Thursday morning the case of J. S. Breeland against J. C. Breeland and L. W. Ritter was taken up. The jury found a verdict in favor of the defendant. Then the case of Annie E. Hart/.og against the County Commissioners of Bamberg county was taken up. This is the case which grew out of the opening up of a new road from Denmark to Hightower's mill. The county board awarded $125 as compensation to Mrs. Harzog for her land, and she appealed to the Circuit Court. The jury gave her two hundred dollars as compensation.

C. E. Burts, For Committee. William Duncan Rice. Rev. W. D. Rice, D. 1)., died at his home at Denmark, S. C., Monday morning, December 0. The news of the death of this beloved brother was a great shock; although we were apprised of his critical illpess by a postal card from Bro. C. E. Burls, received only a few hours before the telegram which announced his death. We missed him at the Convention, where we heard of his illness. Resolutions of sympathy were ollered and the secretary was instructed to write him assuring him of the sympathy of his brethren, but none of us knew at the time of his serious condition. He had grip, and a weak heart brought on the end. Bro. Rice was for many years one of the most prominent figures among the Baptists in the State. He was a regular attendant at the meetings of his Association thp St.nt.tt Donvnntion. and the South em Baptist Convention. He was always in heartiest accord with his brethren, and in full sympathy with all the Baptist work in his State and of the Southern Baptist Convention. He was never a complainer, or fault-finder. He was cheerful, took a cheerful, hopeful, happy view of tilings, loved to encourage his brethren and was always ready with tongue and pen, means and influence to help on every good work. He loved his brethren, and was worthy of the fullest confidence and the highest respect of all the people. He was wise, prudent, conservative, consecrated, a man of personal magnetism, and he lived a life of purity and godliness, above reproach, and died leaving behind him an [ enviable record, as a good minister of | Jesus Christ. Bro. Rice was born in Barnwell county, I and spent much of his life very near [ where he was born and reared. He received collegiate education at Columbian University, Washington, I). C., graduating in the A. B. and A. M. courses. From this same institution he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity a few years ago. He was pastor at Sumter, Society Hill, of churches in Newberry county, and for many years of churches in Barnwell county. He was loved by the people wherever he was pastor, and in many homes today there is sincere grief and sorrow as the news is told of the death of this good man?a friend, a brother, a counsellor, a pastor of so many people in so inanv different places. Bro. Rice was loved and honored by his brethren. He was for several years a member of the board of trustees of Fur man University and of the Greenville Female College. He was faithful to the trust, and attended the meetings regularly. lie was president of the State Convention three years, and lie was a good presiding officer, quick, firm, impartial, courteous. He was moderator of the Barnwell Association for a number of years, being moderator at the time of his death. In all of these positions, and in every position lie was called upon to fill, he was faithful and true, and never conducted himself in any way calculated to weaken the confidences his brethren had reposed in him. His brethren will miss him. He has so long been a familiar figure in our gatherings, a friend and brother whose very presence was a jov, whose words were so cheerful and helpful, that we cannot realize that we shall not look upon his face again, and never more hear his kind and loving words. Almost as a father we loved him, and he was as dear and as close as a brother. There are loved ones in the home whose loss we cannot measure. For many years the partner of his joys and sorrows walked by his side, and sons and daughters grew up around them, and today the wife and mother and children await the sound of footsteps they will never hear again, nmt tlwv miss the lovino* words that can V" V.J ? o never be spoken again. Mrs. Rice was a (laughter of the late Rev. Noah Graham of Sumter. She and her children will have the loving sympathy of many hearts throughout South Carolina in their great sorrow. The Courier will sadly miss Bro Rice. He was a true, devoted friend.? Baptist Courier. The daily papers of Sunday morning publish a dispatch from St. John's, New Foundland, to the effect that Signoi Marconi has at last succeeded in sending - wireless telegraph}' signals across th< Atlantic ocean, a distance of 1,700 miles " Signor Marconi had been working on tin ' experiment for several months. Tin signals were very primitive, consisting merely of three dots or short strokes indicating the letter us;" but scientist! 1 everywhere regard the feat as of remark '; able significance. They say that it wil i be only a matter of a short time befor< ?! wireless telegraphy across the ocean wil - I be as practicable as for short distances 01 land.

Reynolds says the Charleston Exposition is a big skin game, as there is nothing there to see, but a few union men working 011 buildings. It will be at least three months yet before it will be worth going to see. Mr. N. P. Murdaugh has moved his family in town. Mr. I. D. Copeland is in Charleston this week. Our depot agent, Mr. W. P.

