Capers, of the Pro HKpal Diocese of SoUtW ^Klicd last Wednesday after PP^'d 21st, at 2 o'clock at his Wome in Columbia, and was buried ' in the Trinity church yard at 12.30 p^dock Friday, the funeral services being con*' ducted by Rishop W. A. Guerry, for merly Bishop Co-Adjutor. An immense crowd attended the last rites over the body of the beloved prelate, many vis iting clergymen of all denominations being present. Bishop Capers has been in feeble health for some time past and had suf fered attacks before which caused fears ibr his recovery. His death, though not unexpected, was a great shock to many thousands of people who knew and loved him. The church mourns^nm and the State has lost a valuable citi zen. Below is given a sketch of the Bish op's life: "' Brigadier General Ellison Capers, a descendant of an English family which settled in South Carolina among the earliest colonies, was born in Charles ton, October 14, 1837. His father,' grandfather and several generations of the name belonged to the parishes of St. Thomas and Dennis, in Charleston county, in the territory originally called Berkley county. His mother was of Irish extraction, her father, William McGill, having settled in Kershaw county upon coming from Ireland. William Capers, the grandfather of Ellison, was a soldier of the revolution, a lieutenant in the Second South Caro lina regiment, and after the fall of Charleston in 1780 one of Marion's cap tains in his famous partisan brigade, in which his only brother, G. Sinclair Capers, held the same rank. Several thrilling incidents in the career of these two gallant partisan captains are re lated by Judge Jones, of South Caro lina, in his life of Marion. They were both planters. William Capers, father of Ellison, was born on his father's plantation, "Bullhead," in St. Thomas parish, about twenty miles north of Charles ton, January 25, 1790. He was grad uated at the South Carolina College in Columbia, entered the Methodist minis try in 1808 and devoted his life and brilliant talents to his sacred calling. He ^s elected and consecrated a bishop ami the Methodist Episcopal church, Sbqth, in 1845, and died at his home in Anderson, S. C, January 29, 1855. Ellison ('ajicrs, the fourth son of his marriage with Susan McGill, was grad uated at the South Carolina Military Academy in November, >WML The next year he was a resident, graduate and assistant professor in m&themafog and belle lettres in his alma mater. In?857 he married Charlotte Rebecca, fourjj, daughter of John Gendron and Cathe rine Cotuotier Palmer, of Chen*, Grove Plantation, St. Johns, Bcrkelcy^Mc In the fall of this yea'^J^r^^P ^^^a^Je^stjut-JrYtffessor of mathe ^^ntatics in the South Carolina Military Academy at Charleston, which ranks as second lieutenant. The active state of affairs in Charles ton during the summer and fall of I860 roused the military spirit of the people, and the first regiment of rifles was or ganized in Charleston, of which Lieut. Capers was unanimously elected major. He served with his regiment at Castle Pinckneyand on Morris, Sullivan, James and Johns islands. His regiment also constituted a part of the army under Beauregard during the attack on Fort Sunter. He continued to servo in the vicinity of Charleston until November, when he resigned the rank of lieutenant colonel, to which he had been promoted, in order that he might enter the Con federate service. Satisfied that a terrible struggle was before his people be resigned his pro fessorship at the military academy and united with Col. Flement H. Stephens, of Charleston, in enlisting a regiment for the war. The regiment was mus tered into the Confederate service as the Twenty-fourth South Carolina vol unteer infantry, April 1, 1862, with Clement II. Stephens as colonel, Ellison Capers, lieutenant colonel, and II. J. Hammond, major. On the 4th of April was ordered to Coles' Island, and on the 25th of May was transferred to James island. On June 3 Companies A, B, D and E, and the Charleston battalion un der command of Lieut. Col. Capers, opened the James island campaign. In this engagement Colonel Capers led the attack, and for his courageous and skillful management of this affair he was commended in general orders. At the battle of Secessionville the twenty-fourth was again engaged, and Col. Capers was praised in orders. He was next detailed to command a bat tery of siege guns at Clarks' House. Except at Pocataligo the regiment was on James island until December 15, 1862, when it was ordered to North Carolina to the relief of Wilmington, stationed at the railroad crossing of Northeast river on Island Ford road. On February 13it was returned to South Carolina and placed on duty in the third military district (W. S. Walker's). Lieut. Col. Capers, with part of his regiment and other commands, was de tached to command the district between Cobamhco and Ashapoo rivers. Charleston being threatened with at i tack the regiment was ordered back to IL Secessionville, April 6, 1863. On May M> it left South Carolina for Jackson, ^fiss., being assigned to Gist's brigade, floral eight days later, while command ^Lthe regiment in the battle at Jack ^j.i">n. Col. Capers was wounded, the last of August Gist's com sent to General Bragg. It B^gtted in the battles of Chica j^nauga and Missionary Ridge, and in ^ the former Colonel Capers was again wounded. During the winter at Daw-, son, in January, 1864, Colonel Stephens was promoted to brigadier general and placed in charge of the brigade formerly commanded by General Claudius C. Wilson. H Was while leading this bri gade that General Seephens received his mortal wound at Peachtreo creek, JuW.20, 1864. Lieut. Col. Capers was promoted to the colonelcy of tho twen f ly fourth, which ho led through the At k L v - was I, i$66> on therrecommerr Geuerals Johnston, Hardee CrTeatham, he was commissioned brigadier general and assigned to the command of Gist's brigade. j After the war General Capers was elected secretary of the State of South Carolina^ December, '1?65. In 1867 he entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal church; Htf was for twenty years rector of Greenville, 8. C, for one year at Selma, Ala., :iml for six years at Trinity, CohiYhhia, church. In 1889 the degree of D. D. was conferred on him By the University of South Carolina. On May 4, 1893, he was elected bishop by the convention of South Carolina on the first ballot, and on July 20, 1893, was consecrated in this sacred office.

