Second place was won by J. C. Reid of Erskine college, whose oration was on "America's Debt to the World," and third was captured by G. A. Byrd of the ? ** ~ * i t. J. I C ollege 01 unaneston, wnose suujeci was. "The Workshop of America." Other entrants who participated in the content were, Frank Fitzsimmons of WofFord college; W. M.

Mr. James Mat'nias Bowers died at his heme in Boundary street on Friday morning at 4:15 o'clock, after a lingering illness of Bright's disease. He was confined to his bed for ten days during his last attack, although his health had not been good for some time. The few days preceding his death were days of alternate dread and anxiety on the part of family and friends. * One moment hearts 1 11 ? iU f Kot were gladdened dv me uiuu^r vii?? he was rallying, only to be saddened the-"next by the reflection that the end was surely drawing near. The hope for his restoration was strong from the fact that his devoted physician. Dr. W. 0. Houseal, had once before seen him through a critical illness, and bright was the faith that the \sick father and husband would again be spared to the anxious wife and children. But an over rul;ng Providence had ordered otherwise. However, he is only gone on before, as among the last words spoken to his life companion were that she would meet him on the other shore; for "As surely as Christ died and rose again, those whom life nor - untk from Him shall be re-j stored to ore another." T1 ^ immor-[ tal words spoken long aires ago for th? comfort of ail who believe are. j "He shall not come to me hut I shall j go to Him.'' One bv one familiar forms are I passing, one bv one our friends are i i crossing1 to the Land of Peace. In j the death of ?.Ir. James M. Bowers a ! happy home circle has been broken, a ! loving husband and father taken from his devoted family. The community knew how fcea\_ful was the family; love of our absent friend and his i children. His love of home and the i ties that bound him there could not> possibly be excelled by mortal man. i And another of his fine traits was that he spoke no evil of his fellow men. When impaired health had necessitated his withdrawal from the circle of friends with whom he was accustomed to minjrle in the city, he was satisfied to sit at home and remain i auietly with those nearest and dear- j e=t to him: and it was especially m j :be later years of hi? life, when sons I .wre oriLMired in business and daucrh- i orj o:r ^achi-2 >?hooI. that his crreat i icve grew more tender and entwined' itself even more gently around the wife who was the sweatheart of his happy young manhood in the days that have gone by. 'And the same devotion on the part of each accompanied them along the pathway of their married life, without a break in ' > ? - ? 1 i. ine cnain 01 peace uiiu luuiciiuiicnin ? It was in such a home that death entered early on Friday morning. Mr. Bowers was the spn of the late A. M. Bowers. His mother was the daughter of the late Mathias^arre, all former well known people of Xewberry county, where the deceased had spent his life. He is survived by his widow, who before marriage was Miss Lydie Sparks. His surviving sons and daughters are, Mr. James A. Bowers of Atlanta, Mr. Olie B. c>f ritv. Miss Ethel Bowers, a teacher in the city schools cf Newberry, and Miss Clara Powers, teaching in the Kershaw schools. He is also survived by three grandsons: James, Frank and Charles, and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. James A. Bowers of Atlanta, besides a number of other relatives.

Beautiful wreathes and other floral emblems from Atlanta and Greenville and elsewhere were offered. And in the qi etness of t)ae holy Sabbath afternoon, the still body of James Jtf.

Little Minnie Bell Banks, who was nine years old Sunday, died on Thursday evening at ^usk, after lingering six weeks and one day since receiving her fatal burns, and was buried on 'Friday afternoon at the Cannon Creek Mission churchyard, at 4:30 o'clo'ck, service by Rev. J. A. MeKeown, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Leon Pressly of "McCormick and Rev. J. W. Carson of Newberry, the burial being attended by citizens of this city as well as the surrounding neighborhood, so great was the inter est that ha/1 been shown in this most remarkable case. Minnie Bell was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. C. Banks. She was conscious to the time of her death and just before the end came told her loved and Joving that she was dying. The attending physicians. Dr. F. D. Mower and Dr. J. K. Wicker, were most fa::iiful and painstaking in alleviating the !Ir:gvrin?r a crony of the little sufferer. their skill prolonging the life of the dreadfully burned child beyond ' the .'limit for the survival of such cases, hut her death at last showed that her recovery was impossible, although from time to time the family and friends thought with hope that they saw .some slight improvement in her condition. But "it is well with the child." Had she lived she would have been a nervous wreck. Her little emaciated form is now at rest, free of pain and uneasiness, and the frail body lies peacefully in the grave where it was tenderly 'placed to await the eternal dawn.
