Never lin ve we before been called upon to chronicle so sad and de plorable an event as tbat which hus cast over our town and county and even our state a cloud of sorrow, in the sudden death on Saturday morn ing December 31st, 1904, of Hon. CHAS. S. MCCALL, at lu's home on Darlington street formerly known ?is the Dr. Julius Jennings r?sidence at half-past 7 o'clock. Ho had been sick for a week before, but was con valescing so rapidly, that he expres sed Iiis intention early that morning of going down to his store before noon. Calling hi? faithful nurse, lu- gave orders Tor an oyster soup for his breakfast, saying tbat lie would take a little nap before rising, and, alas, it was to the sleep of death. The news of his death was a shock to the entire town. There was a choked feeling of "hush," as one after another passed the word. A gloom of sadness settled over the town. Stores and business houses I dosed their doors ami "thc mourn ers went about the streets." lt will take days, even months for us to realize that lie is dead, and that we shall never more see him in his ac customed place of business or hear his voice again in words of cheer or counsel. Although near 62 years of age, lu: was in good health up to a few days before his death, when he re turned from tho long trip to thc cotton growers convention down in Shreveport, La., during that severe spill of weather thc week before Christmas. But God, in Hi? wis dom, luis seen lit to cull him from eartli lo heaven, and wc bow in li unible submission to His will. Au aged mother, two brothers and four sisters survive him. l?e w?S a men1 ll >r nf tho fnmons Hampton Legion, and served to the rinse of tlie war, making a record that was an honor to himself and family. This in a measure accounts for his great interest in thc Hamp ton monument, and at the time o? his death was chairman of the state commission. He was prominently identified with every movement looking tu the upbuilding of his county and state. At tin- time of his death he was state senator, county chairman, commander ol'Camp Hencgan, sec retary and treasurer ofthat portion .A' the old C. F. A- Y. V. Ry. known as the S. C. Pacific Ry., ami also ? member of the executive committee of the state agricultural society. Foi many years he served thc town as i been our next Governor. As a man and a citizen it can hi truly said of him that Iiis modera tion, his sincerity and reserve, tin pure conscientiousness of his nature his desire to help the public ami not himself would arouse the ethical enthusiasm of thc hardest cynic. His modesty was a camile to his merit, Truth was his in all its candor. His heart heat with a virgin earnestness, Ile was as honest asa sunbeam, and it grieved him sorely when things went wrong around him. C?o where you will in this county ?ind you will lind monuments ol praise to his lib erality ami enterprise. He was the li est hanker Marlboro ever had, and the first to write Insurance. As a fanner he was a grand suc cess, as all his farms attest. Perfect drainage and diversified crops were his plana for success. Most of his farms are self-sustained. He planted full crops of corn, and planned for '250 lbs. of pork to each plow hand. Besides these he raised bountiful crops of peas, potatoes, syrup, tur nips and cabbage, for farm use and the town trade. All of his farms ucrc supplied with pumps, and two of them with artesian wells. Not many knew that he hail also started a large cattle farm or ranche on om- of the finest ranges in the county supplied with good water ami line pasturage. On this ranche he had also started a game preserve, where wild turkeys, deer, quail, pheasants and other game, could multiply in abundance. Ile too was a friend to the poor ami helpless-even the birds lound a friend in this noble hearted niau, for when the weather was very severe and the ground covered with snow shutting oil' their supplies of food, lu; would send men out with rakes and bags of grain to provide them with sustenance. Shelter and bod was richly provided on all his arms for every living thing. His lile was a beautiful ono, always villing and ready to contribute Inspart . i making mankind better. His linnie ?fe was a model in hi? devotion to liiy iged motlier, brothers and nephews. The quiet, unostentatious lifo of the ootl mini may not be chronicled ami nzetted while he discharges hid daily utica, but it is sure to be felt and ppreeiated by those among whom it spent. Thu lives of such men teach y example, day in and day ont, and raw men to them because in them enseca sincerity and an honesty int never fails anil that no tenipta )ii call shake. Tho wicked re.-pect id the righteous love such n man. very home and every heart is open him. Ilia kind words and his good ? eds lull upon willing ears and touch mon ai ve hearts because of the meek (I gentle spirit with which they nre (?ken and performed. His inlluenee - good cannot be computed. His ample of right living ia taken upi one and transmitted to another. It j .roes on moulding and fashioning tim liveB of others The lives of such men ?re a benediction to any community. Bennettsville had and lost mich a blessing in the noble lifo and lamen ted death of its beloved citizen Col. CHAS. S. MCCALL.. The above was written last week but was crowded out for want of space.

Mr. Editor-About the yeal 1840. there lived a man near in j home that was so un fortunate as [ to get a fall and break some ol . his ribs. When he found ''he could not make it," he set ut ' and sung these words : "O bless the Lord, I can rise und tell the wonders of Emanuel." Then the' old mun would grunt umph ! Then lie would sing again. Well, now, if I had not lal hm loday perhaps I never won lt! have remembered the man wlto got his ribs broken. I was out cutting today on a tree that had fallen across my fence about live feet from the ground. 1 thought that I would step off of tho tree on the top rail of the fence, not knowing that it was broken by the [all of the tree, an : down I went to the ground in the fence corner with axe in hand audit very sharp. 1 did not. getcut with it, but, by the fall I got hurt as 1 thought on the spur of the moment, bul 1 grunted awhile and rubbed 11tt bruised parts and then lound out that I was not so seriously hurt. I then sorter raised np and looked around to see if any one was looking at me and laugh ing. I hiy down again and rub bed some mort! and then I hap pened to Ihink ol* lin* mun w ho fell and broke his ribs and the words he sung, and i urst forth in laughter, then picked up my axe anet went to cutting again, glad enough that 1 was not hurt any more. So some time I will come to town and call and sing the oki man's tune for yon, pa3' my subscription and go boni?'. J o KL COVINGTON.
