Haynsworth, ttie senior member of the bar of Sumter, president of the Bank of Sumter and Sumter's most honored citizen, died at his home on East Cal? houn street-at 8:45 o'clock this morn? ing, aged eighty years, three months aiid twenty-five^ days.- He had been slightly indisposed for a few days but nat the least apprehension was felt of a fatal termination of, his illness. He attended church on Sunday but on Monday was not able to be out. Yes? terday he was feeling much better and expected to attend a meeting of the directors of the . Bank of Sumter in the afternoon, but decided not to do so as he was suffering with a slight touch of rheumatism. last night he had quite a severe attack of indiges? tion and it was necessary to call in a physician. This morning, however, he 'ivas apparently much better although quite-weak. At 8:45 o'clock, while sit ling up he suddenly expired, the im? mediate cause of his death being heart lailure brought on by the attack last night and the consequent weakness. Mr. Haynsworth was born in this city November 27, 1824 and Sumter was his home throughout his life. He attended the South Carolina college and was graduated in the class of :L844. He studied law and was shortly after bis graduation admitted to the bar and began the practice of his pro? cession. He continued in active prac idce up to the time of his death. For :nany years he was associated with the :ate T. B. Fraser, the firm being dis? solved when the latter was elevated to the bench. For some years he was associated with Mr. R. L. Cooper and more recently the firm has been Haynsworth & Haynsworth, bis sons, Messrs. Edgar C. and Hugh C. Hayns? worth, having been admitted to mem? bership in the firm. Mr. Haynsworth was justly regard? ed one of the ablest and most erudite lawyers in the state, his opinion be jp^^rSe?by both bench and bar. He was for many years commis sioner of equity for Sumter county, ac ceptably filling the office until it was abolished subsequently to the war. Following the redemption of the State in 1876 he was for years treasurer of Sumter county. When the Bank of Sumter was or? ganized in 1888 he was elected presi? dent, which office he occupied con? tinuously up to his death. He was a member of the Baptist church and was ever an influential member and foremost in works of charity and benevolence. Mr. Hayns worth leaves six children, Messrs. Edgar C., John R. and Hugh C., of this city, Rev. William Hayns? worth of Darlington and Misses Fan? nie and Lulla Haynsworth of this city. MR. R. D.

Camden, March 19.-Many homes in this community are deeply sadden? ed on account of the death of Mrs. Samuel Boykin, which occurred at her home, a few^miles below Camden, yes? terday evening.

Nb purer, sweeter life ever blessed any community than that of this sainted mother in Israel. FOUNDRY IN OPERATION. Edgar Skinner Has Added Important Department to His Plant. The foundry at Skinner's machine shops which was recenty erected is now in successful operation and a first class line of miscellaneous castings is being turned out. The first run was made a few days ago and the second this morning. On neither occasion was there a single mishap, every casting turning out per? fect, An experienced foundryman is in charge of this department and any work in iron or brass casting or machine repairing that can be done in a well equipped machine shop and foundry can can be doneby Skin? ner's Machine shop. Attention is called to the advertise? ment of Mr. R. H. Bigham, who is. of? fering great inducements in the furni? ture line in order to make room for his new stock of goods which is arriv? ing daily. FUNERAL OF MR. HAYNSWORTH. All Business Suspended During the Hours of Seri ice. The funeral of Maj. W. F. B. Haynsworth was held at the Bartlett Street Baptist Church at 32 o'clock Friday,and during the hour of the ser? vice all the stores and business offices of the city were closed as a mark of respect. The church was crowded until there was not standirg room, and gathered around the church there were hun? dreds who could not gain admission. The entire community sought to do honor to the memory of a man who had the confidence, respect and love of the people of Sumter. His death is regarded as a personal bereavement by all who knew him and the cessation of business while his body was being borne to its last resting place was but an outward sign of the grief that his death has caused. > The services which were conducted by Rev. F. M. Satterwhite, assisted by Rev. C. C. Brown, were of the simplest description, and the re? marks were confined to the briefest but most sincere testimonials to the character and worth of the deceased. For such an one eulogies would have been out of place, his life having been the best and truest index of his character and worth His mortal body was tenderly borne to its last earthly resting place by the hands of sorrowing friends, there to await the final summons. THE MEMORIAL SERVICE. S A memorial service in honor of the late Maj. William F. B. Hayns worth held in the First Baptist Church Sun? day night was attended by a congre? gation that taxed the seating capacity of the church. The aidress delivered by Dr. Brown was a worthy tribute to a man whose worth this community knew full well. It gave a complete and admirable sketch of Mr. Hayns worth's life and an appreciation cf^his character as a citizen and Christian.