Getting Him Out Into tho Open For the Camera Man. I have seen n barefoot hoy when the alligator refused lo respond to his call wade In tho mud to his waist, explore' with his toes till he felt the wiggle or the gator beneath them, (hen worry him to the surface, grab him hy the nose before ho could open his Jaws and tow the creature ashore to he photo graphed. When an alligator that we were hunting crawled into his cave I held a noosed rope over his mouth while the boy poked a stick through the mud until It hit the creature in his hiding place, and soon 1 had him snared, ready to be dragged out on the prairie and tied, lo bo kept till the camera man was ready for him; then we turned tho reptile loose on a bit of prairie, and the hoy and I, armed with sticks, headed him oft when he tried to escape, while the camera man, with his head in the hood of his Instrument, fol lowed tho creature about, seeking for evidence-In the eoso of reason versus Instinct. When the camera map was through with him the nlllgator^ras set free, a final shot heing taken at him as ho walked off. Our hunter boys could never be made to comprehend our rea sons for restoring to the creatures their freedom. They understood the photo graphing, but when this was done why not collect a dollar for the reptile's hide? Their manner Implied that to this question no sano answer was pos sible.?A. W.

The women servants are a cook, a scullery maid, a foundress and two maids besides my own personal one. This list Is not os ?xtravagant as the same would be in America. Wages are nothing by comparison. One can get a goodJady's maid for $10 ^a^month^jL coiupeient butler for $10, Hi cook for $10, a chambermaid for $G. Their fare would seem coarse to the spoiled servant of America, consisting, as it docs, chiefly of bread, soup, mac aroni and fruit, with tea and coffee of an inferior grade and fresh meat once a week. Wo spend nothing that we can possibly help until tho Roman sea son. Then we have enough surplus to get an additional numbor of maids and a long row of footmen (these for tho most part young women and men from the village of our own estate), and both in our country villa and In our Roman palace we open all the rooms that for eight months have been closed and for four months live In luxury.? An Expatriate In Everybody's Maga zine. The Angler Fish. A singular superstition about the angler flsh Is entertained In some parts of Sweden (Bohuslau), according to Malm and Smltt. "It Is so feared by many that the tackle is cut as soon as the 'monster' reaches tho surface, and its captor hurries home In order to get there, If possible, before the misfor tune portended by the monster over takes him." The extreme of misfor tune? death?is believed by some to bo Indicated. Nllsson tells that the Swed ish flshermen on the banks "believe that on board tho vessel on which an angler is taken some one is doomed to die soon. They therefore never or hardly ever take the angler on board, but prefer to cut the line and thus lose the hook with the flsh." An anemometrlcal faculty is attrib uted to tho angler in Massachusetts. According to Storer, "among the flsher men in some parts of tho bay thero Is a common saying, 'When you take a gooscflsh, look out for an easterly storm.'" A Human Foot Warmer. It Is Interesting to learn that Julius Caesar found our Celtic ancestors Just suffocating themselves with smoke. Giraldus, the early Welsh historian, describes a family as sitting round their smoky central flro by day and lying round it by night. Rut they could have had little comfort from it, for the same historian tells us that one of their princes eked out his Are with a human foot warmer. This officer's duty was to keep his master's feet warm by cherishing them In his bosom during meals. For this purpose he squatted under the table, and no doubt it "did him proud" so to nurse tho roy al moccasins.?T. P.'s London Weekly. Why He Was Angry.

The 100th anniversary of the birthday of President Jefferson Davis will occur June 3rd, 1909. The Confederate Vet erans' Association and various other memorial associations have suggested that the day be observed throughout the South to teach important lessons connected with the lite and . work of this great citizen. It is a good oppor tunity to impress important lessons in connection with the history of the Southern Confederacy and the period immediately preceding it. A great many schools will close before that date, so I suggest that you urge your teachers to take such time as may suit best for each school for more important lessons and exercises of this kind. O.

K K.'s will go over to Laurens to morrow evening to assist in putting i thirty or more tyros across the burning sands. The D. O. K.
