Died in this city list Thursday night, after a brief illness of pneu? monia, Mr. William White Dick in the 54th year of his age. Mr. Dick was born in Sumter Dis? trict on June 6th, 1848, and was the son of Dr. Thomas Morritt Dick and Elizabeth White, his wife, and was thus descended from two of the oldest and most prominent families in this section of the State. His parents having both died wThilst he was quite young, he was reared by his maternal uncle, the late William Nelson White, at his plantation resi? dence, a few miles north of Sumter, C. H. He pursued his academic studies in the schools of Sumter and at Cheraw, S. C., until the latter part o:r the year 1864. At that time the sixteen-year old boys were calli ed into the service of the Confederacy and Mr. Dick at once volunteered. He served in the State troops during the brief remain? ing period of the civil war, and until the star of the ill-fated Southern Con? federacy went down forever. In 1875 he married his cousin, Miss Elizabeth' Lee, daughter of the late Col George W. Lee," of Sumter, and shortly thereafter removed to the city of Charleston, which has ever since been the place of his family residence. He then became engaged in mercan? tile pursuits and for many years repre? sented prominent wholesale houses of that city, principally as traveling salesman. For the past few years and until bis death he has represented in a similar capacity a leading brokerage firm of this city. These occupations brought him into intimate personal and business rela? tions with many persons and firms chiefly in Central and Eastern Caroli? na, and his death will be deplored by a wide circle of friends and acquaint? ances. His urbanity of manner, the genu? ine warmth of his friendship, his probity and integrity of character and his unfailing courtesy won for him many friends and stamped him the true and perfect gentleman. He is survived by his widow, three sons and a daughter. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church at 4.30 o'clock Friday afternoon, and his remains were carried to Charleston by the afternoon's train and the interment made in Magnolia Ceemtery. For years he was an officer of the West? minster Presbyterian Church, of that city. Funeral of Mr. W. W. Dick. The funeral services of Mr. W. W. Dick, which were held in the Presby? terian Church at 4.30 o'clock Fri? day afternoon were attended, by a"large congregation composed of relatives and friends of the deceased. It was not decided to have the funeral in this city until noon Thursday and in the short time intervening between that hour and the hour appointed for the service it was impossible to extend the notice to all who would have otherwise attended the funeral^ to pay a last mark of respect to their' friend. The services were brief and simple, but Dr. Edmunds, feelingly and fitting? ly expressed the sentiment of the com? munity in his tribute to the dead that the city and State had lost one whom we can ill afford to spare and that the world is the poorer by the less of a good man and a gentleman of the finest and truest instincts. The active pall bearers were his nephews, Messrs. Dozier Lee, D. M. Dick, J. M. Dick, L. F. Kennedv, J. K. White. T. H. Clark and Dr's. G. W. and A. C. Dick. The bonorarv ball bearers were: W. A. Bowman, H. Harbv, H. J. Harbv, R, L. Wright, W. A. Cooper, A. j. Moses, W. M. Graham and B. G. Gibson-the members of the firm with which he was associated and his old schoolmates who attended the Cheraw Academy with him during the early years of the war. Died, this morning, Mrs. Jennie Hawkins, wife of Mr. W. P. Hawkins and daughter of Capt. D. J. Brad ham. She had been a sufferer for sev? eral months and her death, though no surprise, brings severe grief to her hus? band and two sons and many friends. She was just 38 years of age, lacking two days, and has since early girl? hood been a communicant of the Bap? tist Church. The remains will be buried tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the Manning cemetery.-Manning Times, Jan. 22. Cause For Alarm in Dr. Pate's Condition. Dr. Gregg considers the case of Dr. J. Thos.

