A Sad Death.
Last Thursday morning the "spirit of
young Samuel C. Milhous took its everlasting
flight into the presence of its God.
He was taken sick in Atlanta, but came
home to his father's near this place before
he got past traveling and it was a great
satisfaction 'to his family, ie]atit.es and
friends to have him home with them during
his sickness, where they could nurse
him and see that lie had every attention.
But notwithstanding the faithful and
skillful treatment of Drs. Brunson and
Black and the tender, loving nursing of
loved ones yet that dread disease, typhoid
fever, had seized liim with a relentless
grip and would yield to no treatment.
He was buried at the "family burial
ground near his home last Fridav morning
in the presence of a large ?owd of
sympathetic friends and relatives. The
wrtter conducted the burial services.
This young man was nearly through >
business course in an Atlanta business
callege, when he was taken ill and had to
come home. His moral character must
have been exceptionally good, for it was i
the subject of many remarks by numbers
of our best people. He seemed to have I
been a favorite among his teachers and <
school mates, as quite a number' of very
complimentary and consoling letters
C Aine to him and the family during his
illness. He was 25 years, 5 months and 2
days old when he died.
He left a mother and father and some
brothers and sisters and a number of relatives
and friends to mourn over his

SOLICITOR SAWYER HITS HARD:
Magistrates Ray and Kennedy are
ltouneed ? Denmark Jealous
of Bamberg..
We publish below Solicitor Sawyers
report to Governor McSweeney
in the Williams matter. The report
was accomplished by many affidavits,
and we have in hand the affidavit
made by Senator S. G. Mayfield.
We regret that we have not the
space for it this week, but we will
publish it in full next week, in order
that Mr. Maylield's actions in
the matter may be fully understood. ,
The Solicitor's report reads as follows,
only one paragraph being i
omitted. '
In the matter of S. G. Ray, a magis
trate at Denmark, and W. L. ,
Kennedy, a magistrate at Go van. '
Extradition of G. W. M. Williams.
]
To His Excellency, M. B. McSweeney j
Governor.
In obedience to your order of the (
18th instant, I went down to Den- j
mark on the morning of the' 25th of .
August, 1899, reaching there about J
8 o'clock? and proceeded to acquaint i
myself, as best I could, with all the |
circumstances connected with the .
proceedings.-I
submit herewith a numbed of ,
affidavits to which I call your excel ]
leucy's careful attention. Believing 5
that your excellency desired me to J
express my opinion, I made all inquiries
I possibly could, observed
closely the conduct of the people
there, listened to the conversations
and remarks of the people in the
hotel, on the stre?ts an^d in their
places of business, and observed 1
closely the conduct of the witnesses c
who *~oade affidavits, and noticed s
whether they appeared to be inter s
ested in the truth or whether they f
were testifying freely to all they 1
knew, and, judgingfromall circum- r
stances, I have come to a conclusion [
that the magistrates and the con- 1
cfuhlp W J. Hntto. are sruiltv of
~ 7 ?.J ./
aiding in the escape of the said G. c
W. M. Williams. 5
Mr. Ray has submitted twenty k
affidavits of citizens believing that j
he would tell the truth upon oath, p
If your excellency will examine the 11
affidavits, your excellency will find s
that some 6f these men have con-; v
tradicted Mr. Ray's testimoii}'. You J;
will find that the witness Hutto ^
contradicts'Mr. J. D. Milhous, and
you will find that Hutto's testimony s
does not agree with Mr. Ray's 11
It seems to me that Mr. Ray at- ?
tempts to excuse himself for not
arresting Williams upon the ground ^
that Williams is a desperate char- s
acter and that he was a mad man f
on that day, yet lie, as a oouserva- 11
tor of the peace, alowed Williams P
to walk up and down the street with 1
his hands in his pocket, thus defy- c
ing arrest.
Your excellency will note that }
Hutto says that Williams was not in c
a rage, did not look like.n mad man J
to him, that he could have arrested '
him if he had had the authority, 1
and would hare done so. J
Your excellency will also note *
that Mr. Walker, the town marshal,
says that he does not consider1 Wil- c
liams a dangerous character; that no *
one called upon him to arrest Wil- 2
liams for disorderly conduct, nor *
for anything else, and that he could tj
have arrested hiip.
Your excellency will find a nun)- 1
ber of other contradictions and in- 2
consistencies, 1
Mr. Ray was at one time in con- s
siderable trouble about a person who s
was a relative of all the parties, and, :
T was informed, some of these narties s
took considerable iuterest in the
matter, which may have placed some J
under obligations to the others. At *
any rate, they all seem to be very 1
intimately connected and very much ?
interested in the welfare of each *
ofher, to such an extent that I am 1
convinced that they forded a cgllu- ?
sion.
I have not yet been to see . Mr. ]
Kennedy, and would respectfully i
suggest that he be requested to sub- t
mit his affidavit. I requested Mr. J
G. W- M. Williams, Jr., to submit t
his affidavit, I have requested an s
affidavit from the sheriff and posse ^
and from any others in behalf of
either side that may desiie to submit
them.
I found very few citizens willing *
to aid me in any way. It seems to !
me that there are two parties at J
Denmark and considerable rivalry i
between the two towns, Denmark >
and Bamberg, and some people wish j
Williams well simply because he has (
beeji prosecuted ^persecuted, a* they (
term it) by the Bamberg bar. <
I must say that I think a deplor- 1
able state of affairs exist in the vi- J
cinity. As I say, I base my conclu
sions from many facts, some of which t
I have stated, and if your exoellency
desires, many other things which j
have some bearings on this matter ?
might be brought out. '
It seems to me tiiat Mr. Kay's 1
affidavit alone is sufficient to convict '(
him. (

