He was sent to a pub- ] lie health service hospital in Phila- ( delphia, where he grew steadily worse end died within a f-^w weeks.

B* Negroes Examine Coffin and Find An- 1 other Person. - * Bowman, April 29.?There was an unusual incident in this section a day < or two ago as to the bringing of the 1 body of a supposed young negro man of this section fon burial at one of the colored churches near town. Roforo the .body was interred, however, the coffin was examined and when opened 1 1 it was discovered not to be the supposed body of the man sent from the 1 Columbia Asylum here for burial, and ( indignation ran high for a while, the body being that of an old man not recognized by any one and it was promptly returned to the asylum authorities in Columbia. Much excitement followed the incident when the | mistake was discovered. B Thm K?r*U, $S.M jmr. Remembered or Forgotten Which? "Shall I be remembered after I am gone " is a question that comes to every man. That it comes often and clamors for an answer is evidenced by the many ways in which men have ever endeavored to perpetuate the memory that once they lived and labored and loved. The age-old query of Job, "If a rv,o-n riic choii h0, live asrain?'' finds iiiu.il u iu k/aamaa ^ its counterpart in the question "If a man die shall he live again?" finds The fear of sinking forever into oblivion has its foundation in the fact that the departure even of the great leaves hardly a ripple on the ocean | of time. The grave is banked with dowers, soon to fade and crumble into dust; the mourners and friends turn away and return to the old paths of life; the world moves on?and forgets. True, in the fond heart of parent or child there will linger for years a memory of face and form, but ere long that heart too will be stilled and ?who remembers then? This longing for earthly mortality finds expression in many ways. Each of us would be remembered for the virtues we possessed and for the good ve may have done. The polished shaft or simple slab in every cemetery attests this fact. Over faults and frailties the mantle of charity gently falls while virtues are carved in the rock. A world conqueror desires to be remembered, not for the blood he shed, but for the good he did, and so with means gathered at the point of the sword lie Dunas a cuy ana gnco it his name. A Carnegie carves his nam? in stone over the doors of the many libraries his wealth makes possible. A Lawson pays a florist $50,000 to name a carnation for his wife, md whenever Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson pink decorates a bride or a bier, its marvelous beauty recalls her for whom it was named. Lord Raglan would long ago have been a memory, is evanescent as the cloud that float!n last year's sky were it not for the garment that bears his name. Who pould have told in a year's time the name of the hero, for hero he was, who gave his life that the Atlantic might be wedded to the Pacific, if our president had not changed the name pf Culebra to G-aillard cut? And thus t goes, man longing for his name to [iv? and striving to find some way in which to perpetuate it. Another desire of the human heart s that the good which a man does ;hall live after he is gone. Of course it is known in a general way that inluenc? never dies, but the mind reams for something tangible' with which continue that influence. In )rder to gratify this commendable deire men have endowed charitable and )ther institutions so that their money will continue to work after they have passed to the great beyond. The gratifying of both these desires s within the range of possibility for ome of the eitizens of Bamberg. Your lame or the names of your loved rnes need never be forgotten and un:o!d thousands will rise up and call *ou blessed for the good you will do jven to the end of time. The educaion movement gives you the oppor ;unitv of erecting a memorial at uarisle school that will keep green the nemory of loved ones and also make in investment in the character of the roung men who will be the leaders of omorrow. The new auditorium to be erected jught to bear the name of some fami.y or person. The rooms in the new lormitory should bear the names of ;hose whose memory we would like to perpetuate. If you are desirous of aaving a part in this worthy enterprise ask for an intedview with Rev. W. J. Snyder and he will gladly furlish the information in regard to the letails.

''There is now and will be absolutely no loss to the bank. "The whole matter is being handled by the national bank examiner and the shortage has been adjusted and the bank's interests fully protected satisfactorily to him." CRIME BOOMS SAVINGS. Ohioans Pear ro Carry Money and the Banks Profit. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." The oft-discussed crime wave that has swept Columbus and every other municipality in the country has had one good result. We don't refer to th? land office business done by burglary insurance ' companies, or to the increased sales of revolvers by stores, or to the fact that folks aren't staying out so late at night. It has done all these, but it has also stimulated the saving habit among people. Banks in Columbus and elsewhere I in Ohio report substantial increases in their savings deposits. During the nasf vpar thp ?ain has hppn unusual ly large. One of the causes is the crime wave which has made folks afraid to carry large sums of money On their person or to keep their spare cash in an old sock hidden in a trunk, beneath mattresses or some other place never overlooked by thieves.?Columbus Dispatch.
