' > Governor Blease seems to be having \ things his own way pretty generally with the exception of appointing the special judges. In this the supreme conrt still reigns supreme. ' The Columbia Record is evidently 1 not elated over Governor Blease*s action in vetoing all items in the appro- ' priation bill effecting the city of Columbia. In this connection The ^ Record says: "Really, the governor ] forgot how good Columbia was to him ' last September.*' ? < According to the Colombia Record ( fifty-two cases were heard by Rec order 1 Verner on Monday, "all of which 1 - r-7 ' were of an ordinary v nature, 9och a9 plain drunks, drunks and frills, selling wbiskey and the raising of rough house in Dark town." Wonder if those Colombians were not celebrating the 1 c occasion of the departure of the gen- ^ tlemen of the General Assembly? / Governor Blease has announced that he will not pay for any newspapers ' except those ordered by his secretary, f Mr. Alexander Rowland.

Whoever ^ heard tell of any body getting a square ima*1 in Columbia? We heard a Co Jumbia lawyer say the other day that the reason he liked to bring his cases over here was because he could getk a square meal in Lexington, something unheard of in Colombia.

Ed Kyzer Dies In Rutherford, Tenn. Mr. J. Ed Kyzer, a native of this county but for many years a resident of the State of Tennessee, died in the city of Rutherford, on Sunday, January 8. The following account of his death appeared in the Rutherford Register of January 13: "At about 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, Mr. J E. Kyzer, me of Rutherford's oldest and most prominent and highly respected citizen?, was taken quite ill and died in about two hours, his death being due to heart failure, superinduced by accute indigestion. The deceased had been growing feeble daring the past few months, and his death, though quite sudden, was no great surprise to those who had been associated with him the last several months. Mr. Kyzer was first married to Helen Branham, by whom he had five children, of whom two died quite young. His second wife was Sarah L. Adamson, who died in 1882. In 1884 he was married to Mrs. Annie L. Cowan, who survives him, together with two daughters, Mrs. R. B. Tinkle, of this city, and Mrs. J. H. Holmes of Reform, Ala. Another daughter, Mrs. Mollie Fletcher, died in 1904. Mr. Kyzer was a native of South Carolina, born in 1831, being in his 80th year. He came to Rutherford in 1858 or 1859 and entered the mercantile bnsiness, establishing the first store in the town, at that time a new station on the M. & 0. R. R., which had just been completed, and its first through passenger trains were run through the county in that year. He continued in the general merchandise business until 1900, a period of oyer 40 years, during that time accumulating a competency. He was devoted to hnainftss. and dnrinc these vears had accnmnlated about three thousand acres of Gibson county's rich soil, being in seyeral farms within a few hours ride of his palatial Rutherford home, and which, during the past few years, has risen in value till he was, we think, the largest land owner and perhaps the wealthiest citizen in the county. He was never grasping in his disposition, but conducted his life and business on the live-and-let-live rklftr* and it has nfion heon said of him that he allowed hi9 tenants to bake to themselves the best and mo9fc of everything. Mr. Kyzer was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church of Rutherford, and also of tiie Masonic order. The remains were embalmed and held oyer until Wednesday for the arrival of relatives from a distance. Funeral service was conducted by Rev. I W. M. Robinson of Hambolt, at the 3. P. chorch. in the presence of a ;rowded house, after which the renains were laid to rest in the Rutherford cemetery with Masonic boners. I : t Bryest Kind of Dry. !