Bultman died at his home on Liberty street at 6.30 o'clock last night, of Brights disease, after a protracted illness, aged 53 years. Mr. Bultman was a native of Wagen field-Broekel, Hanover,'Germany, but came to this country in early man? hood. His elder brother, the late C. F. A. Bultman, had established him? self in business in this city and short? ly after arriving in America the deceased came to this city and became associated in business with his broth? er. He was an expert shoemaker, hav? ing learned the trade in the shop of his father, who was a tanner and shoe? maker at Wagenfield. The firm of Bult? man Bros., soon established a success? ful business, and from about 1888 until the present time Bultman's shoe store has been one of the best known etsab lishments of this city. Mr. Bultman had the respect and confidence of the community, a well merited tribute to his sterling worth and business integrity, and he had many friends here and in all parts of the county who will hear of his death with feelings of sorrow. He was a member of Claremont Lodge No. 64, A. F. M., Beulah Chapter R. A. M., and Hollywood Camp Woodmen of the World. The funeral services will be held in the Lutheran Church at 4 o'clock this afternoon. GEORGE D. BREARLEY DEAD. "One by One We Cross the River." Mr. Geo. D. Brearley died at his home on Wednesday night after a long period of feeble health. The last tribute of respect was ren? dered this morning, at Mt. Zion church, by a concourse of relatives and friends from this and adjoining counties ; the funeral rites being con? ducted by the pastor, Rev. V. R. Gas? ton, assisted by Prof. Bean of Clin? ton, a warm personal friend of the de? ceased. Mr. Brearley married Miss Mamie LaCoste who preceeded him to the other shore several years since, leav? ing two tender children to his patern? al care and that of a devoted sister Miss Elizabeth Brearley, the well known instructress, who will now have sole charge of these orphaned little ones, and those who know her are sat? isfied the sacred trust will be .tenderly and faithfully filled to the letter. Mr. Brearley was 53 years of age, and< an interesting coincidence of the ser? vices was that the age and natal day of deceased and the Rev. Bean was the same, as they had in past times cele? brated alternately at each other's home. "One is taken and the other left." George Brearley was a man of retiring disposition: unobtrusive and unostentious, he sought neither pub? licity nor popular favor, though warm and loyal to the friends he made. He was preeminently a farmer and successful therein. He was the oldest of three brothers who moved to this county from Darlington many years since, the other two being Mr. Archv A. Brearley of this place and Mr. Wm. Brearlev of Wisackv. J." M. R. SI. Charles, Jan. 24. What's Your Face Worth.

A tree is judged by the fruit it bears, and so a country is judged its repre? sentatives. This country is compara? tively young, and it is a little surpris? ing that it should have had such men as Lee and Jackson to rise before the world as its representatives in so short a time. General Jackson was a Puritan, of Puritan stock, strong in his views, but narrow-we may say bigoted. He was a man of deep religious convictions. When at the first battle of Manassas, the troops of Bee, Bartow and others were being overcome by McDowell and his army, Bee rode up to Jackson and told him the state of affairs. Jackson said to him, "Well sir, we'll give them the bayonet. " These words have made him famous the world over. General Bee called to his troops to look at Jackson standing like a "stone-wall." Thus Jackson received the name "Stonewall" from a South Carolinian. He was rapidly promoted to the command of the troops in the Valley of Virginia where, as a division com? mander he led campaigns which made him famous the world over for the rapidity and dash of his attack and the stubborness of his defense. General Lee, on the other hand, was a cavalier, of old and distinguished ancestry. He received a military edu? cation and on leaving school he enter? ed the United States Army, of which be could have been commander-in chief, had he not considered it his dutv to leave when Virginia, his native state, seceded. He was made com? mander-in-chief of the Confederate Army and for four years in a gigantic struggle, kept nt bey an army thrice the strength of his own. During this period with this high rank, he bore the arduous duties and the vast re? sponsibilities pertaining to that rank. As a subordinate, General Jackson was unsurpassed. He was Lee's right hand, but Leo was Jackson's bead. Lee's was the master mind that plan? ned the campaigns ol' the lesser officer. As we see them, the one of sterling worth and honesty, yet narrow: tho other, also of sterling worth but broad of view and more perfectly shaped along all his lines. As generals; the one, a subordinate commander, was