RIDHARD DAVID ROLLINS. SketcL ?t H s L:ft* -via ~r;'o te to His > F.na'ttd .Grafv.cter. Richard Daud Kidiins v.a? torn! it Lake tv-vamp, Darlington county, :u February 14th. 1846. and was the second sen of Rev Jchn L Rol-. Uns. llo was euucateu in me com-, mon school * of the duy and at the< Citadol Academy. Hw did not I Graduate at the Citadel. He went ( out with the other cadets to j$in the | Confederate army. As a soldier he j was faithful and fearless, rising from the ranks to the office of staff orderly, j At the "blow up'' at Petersburg he, was severely wounded. After the! war he returned to Williamsburg for j the remainder of his days. Several! years were spent at Scrantou, whence! he removed to lndiantown, where he was engaged in the mercantile business, first w ith th'1 late J R Lunibson and afterwards alone. He removed to Lake City about 1890. Here he con tinned thp mercantile business. For a time he served as postmaster. In 1890. he was elected county treasurer and was re-elected each1 succeeding campaign until his death. Once or twice he had no opposition and whenever there were other candidates h<? received large majorities. His wife was Miss Ida I Ba.-s, eldest daughter of Or Thomas R Bass of Florence county. Out of the union sprang six child)en, one son and live daughters, all of whom sur vive except one daughter. Mr Rollins was a Master Mason and one of the brightest, in the country. He was also a member of the Woodmen of the World and of the Knights of Pythias. Several years ago he united with the Baptist church and remained one of its brightest, most consistent and devoted members. He was elected superintendent of the Lake City Baptist Sunday-school to succeed the late J M Thomas, ami fille^l that position most successfully up to his death. These are some of the leading facts in the life of this man. He was, at the time of bis death, the most popular man in Williamsburg county. This may seem extravagant, but we believe the hearts of those who have felt the presence of his great big heart will say it is true. He endeared himself to his people not so much by deeds that attracted the attention of the world as by his treatment of his fellowmen. Sincere, courtly, kind and true, all felt that he was a man to he trusted. In whatsoever lie engaged he was eminently faithful. There was about him u subtle charm that can uot be defined, but was very present and potent. Who in need was ever turned away by him? To how many widows and orphans v. as he counsellor and friend? Who can number those who made a confidant <>f him? His judgment was so reliable that even attorneys sometimes deferred to it. He was an excellent church worker, a splendid accountant, a model treasurer. In these and other lines he was far above the average, but he will be remembered longest by his treatment of his fellow .lien. Post up Ins lift; and it will balance true; measure it by the square and plumb and it will be found exact. To us all he was a brother in the truest sense of the word. If (Jod! ever made the spirit of Divinity to shiue in human form, surely here it was. He miilt for himself a tomb more beautiful than marble, more' lasting than granite?he sleeps in J the hearts of the people of old Williamsburg.

Personal. 1 / Lakz City, September fci.-^Miss Elmer Murphy, who had been spending fcouie time with relatives at Kis simmee, Ga., has returned home. Edwin Jj Hirsch, Esq., spent s portions of Friday and Saturday in Vv town on business. f - ' Mr Genera! W Johnson of Chap- 1 * man was in town Wednesday afternoon on his way to Kmgstree. f Mr J J Morns went to Kmgstree * Friday to attend a meeting of the i directors of the Williamsburg Divisions of the Mutual Benevolent Association. At tins meeting W L Has?, Esq., was elected secretary and treasurer to succeed the late Mr R D Rollins. Dr L D Bass, of Fairniount, Illinois, is visiting relatives here. Several of our people attended the i picnic and ball game at Concord Saturday. A very enjoyable occae- ; ion is reported. The people were kind and sociable, the gauie interest- t ilig and the dinner excellent. Among our people who visited ; Kiuffstvee Monday last we note ; Messrs \V S Moore, J J Morris, C D Rollins and W L Bass. Tbey went ! oil various business errands. | Hon John S Wilson of Manning ^ laud Mr F L Wilcox were in town Thursday. They went down to Prospect to atterd a reference to .A take the testimony of an aged witness. ''Judge" Baldwin is the referee. On account of the health of the witness his testimony could not be taken. . , ? Cashier E W Yates continues to grow in importance. Its auother girl. ; J W Bodiford was couvicted last April of killing his son and wag sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. A petition asking his pardon is being circulated. The physician of the penitentiary saya he has an incurable disease of the Kn?* *?t 1JC<11 t. Scott Mention, who is thoroughly acquainted with the chaiugang calaboose, got into trouble again last week. This time he stole two sacks of flour and a piece of meat from Mr S M Ask ins. lie plead guilty and turned over $20 00 for public purposes. The Coast Line has a lot of material now on the ground for improvements to the station. We are informed l>y some of those connected witli the company that an additional covered platform will be first built and that right away. Afterwards the freight and passenger business will be separated by putting up another building just south of the present structure. The passenger department will then be transferred to this new building. The old building will be enlarged and used exclusively for the freight depot. The existing facilities are entirely iuadeouate for handling the bnsiness. This is the most important station between Florence and Charleston?a distance of 102 miles. The wareroom is entirely too small?really diminutive m comparison with the volume of goods that pass through it. Aud the platform room can not accommodate the* tobacco and cotton business. The railroad facilities should keep pace with the growing importance of the town and community. Constable McCutchen last Friday arrested Thurston McGee on a warrant issued by .Magistrate Loyd of Florence charging McGee with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. He was turned over to Sheriff Graham and lodged in jail. It seems that the constable neglected to have the warrant endorsed by a Williamsburg magistrate and in consequence McGee was liberated. The Graded school is now open for the term. Mr Calhoun of Clio was elected principal last week and took charge on Monday. The school was run last week by Misses Gregg and Stanley, the assistants. Mr Calhoun is a graduate of the Citadel, and comes well recommended.
