He will be buried at this place Friday morning at 11 o'clock. A Rea! Aristocrat. Col.

He went to the front but was found to he physically Incapacitated and came back home, though for a time he acted as secretary to Col. John Bacon.

Among the pa pers to whicu he has contributed most are The State of Columbia, S. C., and the News and Courier of Charleston, S. C. Besides, he became quite well known as a lecturer during the lat ter portion of his life. As a writer, he had a style pecu liar to himself that always arrested attention. While he could write as softly as the breezes, when necessity called for it, he could write in a man ner to make his opponents feel the strength of his mind. 'While gentle and courteous to all, he was brave and ever ready to do his duty. He was well-known and loved by many people of this state, Georgia and oth er states with many friends who were always glad to be in his company. All Loved Hfm. He was never married, but the friendship of the ladies and the chil dren for him gave strong evidence of his lovable character. No wedding In this county of note, and few at a dis tance, were considered complete with out his presence when he usually play ed In his accomplished way, the wed ding march. Col. Bacon leaves surviving him, his sister, Mrs. Kate Wigfall Cheat ham, his nephew, Mr. L. Wigfall Cheatham, of the Edgefield Chronicle, his nieces, Mrs. Fred G. Swaffield and Mrs. D. I.

EVANS HAS lEIMEOTO GUI la Very Much Pleased With Prospects For School Year. Says Child ren Must Have Health Certificates. Bupt. Lawton B. Evans has returned to the city after a two weeks’ trip north. Mr. Evans Is very muon pleased with the prospects for the school year that will open on ,-ept. 18th., but he states that the attendance for the first week will be rather small on acoount oi the fact that many of the children win fall to provide themselves with the re qHired health certificates. Mr. Evans aa.d that ae thought th health certificates was a good thing, ana he believed that It would go a long ways toward keeping children, who have been in contact with courageous diseases away from the schools, until the physicians would give them a clean bUI of health. The certificates can be signed by any physicians, and It Is to the effect that the bearer of the certificate has not been exposed to any contaglus disease rot ten thoys, and that the child himself, is not suffering from any disease. The children o».fi get (tie btank cer. tlflcates by applying to the principals ol any of the schools, and It will greatly ; faclllate matters If they wUI pin the certificate to the promotion card Mon day morning, when they come to school. If a child comes to school without the certificate, they will be sent back home to get one filled out. The work on the John Milledge school grounds, and the work of building the new room on the Monte Sano school Is about finished and these schools are In readiness for the opening. The other schools are In line shape, and the open ing, If the children secure the health certificates, will be a successful one.