can be submitted, I do not deem it
absolutely necessary, but I can, if j
your excellency desires it. It spent (
the entire day and much of the night 1
and some time today in endeavoring j
to arrive at the truth of this matter.
I addressed a letter to Magistrate

Columbia, Aug. 20, 1890.
Dear Sir:?From official infor

tied of your official misconduct in
the matter of extradition of (J. \V.
M. Williams, and your commission
as magistrate is hereby revoked, to
take effect from this date. You will

|'CI'9 LI1C iUllUWIIIg ? lllltii Otiticment
of the reasons for his action:
In view of the report of Solicitor
Sawyer and the statement therein
contained, and the evidence furnished
by the affidavits accompanying
the leport in regard to the action
;>f Magistrates S. G. Ray and W. L.
Kennedy, it appears that said magistrates,
instead of endeavoring to
assist the agent of Georgia in his
?fforts to arrest G. W. M. Williams,
i fugitive from justice in that State,
ind for whom the said agent had
requisition papers from the Governor
)f South Carolina, made in due form
)f law, the magistrates, as it appears
from the report of Solicitor Sawyer,
issisted the said Williams to escape
lrrest, and thus the ends of justice
have been thwarted, Such being
;he facts in the case, I do not consider
these magistrates worthy to
:iold the high and responsible posi:ion
of magistrate, and they ai^
hereby removed from their office,
said removal to take effect from this
late, August 29, 1899.

I'm a Bamberg county fanner,
An' I own a track o' land,

Of clayey marl an' sand.

On terraced hill an' bottom;
But I'm no hand fur fancy things,
An' stick to four cents cotton.
My wife she wants a gyarden spot
To raise her kitchen stuff,
Rerpeas, an' beans' an' corn, an- sich-rAn'

In terraced land an' bottom,
I'll daily eat jist bread an' meat,
An' stick to four cents cotton. /

My boys an' gals say I sh'u'd raise
Cows, poultry, sheep, an' hogs?
I've swapped my o'ny razor back
Fur a pair o' young houn' dogs?
An' I won't go inter new things,j
Not ary one?dQd rot 'emj
But' stick ter what I've alluz raised.
An" grow my four cents cents cotton,

An' give my note an' lien;

, A special from Dallas, Texas, says:
The. hot winds which have prevailed
for the past month have destroyed
all chance of a large cotton crop in
Texas. Reports from all over the
northern and central sections of the
state are that the crop will not
average more than a quarter of a
bale to the acre. This inmcates not
to exceed two million bales for the
entire State.
