? i ?? ? THOMAS J. GIBSON DEAD. I Was Under Bond Fending Appeal to Supreme Court. Columbia, June 3.?Thomas J. Gibson, under sentence of three years for receiving $12,500 worth of State bonds from former Bond Clerk Daniel Zimmerman, of the State Treasurer's office, died to-day at his home on Park street, in his 77th year, after an illness which has dated since his trial 2 years ago. The funeral will be held * Saturday morning from his home, * and interment will be in Elmwood Cemetery. f ? Mr. Gibson was at liberty under bond, pending a motion before the circuit court for a new trial, on the ground of after-discovered evidence, the supreme court having passed an order to this effect. Mr. Zimmerman \ was pardoned last year. !_< .. Mormon Elders Arrested. Gaffney, June 2.?On May 16 two fy men known as Mqrmon elders came r to Gaffney and commenced to dis> seminate their doctrine in the Limestone mill village. When Mr. Cash, the superintendent of the plant, learned of their operations, he noli" " tified them, through Mr. Rodgers, one of his foremen, that they must get off and stay off. Last Saturday Mr. Cash found that they were still in the village, and at once went before Magistrate Phillips ? and had him issue a warrant for the it * * arrest of both men. They promptly gave bond after their arrest, and the V ' case was tried by a jury yesterday. The prosecution proved the case, as outlined above, and the defendants put up no testimony. The defendants' counsel contended that there was no evidence that the /defendants had P|*. ever left the premises after being ' warned, and that therefore there was no entry after notice. After deliberating about 15 minutes the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty." 1/ When seen after the trial the defencl' ants said they had no desire to violate the laws and that they would not again go upon the premises. Negro Killed by Falling House. I Williston, June 3.?This section fe-;. was visited last night by a very high , wind storm which blew down trees and did other damage. Just below \ Elko it blew down the barns of S. B. , Hair, killing a very fine horse and S " probably fatally injuring another, Ifv- ' ' besides doing damage to other live stock, and farm products that were ^ in the building. At Powell's mill, about five miles south, the wind blew down a tenant '? house, killing a negro man in it and severely injuring another negro. A short distance from this scene of death the lightning struck the house >* \ of another negro, setting it afire. The ? * negro escaped unharmed but fled with all haste, declaring that the comet ' * had fallen and struct his yard. So ^ /a fully was he convinced of the near?ness of the end of the world that he could not be persuaded to return to his burning house to save any of his ... ' property from the flames. Jf".

While seated on an embankment near his home at Marcus Hook, Pa., watching his brother-in-law, Charles Guyer, pump air into the tires of J his automobile, Frank D. Marshall, aged 45 years, was struck in the face' by the inner tube of the tire, which I exploded with a loud report. The tire cut his face horizontally across the bridge of his nose and it was found necessary to tie up his head to keep his features in tact.

Stead, editor of th< English Review of Reviews, tells the story of an Irishman who applied t( one of his friends for a position as coachman. " 'You know, Pat, if I engage voi I shall expect you to do things bj combination. For instance, if I tel you to bring the carriage around at i given time, I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, etc.' " 'Yes, sorr,' said Pat. "He was duly engaged and gave satisfaction. One day his mastei came to him telling him to look sharf and go for a doctor as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a Ion? time, and on his master grumbling al him for his delay he said: 'Sure they're all here, sorr.' " 'All here?' said the master' What do you mean?'

