her was the lifeless form of her ,
little seventeen-monihs-old son. Har!
ry 0 Bannister, .Jr.both having been j
asphyxiated by the few of eras from
the instantaneous heater over the
bath tub, while the tub was rilled ?
with cold water. i
j
Immediately Mrs Goodwin tele- 1
tih/tnori f(? KP>v.'pml Hrutr stores for <
physicians, the first t<> reach the <
'scene being Dr John B Watson.while i*
Mrs Bannister's physician, Pr James ^
R Rogers, anil Dr J W Harper arrived
in a short time. 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'

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.

Gentlemen: ?
I take this method of speaking to
pou. 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.

Death of a Little One.
tA..
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.
