history, for the man who worked *

called to another field. That man 0

i steadfast at the helm till he became c
jp' so physically frail that he could no
^longer guide his pen. July 19, 1
1915, his soul was called to a higher jj
life. This writer had been closely
jpjt , -associated with him for several years *
;and knew him well, although his af- q

REV H B BROWNE DEAD.
Prominent Member of Metbodist
Ministry Succumbs to Disease
Presiding Elder H Bascom Browne,
one of the most prominent ministers
of the South Carolina conference,
died at two o'clock Tuesday morning
at the district parsonage here
after an illness of several months.
Bright's disease was the cause of
lis death though recently serious !
?r?mr>lif?ntinns had set in. Mr Browne
was 64 years old. Since 1914 he
las lived in Kingstree, being presidng
elder of the Kingstree district.
He had been in declining health for
some time. In January he went to
Florence and there entered an inirmary
for treatment, remaining
:here for several weeks. Though
le recovered sufficiently to return
:o his home it was known that there
:ould be no hope entertained for his
ultimate recovery. Mr Browne sery;d
Methodist churches in various
parts of the State. He was an able
jreacher and was recognized as possessing
unusual executive ability;
was a Mason of high rank; the Camlen
Lodge of Masons some time ago
)resented him with a loving cup
which he prized very highly. He
vas also prominent in the Woodmen
)f the World.
Mr Browne was for 39 years a
nember of the South Carolina conference,
for 11 years a presiding
ilder, for 19 years on stations and
- ? a :i ti~
'or nine years on trie circuit, nc
vas a leader in the missionary work
>f the church and active in its educational
interests.
Henry Bascom Browne was born
n Anderson county and was a pupil
n Ebenezer school under the late C
j Reed. He studied Latin in Coumbia
under Prof McCartha. Most
if his theological education was procured
through chautauqua corres>ondence
courses. His first mariage
was to Miss Mollie Moody of
tolumbia. Mr Browne was married
n 1894 to Mrs Maria B Chase of
lorence.
Duncan's "Twentieth Century
Sketches" contains the following
stimate of Mr Browne's character:
"Mr Browne has been an indeatigable
worker, but has thriven
ipon it. In pastoral work, he has
trengthened the weak a comforted
he sorrowing and dying; in the pullit
he has been a faithful dispenser
{ the word of life; as an organizer
le has especially excelled. Faithful
nd painstaking, his work all along,
whether in the pastorate or on the
arious conference, board?, has been
haracterized by depth and thoroughiess
and has possessed a lasting qualty,
as his brethren will testify. . . .
le is a manly man; he thinks along
iigh lines and strives to reach high
ieals."
The remains were taken to Flornce
yesterday morning and the
uneral services were held from the
lentral Methodist church, at 11
'clock. Interment was made in
lount Hope cemetery by the side
f loved ones. The funeral services
rare conducted by the Rev D A
'hillips, j?astor of the Kingstree
hurch, assisted by the Rev John 0
Villson, D D, president of Lander
allege, Greenwood, and the Rev L
1 Beatty, assistant Sunday-school
ditor, of Nashville, Tenn, both of
rhom had been closely associated
nth Dr Browne for many years,
nd who were his bosom friends.
The deceased is survived by his
jcond wife and two sons by his first
dfe, Dr Claude E Browne, Darling)n,
and M Capers Browne.

