Sumter's Waters.
Sumter county has a novelty in the
way of an exhibit o!i "pure water."
It is said that nearly all drinking wa?
ter contains mineral properties. But
this water from Sumter is said to be
"chemically pure." It is artesian
water and may be obtained in inex?
haustible supply. Another exhibit of
wMch Sumter is proud is the display
of labor-saving contrivances invented
and patented by Sumter people. Among
them is car coupler which does away
with all possibility of danger to the
employee, and a hoisting apparatus
for raising drying flames in tobacco
barns.-Exposition Correspondence of

SAD DEATH OF A YOU.tyG HAN.
Other New3 Notes from the Taylor
Section.
Taylor, S. C., April 29.-A gloom
?was .cast over our neighborhood last
week by the sad death of J. Th?odore
McNeill, eldest child bf Mr. and Mrs.
J. J. McNeill of this placed Theodore
W8S taken to Florence for medical
treatment for. some serions throat
trouble, just six weeks before; and
his sad and rather unexpected death,
which occurred April 21st., was a
heavy stroke to his-" beloved parents
and fond sisters and brother, besides
?rhost of other relatives and friends..
"Why one so universally loved, and so
? full of hope and promise, should be
cut '. off we ..cannot know ; but the
/broken hearted parents have the con?
solation that his faith was strong in
God, that his hope rested on a; sure
foundation. . His terrible suffering was
borne without a murm?r at any time.'
Theodore was surely a son to be
pfpud of. So honest and truthful so
thoughtful of others 'ind :chantable
: toward all his 'fe??bwnfen.1 TBfs was
his third"year- at ^?mson College
where he.'-had. made.g?t?'%?t?$ and
mahyr friends. ^His l?r^y ^attended ;

much" he w^ . "5?>J
i v heardSunday of the sad. deatli
l?tyMj^^Sd?^t Johnson, :son" pf ?Mrs;
Wn? Johnson^ of Sh?oS;. It seems
that there was some uneasiness; on the
part of- the family: cpnorning Mr;'
. Johnson,so a physician /was called rn
and while the family were. .consulting
the physician,; he.V went to' Ms robin
and shot Mmself, killing himself in?
stantly. He was "'supposed to ' be
insane.. The situation is very sad, as
Mrs*. Johnson lost uer husband last
fall^ and a daughter (a young married;
lady) last summer.
We are sorry to hear; of the con?
tinued illness pf Mr. Jac?b. Ke?ls and
hope he will: be much benefited by
his trip;to Asheville,- N. Cl, I where'ne'
h?s gone for his health.
