TRIBUTE TO ^LnRED MAN Prominent F ^ of Georst,own ,tend Funeral. \ Qeor-'town. April 21.?A demonstfaft1 cons^ere(' remarkable occur-^nere Sunday at the funeral of Wil_.?&m C. Atkinson, in the African Meth'odist church, when a large section of the spacious interior set aside for the purpose was filled to overflowing with white men and women of the most prominent families of the city, met to Dav tribute of respect to a worthy member of the colored race. The floral offerings, covering the casket and banked around the pulpit, were largely tributes from the white friends of the deceased. Born in 1856 in Georgetown county, William Atkinson grew up on a rice plantation, there learning from the gentlefolk of the manor good manners, which, coupled with native judgment, honesty and devotion to duty, in whatever sphere it came to him, had brought him not only business success and the respect and high esteem of all who knew him, both white and black. The negroes from all the county literally swarmed in to attend the funeral. A fitting and impressive service was carried out by the various pastors 01 the city and the selected choir. The Rev. Perrin, pastor of the deceased, delivered a panegyric. "Bill" Atkinson died last Thursday April 15, having been in failing health for some months. For the past twenty years he has conducted a very successful green grocery here and general store. His patronage included nearly everybody to a greater or less extent and his standard of doing business was such that everyone had implicit faith in him. o X PROGRAMME District Sunday School , Convention, Indian town Church, April 25. morning session 10:45?Prayer and Praise Service by Rev.
