For some time 1 ' the physicians worked, exercising all < j the skill within their power, but all ' | in vain, as death had claimed the j' | mother and child before it was disI covered that they were being over- 1 powered by the poisonous gas that : poured forth from the unlighted | heater. i j' When seen last night Mrs Good-, win stated that Mrs Bannister and } her baby had been in the bathroom j; for about half an hour, supposedly, j1 when her attention was attracted by the smell of gas in the house and the continued sound of running water.! Thinking it strange that the water should have been left running and I wondering why the gas wasescap-ji - ? />/\1/\m/\/) *-v\ owl I sHie scin uci V-uiuicu niaiu upstairs to look into the matter. It was only a moment before the maid returned, excited and terror- i 1 stricken,and told Mrs Goodwin what she had observed upon entering the j bathroom. 1 Mrs Goodwin rushed upstairs and, j 1 upon entering the bathroom, she j } saw Mrs Bannister lying at the side i * of the bath tub, while close by her j ' on the floor was her baby. She was j sure, she said, that the baby was > a ' dead when she entered the room, i but she was of the opinion that Mrs j Bannister's heart was still beatinfr I faintly,her body being yet warm, although she showed no signs of life. The room was full of the fumes of gas, while the bath tub wa8 full of cold water and the gas still on. On a chair in the bathroom were, Hp?n pint hps hploncine to both Mrsi j Bannister and the baby, signifyingj ( that Mrs Bannister was preparing a! bath for them both, when they were . overpowered by the gas. Mrs Ban. nister was clad in a kimona, while I . the little fellow had on all of his 51 clothes. s j Upon examination it was found ( 1 that there was on top of the heater j a wash pan, which cut off the' ?*f-'?????^?T?"V?"f3?' :d Non-Winding f c able angle iron and the c iran ness like some horse-killing r ;es a vtean cut, and the head is of ladiav^r a remarkably easy riding e operator generally gets. The p trong swivel connection to the top d head type of cutter is that the t espec t ? ask is to come and look over our n-<-ED-evm "W A TP.T WHOLESALE AND draught. Further examination showpd that the gas could not be lighted with the pan in that place. Hence j one conclusion is that Mrs Bannister, i not noticing that the pan was over | [he heater, tried several times to' light the gas; that while she was iloing this, the gas, which had been flowing steadily, caused her to turn turn sick and faint, and that while in a faint she was thoroughly overcome. The infant,too young to even make an attempt to escape, was also a victim. The fact that Mrs Bannister had ( vomited led t > the conclusion that she first turned sick from the smell of the gas. When the fatal accident occurred. Mr Bannister was at the Western Union office. He was communicated with immediately and rushed to the scene. Erelong the startled neighbors came to offer their services.but nothing could be done, as the deadly gas had done its work. When seen last ni^t Dr Rogers stated that both Mrs Bannister,and the baby .were dead when he reached the scene. There was no detailed examination of the bodies, as it was ipparent from the attendant circumstances that both were asphyxiated j ay the gas. The news of the sad accident, arought sorrow to the many friends i af the grief-stricken husband and his lovely young wife,the pride of whose hearts was the little one, who died within arm's reach of its mother, both being unable to escape the poi-1 sonous fumes. Mrs Bannister was only 22 years old and was a young woman of charming traits of character, who made friends by the score wherever she went. She was a native of South Carolina, being a daughter of Mr J G Lifrage of Salters. Mr and Mrs Bannister had been dont keep yo money in the I W Put itinthi BANK When your MONEY is BUR it back to you.

I want to urge upon you to Bret busy and burn your plant beds, and plant all the tobacco you can possibly take care of. 1 want you to get the benefit of the short crop that will be planted. There will be at best only 50 per cent of last pear's crop planted over this side of the Pee Dee, where last year was a short crop. So, this year, you see will be ju^t about half of last. I wonld not ask you to increase if I did not know what I am talking about. You will see prices this year higher than you have ever seen South Carolina tobaccos. So I want you all, especially those that sell in Kingstree. to get the benefit of the high prices. I am not advising you from a personal motive,' but for pour own benefit. I will be in position this year to handle and buy more tobacco than 1 have ever bought before, and competition will be strong. Wishing pou, one and all, a prosperous New Fear.

A very melancholy event last Frilay was the death of the four-year >ld son of Mr and Mrs S W Jenlings, near Cooper postoffice. The ittle one lingered for a day or two n great pain and suffering after >eing seized with his fatal iltness. le was the only child of his devoted jarents, to whom his death brings >rofound sorrow and affliction. The ittle child had been Iran ana sicaiy n early infancy, but had seemed to ivercome this indisposition and bade fair to emerge into robust boyhood vhen the grim reaper, death, who eaps down the bearded grain and ipares not the flowers between,gathered him into the sheaves that fill the freat granary of eternity. To the wrely stricken parents the hearts of ?very one around them go out in Lender sympathy for their irreparable loss.
