was peaceful, like the whole of bis life
Junios Alceacs Mayes, was born on June

sight of bis last borne, where be bas lived all
bis Ii'?. He was the son of Matthew P.
Mayes, Esq , and Henrietta Shaw Mayes He
attended ihe South Carolina College from
1837 to 18?0 Wheo' be left this college be
entered the South Carolina Medical College at
Charleston, graduating wi:b bigb honors
from that iostitutioo about 1843. He began
tbe practice of medicine at hie native village
and continued in tbe acti-e practice of his
profession until a few years ago, when bis
infirmities caused bim to retire. Even then
be was sought by maoy as a medical adviser
until tbs time of bis death He wa3 a stu?
dent all of his life, stodyiog tbs many
branches of bis profession, and contributing
valuable articlej to medical journals ali over
the cotia try.
His chief line of investigations was io the

Dr. Mayes wa9 l?oked upon by all who
knew him as a legal adviser, and friend and
counsellor to all needing assistance in the
trials of lite. He was for many years a
ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church and
was a mainstay cf the church until bis death.
Whenever ibe fortune of the church was at
stake, be was looked to fer advice and assist?
ance. Without his aid and advice in the
past the Mayesviile Church might not have
been the church i*. is today. He was, indeed,
a Christian with faith in all bis works. No
more sincere Christi in and whole-hearted
man could have been found.
Dr. Mayes was elected the first ictensan? of \
tbetow,noi Mayesville.
He was married twice, survivieg both bis
wives. He had eight children, five of whom

A Sensational Sermon.
REV. C C. BROWN GOES
FOR SUMTER'S SINS
Prom tbs Daily I<em, Feb, 11 tb
Last night at the B*p;is' Obnrcb, Ber. C.
C Brown de?ver*d a Fermoy &ord?rio? OD
the sensational. His test rn? "The Hand?
writing OD the Wal! " The stacker begin
by tbowiae how the people of today, who
are engaged in ibe world's gaiety and not?
ons livinz, will fee the bardwritirg on tba
wall ?nd rna; God is writing their doom
upon the wall now. He laid utrrss on tb*
three words, "men, women and wine," and
pictured tbeir relations to each other io the
twentieth century fast living. Tfcey were
ebown to be the downfall of macy a young
man and woman. He mentioned the indis?
putable tendency on ?be part cf women to
drink, for lt is a fact that the drinking habit
is rapidly increasing among women today.
The speaker stated that he had once seen a
yoong lady leaning on the shoulder of a
youne maa sa they drove tbrouob a side
Btreel; and that be thought tbs lady W9S
sick, tut ascertained later that she waa
dronic end being carried borne in that la?
mentable condition from a ball. Socb he
said was sure to bring the writing on the
wall.
Af:er s peaking for some length on the g?n?
?ral tendency of the times to faet living and
earing more for the worldly side of life than
the spiritual, the preacher brought tba sub?
ject tom* to his hearers and pitched io with
gloves off on tbe preseot sins and sincere of
Sumier. He referred to tbe recent acts of
degrading influence in the city. He men?
tioned the dances or bolls held at the cid
armory hall, and the vice of gambling as
repotted in the city of late, especially in the
gambling balls on Main Street, and at the
old Bronson bouse. He also refrerred to tbe
little negro crap shooters of the back lots
All these form? cf gambling were nothing
but stealing, hs said. Gambling could be
nothing more iban taking what was not
one's own by right. He said that gambling
bad only one equal in bis hold upon man
aDd that was the morphine habit
Hin sermon was one of warning and ex?
hortation, delivered in its nsual forceful
manner, and was recaived with rrarked at
tention by the congregation.

ing it talked of so mach, be obtained th? in?
formation given in yesterday's issue and
wrote the article This article eeem? to have
reop'sed the eensation and w&3 discussed by
many last Dight. Some of the people who
dance ?nd think it is proper to do so, in
ferrei from the article that it was a reflection
upon tbe dancers of this city and especially
the Indies. They went to Dr. Brown and
asked bim concerning his words on the sub?
ject f.e e%:d that the article was not alto?
gether correct ir, its statements.
This having reacbed the reporter, bp bad
an interview with Dr, Brown this morning.
Dr iSrowc stated that be did net mention
the o;d armory hall in bis remsrka about
dancing, and that the incident of a young
lady being carried home from a nail in a
state of intoxication, positively did not occur
io Sumter.

impression, ID obtaining the ioformattoa con?
cerning Dr. Brown's sermon at "second"
