprise ; it wont take long to bring a bank, j a factory of some kind, cotton oil nulls and such other enterprises i as are sorely needed. Kcal ?state has about doubled in value in the! 'lastten years. What we mostj ! need here is some one in whom) 1 the people have confidence to take I the lead and show what can be jdone, and the lemaiuder will l'ol! low. Kingstree can boast of as j much intelligence as any town of | like size in the .Stale; our people j are industrious, painstaking and j up to date business men; all they 1 ! lack is *o have their energies I ! rightly directed and let all pull together, and we are bound to to come to the front. i We sincerely trust that Miss Lucy Barron, cf Manning may be elected librarian. Her mother j was a native of this coanty, and , \ her faleer so closely identified with our people that we always looked upon them as Williamsburg people. Non? mold with inft'?

This is flattering when we consider that it includes practically every child iu the school district. The present management endeavors to do its best, and hopes to hold the confidence el the people. The purpose of education is to stimulate the growth of moral character; not puritanic, but that which nearest approaches the strongest man in present citizenship. To cultivate such a spirii it is necessary to disregard some ot the traditional tendencies of teaching and add what will better make a man than manufacture a machine. There are some in today's world that cannot move unlets a belt is applied. The parents must supply their children with tho books we require Some torget that for need of a dollar's worth m books a child may lose a year's time in school and gain enough discouragement lor life. Most children have active minds until dulled by teacheis and deadened byk,adopted" books. We shall depart from the old course in some particulars, espe ci:illv in reading: and literature, and shall give children text hooks based on human rather than heavenly action. Our judgment shall be controlled in all cases by the best methods suited to our conditions oi the greatest teachers of to-day. liowever, we are always looking for "more light." Wm. W. Boddik.
