LOCAL NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4, 1899. Death of Mr. Joseph Martin. Oar citizens were greatly surprised Tuesday moraine: hy the announce ment of the death of Mr. Joseph Mar tin. Very few knew he was ill. He was on the streets in usual health the * first of the week, and on Thursday morning last came up to go to work, but was seized with a chill and forced to go homo and take his bed. An at . tack of pneumonia developed from which he could not be rallied and he breathed his last at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, in thc 62nd year of his age Very few men were better known in this County than Joseph Martiu, and few men occupying the same modest position in life have been so univer sally esteemed. His faults were lost, sight of in his affable generous nature and in his dealings with men which exempli lied tho practice of the golden rule as fully as man can practice it. Mr. Martin was a native of Ireland and carno to America when fifteen years old. In his last moments', when disease held sway over his brain, his mind wandered back to- the days of his boyhood in old Ireland, and taking up the thread ot* life where it ran through those sunny days spent tho last hours of his life ?admid the happy, joyous .days of his youth. For nearly a half century Anderson ?as been thc home of Mr. Martin, and v hero he has raised a large family of children; and -while his business as harness maker did not reward him with wealth, honor always abode in his home, and is left as a heritage to v his children. ' The wife and ten children survive him, ail of whom ?regrowri except two. The remains were interred at Silver Brook Cemetery this morning, after . services at the* home, conducted, by, Rev. J. N.II. Summerell. The deceas ed had been a niombcr of the Presby . . terian Church all his life. Pendleton Items.

Suit has been entered against the County of Anderson for damages in the sum of $10,000. The Plaintiff named is Phyllis Harris, as administratrix of the estate of Elbert Harris, deceas ed. Messrs. Quattlebaum & Cochran are attorneys for the Plaintiff and the complaint sets out, in substance, the following facts: On the 201 h of May, 1898, Elbert Har ris was aiTesred on a charge of arson and carried before Magistrate James L. Jackson at Cooks, who examined into the charge and sent the case to the Court of General Sessions. In default of bond, A. W. McCullough was duly appointed special constable and given charge of the prisoner with warrant of commitment and started to the County Jail. Enroutc, and on the same Jay, 20th May, the constable was met and overpowered by a mob, thc prisoner taken from him and severely beat and wounded from the effects of which he died on May 24th, 1898, and judgment is asked against the County for the sum of $10,000 and costs. The papers were tiled in the Clerk's office December 31st just passed and service duly made on W. P. Snclgrovc, thc County Supervisor. This suit is evi dently based upon Section 0 of Article 6 of the Constitution, which provides among other things as follows: "in all cases of lynching, when death en sues, the County where such lynching takes place shall; without regard to the conduct of officers, be liable in ex emplary damages of not less than two thousand dollars to the legal represen tatives ?of thc person so lynched : Prodded, further, That any County against which a judgment has been ob tained for damages in case of lynching shall have the right to recover thc amount of said judgment from the par ties engaged in said lynching in any Court of competent jurisdiction." If the facts can be established the lajv appears to be very plain. Married. On Tuesday, December 27, 1898, by Magistrate S. H. Stone and ut his resi dence, Mr. William F.

