Death of Dr. J. O. Byrd [News and Courier.] Timmonbvillr, Octobflr 13.— Dr. J. 0. Byrd, Senator of Flor ence County, and a member of the Constitutional Convention, died suddenly at his home at 6 o’clock this evening. He had been slightly unwell for a day or two, but it was not thought that anything serious was the matter. He went out in his yard this afternoon and fell in what was thought to be a faint. In spite of every effort made to resuscitate him it was impos sible. Death must have been instantaneous. Dr. J. 0. Byrd, of the Flor ence delegation, was a piactic- ing physician. He was born at Timmonsville February 4, 1856, and received a common school education at that place. He be gan the study and practice of medicine very early in life. Dr. Byrd’s entry into politics was in 1886, when he w'as elected as amember of the House of R jp resentatives from Darlington County. He was re elected in 1888. After the creation of Florence County he continued as its representative. He de clined to run in 181*0, but was brought out in 1893 and elected to the House for the third time. In 1894 his friends ran him for Senator and he was elected by a handsome majority. His political career has been one of marked success, having never been defeated for any office that he has ever aspired to. He has also served his town as a war den and in tend ant for'a number of years, having been elected three times in succession as in- tendant. Dr. Byrd is and al ways has been a true and stanch Reformer. He is now engaged in the practice of medicine and farming. His studies in medi cine were begun in Charleston and he afterwards went to the College of Physicians and Sur geons in Baltimore, from which institution he graduated in 1874, taking a very high stand in a large class. His father, Dr. J. E. Byrd, at one time represent ed Darlington County in the General Assembly. Dr. Byrd’s family comes from Virginia, where William and John Byrd, his ancestors, were well-known patriots. AYER’S Cherry Pectoral SAVED HIS LIFE So says Mr. T. M. Reed, a highly* respected Merchant of Mid dletown, III., of a Young Man who was supposed to be in Consumption. “One of my customers, some years ago, had a son who had all the symptoms of consumption. 1 he usual medicines afforded him no relief, and he steadily failed until he was unable to leave his bed. His mother applied tome for some remedy and I recom mended Ayer’s t'herrv Pectoral, the young man took it according to directions, and soon tiegan to improve until_he became well and strong.’ - dletown, 111. -T. M. Reed, Mid- >*ome time ago, I caught a severe cold, my throat and lungs were badly inllamed, and I bad a terrible cough. It was supposed that I was a victim of consump tion, and my friends had little hoiieof reeoverv. But I bought a Ixittle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, took it, and was entirely cured. No doubt, it saved my'life.”— I. Jones, Ernerts Cove, Tenn.

Gaillouette, Druggist, Beaversville, 111., says: “To Dr King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live.
