A gloom was cast over our communi ty when the announcement was made that Beaty Sherard was dead. It was felt that a bright light had gone out, a promising life had been cut short, so j thcro were many sorrowing hearts. During last summer he contracted consumption, and, despite the skill of attending physicians and the constant ministrations of loving hands, the dread disease worked its way, daily consuming, untii Saturday, the UJth inst., when he peacefully breathed his last. Beaty Sherard was the son of D. J. Sherurd, and at his death was in his 2?th year. He obtained his academic training in the Moffafctsville High School, and from there he went to Ers kine College for one or two sessions, and then to the South Carolina Col lege, graduating from the last named institution in the summer of 1808. He practically worked his own way through College. He began the prac tice of law in Columbia, first being as sociated with Col. J. T. Sloan, then af terwards opening up an office to him self. Though permitted to practice his chosen profession only for a short while, ?tili he gave promise of taking a very high stand among the lawyers of the State. ' As a man he wan the soul of honor, full of energy, genial in disposition, lovable iu character, kind hearted and sympathetic. His manner was such as to make friends, wherever he would go. He early gave his heart to tho Savior, uniting iirst with tho A. R. Pt Church, at Duo West, when a student at Ers kino College, then when leaving there ho transferred his membership to Good Hope, where in infancy ho had been baptized, aud in which ho had been brought up. In Church, as in all of his other duties, he was faithful and con sistent to tho very lost. During his long and trying illness, he never mur mured, or complained, but bore his sufferings with patient resignation, committing himself, as he said to his pastor, into the hands of the Savior. While fully realizing his ciitical con dition he was remarkably hopeful to the last. Dying on Saturday at the home of his childhood, he was laid to rest on the following day, the Sabbath, in the cemetery at Genorostee Church in i he presence of a large concourse of friends, the funeral services being oon dueted by hiB pastor, assisted by Rev. J. V. Black. "There is no death ! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore? And bright in Heaven's jewelled crown They shine forevermore." L. Good Hope, Jan. 16th, 1001. This State's Monument. A special meeting of tho Chicka mnuga monument commission has been called to bo held on Friday afternoon next in the office of Gov. McSweeney at ? o'clock. This meeting has been called for the purpose of taking preliminary steps toward the unveiling of the South Carolina monument on the battlefield in May. It was at first thought that this event would not take place until July, but now that the date for the Confed erate reunion uc Memphis has been changed to May the unveiling will also take place in May in order that veter ans from this State bound for Memphis may stop off at Chattanooga and par ticipate in the ceremonies. It is es pecially desired that there be a large gathering of South Carolinians on the famous battlefield. Every effort will be made to provide n most fitting pro gramme.?The State, Jan.
