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 Tin ? 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. ( rPU? ..AOJA11 f 1-1.if T rli<] 11 of.

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 Kennedy inviting him to submit an affidavit of ail he wished to say on . the subject. j 1 have the honor to be, most respectfully. Your obediens servant, Claude E.

Dear Sir:?From official infor | matiou received by me 1 am satis-1 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 turn over all books and papers in your possession belonging'- to your office to your successor'/ when he shall call on you for the same. Yours truly, M. B. McSweexky, Governor of South Carolina. The governor filed with the pa^ A*??* A n Ai ?if t?i ^ f nn efo f f\ |'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.
