D. Bronson. 1 r Dr. B. D. Bronson died at his home in c this city last Saturday night about ten y o'clock, after a long illness. He was forty- j seven years old, and leaves a wife and two y children. The burial took place Sunday j afternoon at Restland cemetery, the ser- ^ rices being attended by a large number of ^ Friends and relatives of the family. Rev. r. G. Herbert conducted the services, and Rev. S. W. Danner pronounced the beneliction. The floral tributes were many ^ md beautiful the grave being literally rj ;overed with flowers. The pall bearers r vere: Dr. J. B. Black, J. D. Copeland, Sr., J Z. R. Brabham, Sr., H. C. Folk, Dr. J. J. z Ileckley, and Jno. H. Cope. P Dr. Bronson was born in Orangeburg 2 iounty, near Cope, and lived there for a ^ lumber of years. He was married to Miss ^ stella Kittrell. About twelve years ago he c noved to Bamberg, where he practiced Q lis profession and ran a drug store. Two p 'ears ago he moved to Ninety-Six, Green- o rood county, but soon aftej his health n iroke down and he went to Colorado 1< vhile his family returned to Bamberg. ^ lis condition improved after several 9 aonths, and last summer he came home, ? ut he grew worse and went to Arizona ^ ast fall. The climate did him no good q m this visit, and as he grew steadily worse ^ here, he returned home to end his last c: lays with his family and friends. He grew n reaker day by day until the end came, u 'hough tenderly and devotedly nursed by ^ lis wife and mother and skilfully attend- ^ d by his brother physicians, nothing CJ ould be done to arrest the fatal disease rhich had attacked him. It was our pleaare and privilege to know Dr. Branson' rell. He was a good man, and in our ^ ome as our family physician, he was as qj entle as a woman and as faithful as pos- 0] ible. Dr. Bronson did. not parade his c< irtues or his good deeds, but he al waysdid g rhat he conceived to be his duty to his fc rod and his fellow-man and said nothing b' bout it. He was a Mason and a Knight f Pythias, and had been a member of tie Methodist church for'many years, beig a member of the board of stewards of tie church here until he moved to Ninep-Six. He bore his sufferings with gi Christian fortitude, and through all his T ickness he did not murmur nor complain. &( le knew he could not recover, and pa- 0T iently awaited the final summons. As a ai hysician and citizen he was loved and espected, and his many^ friends are sad ver his death. ? . _ _ m Married in BlackvIUe. PJ Mr. J.

Tufesd, night of last week a negro named Williams brought another negro nar.j James Jefferson to Bamberg and hged him in jail. Jefferson was serious wounded, having been shot by William with a pistol. Williams claimed tha\Jefferson was a fugitive from justice i Alabama, being charged with miirHor " *" "txiat otdic. Jefferson wt ghot in the abdomen, and was attende by Dr. H. F. Hoover, the county physian, but he died last Saturday morninfebout seven o'clock. As soon as Willi&u heard of Jefferson's death. '^ertJfiflfiein ai\ surrendered to the sheriff, was put in j'-i and the sheriff of Orangeburg county stiffed, who sent a deputy for him last londay. He was carried to Orangeburg nd placed in jail to await trial at the Ma term of court in that county. The story of the affair ithat Williams claims to be a detective. le lives in the Hunter's Chapel section oithis county, near Branchville. He sayshe is a detective, and saw an advertisement offer, ing a reward of $200 for a escaped criminal from Alabama, and rom the description he spotted the Rev. ?efferson as the man. Jefferson lives in >rangeburg county, near Branchville, ad had lived there for a number of years We understand that he never went anywhere except to church without a^un, and it was concluded that he was a*ies perate character. Williams went to Magistrate Zeigtr it Hunter's Chapel and got a wdrrart for Jefferson, which h4 had endorsed b] the magistrate at Branchville, and then, iccompanied by Quillie Drawdy, awhit* nan, went to Jefferson's house to ar rest him. He called Jefferson out of hii louse, and when he attempted to make he arrest Jefferson resisted and he drey lis pistol. In the scuffle over the weap>n it was discharged, the bullet taking iffect as above stated. Williams is conident that he will be acquitted wher Tied, as he says he was only doing hif iuty when Jefferson was shot. On the other hand Jefferson and his vife testified that he was called out of lis house to the buggy, and when he tame out, Williams pointed the pistol at lim and shot him without any words, refferson's wife came here and nursed lim in jail until he died. Coroner Zeiger held an inquest Saturday, and the >ody was carried back to Branchville or burial. Coming flarriage. \ ' Invitations were issued this week ? */r_ ?J ?

J. B. Black. President. Bamberg, S. C., April 10,1908. Letter to J. B. Hunter, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell ninesnths of the paint of his town and reion; no use to try for the other tenth, he proportion of men, who won't take xxl advice, and use the least-gallons lint, is about one in ten among even vners of houses and stores and shops id barns and fences. One man in ten will buy a gold brick green goods, if he has the money and ?ts a good chance. Devoe at $1.75 a gallon is better than ild; adulterated and short-measure lints are green goods and gold bricks. Devoe saves half, more or less, of the bor and wages of painting; it is all lint; full strength and full measure, here is no other such paint within ten ir cent. Ten per cent of labor and lint is worth saving; and ten is the ast. There are scores of paints that irow-away half of both gallons and bor on whiting, china-clay, ground ;one, barytes, benzine, water?all they e good for is to make gallons of noth g and look like paint in the can; more allons to buy ana more gallons to pay >r putting-on?gold bricks and green x>as. Here's how they work. Judge I. D. Fairchild owns two houses cactly alike in Lufkin, Texas. J. H. orrencepaintedboth houses; one Devoe, $ gallons; the.other with another paint >ld at same price; 25 gallons. That 25 allon paint is weak and 15 per cent hiting; that's why it took 9J gallons ore.
