REPORTED BY
MOSSY DALE.
Rev. R. E. Sharp is still at the
hospital in Rock Hill, and' we are sor
ry t, say that the last report says
he is not doing well. -
Cotton is all picked and sold and
the cows turned into the fields, and
it is only the 10th of October. Who

of which would enable us to get in
our early grain crop if We could plow
the land, but it is so hard and dry
that plowing has stopped.
There is a great bartering in doga
going on now. A good tree dog will
sell for as much as an ordinary milk
COW.
The many friends of A. P. Irby
wil be delighted to know that he is
1egotiating with a northern compa'
ny who wants him to go on the stage
as a lecturer. He made his ulaiden
effort as a declaimer some time ago
at Bethel school house and held the
aience 6pell-bound with his great
Big*gs of eloquence. Wave after
wave floated out on the still night air
and was echoed by my bunch of pines
a mile away. But not until his re
sponse -to an encore with the recita
tion of a poem did he reach the
height of his glory-the like of which
has never been listened to since Wil
1am Jennings Bryan's famous 16-to
1 speech on the floor of the conven
tion that first nominated him for
prasident. Though, I believe, Mr.
Irby's gestures woul have been more
graceful if the gnats had not both
ered his bald head while he was
speaking.
It vws ny pleasure to be in the
hospitable home of Dr. Hamilton the
other day, and, while I had seen many
ofis war relics, medals etc., the
half had never been told. He has
more loving cups, badges ind marks
- of distinction than an ordinary man
could merit in so short a time. Of
a truth I believe that the Doctor hai
been somewhere.
I predicted several months ago that
Beckham would be home after the
crop was gathered. Well, the crop is
about all in and Beckham is at home.
What do you think of a man that
knocked a poor old sow down with a
rock because he couldn't drive her'
thru the lot gate, and then dressed
her and took her to town and sold
her. That man is a steward in the
church, t09.

DEATH OF CAPT.
H. A. GAULARD
Captain Henry'Augustus Gaillard,
who died in Charleston on Satur
day, October 8th, was born on his
father's plantation, St. John's Par
ish, Berkley County, November 26,
1837, the son of David Gai'Iard and
Louise C. DuBose. His father's re
moval to settle in Fairfield District,
while young Hemy was an infant,
gave to Fairfield a son who became
one of her most useful and one of
her best beloved citizens, one who
became wholly identified with the
county in the most tragic and im
portant period of her history, a de
voted son with his whole heart and
soul always responsive to what he
conceived to be for the best inter
ests of her people. Few men, and
none at the time of his death, were
so well informed as to the history
of the county and who felt a keener
pride in her story, and in the pe
culiar worth of the citizenship pro
duced on its red hills resting upon
their granite foundation, typical of
the best human products of the Old
District.
He entered Mount Zion in his ear
ly youth, and went to the Arsenal ist
Charleston. and was graduated from
the Citadel in 1867, Coming home,
he remained on his father's planta
tion near Winnsboro until 1859, when
he entered the University of Virginia
to 'take a course in law, but two
years later the War Between the
States came, and the morning of his
brilliant young manhood :was thus
turning his footsteps toward the bat
tle fields, where his thoughts for so
many.l.ng,_years 'dwelt, and -where
he was to find comrades, ties of love
:and frendship remained, in nemory
ti~ghout life, and whose deeds of
so many in our midst have heard his
eloquent tongue narrate with a force
and power not often excelled.
He was Adjutant of the Sixth
Regiment. Jenkins' Brigade. after
wards Bratton's, He served the full
period of the war.
At the close of the war. he fin
ished his course in law in the office
of the late Col. James H; Rion.
Shortly after his admission to the
bar he was elected by the General
Assembly, probably 1866, COmmis
sioner in Eauity for the then Dis
trict of Fairfield. and served in that
office until it was gbolished in 1868.
He forn-d a copartnership with the
late R. Means Davis under the name
of Gaillard & Davis, for the oractice
of law. Mr. Davis becoming the head
of Mt. Zion anud afterwards- a pro
fessor in the State University, John
S. Reynolds took his place under the
style of C'aillard & leynolds. He,
Davis, and Reynolds owned The
News and Hferald arnd edited it a
number of years.
The whirlwind of reconstruction
brought out Gaillard's' hiehest tal
ents and he caught his inspiration
from the o-eat storm. Into those
stirring days he threw all his great
-hysical power and mental "ifts.
Hi5 fervid oi4atory. especially his pe
cliar persuasive powers .not often
equalled as a public speaker, his
magnetic, genial, courteous person
ality. readily attracting men to him.
and withal modest, made him one of
he leaders of the time, and a pow
n" among his fellowmen. His
friends, in days gone, were fond of
relating how on an exciting day in
Winnboro. when a great mass of
neoile had gathered in the town and
becoming turbulent over the pres
n, of a radical leader. were breath
ine~ out threatenings of violence, how
aillard mounted a box on the old
Winnboro Hotel corner, electrified
the throng, soothed their anger and
ersuaded them to yield to wise and
sane counsel. And they loved him
for it.
Centain Gaillard delighted in read
ne the best literature and standard
English authors, and thus acquired
o correct a knowledge of the
structure of the language that it
made him a very fluent, elegant and
'"'ohil 5nesker. His great strength