This may seem belated, but the longer we put it off the more constrained we are to send it. How* we miss our genial young friend; how glad we always were when we met her! She -welcomed her friends with a happy smile of recognition that always remained a bright spot in our memory. Each and every one of us are a link in the mighty chain of humanity. Why the smith, at his anvil, would* break that beautiful, shining link and leave our memories bruised, sore and sad, will ever remain one of the mysteries in the furnace of time and circumstances. We know she was not strong and robust, but little did we think we were watching the Sun of Life set behind the coldness and loneliness of the tomb. "Thus it is with things of life, The flowers on which we smile, They blush and bloomBut only for a while." Life is made up of chords and discords. Happy is the performer that makes only concords. Our little friend was a fine performer; words so well chosen, deeds so well done that she will ever remain to her friends one of the good and true. For us she will linger like the pathos of some tender, almost forgotten song. But there was another visitor?he came on October 8th. That visitor was death! The sun had gone, the hour of the gloaming had past, the darkness came on, and with it the icy fingers of the grim monster closed tighter and tighter "around my young friend's heart! "There is a reaper whose name is Death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between." Romorseless, relentless monster IJWhen we least expect it he reaches in with his sickle keen and reaps the flowers, leaving the thorns of pain and sorrow. Farewell, kindly remembered friend. As we glide along life's stream we will be made happy, more than once, a-> we glance back with a wistful eye to see thee basking on one of memory's greenest hills. Friend. Death of Dr. V. D. Dice. The sad news reached Sumter by telegraph last Monday of the death of Dr. W. D. Rice at Denmark. During the session of the Baptist Convention at, Florence, last week, the news came that Dr. Rice was sick and unable to attend the meeting; but no one was led to attach much importance to the statement, supposing that he was only suffering from some passing ailment. Dr. Rice was one of the leading men in the Baptist church of the State. For two years, and up to the session of the Convention which met last week in Florence, he presided over that body to the satisfaction of all his brethren. He was genial in his manner and wise in his methods, and won to him many loving friends in all sections of the country. He was pas tor in Sumter from 1855 to 18(50, and was the first stated preacher in the old church which the Baptists are now about to vacate. lie was also pastor, during his subsequent life, at Society Hill and in Newberry county, notably at Bush River Church in that county. For more than twenty years, he has had his home at Denmark, and has been preaching to churches in Barnwell county, where he was, for many years consecutively, the moderator of the Baptist Association of churches in that section. He served as a trustee of Furman University, and was a > faithful attendant upon all the meetings of the board. He was about seventy-two ; years old at the time of his death, and - goes hence to his final account bearing the esteem of the brethren and the grate ful thanks of many whom he has served in the ministry. He married Miss Julia \jrI uu.iui, <i outti wi uui iuii it , jii J Graham?Sumter Watchman and South ron. r South Carolinian in Trouble. } Ottlmwa Iowa, I>ecember 10.?Georg< D.

Dubose's alleged crime wa ^ discovered by Michael Levish, of Chicago 1 j who came here three weeks ago to til 1' Dubose's place while Dubose was ill. Du hose's home is in South Carolina, when he has excellent connections. i - 1 A Cincinnati woman requested he ;, pastor to pray that she might win th >. man she loved. If the effort succeed o ! that pastor will have a rush of busines I as soon as the facts leak out. I JlcLaurin's Law Office. | Greenville. December 14.?In a dispatch to the Greenville News to-night Senator John L. McLaurin denies that he will take up his residence in Washington and A quit politics in South Carolina. He says he has formed a law partnership with F. ? L. Wells, of Washington, for the purpose of keeping in touch wtili his profession, and that his public duties demand that he should have an office in Washington. Aged Lady Ruined to Death. Edoefiki.d, December 10.?Mrs. Frances Ryan, a prominent lady of this town, was burned to death this morning. The first thing known of the sad tragedy was the finding of her charred body lying near the hearth of one of the rooms of her house by her son-in-law, Capt. Balinger. She was advanced in years, and the supposi- . . t;rt? ;? tint camr wav she fell into the | I fire and before help could be had >lie was | I | burned almost beyond recognition. j I Reflections of a Bachelor. J Every woman shudders to think where her husband would go when he dies if she didn't pray for him the way she does. The reason men can forgive girls for not trying their best to do so many other things is they do their best to look the prettiest they can. The woman who will spend an hour daily cold-creaming her face and doing the rest wonders how a man can bear to waste ten minutes every morning shaving. You can repair worn out loves, but you can't restore them. If there were no other reasons for it, it would be enough to bless women be cause they are not men. There is something wrong with the woman who sometimes doesn't love the man she loves as she would love a little child. The man never lived who could make a woman see that store eggs can be as fresh as those of her own hens if they were laid later.?New York Press. Fun in the Parlor. London Tit-Bits: When you see a young man sitting in a parlor with the i ugliest 4-year-old boy that ever frighten- ( ed himself in a mirror clambering over his knees, jerking his necktie out of place, " ruffling his shirt front, pulling his hair, kicking his shins, feeling in all his pockets for coppers, while the unresisting victim smiles all the time like the cover of a comic paper, you may safely say that the howling boy has a sister who is in a room not 20 feet away, and that the young man . doesn't come there just for the fun of playing with her brother.

HOLDING THE WOLF BY THE EARS That's what you are doing if you ignore our saving in Buggies, Wagons, Harness, Whips, etc., as compared with those of other people. As soon as your strength gives out or rather you are closed out, you will sec your disaster. But why take such chances ? You get no better goods from others by paying more than you need pay us. On the contrary, you are more likely to get an inferior article, for .we are very particular as to the material that goes into our BUGGIES, WAGONS, HARNESS, etc., while we keep the manufacturer up to the highest standard of workmanship, below which he knows he cannot go. It is not so long since we opened up business here, but to look at our sales, you would think we were the only people in this country selling Buggies, Wagons Harness, etc. Let us hold the wolf for you.
