Death of Capt J J Steele.
This community was saddened
Monday morning upon receipt of a
telegram from Waycross, Ga, announcing
the death in that place of
one of our venerable and most highly
esteemed citizens, Captain J J
Steele, which occurred at 3:30 Sunday
afternoon at the home of his
daughter, Mrs T H Miller.
For several years past Capt Steele
had been in declining health, and it
.1 L. u.. # n..
WHS UlUUgUl U.v ma 10111117 menus
here that a trip to Georgia would be
beneficial to his worn-down condition
and on November 20 he left Kingstree
for a visit to his daughter, Mrs
T H Miller at Waycross, Ga. During
the first few weekr, of his stay
in Georgia his condition seemed to
improye, but on December 26, he
was seized with a spell of acute in- j
digestion which developed into a
complication of troubles from which
| he never again recovered.
f'nnt Steele was born in Williams
v -r- ?
burg county 75 years ago. During
the Civil war he organized a cavalry
company, which was afterwards
known hs Steele's cavalry, he being
commissioned as Captain. This company,
along with that of Kirk,Walker,
Sparks and Keitt, formed the
19th South Carolina Battalion, and
were a part of the forces of West
Winyah bay, with headquarters at
Fort White.
Forty odd years ago he removed
to Kingstree, where he had
since resided and had become recognized
as one of the pioneers of the
town. He was twice married and
leaves a wife and seven children.viz:
Messrs C B, W B and Walter Steele;
of Bingham, S C; J B Steele and Mrs
J A Scott of Kmgstree, Mrs 1 n
Miller of Waycross, Ga, and Mrs E
N Gaillard of Brunswick, Ga.
The remains of Capt Steele arrived
at Kingstree Tuesday morning,
and funeral services were held at the
late residence of the deceased at 3:30
in the afternoon, conducted by Rev
D A Phillips of the Methodist church.
Following the funeral ceremony interment
was made in Williamsburg
cemetery at 4 p. m. in the presence
of a large gathering of friends.
Peace to his ashes.
The big Clearance sale inaugurated
two weeks ago by Mr S Marcus is
still attracting buyers. New special
features are enumerated in his half

Mrs W N Jacobs Entertains.
One of the most brilliant events
of the season was the reception given
by Mrs W N Jacobs Tuesday afternoon
from 4 to 6, in honor of
Mrs W I Nexsen, formerly Miss Barbara
Jacobs. The hall, dining-room
and parlors were beautifully decorated
with smilax, potted plants, narcissus
and pink carnations. The
houi3e was darkened and lighted up
by many pink candles, which gave a
charming color effect of pink and
green. This effect was carried out
by the gowns of the ladies in the
reviving line.
The guests, numbering more than
forty, started coming soon after 4
p. m. and were received at the door
by Misses Estelle Campbell and Ma-j
; mie Jacobs, then handed over to i
, Miss Maude Logan, who ushered
them to Mesdames W N Jacobs, W
I Nexsen and C D Jacobs; these ladies
wore beautiful gowns of pink
chiffon and carried carnations. Af-!
ter n fpw words of nleasant conver
' sation Miss Logan then conducted '
j the guesis to the dining-room where
' a delicious sweet course was
served by Misses Martha Gourdin
j and Agness Erckmann and Mesdames
j J W Swittenberg and W G Gamble.
| Miss Lula Brockington then ushered
I the guests into the hall, where fruit
! punch was served by Mrs W F Tolley
and Miss Selma Thorn. During
the afternoon fieautiful musical selections
IVere rendered by Mrs L W
Gilland and Miss Selma Thorn.

Columbia. January 28:?Benjamin
Ryan Tillman was re-elected United j
States Senator from South Carolina
shortly after the upper branch of
the General Assembly convened at
10 o'clock today. Senator Nicholson,
the member from Senator Tillman's
county, nominated his constituent.
There was no second.
When it came to a vote Senator
Young rose in his seat in answer to
I his name. "Mr President," said
| Senator Young. "before 1 can cast (
I my vote I want it distinctly under- <
! stood that *1 do so under protest and 1
I because I am the agent of Union
(County, not personally."
Thirty-seven Senators voted for i
Tillman. The voting was a mere !
formality and without spirit. The (
Senate proceeded to the election on
motion of Senator Hardin. Senator
Johnson thought noon the proper
hour for the election and rose to in- (
i quire if this were not the case. It
1 was pointed out that an immediate
vote would not be out of order.
