Breaks Many Wlndoa# and Turns Over Benchei .Spring Hill, Aug. 20.?The family of Mr. and Mm. J. R. Kirkley was disturbed about 11 o'clock Monday uight by loud noises and crashing of glass in St. J vim's Methodist church about 300 yards distant. Upon investigating, J. H. Kirkley and tho Rev. W. L. Parker, pastor of the church found that some one was in tiie church breaking the windows. Rural Policeman and R. D. Hancock were summoned and a seurdh was made, whereupon an insane negro, Frank Carter, was discovered in the cemetery behind the church preaching. The man told his natru* and said that he lived in Kershaw county near Swift Creek on Mrs. Zeigler's place. On examination it was found that all the windows on the west side of the church had been knocked out, several transoms over doors in the Sunday school rooms were shattered and several benches turned over. When Policeman Huncock questioned the negro as to why he had done this he calmly replied, "The Lord told me to do it. He's right here by my side." The negro then began preaching* praying and shouting and even lay on the ground pretending to swim and said he was "swimming in the Rrver Jordan." He soon got quiet, proved to be perfectly harmless and Mr. Hancock arrested him, took him to BiahopviUo and put him in the county jail. The damage to the church is estimated at $100.

Boy Has'Narrow Escape ** Master W. W. Horton, little son 0* ?Mrf,,:Eva Horton, who is atooht eight ^fohrs old, was sitting astride the | balustrade surrounding the porch of the second story of their-'home last wsole, when he in some way lost his balAnce and fell to the ground below. He - was picked up unconscious a Ad remained in that state for some tirof? but returned to consciousness and ft was found upon examination that he had sustained no serious injury beyond, a terrific jar and severe bruises. His..escape from more serious injury, or death perhaps, Was due no. doubt to the fact that, as he explained to his mother afterward, as he wgs falling he caught hold of the eaves of the porch extension and, while unable to hold tight enough to i prevent falling, the force of the fall was broken thereby and he probalbly hit on* his feet when he struck below. The little fellow is doing very well -fottowing- his-very narrow escape.-^Kershaw Era.

A. 1). McArn, who is away on his vacation in Tennessee, tne Kev. Jesse C.'. Rowan, former pastor of this church, came down from Concord, N. C., to officiate. Kev. Mo I Arn could not reach here in time on I account of crippled railway service. A large crowd of relatives and I friends from this section and other parts of tiie slate tilled the church. A choir composed of Messrs. W. Go i Wilson, Clifton McKam, R. C?" Zemp" I and Mesdantes. U. C. Welsh, J. B. I Zemp, and K. C. Zemp furnished the I music at the church ami at the grave.

Walsh, Jr. A great mass of beautiful flowers, sent Dy friends near and far, were carried to the cemetery on a tire department truck, to be placed on his grave. William Henry Rearce Henry Pearce wouldn't want a fulsome eulogy, with the usual banalities written aibout him at his passing. He wasn't that sort of a man. Ho had his faults, and what man, worthy of the appellation has not? But it can be truly said that his faults were all on the surfaee, while many of his virtues were hidden underneath. We want to speak of him as we saw him and as we knew him. In disposition he was retiring and modest to a fault. He was the soul of honor. No higher compliment could be paid 'his intfgrity than the fact that in all these years no whisper was ever heard affecting his character. Strictly just and impartial, he counseled well before coming to a decision, but after the decision was made he stood firm thereon, oftert even to the point of sternness. To his friends he was most, strongly attached, and he bound bhem to him with hoops of steeL His home Ufe was beautiful, in the love and tender kindness showered upon his wife. Without children to divide his affection, it was centered upon her. By his neighbors and those with whom he came in daily contact he was held in the highest esteem. Kind in his deportment and generous in his dealings he held their esteem and regard always. To his equals he was pleasant and dbliging, and no person, "white or black, or however lowly, but to whom he was gracious and kind. ^ . Public spirited he was, giving unjffintingly of his fctane, his talents and 41 his means to any project calculated to be for the piiblic good. His year? of service in the city Council was marked by has zeal for the promotior of Camden and the interests of it* citizens. In the affairs of the County, his counsel was often sought, and always, his quiet spoken advice re flqcted a livejy and intelligent interest in the welfare of its people. He was punctual in the discharge of all of his Church duties, and while he took no part in doctrinal discussions he was the sort of man who tc our mind inculcates the highest principles of philosophy and religion. A useful life has ended. Cut down in the glory of his manhood and in the midst of his service, he sleeps 'neath Kershaw's sod,?and manj there are who mourn the death ol him "Who lived in the house by th< side of the road and was a friend t( man." ... . 1 Doctor Lured ,To His Death ' <m Pittsburgh, Aug. 21.?Lured from hia office in Carrick, a suburb, last night, ostensibly to minister to a sick woman, Dr. Harry R. Dapper, 30, prominent physician, was shot to death, according to the physician's father, by a man who escaped in the doctor's car. Henry J. Dapper, BB, the father, who accompanied his son and the unidentified stranger on the trip, was slugged across the head with a blackjack. He is in a hospital, where his son died early today from a gunshot wound. Police were mystified by the killing because of the fact that the young physician has no known enemies they - were at a loss to ascribe a motive.?