IN RE RURAL POLICE.
Hon. J. J. M.Graham Opposes Increase
In Number.
I Editor County Record:?
I note from the grand jury's report
the following:
"We would recommend further
that two additional police be appointed,
one for Trio section and
one for Hebron section of the county.
The reason for the recommendation
is that we realize the importance
of the enforcement of the law,
and especially the prohibition law,
and we believe the number of rural
policemen that we now have inademifltp
to enforce the law DroDerly."
-J ?? " ? ?- - . .
In the campaign two years ago
the question was put to all candidates
for Representative, asking
each one if he favored rural police
for the county? I answered the
question yes, provided we could get
the right men for the position.
During the year 1915 the delegation
was forced to call the police together
on two or more occasions for
the purpose of investigating complaints
from citizens of the different
sections, and especially in the two
sections that are now appealing to
the grand jury for additional force.
The delegation, after making a thorough
investigation, deemed it for
the best interest of the Trio section
to discontinue the police in that
community. The policeman in the
Hebron section tendered his resignation,
which was accepted. During
the investigation the delegation impressed
upon the rural police the
very question the grand jury says is
its reason for asking for this additional
force, except we had the dis
- i - *
pensary instead 01 pruruuiuuu.
The police informed us that they
Could not enforce the liquor law,
and that they were so instructed that
they could not enforce the law on
blind tigers unless they had warrants
sworn out for them. This being
true, if a citizen has to swear
out a warrant before the police can
make an arrest or search, then I
contend that we have no use for
rural police, as we have plenty of
Magistrates and constables to serve
the warrants. Now, while I am
perfectly willing to give the two
additional police in the county we
must have assurance from some one
that they will enforce the law. But
where is this assurance to come
from? I feel sure if the grand jury
had made a thorough investigation
of the records showing what the
rural noh'ce have done since the law
was passed, I think about four years
ago, and see how many blind tiger
cases have been brought into court
by them, they will agree with the
delegation, that as far as the enforcement
of the prohibition law is
concerned, the rural police, judging
the future by the past, will
amount to nothing. My recollection
is, and I have been watching
them pretty closely, that only a few
negroes with their pint of liquor on
their person have been brought into
court by the rural police and not a
case where the dirty, lawless white
man sold liquor was ever brought to
justice, and ma^y of them not
merely running blind tigers, but
almost open bar rooms.
Another reason why I think the
grand jury has acted a little too
hastily and without investigation is
that at the last meeting of the Legislature
there was an appropriation
made for the Governor's use in
hiring detectives and any other officers
for the purpose of enforcing
the prohibition law; this being the
fact, I see no reason whylthe people
should be taxed to pay additional officers
who claim they cannot enforce
the law. However, as we have
agreed to have a meeting of the
nn Cotuntau Mnrrh 11.
UCic^eauuu kjia uovwiumj , ... ?v
1916, I will suggest that the foreman
and as many members of the
grand jury and all other citizens
that can and will, meet with the
delegation in the court house at 12
o'clock of above date so that we
may discuss thi3 question before
RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.
To half pint of water add 1 oz. Bay
Rum, a small box of Barbo Compound,
and Vi oz. of glycerine. Apply to the hair
twice a week until it becomes the desired
?hade. Any dcuggist can put this up or
you can mix it at home at very little cost.
Pull directions for making and use come
in each box of Barbo Compound. It will
gradually darken streaked, faded gray
hair, and removes dandruff. It Is excellent
fcr falling hair and will make harsh
hair soft and glossy. It will not color the
scalp. Is not sticky or greasy, and does not

without the knowledge of the other

and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to suspect
kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick help
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for weakened kidneys.

kidney secretions passed irregularly,
and when I caught cold, it settled on
my kidneys and made me worse. Finally
I got Doan's Kidney Pills at
the Kingstree Drug Co's, and they
relieved me of all signs of kidney
trouble."

TO THE TRADE
C. We need only to say that the
S:ality of the line for 1916 will be
e same as in the past
C. To those not heretofore acquainted
with the line, we can mention
the following points of superiority
?
C. The outside cases are of genuine
solid oak, not imitation as in most
other lines.
C. The insulation is of charcoal
sheathing with dead air space between
the walls, and gives great
economy in the matter of ice consumption.
C. This line has center flue cold air
circulation.
C. All models have brass hardware,
Roman gold finish, re-tinned wire
shelves, removable drain pipes
for easy cleaning, self-retaining
casters, etc.
C. Dimensions of ice chambers ere
taken with ice racks in place and ?
lids closed so that all space shown
is available for use.
