Death of Mrs. J. E. Keels.
Mrs Keels, wife of Mr J E Keels,
died Sunday night at Greelyville.
She was a sister of Mr A M Gordon
of Kingstree and was 50 years of
age. She leaves no children. Mrs
Keels was one of the most beloved
ladies of thp community in which
she lived. She was a consistent member
of the Methodist church and an
untiring worker for all that was uplifting
in her section. Her death was
the result of a stroke of apoplexy.
Death of Mr. G. K. Mitchum.
Mr George K Mitchum, one of
Williamsburg's oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens, passed
away at his home in theBloomingvale
section Sunday night. Mr Mitchum
had been in failing health for some
time past and had almost lost his
eyesight. He is survived by his
wife and seven grown sons and one
dauglfter.who are: Messrs Sylvester,
Benjamin, Burton, Roland, Thomas,
Walter and John Mitchum and Mrs
Lizzie Smith, all of this county.
Mr Mitchum was a Confederate
veteran, having served throughout
ttye Civil war as a member of the
artillery corps. About three weeks
ago he was stricken to his bed with
grip and, owing to his advanced age
his system failed to respond, to
treatment. He grew gradually
worse until he passed away peacefully
Sunday night.
His remains were interred Monday
afternoon in the Cantley cemetery
of the Baptist church, in which
faith Mr Mitchum lived and died.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev W E Hurt.
Our Benson correspondent is right
when he says that those who knew
Mr Mitchum were saddened by the
news of his death. The writer was
one of those who knew him well for
many years, and we always loved to
be in the company of "Uncle"
George, as a panacea for low
spirits or the "blues".
Mr Mitchum was one of the most
popular men in the county and it is
hard to realize that we shall not see
him again. He was gifted with a
keen and characteristic humor and
always greeted one with a cheery
word of welcome. He had hosts of
friends and few, if any, enemies.
In business affairs Mr Mitchum
was just and honorable in his dealings
with his fe!!ow-man. He was a
true, patriotic son of old Williamsburg,one
who did his duty as he saw
it in every exigency that arose.
We feel a keen sense of personal
loss in the death of our kind old
friend and erstwhile neighbor. May
the sod rest lightly o'er his grave.
Death of Mr. D. M. Ervin.
Mr D McQueen Ervin died at his
home in North Kingstree at 7o'clock
yesterday morning. The deceased
was one of the most highly respected
and beloved citizens of the community.
He was a son of the late
John Witherspoon Eryin and was
born and reared to manhood near
Manning, Clarendon county. About
the year 1879 he came to Williamsburg
county and for a number of
years served as a clerk in the mer/*??

cantile business of Mr John M Nexsen.
Later Mr Ervin moved to Indiantown
and opened a mercantile
I business of his own, which he successfully
conducted until his health
began to fail. He then removed to
Kingstree, where he has resided the
past eight years. On account of ill
health, Mr Ervin never engaged in
active business here,and for the last
five years he had been practically an
invalid. The deceased was 64 years
j of age. In 1886 he married Miss
i Sue T Barr of Indiantown, who,with
his brothers, Rev E E Ervin of McUlellanville,
Samuel Ervin, Esq, of
Morganton, N C, Mr Conyers Ervin
of Alabama and one sister, Mrs W C
E#rvin of Darlington,survives him.
Funeral services took place at the
Presbyterian church here this morning
at 9:30 o'clock, conducted by the
pastor, Rev P S McChesney. The remains
were taken to Indiantown
church for interment.
Should Not Feel Discouraged.
So many people troubled with indigestion
and constipation have been
benefited by taking Chamberlain's
Tablets that no one should feel discouraged
who has not given them a
trial. They contain no pepsin or other
digestive ferments but strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Obtainable
everywhere.
We are advised that the law relative
to auto-trucks, a comment on
which we clipped last week from
the Manning Times, applies to only
three counties in the State, viz:
Clarendon. Aiken and York.
