Mills, Georgetown county, passed
away at his home near Pawley's Is
land Un Tuesday at 1 o'clock after
an illness of two months, at the aye
of ti(i years.
His death is a distinct loss to the
community in which he had lived all
his life, and to the entile county.
In many ways he wan a remarkable
man, public spirited and generous, an
affectionate husband and father, and
a kind and helpful neighbor.
"NiKor many years he has operated
a successful canning factol-y, whoso
brands commanded a ready market
everywhere, and bottled goods, such
as catsups, and other condiments,
which are in general demand on ac
count. of their iare quality of ex
cellence. Under the firm name Vof
I.. ('. Lachkottc & Soos he also car
ried on a large mercantile business
near Puwley'a Island, and many of
those who have visited that famous
island resort in past years, will hear
with real sorrow of the passing of
this always genial and whole
souled gentleman.
Although a very hard working and
practical, man, a born mechanic, he
did not neglect the educational side
of life. He was a great reader and
kept fully abreast of all current

Prominent Sumter Man Dead
Sumter, March 15.?Rfchard Baker
Belser, one of the most useful citi
zens of Sumter, passed away at the
Tuomey Hospital last evening at 7
o'clock, after a gallant fight for his
life for the past four weeks. His
xioath brought a, feeling of deep sad
ness to the community, where it had
^t&bp A f^cxpectei
'that he would recover, despite his
long critical illness.
Mr. Belser was first taken ill just
five weeks ago when returning from,
a business trip ot McClellanville. It
was thought at the time he was suf
fering from ptomaine poisoning from
eating oysters, t and he was treated
for this. After a partial recovery he
suffered a relapse, and it was found
that he was suffering with a severe
case of appendicitis. An operation
was decided on, but the disease had
reached an advanced stage, and his
condition even before the operation
was pronounced critical. For four
weeks he fought for his life, and with
a strong constitution and his confi
dence that he would recover, aided
with surgical skill, it was thought
that he would pull through. But sev
eral backsets came and, despite all
that could be done for him, it was
seen in the last few days that he
was gradually growing weaker and
could not long continue unless there
was a decided turn for the better.
Instead, a turn came for the worse
last night, after which he gradually
grew weaker until the end.