Respectfully, N. G. WRIGUT. Corner Dots. As we have seen nothing from our "Corner" for some weeks past, Mr. : Editor, and being desirous ot' seeing occasional mention of happenings which are daily taking place around us, we take the liberty of writing what has been done and what is being done among us. Christmas found us ready and wait ing, and since Monday night parties, sociables, etc., have been the order of the day. Mr. Luther E. Bowie, one of out most popular young men, on last Wed nesday night led to hymen's altar one of "Mohawk's" most charming young ladies io the person of Miss Lucia Par ker. Tlie ceremony was performed by Kev. H. C. Fennel, of Lowndesyille. On the following day the bridal party drove to the residence of Mr. A. S. Bowie, brother of Mr. L. E. Bowie, where a sumptuous feast awaited them. After thc bridal party had arrived and congratulations had been extended to the happy bride and groom by a few in vi te?! guests who were present, word ! passed around that the feast was in ? waiting", and all they that were bidden to come. Soon the guests. were assem ? bled around thc festal board, where for one hour they partook of the good things provided by the genial host and ! hostess. Mr. Bowie is to be congratu ! lated in lu's selection of ? companion, and we join his many friends in cx ! tending congratulations and wishing , them a long, prosperous and unclouded journey through life. Misses Minnie and Annie Bowie, two pleasant and charming young ladies from Due West, have been spending the holidays with the family of Mr. .1. W. Bowie. Messrs. Burden Ligon and Yandi ver Sharpe, of Townville. spent aday or so with the family of Rev. ll. C. Ligon las t week. Mrs. Lois Davis, the teacher at Mof fattsville, spent Christmas with her parents near Troy. .Mr. J. W. Ligon. who is teaching near Troy, is spending the holidays at home. Mr. Mack Beaty, who has been quits sick for some time, is again able to be up. Messrs. Sherard & Bros. are erecting a neat and commodious storeroom at Iva, where they expect soon to go into business. Miss lola Johnson, of Anderson, and Miss Anna Clinkscales, of Lowudes ville, two charming and pretty young ladies, are visiting Mrs. J. A. Cook, of Iva. Miss Ellen Sherard, who is attending school in Due West, spent the Christ mas with ber parents. Her many friends were delighted to see her. Mr. J.. L. Sherard, who is teaching in the Graded School at Georgetown, is spending the holidays with his family and relatives. Mr. J. M. Curdy, Professor at Iva, spen t Christmas at his home near Troy visiting among friends and relatives. Miss Lucy Dean, a popular young lady from Dean, spent a day and two nights with friends at Iva. Mr. Berry Wiles, of Iva, spent a few days recently with his brother, Mr. H. A. Wiles, of Honea Path. Rev. R. C. Ligon, who has been quite sick, is again able to be np. The bear which has been agitating the minds of a good many people in this section, especially the negroes, was killed recently near Starr. There are reports to the effect that one or two bears, or possibly more, are still roving about among us at will. The year 1888 is numbered with the past, and a new year is upon us. Let us each and every one resolve to make more use of '99 than we have of old '98,. and not allow the time to idly slip away from our grasp. May we see the mistakes made in '98 and avoid them in '99. May we every day seek to be up and doing, and upon the first of the year resolve to take the best advantage of our time, talents and opportunities. X-X. Notes From Cantwell Institute. Well, Mr. Editor, it has been long time since I have written anything for your paper, and it may be that my communication may find its way to the waste basket, as it may not be consid ered worthy of being published in your valuable columns. The institute is one of the prettiest spots in Hall Township. It has been and is yet a noted place. But where are the old landmarks of the. days when the Institute was in its bloom such as Dr. W. J. Milford, Maj. James Thompson, Z. Hall, Jackson, McPhail and others, with Rev. E. R. Caswell as Principal, who spent their time and money in building up a place of learn ing for the rising generation ? The most of them have passed over the river never no more to return, but their memories still live, and at that time the Institute was known to be one of the best schools anywhere in the conn try. Some of Anderson Couuty's most prominent men received their early training here. The old students of the Cars well school had a reunion at this place lust Summer, and have arranged to have them here annually, which is a proof that those who attended the school more than two score years ago still have great respect for the old place. Company P, of the 24th S. C. V.. which served in the western army of the Confederacy, has decided to make this place a permanent place for their annual reunions. The Company was composed of men from Hall, Corner, Savannah and, I think, some from Va rennes Townships. I do not think in all of the records of tho Confederate Army that you can find anything to ex cel Company F, of which I am proud, as I had some relatives and a great many friends in it. Tiie prospects for a good, full school is very flattering. We have for a teacher Miss Annie Dalrymple, of the Fork, who is fully armed and equip ped to do her duty in the school room? Besides the school at this place there are four others within 4 miles-Savan nah, taught by Mrs. Moore ; McKee taught by Mrs. Spearman; Hebron, by Miss Lizzie Reagans; Fairview, by Miss Nannie Blakeley.. I think any section shoal ' be proud to have as teacher any of these ladies. Our community is wonderfully bless ed in the way of conveniences. Wc have a Baptist Church about 3 miles South. Rocky River, a Presbyterian, north about 2 miles, a Methodist west 3 miles, and a Baptist east 3 miles, all of which are very ably supplied with men of God as pastors. Besides we have been having preaching twice a month the greater part of the year at this place by Rev. M. McGee aud Hov. S h aler. I The young and some of the older people of this section have organized a Singing Society that meets once every two weeks during thc winter, presided over by Prof. Banister, who does not spare any pains in instructing his class that they may get the benefit of his knowledge in the rudiments of music. May all who are interested be greatly encouraged in such and kee]) it np, for il is so much better that our young people should spend I heil- time in sing ingpraiscs to God than to bc serving the devil by attending balls ami game tables. I We h;ive lour eorn and three wheal and two saw mills and cotton gins within t hree miles, and as good farm ing land as any in the County. Though we can't, boast of having some of the largest farmers thal is in the County but we have some good ones it' they j are on a small scale. I think the ma jority of thc people of this section ex pect, to try and raise their bread and meat and less 4 cfs. cotton. In the distance of about live miles wc have four medical doctors in t he persons of Thompson, Bowen, Anderson and Wharton, and if you want any law you can hud the .Judge of Hall Circuit, E. C. Martin, at his office. A happy New Year to all. CITIZEN. Woodmen of the World. AVillow Camp No. 26, Woodmen of the World, entertained a large number of friends at, the Masonic Hall last Friday night. A royal oyster supper was served followed by cigars, after which short addresses were delivered by several who were honored by an unexpected call.

The Woodmen of the World is one of the very best assurance asso ciations of its kind in America. It was established iii 1890 and has had a mar velous growth.
