DR. WILLIAM D. BRATTOX.
Fatally Wounded by a Fall on Board a
Ship?A Short, hut Brilliant Career.
Willi profound grief we record (he
death ;of this honored and beloved
gentleman?the near relative and dear
friend of so many in this town and
county.
Dr. Bratton died Sunday morning
" ' ?^ * *i- -
at Sabine Jfass, Texas, irom me eifects
of a fail aboard ship whilst going
to the post of duty in (be yellow fever
district; he having volunteered for
that humany and necessary, but dangerous,
service.
William DuBose Bratton wa3 the
oldest son of Gen.; John Bratton, -and
his wife Elizabeth Porcher DuBose,
and was born at Koseland in this
county June 17tb, 1860. His early
education was obtained at our time
honored Mount Zion College. Tbence
hs Tsent to the "University of the
South" at Sewane?, Tenu., where he
mastered the loll curriculum, and was
graduated with high honors.
Choosing the profession of medicine
* - ' _ j _
he pursued nis preparatory siuuies
here under the late Dr. T. T. Robertson
and in due time was matriculated
at the South Carolina Mcdical College
a: Charleston. Ihere he won fresh
honors and was assigned to duty in
the hospitals of the United States and
the city of Charleston.
Those tours of dutv* having been
finished with great credit, he was commissioned
Assistant Surgeon in the
IT. S. Marine Hospital service in 1885,
in which he has been uatil his most
* - i -? -3 .r .3AA4K
lamented ana uuummy ucaiu, uuvu'g
been promoted meantime to the
rank of Past Assistant SurgGon.
His appointment was due to a
remarkable examination which
attracted the special attention of the
medical staff. His conduct in the
"/v?:nA)?fi/^or\r*o onrl
StU ViUC wiuiuauutu iuo vviiuuvuvu
esteem of his superior officer?, and
of all with whom he camc in contact.
On several notable occasions be was
assigned to duties requiring special
tact and ability. When his health
failed, the consideration and indulgence
showed him speak eloquently
as to the high esteem in which the
service held him.
Truly may we ask with the Roman
bard, what end, what limit can there
be to oar grief for the loss of so dear
an one!
Pure, bi*h-minded, gifted at ooce
with talent and with modesty?gentle
and sweet as woman, yet in every
frense a brave and trne man, he has
fallen in harness, alas, too soon. His
kindred and his friends can only
lament :he painful end, and cherish
most tenderly the memory of his noble
and u>efal life.
To his beloved and honored father
and to his surviving brother and sister,
a:i relatives and mends, we tender our
deepest sympathy.

THE ROAD MATTER.
Mr. Editor: I have read and heard
a great deal lately about roads and
road congresse?, and as you have been
kind enough to publish any article that
is in the interest of good road*, I will
throw out a few suggestions that I
think will be beneficial to the public:
1st. That it would not be wise to
work the roads by taxation, ar.d the
reason why, the fai mers are already
burdened with taxes, as each as they
are able to pay.
2ud. At the low pric-3 of cotton a
~ foiTnOVO TO111 Tint &b]ft tO
iiUUU. LUCtUJ 1.UI AMVAV t.A** ? W ^ ?
pay the present tax.
3rd. That we have a good sysfeai of
road la^ if the officiels would see that
the law is enforced, and if allowed I
will make a few suggestions:
That each and every white man who
is liable to road duty make a solemn
vow that they will work or send a
hand iu their place or pay a fine, and
the supervisor and load commissioners
? :il >3/* tVtnlt* fnctror^a onfftppiTIOf
( Will UU IU511 urn; v-"-a
the law; and not confine the chain
gang to any paiticular section, bat go
j to the hills and worse places of roads,
! and while there order out the road
hands that belong to that sec'ion and
all bands work while they have the
opportunity of the improve'd machinery,
and move from section to section
until every road in the county is completed,
aud I firmly believe that in five
years we can bave all the roads in
Fairfield County graded.
I imagine i can near seme ienow
bawling now, "I do not intend to work
on the chain gang;" and to satisfy h:m
or them I will make another suggestion:
As I have said, let the overseers
order oat the road hands in section 1
and the chain gang in section 1, work
the hands in separaie Eqtuds and separate
overseers, and, brother, I will
guarantee that we wJ!l have the best
roids that have ever been seen in old
Fairfield Coanty. BelieviDg that you
will try my plan, I will close by saying,
work more and write and talk
less. Yours, &c., j. m. h. !

The riding of bicycles by women
hasjbecome so common, and the testimony
of physicians to its beneficial
effects, when not imprudently done, is
so unanimous among those who have
examined into the merits of the question,
that it sounds strangely now to
hear a young woman say that her
father or her husband is opposed to
her riding.
The bicycle is no longer a toy c r an
experiment. It is a practical road
machine. Itiscneof the great inventions
ot the day. It is only second in
importance iq me itiepuuuu tmu u.vi;tric
cars among recent inventions. It
marks a distinct advance in lhe
methods of locomotion, and its influence
wili be ielt around the world.
This is the bicycle era, and the wheel
is i*apidly becoming, if it is not
already, the most commonly used
vehicle of the day, among all classes.
So far from denying its use to
women, the belief is common that the
next generation of men and women
will be a decided advance over Uie
present one, because of the better
physical condition of women which Is
being brought about by outdoor cxercise
on the wheel. Someone has declared
that the bicycle has "physically
saved American women by introducing
exercise into their lives." With
exercise has come a degree of indepence
they have never known before,
and the value of wSiioh in their esiimasion
is beet. ;hown by their use and
enjoyment 01 it. One has only to
note- the hundred* of healthy and
happy girls and young women. savs
the Charleston News and Courier, flitting
gracefully every day and all day j
about the streets of towns witnout
exciting the least attention, and even
extending tbeir jaunts into country
places in favorable localities, and compare
this wholesome freedom with the
restraints under which the same class
of people have lived and moved always
heretofore, to understand that the
wheel has done more to emancipate
womankind and girlkind Irom practical
house bondage and physical stagnation
with the many resulting evils
of those depressing conditions, than
any other known agent or agency.
The pity is that there are so many girls
and women in the state who have
never vet enioved a breath of the new
life, and that the opportunities of even
those who are best equipped *to enjoy
it are so limited by bad roads.? Augusta
Chronicle.

SUNDAY USE OF THE BICYCLE.
How shall the bicycle be used on J
Sunday? This question, no doubt,
troubles the individual as well as the
public conscience sometimes. It is not
exactly similar 10 me use 01 railways,
coaches and other public conveyances
on Sunday, It stands on tbe" same
footing that the use of hordes on that
day does. The owner of a well rested
horae might benefit both himself and
horse by taking a few hours' exercise,
or by riding or driving to church.
When a horse ba3 labored hard for six
days he needs his Sunday rest, and he
oaght to bave it. The bicycle needs
no rest. Shall men and women, who
are kept qosely confined daring the
week, take a little exercise on thenwheels?
Is it proper for cyclists to
ride eight or ten miles to church? Or
is it proper to ride a mile to the town
churches? The wheel is here to stay.
It has become a very important factor
in business and pleasure. It has reduced
the use of intoxicants. It is
slowly supplanting the old-tiine amusement
of dancing. One would be a
little shocked to see a long string of
Knrrrrioa onr? ntliAr XTAhl '.IPS filled With
merry riders, just riding: for fan Sonday
afternoon. In our conservative
old Southern towns it would not look
exactly right to see cyclists out spending
Sunday jast in the search of pleasure
and exercise. With incrsased use
of wheels these questions will come tip
tor s-> ution.?Ex.
