Columbia, March 8.?News was received in Columbia yesterday of: the death in Kingstree at 2:10; o'clock yesterday morning of the Rev. H. B. Browne, presiding elder i MothnHict Flnisronal church.! Ul IUC ?UVI."UU?UV ? He would have been 64 years old had he lived until July. The funeral and interment will take place at ^Florence at 11 o'clock this morning. Mr. Browne was for 39 years a member of the South Carolina conference, for 11 years a presiding elder, for 19 years on stations and for nine years on the circuit. He was a leader in the missionary work of the church and active in ts educational interests. A widow and two sons survive him. . i Henry Bascom Browne was born in Anderson county and was a pupil in Ebenezer school under the late C. C. Reed. He studied Latin in Columbia under Prof. McCartha. Most of his theological education was procured through Chautauqua correspondence courses. His first marriage was to Miss Mollie Moody, of{ Columbia. Mr. Browne was married in 1894 to Mrs. Maria B. Chase, of Florence. | Duncan's "Twentieth Century , Sketches" contains the following es, timate of Mr. Browne's character: "Mr. Browne has been an indefatigable worker, but has thriven nipon it. In pastoral work, he has strengthened the weak and comfOht ed the sorrowing and dying; in the pulpit he has been a faithful dispens-1 er of the word of life; as an organizer he has especially excelled. Faithful and painstaking, his work all along, whether in the pastorate or on the various conference boards, has been characterized by depth and thoroughness and has possessed a lasting quality, as his brethren will 1 testify. ... He is a manly man; he thinks along high lines and strives ' to reach high ideals." Finds Man in Fairfax Store. \ Fairfax, March 7.?A young white man who says his name is George O. Zile was caught by night Watchman Rabb about *11:30 o'clock last night in G. A. Sanders' store, having | broken through one of the glass windows in the front of the building.' The young fellow may have had an accomplice as Mr. Rabb was alone and had to take his prisoner to tlfe . lockup without having a chance for further search of the store. Mr. Rabb, while on his rounds, noticed one of the front windows was . broken "and went to the back door . to see if it was open and shook it and finding that it was locked he > waited a minute and the burglar opened the door and stepped out to [ find the muzzle of Mr. Rabb's gun ,looking him in the face. He submit, ted to arrest and said he had come . to Fairfax from Savannah. He had . $15 in cash on his person but noth[ ing else of value. The young man is of small statue, being about five feet, six -inches tall, dark complexion and i weighs about 125 pounds. Being intervied by a correspond; ent, he said he was 17 years of age i and that he came here from Savanj nah but refused tovtell where he was born or lived prior to that time, i There has been a number of rob> beries of stores here within the last i few months that baffled the police I force and it was a surprise when this young man, who is a stranger, was caught in the very act. Although he says he is only 17 years of age he looks older. i Our dreams carry us in carriages,!

Watson, who is under treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, in the last issue of the Southern Christian Advocate, will be of interest to the friends of -the doctor in Bamberg county: A wise physician is one of Heaven's greatest blessings on earth. Such a physician hurried me off to Dr. Unrlr^?. T.I T-T . . ljcli rvci, ui jonns tiopKins hospital. For a long time, while able to work, pain had been a constant companion. Why suffer it always? Why guess at it when by God's gift in Christ, specialists may know and possibly cure? Dr. Barker made a rigid examination, then divided the man up into sections and put a specialist on each. No lurking enemy could escape. Each man knew his business and each man not only demonstrated the exact; science of his department but proved himself a gentleman. The examination that, revealed the trouble was a painful process of three hous on the* table without anaesthetic that left the patient (?) unable to crawl away and kept him four days in the hospital. Then Dr. Barker assembled the "pieces," made his final diagnosis, and recommended four week's treatment under Dr. J. T. Goraghty, clearly stating the alternative of years of suffering with probabilities all along the way, not pleasant to contemplate. Needless to say I am taking the treatment, and Dr. Goraghty reports most favorable response to treatment, with assurance of complete restoration within a few weeks. It is hard to be away so long from home, from a part in the work in South Carolina, from the loyal people of Bamberg, for whom and with whom it is a joy to work, but all is easy in the hope of being able to soon to lay hold again with new vigor. W. B. Wharton is here also. An exact diagnosis in his case had not been-reported up to yesterday, but we believe they will reach the exact trouble and apply the remedy. Baltimore is agog with the preparation of the coming of Billy Sunday. The tabernacle is a mammoth affair, ....Ll. X - AA AAA uityauie ui seating some ^u,vuu people. . It was crowded for the dedicatory service on Sunday last. Thfe services were stately and impressive. It was good to hear the voice of our own Bishop Wilson sound clearly and tenderly in benediction over the vast assemblage. "Billy" was not there, but comes to open as two or three month's campaign on next Sunday.' He is the best advertised individual just now in America, at least so far as Baltimore ife concerned. I have preconceived ideas concerning Mr. Sunday,, but shall strive .to give him an unprejudiced hearing. A great city in which you are a visitor has so many hundred thousand population plus you.
