Yhile he had been in bad health for years, . cougestive chili was the immediate ause of his death. The body arrived here ast Saturdaj* raorniug and the burial ook place at the cemetery at five o'clock he same afternoon. Dr. W. D. Rice, of )enmark,conducted the services. In aeordance with the wish of deceased, he ras buried in the Buist plot by the side f his sister, Emma. The Bamberg luards turned out in full uniform, with heir Hag, and escorted the body to the eraetery. As the grave was tilled three ollevs were fired over it and the bugle ilayed "taps," making the ceremony uutsually impressive. The funeral was argely atteuded. J. W. Rice had been a familiar figure n our streets for many years. He was mm ne:ir here, and was sixty years old t the time of his death. He was a stulent at the Citadel when the war broke at, and at once came home and enlisted ti the old Bamberg Guards, and went to he front with that command, being asigued to Hagood's regiment (first South -arolina.) He was made color bearer, and t the batttle of Fort Harrison received ive severe wounds, from which it was bought he would never recover. He ame home and never went back to the far, his wounds leaving him a physical rreck. He was a gallant soldier, and ad beeu a great sufferer for many years m account of the injuries received while alt lin g for his country. After the war ie engaged in the mercantile business in his town and did a large business. He ceumulated considerable property, but ailing health forced him to give upbusitess. In fact, he had been practically an ti valid for years, and when the writer irst saw him eleven years ago we did not elicve he would live six months longer. Mr. Rice was a member of the Baptist hurch, having embraced that faith early n life, and served his church for a long ime in the capacity of clerk. He leaves wo sisters: Mrs. E. B. Price and Mrs. F. I. Bailey, as well as many other relatives nd connections. He had made his home or the past twelve years with Mr. M. A. Ioye, his brother-in-law. The deceased was a good man, a good oldier, and a true Christian. He peroral ed every duty of life faithfully, livog up to a high standard of honor and niegrity. He was truly one of the heroes 'f the "lost cause," for the wounds reeivcd in battle caused the suffering rliich no doubt made life a burden to him hrough a long period. He*was never narried, and for this 110 doubt his phvsial condition was largely responsible. Working for a Pardon. An effort is being made to have Dan T. hmnclls, who was convicted of man-, laughter at the December term of court icre last year, pardoned by the governor. Ie killed \Y. G. Grimes while acting as narshal of the town of Govan in this ounty. Last Monday II. S. Dowling, ?sq., and several memoers 01 irunucji * amily went up to Columbia and hail an nterview with Governor McSweency in egard to granting the pardon. We clip he following from the Columbia corespondence of the News and Courier: "Mrs. Gunnells, accompanied by mem>ers of her family and her attorney, were n the city to-day. They came here seckug a pardon for Gunnells, who waseonicted of killing Mr. Grimes in Bamberg ounty. Governor McSweeney will take lp the case and consider all of the evilenee and facts, and it makes no material lifferenec that the family appeared in the ;ase."

The Orangeburg boys were confident of winning the game, but at the end of the ninth inning the score was eight to six in our favor. Both teams acquitted themselves well. The superb batting of our boys was the feature of the game, and the means of the victory. The batteries: Brunsou and Schiftley for Orangeburg; Myers, Crum, and Pearlstine for Brancliviile did splendid work. Another game will be played here on Thursday by the West Enders from Orangeburg.

On the night of the opening our progressive council will tender to the citizens an elaborate banquet This is an ideal hall and will be a model to the town. The citizens will present to the council a large and handsome city clock and bell which will be placed in front of the building. Then our friends in the neighboring towns can, as in former years, attend the balls and entertainments which will soon be given. Messrs F. W. Fairey, T. W. and W. M.

Owing to the improvement which have l>ecn going on in the past few years, the colored population and their houses, which are not usually attractive, have been constantly crowded from the midst of the town and the result is two well founded settlements situated on the outskirts, namely: Pleasant Hill and Prospect Avenue.

I have nothing to give you but advice. Never tell a lie. If you wish to put one in circulation, get it published. A lie cannot live, but it takes one a blamed long time to fade out of print. "Always read your contract. A man might consider he was getting a sinecure if he were offered a position picking blossoms off a century plant; but, you see, he wouldn't have a remunerative occupation if he were paid on piecework. "lie not overcritical. Even the most . ordinary sort of a genius can tell when the other fellow is making a fool of himself. "Remember that the young man, like the angler's worm, is rather better for being visibly alive. "Be careful in the choice of your surroundings. Environment will do a great deal for a man. For example, flour and water in a china Jug is cream sauce; in a pail on the sidewalk it is billstieker's paste. "Don't forget that there's a time for everything and that everything should be done in Its proper time. Never hunt for bargains in umbrellas on a rainy day. "You may make enemies. If you know who they are, don't mention them. Silence is golden. It saves the money that might otherwise be spent in defending a libel suit. If you don't know who they are?well, nbuse lavished on a concealed enemy is like charity indiscriminately bestowed. It's a good thing wasted."?New York Com merclal Advertiser. BEWILDERED SHOPPERS. Japanese Peasants Who Are Kept Track of by Labels. When the Japanese peasants get themselves up for a pilgrimage to a city for the purpose of laying In a stock of finery, they present the quaintest appearance Imaginable. The women generally tuck up their petticoats well above their knees, either leaving the legs bare or else swathing them in white bandages which form a kind of leggings. Their hair Is done in the usual elaborate Japanese style, and generally an artificial llower Is stuck in at the top. It does look comic to see the wizened face of an old woman with a large red nose hobnobbing over It. And this floral decoration Is not confined to the women. When you meet a party of pilgrims, you often see the old men also with a flower stuck coquettishly above the ear. At tfagano it appears that many of the poor old dears from the country got so bewildered by the magnificence of the places they go to and the distractions of shopping that they quite lose their heads and consequently their way. So the ever thoughtful Japanese police have insisted that every party of pilgrims is to have a distinguishing badge. At Nagano it was the commonest thing possible to see some ancient dame rushing about wailing: "Where is my party? Where is the purple Iris party?' or "Where is the yellow towel round the neck party?' And then she would be told that "yellow towel round the neck party" was on its way to the station or that the "purple Irises" were still saying their prayers In the temple. ?

Good for Bamberg. Mr. E. II. Priugle. President of the Bank of Charleston and Manager of the Ways and Means Department of the Exposition, has been doing tine work for the Exposition during the last three or four weeks, and yesterday received a subscription of! $100 from the town of Bamberg for stock in the Exposition Company. This is an indication of the splendid public spirit of the thriving town of Bamberg, and shows that the whole State is, or ought to be, directly interested in making the Exposition thoroughlv representative of every part of the State and of every interest in j the State. When people come to the Ex- j position and find out what counties have contributed to the building of the show) they will naturally be attracted to those counties which have had the business cense and enterprise to make their opportunities known. Men who have money to invest will go where there is an indication of enterprise and public spirit, and they will find an examination of the resources of Bamberg to their advantage.?
