AN AWFUL DEATH. .
Suard at Trestle Near Kingstree Killed
by Train Monday Morning.
His comrades and the people of
Kingstree and vicinity were grievjuslv
shocked monday morning
when they learned that Private Gil-'
land Hall,of near Camden,a member
)f Company M, First South Carolina
regiment, had been found dead at
tiis post of duty about 4 o'clock that
morning.
Young Hall was one of a squad
detached here temporarily to guard
the A C L trestle spanning Black
river just south of town. He with a
companion attended service at the
Presbyterian church Sunday night
and,returning to camp,went on post
it midnight at the north end of the
trestle.
When the next man on duty came
jp to relieve Hall he found the lifeess
body lying on its back partly in
i fire and partly on the track, one
' > 1 1 1 J
toot crusnea Dy me car wneeis auu
;he face .shoulder and one arm bady
burned by the fire into which the
roung soldier had fallen when struck
>y the passsing train.
At first it was thought that Hall
lad fallen asleep on the side of the
rack and had been struck by the
?gine,but this theory passed out of
he minds of the people as a closer
nvestigation was made as to the portion
of the dead body, the cuts
ind bruises on it and the record of
he young man as a soldier. There
s no doubt as to his death being
aused by the train, but as to just
iow the vouncr man was struck by it,
10 one knows. One theory is that
le was standing by the fire with his
run across his shoulder and the
rain struck the muzzle of the gun,
mocking him senseless into the fire.
Vnother is that a loose hanging car
loor of a rapidly passing freight
rain struck him. Of thp two
heories the one of the gun seems
nost probable because the gun was
lamaged.
Monday morning the body was
jrought to Kingstree and prepared
:or burial by the Kingstree Hardware
Co. That evening the remains
were escorted to the depot by the
Soy Scouts and sent to Camden,
rhe floral offerings by the Boy Scouts
were numerous and beautiful.
Gilland Hall, it is said, was an
?xemplary young man, and enjoyed
:he confidence and esteem of the
jfficers and fellow privates of his
mmpany.
Tho motorboat Mary Lee Swann

of visiting these volunteer de'enders

ihould do so. The Swann made two

SOUL-STIRRING SERVICES
Still Going on at Presbyterian ChurchGreat
Interest Manifested.
The people of Kingstree and surrounding
community are still enjoy- j
ing a rare spiritual feast in the evangelistic
services at the Presbyterian
church. Two services are held daily
except Satnrday, at 10:30 a. m. and
8:00 p. m., and three on Sunday, at
11:00 a. m., and 3:00 and 8:00 p. m.
The interest of the people is at white
heat, and the famous saying about
Charleston is now equally applicable
to Kingstree: "Everyone goes to
church .here." The Tprincipal business
men of town are generously
aiding the Rood work by closing
their establishments during the
hours of worship.
The meetings are conducted by
Rev Dr J Ernest Thacker of Norfolk,
Va, evangelist of the Southern
Presbyterian church. He is a speaker
bf great force and possesses a
good voice, an excellent delivery and
a charming personality, so that he
attracts all with whom he comes in
contact. He preaches extemporaneously
and deals in no disputed matters
of doctrine. His effort is to
bring all to confess and call themselves
Christians and to hold the
faith in the bond of peace and in
righteousness of life.
Dr Thacker has an invaluable assistant
in Mr James W Jelks,musical
director. He possesses a voice of
much sweetness and compass and is
a born music teacher. He has a
large choir of both I adults and children.
composed of members of all
the churches here. They are deeply
interested in their work, and Mr
Jelks is much pleased with their rendition
of the music.
Dr Thacker will speak tonight on
"The Inheritance of the Children of
God."
In addition to the morning and
evening services Sunday, there will
be a meeting at 3:00 p. m. at the
Baptist church for men and boys
only, conducted by Dr Thacker and
Mr Jelks. At the same hour a meeting
for ladies only will be conducted
at the Presbyterian church by Mrs
Thacker. wife of the evanerelist.
About 400 persons have signified
their intention of uniting with the
various churches, or, when already
members,leading a more consecrated
life.
\
Gradually Improving.
The host of friends of DrR Claude
McCabe will learn with a feeling of
profound pleasure that this popular
young man is gradually improving
in health.
"Doc" has doubtless had a tough
time of it. He told the writer yesterday,
while calling on him, that he
had been on the "very brink" and
that all along he had had to fight for
what, he has, and that he was still
fighting to get well and to rid his
system of the poisonous corpuscles
that in some way, and at some time,
invaded his body and polluted nis
blood through contact with a patient
in the course of his professional
practice as a dentist. His trouble
has not been of a pulmonary nature,
as reported.
We were delighted beyond expression
to see our young friend looking
as well as he does, after the 3iege he
has gone through, and to note the
cheerful,hopeful spirit that pervades
his being.
Pay Town Taxes.
Tax books of the town treasurer
will close on Tuesday, May 15. Only
four more days in which to pay your
town taxes without also having to
pay the execution penalty of $2.
Dr R J McCabe returned to Kings
tree Tuesday evening and will be at
his dental office here until further
notice. It
