NEWBERRY COUNTY'S
FOREMOST CITIZEN
HON. GEO. S. MOWER PASSES
V TO GREAT BEYOND
Had Been in Bad Health But His
Death Was Unexpected and
Shock to Community
- The taking of Hon. Geo. S. Mower
removes from the activities of this
community one of the best citizens
the community ever had. His death
. came as a shock to ^s all. He had
been in bad health for some time but
no one expected the end to come
when it did. He was on the streets
nn SatiiTvlav morninc and conversed
pleasantly with friends and remarked
that he was feeling very well. When
h he retired on Saturday night he said
to the family that he felt in his usual
health and it was a great shock and
surprise to them on Sunday morning
to find him unconscious when called
for breakfast.
During the night he suffered a
stroke of paralysis which left one
side entirely helpless and his speech
' gone. He probably recognized the
members of the family when they call- j
ed in the early morning, but soon af-!
ter lost consciousness and never regained
it until the end came at 9:30I

' . Mi:. Mower was the son of Duane !
and Cynthia Mower and was born at |
Greene, Maine, where his parents resided,
on April 20, 1853. Very soon
after the birth of Mr. Mower his parents
moved to Prosperity in this county
where his father engaged in the
mercantile business for several years
and did a large and successful business.
Soon after the war of the six
ties Mr. Mower moved his jnercantile I
business from Prosperity to Newberry.
After the death of Mr. Mower,
Mrs." Mower conducted the business
very successfully for many years un;
de* the firm name af C. and G. S.
4 -v
Mower and at he* death the business
was incorporated under the name of
C. and G. S. Mower company, and it
was known all the years as tfre store
for the ladies, and rr\any a woman in
the days gone in this county always
bought their dress goods and millinery
from Mower's.
Geo. S. Mower having taken up the
law and 'having devoted his time to
the practice of the profession, shortly
after the death of his mother, closed
out the business, but to this day the
place is known as the Mower corner,
and nearly every one will know what
you mean when you refer to the store
now as the Mower corner.
Geo. S. Mower entered Bowdoin j
college at Bowdoin, Maine, in 1869,i
and was graduated with distinction
in 1873 with the degree of B. A.
*
And the degree of M. A. was conferred
on him by the same institution
in 1876. He read law in the offices of
Jones and Jones and was admitted to
the practice in the probate courts and
circuit courts in 1875, and to the
practice in the supreme court in
1877, and to the practice in the United
States court in 1878. He was a
good lawyer and had the capacity for
as much work as any one you couid
l\nd, and what he did was well lone.
He was not considered a gxiat trial!
lawyer as they call it, but his judgment
of the law was sought often and
when it came to wise judgment and
a proper understanding of the principles
of the law he had few equals,
and it was always said of him that he
was well fitted for a seat on the supreme
bench.
He first became a member of the
legislature in 1888 and with a few
exceptions served in one or the other
of the branches of the general assembly
from this county to the present
time, being now a member of the
house. He was senator for two or
three terms and was a wise and safe
legislator.
He was a life long member of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian
church and was the second layman +o
be honored by the synod as mo^eri.^or
of that body, and the ministers and j
laymen were all high in praise of the |
- ?i- - -t- i? : j i I
manner in wnicn ue presiueu. .c,ia- j
kine college two years ago Conferred |
on him the honorary degree of doctor
v of law.
He was an active participant in all
the enterprises in Newberry that
-were for the advancement of the best
interests of the community, and was|
a member of a number of boards of j
i
trustees and directors, because he
ways subscribed liberally of his me<
to help these enterprises get a sts
and then his valued counsel v
sought on these boards. He was a
a member of the board of trust'
of Newberry college and of Ersk
college and for a number of ye;
treasurer of Erskine college.
The funeral will be held from 1
residence Tuesday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The funeral will then
taken in charge by the Masons a
will be concluded at the grave
j Rosemont. Mr. Mower was a high <
jgree Mason, at* one time being head
j the order in the state.
The active pallbearers had not be

