Obituary.
? Dear little Elbert is dead! After
several weeks of patient suffering on
Wednesday, October 7, 1903, at J
3:15 p. m., his little soul winged its i
flight to the beautiful realms of rest
He was seven years old and the only
son of Mrs M E Pipkin, of Benson,
S. C. The funeral services were held
at Bloomingvale church and the rental
us were laid to rest beside his
father and little sister.
1 - ? ^ ?n/1 A^onrfnl i
JSlDerc was ever a ?iuu ?uu
child. During the last few hours of
his illness he sang, the last hymn
being, "Bring Them In."
Then he said his prayers aloud,
asking God to bless "ma and little
sister, grand-iha, grandpa and everybody,
for Jesus' sake. Amen."
Only three short years ago the an- j
gel of deuth robbed a loving young!
wife of a devoted husband and three1
children of a father's tender love, j
Just two months after the father,
died little Florence, the oldest
^ daughter, was called. Now these;
\ loving hearts are again bowed in sadness
bv the death of this little one.
Too rich in promise to blossom
here this flower needed for its sweetest
bloom the sunlight shed in God's
own presence. No one who ever saw
little Elbert can forget the face o'er
ti-hmh smiles Dlaved like sunbeams j
on lilies and brightened all around, j
It seems only yesterday that we
saw the loving mother caressing her
darling boy as she planued for him
a future crowned with joy and love.
Bat now we behold these bright
hopes blighted, for a little monnd
tells ns that Elbert is gone to live
with the angels.
Weep not, sad hearts. Only think
of it! No weary wanderings for the
little feet; no weary tasks for the
little hands; no sad heartaches; no
bitter tears for little Elbert; but
only rest, sweet rest forever.

CHAMBERLAIN'SCOUGH REMEDY.
No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at
the great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It not only
cures colds and grip effectually and
permanently, but prevents these disj
eases from resulting in pneumonia.
It is also a certain cure for croup.
Whooping cough is not dangerous
when this rentedv is fiver. It con
" "VV ** j .* " o"
tains noj opium or other harmful
. substancejand may be given as confidently
to a baby as to an adult. It'
is a ho pleasant to take. When alt !
of these facts are taken iuto cousid- ;
eration it is not surprising that peo-1
pie in foreign lands, as well as at j
I home, esteem this remedy very j
highly and very few are willing to
j take any other after having once
[used it. For sale by Dr D (J Scott

' HORRIBLE FATE OF A YOUNG
NEGRO BOY.
Was Sleeping in Hay Loft When
Barn and Stables
Burned.
Last Friday night the barn and
i fitAhl** of Frank Fulton, a thriftv
and well-to-do negro living abotit
i 2i miles south of town, were destroyed
by fire and a negro boy, Wesley
Fulton, aged about ten years,
perished in the flames. Three mules
were burned to death and Fulton's
entire crop of this year's corn was
destroyed; also about 2000 pounds of
fodder, a cart, a mower and a lot of
farming implements that were kept
under cover of the barn.
Coroner H M Burrows went to the
scene on Saturday morning, but as
it seemed clear that the child's death
was due to accidental causes, he
/ii/i nnt if nw?McarT fn hnlrl *T?
inquest.
As well us can be gathered the
circumstances of the burning are
these:
Three negro boys, Snow. Ladson
and Wesley Fulton, nephews of
Frank Fulton and aged respectively
14, 12 and 10 years, were in the
habit of sleeping in the hay-loft of
the barn, the entrances to which
were a door at the front and a
"chicken" hole at the side. On the
night of the fire the two older boys,
Snow and Ladson, were out visiting,
leaving the younger one, Wesley,
asleep in the loft They came home
about nine o'clock and went through
the front door to their sleeping-place
. I./- i_
in Uie ioiu ill a very euuiu nine
the fire blazed np near the door.
Being near the chicken-hole the
older boys ran toward it dragging
the sleeping Wesley with them, so
they say; but at the point of exit he
in some way became fastened and
they had lo leave him to save their
own lives.
The negro boys who escaped were
thoroughly frightened and it is difficult
to get anything out of them.
At first they denied having had any
tire in the loft, but later on Snow
admitted that he truck a match
near the door. There is little room
fnr dnnht that the bovs when thev
- ? J ^
entered dropped a burning match or
a cigarette stump among the highly
combustible contents of the loft and
that the disastrous fire resulted from
their carelessness. The loss falls
heavy on Frank Fulton, who suffered
a similar disaster last year.

J W BODIFORD PARDONED.
His Petition Contained the Names ot
about 600 Citizens of Williamburg.
J W Bodiford, a white prisoner in
the State penitentiary, was pardoned
yesterday by Gov Heyward. The
facts in this case are peculiar and at
the same time very pathetic.
"Rndifnrrl was a resident of Williams
burg county at the time that he committed
the crime for which he has
been paying the penalty. One morning
he became engaged in a colloquy
with a man named Goins and hot
words passed between the two. Bodiford
returned with a gun intending
to kill Goins and fired at him, but in
some way the bullet went wild and
the son of the would-be murderer was
killed instead of Goins. The father
was almost frantic in his grief and it
was evident to all that he had never
intended to fire at his son. But the
law must needs take its course and
in April of this year he was brought '
to trial before Judge Gage. He was
tried and convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to five years at such
labor as he was able to perform.
For Bodiford was not a man of hale I
and hearty years and in addition was V
an invalid.
His application for pardon was
most heartily endorsed by Solicitor
J S Wilson, who prosecuted. The
solicitor remarked in his letter that
the case was a sad one. Dr Harmon
attached a certificate to the application
stating that Bodiford was a sufferer
from heart disease and that his
malady was incurable.
The application asking Bodiford's
pardon was signed bv all the county
officers of Williamsburg and many
prominent citizens. It contained
about 500 names.?The State Oct 9.
