C. tANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, npany by the State of New Jersey Home Office, Newark, N. J LOBE BEY GOO n^onsrczE^TQusT, BT, ) of Your Valued Patrc ??????? Death of Mrs. Geo. S. Drafts. At half past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, surrounded by loved ones Cl and friends, the gentle spirit of Mrs, ^ Emeline Drafts, the beloyed wife of e: the Hon. Geo. S. Drafts, judge of pro- ^ bate, took its flight and returned to A the God who gave it, as pure and as S spotless as when it first saw the light 0 of day. ^ For several weeks she suffered, ^ bearing her affliction with that fortitude characteristic of the christian. s< "God touched him with His finger, CJ and he slept," the poet, wrote. So J1 may we say of this dear life?"God 1? ' touched her with His finger, and she 0 1 slept," but not until a beautiful life a was lived, a noble example of pa- v tience, fidelity to truth and faith were a given. Not until visions of a heaven- 01 ly life, in Christ Jesus, had cheered " and illumined the valley of the shad- ^ ow. And now, that she sleeps, mem- h ory takes np the harp of life, and smiting the strings, finds that her vir- ^ toes melt into music. So it ever is,1 ^ when alife is nobly and divinely lived. J' Life will never be quite the same to P those who knew her, while those who f were nearest to her will long for her ^ with unutterable longinra?long for a ? mother's counsel and advice, and a * wife's gentle and loving sympathy. * She was a woman of strong christian a character; patient, loving and self- 8 sacrificing. e Well may her children cherish her v memory as a precious legacy and we v fain would say a word of comfort to a the stricken ones we can but let our * tears flow in sympathy with theirs, r and point them to the promise, "At c eventide it shall be light." * The deceased was about 69 years of ^ age and is survived by her husband, 5 and the following children: Dr. An- c drew B. Drafts, of Hendersonville, ? N. C., Mr. Chas. H. Drafts, of Augusta, and Mrs. Lizzie Boozer and Mrs. ' X Thos. P. Meetze, of Lexington. She is al9o survived by one brother, Mr. 8 Levi Wheeler, of the Fork. ' The funeral services will be con- * ducted from St. Stephen's Lutheran a church by Rev. T. S. Brown and Rev. 8 r J. A. Cromer this afternoon at 3 o'clock, the interment to follow immediately thereafter in the Drafts bur- ' ying ground, near Lexington. c Prcf. Black Honored. i c rr,l i.

Ernst Gary, of Columbia, presiding. Socitor Timmerman, Stenographer .nderson, Clerk of Court Shealy, heriff Corley and the other officials f the court were at their posts, and le machinery was begun without deiy. Judge Gary delivered one of the ;rongest and most far-reaching harges co the grand jury ever heard ere. He stated at the outset that it i always a pleasure to preside over a ourt in Lexington, where the people re so hospitable and kind, but it was ery unpleasant indeed to find such n array of indictments; that nine ises had been brought over from the ist term, and the solicitor had inarmed him that there were a very irge number to be handed out during his term. He then branched off on he wave of crime that is prevalent Lroughont the laud, and urged the arors to be men and do their part in utfcing a stop to all crimes and to use very effort in their power to suppress t. He cited a number of statistics to how the amount of crime that is daiy occurring in the United States and rhat it costs the government in the ttempt to check it. He said that the tatistics show that only two out of very hundred cases tried are conicted in the courts of this country, rhile in England, France, Germany ,nd Belgium, the percentage of conictions is very much larger. As a esult, he pointed out, crime in those ountries is not near so prevalent, le closed with an earnest and eloquent plea for intelligence in the jury ?anel, and urged the jurors of this ouuty to help aid in the enforcement >f our laws. "Do your part," he said, 'and I'll do mine." The first case taken up was that of leber Davis, a negro, charged with issault and battery with intent to :ill. The jury, of which A. Madison iutto of Pelion, was foreman, found , verdict of guilty of assault of a high md aggravated nature. All of the >arties were negroes. The trial of John Miller, a white nan, charged with assault and batery with intent to kill, was begun on donday afternoon. Miller was :harged with having fired a 9hotgun nto the home of Mr. John Head, near >axe-Qotha, several months ago while tn old-fashioned candy-pulling was in >rogre9s. Three of the occupants of he room were injured by the shot, >ut none of them fatally. True bills were returned in the folowing cases: John Miller, assault ind battery with intent to kill; J. A. Slack welder, violation of State bankng laws, three cases; W. A. Oxner, >racticing medicine and surgery with>ut a license; Jacob Koon, assault vnd battery with intent to kill. The lefendant pleaded guilty and was eenenced to pay a fine of ?-50 or ervse 4 nonths on the chaingang; W. B. jlenn, murder; Elmore Koon, murler; M. B. and Artie Buff, assault and >attery with intent to kill; Henry jyles, murder; Mack Hill and Will jeaphart, assault and battery with inent to kill; C. H. Counts, et al., larieny from field; James Bundrick, vitiation of liquor laws. The grand jury finished its work resterclay ana were aismisseu. ? mi ||i ? Srastus Risinger Charged With Silling Mitchell. Erastus Risinger, a young white nan of Freedonia, was arrested and edged in jail on Monday by Constaile George \V. Asbill upon a warrant worn out before Magistrate Shealy iy Jajnes Ford, charging Rilinger nth the killing of Henry Mitchell, a egro, at Freedonia, on the night of lay 5, last. A negro Dy the name of )enley was also arrested as being .an ccessory before and after the fact, >ut was later released, the officers beng satisfied that the negro was innoent. The arrest of Risinger was due to he persistent efforts of Solicitor Timlerman, who, upon being informed f the circumstances surrounding the ase, took the matter up with Uoveror Ansel, who, in turn, dispatched )etective Rowell to the scene. As a esult of the work of Mr. Rowell suftiient evidence was secured to fasten he killing on the white man. E. L. Asbill, attorney for Risinger, lade motion Jor bail before Judge lary at once, which was granted, the mount beiug fixed at $3,000. r T, COLUMBIA, C. >mpt Attention, Otahar ittf ARE WE JUST Perhaps we ought to achievement.
