John Michael Epting was born about 32 years ago on his father's farm in Saluda township near Saluda river. His father is D. I. Epting and his mother, a daughter of Mr. Chal Lutton. He received his primary and academic training at Pine Ridge Academy about threes miles from his 1 XTanrKavmr PaIIooto I liUXUC* 11C CUt^iCU waav^v ! in 1894 and graduated therefrom in I 1898 with honor. After his graduation he taught school at several places in the county, the (last in the town of Brookland, his adopted home. He was elected a member of the Hou&e of Representatives from Lexington county at the general election in 1904 in a contest with some of the best men of the county. Again in 1906 he was prevailed upon by his friends to make the race for the House and in the primaries of that year was nominated oy a very flattering vote in a contest on important issues and in competition with some of the best legislative candidates the county afforded, all of them older than he, mid was elected again at the general election in 1906. On the floor of the House he early made his mark as a fluent and forceful talker, endowed with the courage to speak his convictions without fear. He was prominent on the floor as the champion of the ten hour labor law for cotton mill employees. Mr. Epting was a man of much common sense, good judgment% and affable manner. * His speeches on the stump were always full of thought and his position on all public questions was stated in no uncertain or equivocal language. During the campaign of 1906 he made some exceptionally good speeches and was always well received wherever he attempted to epeak. He married Miss Maggie Lybrand, daughter of Rev. E. L. Lybrand, of Brookland. He had recently built himself and family a nice home near that of his father-in-law and was doing well. He died on Sunday night, the seoond, of gall stones. He was buried in Macedonia church cemetery on Tuesday, the fourth. The funeral services were conducted in the church "by Revs. C. A. Freed, pastor of Ebenezer church, Columbia, and E. J. Sox, pastor of St. Peter's church, Lexington Fork. He was baptized, attended Sunday school and was confirmed in Macedonia church, of which church lie was at one time a deacon. Lexington county has lost one of her most useful and capable young men and the State a valued officer and citizen. The county mourns his loss, and while all of U3 feel the deep sorrow thus cast upon us by an allwise God, none of us can feel that proignant grief which rests like lead on the stricken heart of his bereaved wife. We all sympathize deeply with her and with his parents and with hers, and Drav our Father to give them and OPTICIAN, JEWELER, 4 i 1439 Main St., Columbia, S.
