His comrades and the people of Kingstree and vicinity were grievjuslv shocked monday morning when they learned that Private Gil-' land Hall,of near Camden,a member )f Company M, First South Carolina regiment, had been found dead at tiis post of duty about 4 o'clock that morning. Young Hall was one of a 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 it midnight at the north end of the trestle. When the next man on duty came jp to relieve Hall he found the lifeess body lying on its back partly in i fire and partly on the track, one ' > 1 1 1 J toot crusnea Dy me car wneeis auu ;he face .shoulder and one arm bady burned by the fire into which the roung soldier had fallen when struck >y the passsing train. At first it was thought that Hall lad fallen asleep on the side of the rack and had been struck by the ?gine,but this theory passed out of he minds of the people as a closer nvestigation was made as to the portion of the dead body, the cuts ind bruises on it and the record of he young man as a soldier. There s no doubt as to his death being aused by the train, but as to just iow the vouncr man was struck by it, 10 one knows. One theory is that le was standing by the fire with his run across his shoulder and the rain struck the muzzle of the gun, mocking him senseless into the fire. Vnother is that a loose hanging car loor of a rapidly passing freight rain struck him. Of thp two heories the one of the gun seems nost probable because the gun was lamaged. Monday morning the body was jrought to Kingstree and prepared :or burial by the Kingstree Hardware Co. That evening the remains were escorted to the depot by the Soy Scouts and sent to Camden, rhe floral offerings by the Boy Scouts were numerous and beautiful. Gilland Hall, it is said, was an ?xemplary young man, and enjoyed :he confidence and esteem of the jfficers and fellow privates of his mmpany. Tho motorboat Mary Lee Swann s plying daily between Kingstree md the soldiers' camps. Many ladies ind gentlemen have taken this meth)d of visiting these volunteer de'enders of our country, and all ihould do so. The Swann made two ;rips Saturday. SOUL-STIRRING SERVICES Still Going on at Presbyterian ChurchGreat Interest Manifested. The people of Kingstree and surrounding community are still enjoy- j ing a rare spiritual feast in the evangelistic services at the Presbyterian church. Two services are held daily except Satnrday, at 10:30 a. m. and 8:00 p. m., and three on Sunday, at 11:00 a. m., and 3:00 and 8:00 p. m. The interest of the people is at white heat, and the famous saying about Charleston is now equally applicable to Kingstree: "Everyone goes to church .here." The Tprincipal business men of town are generously aiding the Rood work by closing their establishments during the hours of worship. The meetings are conducted by Rev Dr J Ernest Thacker of Norfolk, Va, evangelist of the Southern Presbyterian church. He is a speaker bf 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 preaches extemporaneously and deals in no disputed matters of doctrine. His effort is to bring all to confess and call themselves Christians and to hold the faith in the bond of peace and in righteousness of life. Dr Thacker has an invaluable assistant in Mr James W Jelks,musical director. He possesses a voice of much sweetness and compass and is a born music teacher. He has a large choir of both I adults and children. composed of members of all the churches here. They are deeply interested in their work, and Mr Jelks is much pleased with their rendition 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 3:00 p. m. at the Baptist church for men and boys only, conducted by Dr Thacker and Mr Jelks. At the same hour a meeting for ladies only will be conducted at the Presbyterian church by Mrs Thacker. wife of the evanerelist. About 400 persons have signified their intention of uniting with the various churches, or, when already members,leading a more consecrated life. \ Gradually Improving. The host of friends of DrR Claude McCabe will learn with a feeling of profound pleasure that this popular young man is gradually improving in health. "Doc" has doubtless had a tough time of it. He told the writer yesterday, while calling on him, that he had been on the "very brink" and that all along he had had to fight for what, he has, and that he was still fighting to get well and to rid his system of the poisonous corpuscles that in some way, and at some time, invaded his body and polluted nis blood through contact with a 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 expression to see our young friend looking as well as he does, after the 3iege he has gone through, and to note the cheerful,hopeful spirit that pervades his being. Pay Town Taxes. Tax books of the town treasurer will close on Tuesday, May 15. Only four more days in which to pay your town taxes without also having to pay the execution penalty of $2.