unsurpassed in his strict and sure obedience to the or? ders of his superior, brave in battle and firm of purpose: the other, the general that planned the brilliant moves executed by the subordinate: full of resources and unlimited capa? city. CITY COUNCIL MEETING. The City Council held a regular meeting at 8 o'clock last Wednesday night. Present Mayor Stuckey, Aldermen Boyle, Chandler. W. H" Epperson, Finn, Hurst, Purdy and Rowland. Absent, Alderman Geo. F. Epperson. Messrs. J. K. Murphey and Horace Harby, Jr., Attorney, representing the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele grapth Co., were present and request? ed the adoption of an ordinance per? mitting their company to erect, ope? rate and maintain lines of telephone and telegraph over the public roads and streets as its business may from time to time require, the purpose being, for the present to operate a long distance line, with the expecta? tion of establishing a local exchange at a later day in competition with the Sumter Telephone Co. Council so changed the proposed ordinance as to grant the lease of the streets for a long distance line only, promising to consider their request for right to establish a local exchange when the company shall desire to build and place it in operation. The ordinance as read was unanimously adopted. Under a resolution to dispense with the rule which requires two readings. Mr. H. L. Scarborough, Superinten? dent of the Sumter Water Co., came to answer complaints made in regard to defective water pressure at the re? cent fire on Church street, when Mr. H. D. Moise's residence was destroy? ed. He stated that an examination had shown there had been an ob? struction jpf the water flow which had been found and removed. How or by whom the obstruction was made he did not say, but that the pressure on its removal was good and sufficient. He said his company is desirous of giving good service and are ready at all times to correct any difficulty that may be known to exist. He asked that the hydrant be tested by Council. On Mr. Purdy's motion it was referred to the Mayor and fire department chiefs to witness tests and report to Council. Z. E. Walker requested Council to refund a fine of $25 imposed upon Moses Farmer Dec. 16th 1901, by Mayor Pro Tem Hurst for disturbance of the peace and cutting James Mid? dleton with a knife. He stated that Middleton died a few days after the cutting and that Farmer is now held for murder. That Farmer's family are all very poor and under the cir? cumstances the fine should be refund? ed. Council declined to disturb the sentence of the Mayor's court. The minutes of meetings held Jan. Sth, 13th and 16th were read and confirmed. Tho Fire Committee reported ap? proval of all bills referred to them. The Paving Committee reported work progressing satisfactory. Mr. Finn presented a letter from J. R. Haynsworth, Surveyor, in reference to the contract for the survey of the city and making of a map. A request from Crosswell & Co. and others for a street lamp between the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern Railway depot was referred to Com? mittee Public Works. The Committee of Public Works re? ported that Dr. Archie China in building a fence on New street is encroaching on the sidewalk. The Mayor was requested to confer with Dr.* China and adjust the matter. Mr. H. D. Moise requested as sug? gested by letter that letters should be filed with the city clerk from Mr. H. L. Scarorbough," Supt. and Mr. W. H. Epperson, Engineer, of the Sumter Water Co., setting out the facts as to what had been done between the time of his fire and the subsequent investi? gation made by them. Received as information. On Mr. Purdy's motion, the city at? torney was requested to prepare an act to be'presented to the Legislature for adoption, authorizing the city to im? pose a license tax on bicycles. The Clerk and Treasurer's Decem? ber report was referred to the Finance Committee. Council then adjourned. SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL. The Good Roads Movement-C|ay and Sand Road To Be Built. The City Council held a called meeting at'lO.30 a. m. Tuesday. Present, Mayor Stuckey, Aldermen Chandler, G. * F. Epperson,. W. H. Epperson, Hurst and Purdy. Absent, Aldermen Boyle, Finn and Rowland. The matter before the meeting was a proposition to put clay on Blanding (the Stateburg road) street from Church Street to the city limits, along which section of street a clay side? walk is now being laid by Street uom rnissioner White. . After some discusson it was decided to have the proposed clay road built as suggested and Street Commissioner White was directed to proceed with the work at once, using the entire street force. It is thought that the work will require from three to four weeks to complete it with the present force of hands. |\ Kain and sweat fc-f^X V \ V I <?J have r.o e!:cct oa BfW?J& J^S^yS ? 5???X??