In the special election vacancies there was apathy among Republicans throughout' the State that we did not 2 understand. We were in Charleston i on special election day and on no - previous or later visits was the good - old city quieter. Afterward we learnc ed from Judge T. J. Mackey the cause why the Republican vote was t so small. Just here let us digress to - state that Judge Mackey was one of t the most interesting and interested personages of that period. His life - was one of adventure from the begin ning of his career, as a soldier with - Mexico, to its close in Washington Inst vear. when it was stated that all the income he had for his support as the infirmities of age multiplied and s increased was his Mexican war penl sion of twenty dollars a month. He j was a kinsman of E. W. M. Mackey, , speaker of the Chamberlain house, but there existed no love between t them. In the campaign of 1877, . Judge Mackey though a' Republican I and holding the office of circuit Judge t through his election by a Republican , Legislature, aligned himself enthusiastically with the Democracy in support and advocacy of the Hampton and k Home Rule movement. When the spe- 1 ! cial elections were ordered in 1877, ' ' Judge Mackey, as he told us, was the 1 . head of the Union League in South r Carolina and he ordered it closed. [ That organization had up to that time had absolute control of the Republican vote in the rural sections t of the State. It was also the news 1 bureau through which the masses of j the Republican voters received in- 1 structions and information, and its ? closing by 'order of Judge Mackey ! ended its meetings and its political power. Judge Mackey was the only j > Republican circuit Judge re-elected by the Democratic Legislature. * The session was necessarily lengthy, i for eight years of reckless govern- ( mental extravagance had brought the 3 State to the very verge of ruin, made ] 1 its name almost a by-word and re- . proach and lowered, appallingly the i ' standards of official character and 1 1 conduct. The manner in which the ' Legislature measured up to the weight- \ iest responsibilities that ever chal- < lenged an American legislature is 1 1 now a matter of recorded history, , L to be found in the printed profceed- ( ings in the libraries of the State, and i her lawyers. , All the State officers of that renaissance have passed to the higher life, but their names and records are , worthy to be deep carved in the gran| ite wall of the capitol, to be preserved ( in the hearts and memories of those . that inherit the better government and purer citizenship accomplished * through the sacrifice and service of { the men of '76. < We give their names and after 1 works a last publication.

Williams, a planter of large possessions, a citizen of V great usefulness and deserved popularity and uplifting influence. His heart was not robust and the exposures and excitement of that historic winter were thought to have hastened his death. He was succeeded by Col. T. J. Counts, one of the most remark able men physically and intellectually ' : that Barnwell has ever honored. Capt. Isaac Bamberg was chair- j man of the house delegation, having 1 received the largest vote in general 5 election. In army and civil life he . ? < ' embodied the best virtues of the high- j est patriotic citizenship. As a mem- < ber of the commission to investigate ' the bonded indebtedness of the State, 1 ' he rendered luminous and long last- ; ing service. He died while holding ' the office i>f State Treasurer in Gov- 1 ernor Richardson's administration. As a s&hool boy Laurens W. You- 1 1 mans entered the Confederate army and fought until the final furling of the flag at A'ppomatox. He had a - lar^e influence in the house and the . creation of Hampton county was the r expression of the confidence of the 1 Legislation in his assurance that it f would be Democratic. He afterwi "d t served one term as State Senator. lie 3 completed his education at home by 7 wise reading and became in the his tory and philosophy of finance the c best informed man in the State. Some 3 years ago when the county was burd dened by a heavy debt, at the solicitas tion of the legislative delegation and 5 other citizens, he consented to serve as a county commissioner, with Mr. - v'.. Ashley Stansill, as co-workers with Supervisor J. B. Morris. At the end of the term every debt of the county was discharged, and a handsome surplus remained to its credit. For his valuable service he made no charge, paying all the expenses incurred for travel, board and extra clerical work out of his private funds'. His body rests at Lawtonville, but his memory is among the best treasures of his family and friends. As chairman of the judiciary committee and in the floor debates on all weighty debates, Representative Robert Aldrich laid the broad and sound foundations of his distinguished career. In any intellectual line of life work, he could have won high distinction. As an editor he would have combined the force of Watterson and the brilliancy of Grady. As a public speeker such wise authority as Leroy F. Youmans pronounced Col. Aldrich's eulogy of Governor Hampton the most eloquent oration ever delivered in our State hoube. He was later a State Senator and now fills the position of circuit Judge. He is the only survivor of the Wallace house holding an office in South Carolina. Milledge A. Rountree was and is one of the most lovable men we have ever known. Of his own will, the cause won, he retired to the home life in which he found and gave so much happiness.

In addition to the regular course is outlined above, there has been arranged for the white school a series 3f lectures to be given by some of the leading educators and professional men of the State. This series of lec tures alone will be invaluable t? the teachers. There will be about twelve lectures in the course, and special efforts have been made to make it the most distinct feature of the school. There will be a district school for the negro teachers of Aiken-Bamber&Barnwell counties at Barnwell, S. C., beginning June 13, and ending July 8th.
