His remains were accompanied
from Columbia by his brother,
Richard Bedon, and his niece. Miss
Mattie Izard, and were met at the
depot here by the following pall
bearers: Honorary—C G Henderson.
C D May, R H Wichman, E W
Fraser, J A Roger, L H Roger, Dr
John M Rlein, and Jas H Chaplin:
Active—G W O Rivers, B G Hyrne,
James E Pe\irifoy, W V Glover, A A
Patterssoh, F F Roger; who escorted
them to the Presbyterian church,
where the funeral services were
held by the Rev H J Cauthtn, of the
Methodist church, who, in his happy
manner, performed the same, both
at the chtfTeh and the grave. The
procession then wended its way
to.Live Oak Cemetery, followed by a
large concourse of sorrowing friends,
where he was interred.
Stobo Bedon was. in -many re
spects, a remarkable man. His
early life was spent at th«
TALK
whence he went to the battle held
in the war between the States.
Many honors were given him by
admiring friends l>oth in church and
State. For one or more terms he
was a member of the legislature.
His rehgous views were roost lib
eral, still his favorite Zion was the
Presbyterian, and for many years
he was a ruling elder in that church
here, and afterwards at the Corinth
church, and he gave much of his
time to tho church militant; especi-
|ally to Sabbath Schools. He was
! generous to fault, and gave liberally
1 to the deserving and to the poor.
The suavity of his manners was one
of the ornaments of his life, for he
j always found time for his friends,
and his fondness for saying some
thing pleasant was proverbial with
him. He lived and died unmarried.

UNION COTTON SELLING DAY.
Yesterday was the Fanners’
Union cotton selling day here and a
large number of farmers from the
surrounding country came to town
with their cotton, making the
largest day in the local cotton
market this year. The local buyers
paid a good price, and those who
sold are very much pleased at the
results following their cotton selling
days. The price paid for most of
this«otton was 12 79. a few bales
bringtngl2 80.

MAGISTRATE’S COURT-
Last Wednesday and Thursday
were busy days for Magistrate J. E.
Bryan.
The case was out of the ordinary.
It was not a case where Jim Jenkins
had|gotten drunk and drew a knife on
Joe Jones, such cases being common
in magistrate’s court.
The defendant, W. G. Jeffords,
a white man of Charleston, who last
fall bought a plantation near Green
Pond known as the “Means Place”
had built a dwelling house on said
place. He was charged with having
willfully and maliciously tom away
the brick from one side of the Bel
linger Graveyard, desecrating the
graves, or words to that effect. The
graveyard in question is located on
a plantation known as the “Poeasabo
Plantation’’, which joins the “Means
Place." This graveyard was en
closed by an 18 or 20-inch brick wall,
five feet high, built many years
before the Civil War.
The plaintiff, James M. Patterson,
Esq.,«of Allendale, who is a lawyer
of ability, conducted the prosecu
tion, assisted by Jos. M. Moorer.
The defendant was ably represent
ed by Messrs Jas. E. and D. B. Peu-
rifoy, who made a strong fight for
their client.
The plaintiff’s witnesses claimed that
Mr. Jeffords took the brick from the
wall and built chimneys to his new
house, knowing that he was dese
crating the graveyard.
Mr. Jeffrods claimed that The
Hadsey Lumber Co., who own the
“Poeasabo Plantation”, had given
him, Jeffords, tome bride which

hands over there for the brick, not

The Cellar Hole and the
Sewer Hole
By Herbert Kaufman.
A coal cart stopped before an office building in
Washington and the driver dismounted, removed the
cover from a manhole, ran out his chute, and pro
ceeded to empty the load. An old negro strolled over
and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man
glanced down anti immediately burst into a fit of
uncontrollable'* laughter, which continued for several
minutes. File cart driver looked at him in amusement.
“Say, Lncle,’’ he asked, “do you always laugh when
you see coal going info a cellar?” The negro sputtered
around tor af^w moments and then holding his hands
to his achifig socles managed to say, “.Vo, salt, but I
jest busts when I sec&st gout doivn a sewer."
The advertiser who displays lack of judgment in
selecting the newspapers which carry his copy often
confuses the sewer and the cellar.
All the money that is put into newspayx?rs isn’t
taken out again by any means. The fact that all pai>ers
possess a certain physical likeness doesn’t by any
means signify a similarity in character, and it’s character
in a newspaper that brings returns. The editor who
conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of
readers than the publisher who respects himself enough
to respect his readers.
What goes into a newspaper largely determines
the class of homes into which the newspaper goes. An
irresponsible, scandal-mongering, muck-raking sheet
is logically not supported by the buying classes of
people. It jnay be perused by thousands of readers,
but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised
goods.
It’s the clean-cut, steady, normal-minded citizens
who form the bone and sinew and muscle of the com
munity. It’s the sane, self-respecting, dependable
newspaper that enters their homes and it’s the home
sale that indicates the strength of an advertising -
medium. $
No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have
his wife and children brought in contact with the most
maudlin and banal phases of life. He defends them
from the sensational editor and the unpleasant adver
tiser. He subscribes to a newspaper which he docs not
fear to leave about the house.
Therefore, the respect a Vile newspaper can. always
be counted upon to produce more sales than one which
may even own a larger circulation but whose distribu
tion is in ten editions among unprofitable citizens.
You can no more expqct to sell goods to j)eople
who haven't money than you can hope to pluck oysters
from bushes.
It isn’t the number of readers "reached but the
number of readers whose purses can be reached that
constitutes the value of circulation. It’s one thing
to arouse their attention, but it’s a far different thing
to get their money. The mind may be willing, but the
pocketbook is weak.
If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert
land or a hundred acres of oasis, you’d select the
fertile spot, realising that the larger tract had less
value because it would be less productive.