Last Friday was a gala day :
Sandy Run, and a fine advertisers
for Newberry college. Her prai;
were sung in no uncertain terms,

before a good audience, in spite
inclement weather. The main poii
of the college, stressed and inten
* 1 ' i* i l
t listened to, were ner spienaia ana <

her watchful and parental care o>
the young men, and the splendid m
al tone and achievements of th<
who emerge *rom her historic ha
Rev. J. L. /once of Cameron, a
ed as chairmaif in a happy mam
and spirit i and also made an app

I ingstone, a junior student of the c
lege, with a. vfine open countenar
and intelligent face, delivered
charming, though short, note of w
come.' Dr. T. H. Dreher, an alumn
proud of the old institution, had
set speech but was not slow abc
%
i blowing her horn urging her frier
to stand by her with their sons a
money. Mr. Geo. W. Wannamak
though hastily pressed into serV-;
as a substitute for an absent spe*
er, proved that while he is efficien
filling the high office of superinter
ent of education, the office is a
! rapidly developing him into a mi
i effective talker for Christian edu<
[ton.
The last and 'Star speaker of t
occason was the presdent of the c
lege, Dr. S. J. Derrick. Histo:
morals, brief statistics, the facul

ments of the denominational colleg
interspersed with some fine specime
iof wit, held the rapt attention of ]
audience for nearly an hour. ]
sang the prases of old Sandy Rui
honor roll of notables in the by go
days. Henry Muller was the fi
contributor of a substantial sum
denominational schools in the sti
and made possible the establishme
of the Lutheran seminary and Ne
berry college. He read uncontra<
ted statements of the strong percei
age of skeptics in the big universit
of the North who believe in no G
and no hereafter.
The snging of Mr. and Mrs. L.
Rast, Mrs. W. C. Rast and Mr. Thi
S. Haigler, a quartette from Sws

At this time, soil building should !

IKJll tv aw Viiiu ^ ^
This crop makes an excellent hay | ,
nd the stubble can be followed with j '
owpeas and sorghum to be used as a!
oil builder or as an additional hay j ,
rop. We suggest that at least two j
cres per plow be planted. To begin | .
rowing this crop, it. is absolutely
ecessary to have proper innoculation. ,
'his can be accomplished either by
ising soil from land that is growing j
etch, or by means of artificial cul-1
are. Sufficient artificial culture for j
wo acres can be secured through our
ounty demonstration agent, Mr. T. .
1. Mills of Prosperity, S. C., or by
saving your name and address at the
ffice of the chamber of commerce,
'he crop should be sowed about the
liddle of September or as soon therefter
as possible. If soil is used for
inoculation, about 400 pounds should
e sowed late in the afternoon along
? * ' i ii J
run itie seen ana narroweu mmielately.
Where artificial innoculaion
is used, it should be rubbed in
/ith the seed and sowed as above. ,
Ths crop should be planted when
here is a good season in ground and
n fairly g<fod soil. We suggest from
. 1-2 to 2 bushels of oats and 15 to j
0 pounds of vetch per acre. 1
Vetch seed can be bought co-oper- i
tively at a very reasonable price, <
nd arrangement? can be made
hrough the county demonstration
gent for such purchase.
Newberry county imports an aver- ^
ge of 50 cars of hay per annum, con-1 ,
ervatively valued at $20,000. This
loney can be saved by growing vetch
nd oats and at the same time the f
ind will be improved.

SLAYER OF DEPUTY
IK PENITENTIARY
The State, 22nd.
Ed or Eliot Culbreth, negro, who
shot and killed Deputy Sheriff W. W.
Edwards of Saluda county November,
was brought to the state penitentiary
yesterday at 1 o'clock for
safe keeping. Culbreth was captured
bv officers late Wednesday afternoon
/ _
or early that night in a running gun
battle, according to officers, who
brought* the negro here yesterday.
Ctilbreth was captured in Matter,
Ga., and when he was found by the
officers, he put up a stiff fight, and,
in making the arrest, several shots
were fired at the negro, two taking
effect in his legs. The wounds are
not serious, however, it was said at
the penitentiary yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff Edwards was shot
while on a raid to a negro house, and
despite a thorough search throughout
the country in and around Saluda, the
negro escaped and was not heard
from until a few days ago.
