A FATAl ACCIDENT. tin li/nnrl of Fnnnnnlnu' n CllO lumiymr. nam w ucuiyciunn uuu cumbs !o Wound Received in Hnnling. Georgetown, December 2:? Arthur F Ward died at 9.15 o'clock this morning as the result of gunshot wounds accidentally received while hunting ducks in the rice fields on the Santee river yesterday afternoon. His death was due primarily to shock and loss of blood and the long interval of suffering from the fearful wound in his thigh before medical aid could be secured. He was conscious throughout the night and up to within a few moments of J tl die ciiu. lie cAiiiuncu an ntiviv cheerfulness, which caused those at his bedside to hope that there was still a chance for life. But his vitality had received too severe a shock and strain and he breathed his last peacefully, surrounded by loving members of his family and devoted friends. The deepest sympathy of the whole community is felt for the afflicted mother and father, sisters and brothers of the young man, who was but 26 years of age, whose standing in the business world he had already won, and whose noble traits of character gave promise of an honorable and brilliant career. Several years ago another boy of great promise was lost to these fond parents under similar circum-| stances, making this additional; blow even harder to them. Another sad^feature was the fact that Mr Ward was engaged to be married in the spring and this prospective happy union of lovimr hp?rt.s h?<? been forever cut short. Mr Ward was a! member of the Episcopal church, in which he was very active, being an officer of Ihe local Brotherhood of St Andrew, and exhibited in his daily life the highest teachings of Christianity. The flags of the shipping in port were half-masted to-day in respect to the dead man. Alone in Saw Mill at Midnight unmindful of dampness, drafts, storms or cold, W J Atkins worked as Night Watchman, at Banner Springs, Tenn. Such exposure gave him a severe cold that settled on his lungs. At last he had to give up work. He tried many remedies but all failed till he used Dr King's New Discovery. "After using one bottle," he writes, "I went back to work as well as ever."
