\ Mr. A. DeLebn Moses died at his
home on Washington Street-1 at 1
o'eloc?k S?turday morning after a brief
illness, aged 58 years, 10 months and
a few days. -
3 He became suddenly ill last Thurs
iday night at the Graded Schcol build
' ing where he was acting as door keep:
er for Prof. Buckners's lecture. He
was taken home as soon as possible
and a physicjan summoned. : He was
T\jery ill all night and for several hours
Ll is life was despaired of, but next
morning he was decidedlv^better.' ' "His
illness was caused bv an. attack of an
gina pectoris
.r The deceased was well known to
" most people in all sections of Sum?
ter County and was . generally liked.
He was a good citizen, honest, up?
right, kind and ever ready to do a
-f jtvor or extend a helping hand to his
?brother man. He was a faithful and
[ gallant soldier, and, though small of
statute and a boy in years when he
joined Hampton's Legion at the com?
mencement of the war, he discharg
I ed every duty of a soldier and a man
^throughout ' the four years of hostili?
ties. His comrades often speak of his
sterling worth, his fortitude and his
bravery in the most trying situations.
In. peace as in war he filled his allot?
ted sphere faithfully and "bravely doing
what his hands found to do cheerfully
as a man and a gentleman. His friends,
who are many,- sincerely mourn his
death, for they know that they have
lost-a true friend and comrade and
that the immunity is poorer by his
death.
The funeral services were held from
his late residence on Washington Street
at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Mrv Robt. Edwin- Wilson died-at'his
I home near St. Charles, this county,
at 12.15 Monday night, aged 77 years.
He had an attack of grippe about ten
weeks ago and had been critically ill
ever since. His death has been ex?
pected for several days, as his
strength had been gradually failing
and it was seen that the end was
near. Mr. Wilson was an old Confed?
erate soldier and had many friends and
a large family connection, all of whom
will regret to learn of his death. The
funeral services will be held at Mt.
Zion Church at ll a. m. tomorrow.

It will be necessary within the next
year or two to provide another school
house, if the'attendanee increases at
the same rate as during the past two
years. The Graded School building
has Leen crowded almost, to tbe limit
of its capacity and it will be a prob?
lem this fail to find room for the
children 1 who apply for admis?
sion. The schools are growing each
year and more rooms and more teach?
ers are needed.

HE TOOK NO CHANCES.
John Lewis> colored, who was sent
to the chain gang a few weeks ago for
stealing a bale of cotton from a . Mr.
Thames, made his .escape the .past
week.. He had been on the force be?
fore and had been a trusty, and when
this privilege was granted him again,
it was too much temptation for him.
and he yielded, taking the hounds
with him. It was feared that he had
dispatched the dogs, but they were
found, but too late to be used in trac?
ing him.-Manning Farmer.
The Clarendon officers followed
Lewis' trail to within a few miles of
this city, but then lost it and had to
abandon the pursuit. Lewis left the
dogs at a house iii the lower part of
this county:
BURGLARS CAPTURED.

John Watts' house ; which was search?
ed. Joe Watts figured in an ox steal?
ing scrape last fall in Sumter and Nel?
son is an old jail and penitentiary
bird. There are more, in the gang,
and it is to be hoped they will all be
arrested. J. E. D.
The cotton crop is coming up to a
stand but the cool nights and lack of
rain have retarded growth and the
condition in this county is unfavor?

was little hail, but the wind was very
high and did some damage. A tenant
house on Mr. W. J. Andrews' place
was lifted off the blocks and the chim?
ney of another wa$ blown down.

The location of the cotton platform
for the public weighers is still an un
settled question and the board of Coun?
ty Commissioners and the members of
the Legislature are "a-wrasling"
with it.
On Saturday afternoon a severe wind
storm passed across the country about
three miles East of this city doing a
great deal of damage to the young
crops. Mr. Willie Shaw and others.in
that neighborhood suffered most se?
verely.
A lady wants to know why some
stores close at 6 o*clock, sharp, and
refuse to sell goods to regular custo?
mers who arrive just as the clerks are
leaving the store, while other stores
keep the front doors half open for a
half hour or longer after 6 o'clock
and sell goods to all who come. We
don't know why some people keep
open after Bp. m : the others close be?
cause it is an -unwritten law of the
community and because they pledged
their word to do so. Some people have
no regard for their word and others
don't care a continental cent or any
other old thing about the wishes of
the best people of the community just
so they can take in a stray nickle or
two on the sly.
