MAJ. G. L. BUIST DEAD. Noted South Oarolinian Ends Long and Honor,able Oareer-Maj. Buist was Apparently in Good Health a Few Hours. Before His Death. The State. Charlestoll, May 31.-Maj.- George Lamb Buist died suddenly this morn ing, sliorlty after 12 o'clock, at his ,residence, Nio . 283 Mceting s'qreet. The cause of his death was heart disease. Maj. Buist attended the com mencement exercises of the Lucas academy last night and returned home aind retired, apparently in the best of health. He did not complain of any bad feeling upon retirement, but about a half hour afterwards lie awoke and spoke of his heavt pain ing him. Medical -assistance was im mediately siumimoned and everything possible was done to give the patient relief, but the attack was of such a Iserious nature that its fa-tal effect could not be stayed and inl about 20 minutes he was dead. The news of the death of Maj. Buist came as a groat shock to the People of Charleston itoday and all through -the state, where he was also well known. a Maj. Buist was large of build and .always enjoyed good health. His personal appearance certainly gave no indication ithat, notwitlhst.anding he was 69 years of age, he would be spared for many years to come and his usefulness to the community proipted the wish that lie would r-e main an active figure in the business social and educational life of Charles ton for a long time to come. He had a heart as big as his body, kind in nature, wi-th a pleasant word for all and glad of the opportunrty to do a service .to his fellow man. He loved his city aiid his people and lie freely gave his services in their behalf. In war and in peaee the best that was in him, and this was a vast deal, was at the disposal of his people. Inl the le.-islatire. both in the house of rep resentatives and in the senate, lie was an able. hard and faithful work er in behalf of Charleston, and in fact for the entire staste, and in the cause of education especially lie was an energetic and zealous worker, serviing for mainy years on the board of ci-ty school commissioners, - of which he was chairman at the time of his.dantJe. - MNfaj. Buist is survived by Mrs. Buist, four sons, Dr. George Lamb Buist, Henry Buist, Thomas J. Buist and Abbot Buist, and three dau:hi ters, Mrs. M. Rutledge Rivers, Miss Louise Buist and Mrs. James L. Ack ermanl, and two brothers, Dr. J. S. Buist and Samuel Buist. GEORGIA DAY AT JAMESTOWN. President Roosevelt Makes His See ond Visit and is Orator of Day -Gratid Naval and Mliitary Reviews.

An Exhibition of Inventions Not Yet on the Market, at the James town Exposition. Norfolk, Vd., June 3.-A most iii teresthi- featre of the Jamestowii exposition , oil HamiI-poni lloads, near Norfolk, Virginia, which opened April 26th, and will close November 30th, is t'he ''Section for Invention,'' in which inventors are invited to dis play their inventions and demon strate tleir value to visitors. The ivitation is open to all, and every facility is offered in the way of floor space, tables, and shelves, ad vertisiiig cards and labels, electric current, gas, lights, etc. A modest fee of from ten to not more th,anl I-hirty dollars. except inl very special cases. is charyed for such space and servive. The service iwludes. as well as the general care of models, ex plaiins to visitors, and the return of the exhixibit at the close of thel exposition. Awards will be made of gold, sil ver, and bronze medals and, diplomas. That iintois iAffilive to this un paralleled opportunity for making public their creations, is shown by the fact that within four weeks after the first notice was sent out by the Bireau of Inveiitions of the James town exposition, applications had been made for more Vln five thous and square feet, and new applica tions are now coming at the rate of a hmndred a day. The inventors are not the only ones who will profit by this display for the exhuibition cannot fail to be of interest and material benefit to the public at large. Never becfore has such an oppJortunity been pre Sentedl at any ex'posit.ion, and now t'hat the first step has been made in this dli'etioni, such exhibitions of in ventions wijll -no doubt become a part of all futunrc expositions.
