Watch for the special sales from time to time. Respectful!}', The Corner Store. Sudden Death of Mr, J. S. Bush. On Friday last Mr. J. S. Bush of the Philippi seotion cama over to Edgefield for a visit to his sister, Mrs. James Davis. In a lit tie while after reaching his sister's home, and while preparing to partake of din ner, he fell suddenly as he was standing near the table. He never regained consciousness. Mr. Bush was fifty-nine years of age and was an honored citizen of the Philippi community, and a member of thal church. He leaves five grown sons and daughters. His remains were car ried to Philippi, and on Sunday morning the Masons to which fra ternity he belonged, performed thc sacred rites over his remains, Dr. C. E. Burts Going to Colum bia. For several weeks, the people of Edgefield of all denominations, of every name and station, and of the county at large, and the state as well, have awaited with great inter est the decision of Dr. C. E. Burts, as to his remaining in Edgetield, or accepting the call which had been extended him to the First Baptist church of Columbia. Everything: that was legitimate was done to induce him to remain among the people of Edgefield, al of whom have learned to honor and love him for his own sake and for his work's sake. A meeting of all the men of the church was bald at which he was present and at which time he was assured of the great so licitude of the church to have him remain. The ladies of the church also held a similar meeting and ex pressed their earnest desire that he should continue his labors among us. All these spontaneous expres sions of the church and community were but the natural result of the fact that since Dr. Burts came to Edgefield, the church of which he was pastor had become stimulated and strengthened, enlarged and en riched, beyond any other experience of the past. The county at large has found his presence and assistance a benediction and inspiration. The view point has been enlarged and the horizon broadened by his great mind and heart. No one believed that Dr. Burts really wanted to leave Edgefield, and the people among whom he had lived in so much harmony and good feeling; for since his coming to Edgefield he has had many and in viting opportunities to leave this field for others, in many cases more convenient and lucrative. It was the concurrent belief thar, if he should leave, it would be at the call of duty, and to him the right and wisest thing to do. And now that he is going and will probably be with us but a few weeks longer, everyone recognizes and realizes his unusual gifts and peculiar ability to fill any field and occupy any position to which he may be called, and so we feel that although our particular field may be deprived of his valuable services, that the Baptist denomination at larg? in South Carolina will be profited by his entrance upon this greater and broad*r field of activi ty. Our gratitude for his generous services in the.riaak-'arid his ftb*4mg-j [ififlu?nce among 'all the people of our county, will remain throughout the years, and our constant hope for a long and happy and useful life will attend him in his broader field of activity in our capital city. A splendid cut of Dr. Burts ap peared in the Monday morning State which also contained a cut of the retiring pastor Dr. W. C. Lindsay. The letter of the Rev. C. E. Burts of Edgefield accepting the call to the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Columbia was read to the congregation of that church at the morning service by Dr. W. C. Lindsay, the pastor This letter was addressed to A. J. Scruggs and was as follows: 'Please say to the pulpit com mittee and members of the First Baptist church that, after mature consideration, I have decided to accept the call extended to become their pastor. I shall come to Co lumbia at the earliest convenience to arrange the details of my remov al. I hope I may be able to enter upon the work at a reasonably early date." *s* *$* % Weat-Side Marriages. * .i- *s* Married by Rev. J. T.

NOMINATION COUPON I wish to nominate as candidate in your contest / understand that this is merely a nomination and does not obligate me in any way NAME. ADDRESS. RESULTS EXCEEDED HIS EXPECTATIONS i mm In an experiment recently made by John Perkins, residing on rural route No. 2. Henniker, N. H., the results obtained far exceeded his ex pectations. Mr. Perkins was so pleased that he made a statement for general publication, saying: "For a number of years I was an iuvalid from a combination of troubles. I suffered terribly from constipation and piles, and was so stiffened with rheumatism that I could not arise without assistance. I wa9 also troubled with dizziness. My stomach was out of order, my appetite fickle, I felt dull, weak and tired all the time, and was in a generally rundown condition. "My wife and daughter having both used the Cooper remedies with beneficial results. I decided to try them. They proved helpful beyond all expectations. The New Discov ery soon put my bowels into good condition, and the piles disappeared. My appetite improved, and I began to relish my meals, having no diffi culty in digest ing all that I ate. The dizziness soon left me and has not returned. "I used Cooper's Quick Relief liniment as an aid to the New Dis covery for my rheumatism, which has not troubled me now for a long time. The Cooper remedies worked wonoers for me." L T Cooper, whose medicine was used by Mr. Perkins, claims that stomach trouble is responsible for nearly all illness, and that if the stomach is restored to normal and healthy activity, such diseases as rheumatism, kidney and liver troub les, etc., will quickly disappear. His preparations have certainly made a remarkable record. Weare agents for them in this community. -(Penn & Holstein.) FIRE INSURANCE E. J.
