That the suffrage should be taken from . the negroes in the Southern States." In speaking of the exercises the Columbia State says: "Mr. A. Rea ty Sherard, of k Anderson, the last speaker of the affirma tive and who closed the debate, was next introduced by President Turnbull. Mr. Sherard delivered in a graceful and easy manner a convincing argument why the i negro should be disfranchised. He touched . briefly upon the constitution and showed how laws could be framed depriving the ? negro of suffrage without violating the i Federal constitution. Mr. Sherard pos sesses a deep, full and clever voice, which added much to his excellent argument. Many times during bis speech the audi ence vociferously cheered bim. He pre sented clear cot and convincing reasons. He was loudly applauded at the close of his speech. The judges, Secretary of State Tompkins. Gen. Leroy F. Youmans and Hon. R. W. Shand, then retired to the stir ring strains of "Disie" to make up their decision. Shortly afterward they returned and Gen. Youmans, as spokesman for the committee, awarded the medal to Mr. A. Beaty Sherard as the best debater." Ruth, the 7-year old daughter of Mr. Will. Pepper, met with a horrible acci dent last Mouday afternoon at 5 o'clock that caused her death in a few hours. She was making a fire in the stove, and while pouring some kerosene oil on the wood lt blazed suddenly and exploded the can, which ignited her clothing. The screams of tho unfortunate girl attracted the at tention of both her father and mother, who ran to her assistance. The mother dashed a bucket of water on the girl, and the father attempted to pull the burning clothing irom her body, but ttieir efforts proved futile, and their darling daughter was burned from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. Mr. Pepper was also painfully burned on his hands and arms. The little girl lived about live hours after the accident, and, though her sufferings were terrible, she retained her mental faculties almost to the last mo ment. She talked very consolingly to her loved ones during these hours, tell ing them that she was going to die and begging them not to grieve for her, for she would soon be with the angels in Heaven. Ruth was a very bright and interesting girl, and was a favorite with all of her friends, who deeply grieve her death. On yesterday afternoon the re mains were interred in the Neal's Creek churchyard, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. M. McGee. The parents and other loved ones have the sympathies of all their friends in their sore bereavement.
