ELIJAH PRINGLE, aged about 84 years an months, departed this life on Friday more Oct. 17, 1884. For ten years his health been gradually failing, much of the time fining him to his house, and for a month he bas been unable to leave his bed. His was quiet and peaceful, and among bis words he was able to say, "All is well." Mr. Pringle was one of our represents men in true worth and integrity of chara? In all his business relations with .his fe. men, his word was his bond, and by a 1 bfe of truth and faithfulness, be had woe honorable name. No one living can ch: aught against him or convict him of wrong doing. To his Church, of which he was a de? for many years, he was a most generous helpful member. The building in which Baptists now worship in Sumter was, great part, the result of his zeal, energy beneficence. For many years and, in f until the beginning of the war, Mr. Prii was repeatedly appointed as delegate from Church to attend upon the meetings of Charleston Association, bis name appeal ia the minutes of that body about 30 tic commencing with the year 1828. Until failing health and the weakness age overmastered bim, his place as & v shipper in his own Qb arch was never vact and for long periods, when the congrega! happened to be pastories3, he maintained prayer meeting, and stimulated his breth to the service of God. He has now come his grave in a ripe old age as a "shocli corn cometh in his season." Instead of ploring his death, devout thanks should returned to God for his long, useful and emplary life. * - i .->?. - - Beligious.

July 4lb, 1848, while the Mexican War was being waged, the corner-stone of the monu? ment completed last Saturday, was laid. We have not the space to give even a very brief outline of its progress during the thirty-six years it has been in process of construction but will do so in the future. Saturday this immense obelisk was comple? ted, and the ctp-stone, weighing 3,300 pounds was put in position. Tue ceremonies were short and simple, but they will be re-enacted in a more elaborate manner during Inaugura? tion week. As our readers know, the height of the shaft is 550 feet, and reaches above every other, structure in the world. <;Imove," said a delegate in a Virginia contention, "that our chairman take a dose of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, he is so hearse that I^annot understand him."

He served one term in the Legislature, and in 1882 was elected Senator, which position he now lolds. Senator Earle was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention in 1880, and again in 1884, and was chosen to represent South Carolina in the committee which no? tified Cleveland of his nomination.

BECKHAM is a native of Sumter County, and is about fifty years of age.
