"WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1885. FAR FETCHED. The yews find Courier takes the position thot Lt. Gov. Sheppard ought not to engage in the defense of the persons charged with lynching Culbrenth because it is within the ra:ige of possi-1 bility that he may ne called upon heroafter to pass upon their applications for pardon. Some of our contempornries who love to prate of the laxity of the administration of law may say this is far fetched and toll our city friend that catching must precede hanging. Seriously, we don't think the position of the yews and Courier is cor rect. The law does not prohibit the Lt. Governor from practicing law. His salary does not enable him to give up Vi in nrnfaccinn TKia if nn. uio j;i v'^onivik a iiiq uwvn iiiv at tilforced, would amount to prohibiting distinguished lawyers from aRpiring to the office of Governor or Lieutenant Governor, as it is in the range of possibility that they might be called to pass upon the application for pardon of some one they had previously defended. It would not ho contended, we take it, that Mr. Sheppard should cease to defend any accused person. This case stands on iho Kfirm* footinc as anv othnr. It is not to be tried by different rules and laws. The same presumption of innocence shelters and protects these accused persons hat is thrown around all those accused of crime till their guilt is proved. They are entitled to be heard by counsl of their own choice. Moreover we do not think it is right to assume that if called to the Governor's chair the Lt. Governor would be influenced in deciding upon an application for pardon hy anything other than the strength of the papers submitted for his consideration. The Ifews and Courier goes so far as to express the opinion that Senator Butler ought not to appear for the defense in this case, because his position will haveinfluonce with the inrv' Tho _ - - .. ? I ? jury is sworn to decide the case upon , the law and the evidence. If they are not capable of doing that without being influenced by extrinsic circumstances they are unfit to sit as jurors. It is true that some are so influenced. But St would be so whether or not the counsel were a distinguished and eloquent and popular advocate and h<ild no official position. We do not see that Senator Butler and Lieut, Governor Sheppnrd violate the dignity of their offices by defending these men. DEAT" OF COLi. IjATIMER. i Not only the community in which he lived, but Abbeville County, has suffered a serious loss in the death of Col. James M. Latimer. He died suddenly at his home at Lowndesville on Thursday, loth inst. As was said of him in our presence, he was a tower of strength to the section in which he lived. He had liv?;d a life of so much usefulness, so full x>f good deeds and charity, so pure and blameless that it was natural that he CVa..1.1 1 imiuuiu ucui iiiu i auu tuiuna'iiue *nd affection of all his neighbors and friends. He was, almost it may be said the father of the Savannah Valley llailroad. He gave it impulse and shape, and labored unceasingly for its welfaie, spend* jng his time and his talents and means for it, For some years he was President of it* but in all capacities he was jts firm advocate and friend, It is peculiarly sad that just as it is nearing its completion and he had the prospect of |y - fleeing and enjoying the early fruition />f his hopes, that he should be called away. Few men were better prepared to die ? . than he, 'J'riily he walked with God; and however suddenly the dread messenger came, he found him readv to journey with him upon that ''bourne .whence no traveller e'er retnrns." __J Many a heart that remembers hirn with Joye and gratitude will say softly and truly, rest thou in peac?\ THE Cm V.

Marlou Latimer, Sr. The town of Lowndesville and vicinity were greatly shocked by the sudden death of its most prominent and useful citizen, Mr. J. Marion Latimer, Sr., who died suddenly of heart disease about 8 o'clock, Thursday morning, October 15th. Mr. Latimer iirose and breakfasted in the morning referred to, apparently In usual health. Soon after eating breakfast he walked out into his yard, giving direction to some hands in his employ about their work for the day ; and returning to the house sat down and in a fihort time fell from his chair, and died within a few moments. Mr. Latimer has been identified with this community for a long period of time, nearly half a century and has also been known throughout the county and State as a prominent citizen, energetic and successful in business and zealous and useful in the church. Many who have known him during his long and successful career will be saddened to hear of his sudden and unexpected death ; and those who have been most intimate]}' associated with him and felt the influence of his genial nature, always exnressine itself in nnlitt> nml and courteous manners, and listened to his words of wise and prudent counsel, will find it hard to realize that he is dead. Mr. Latimer was born in this County about two nnd half miles north of the present site of Due West. Ilis father Dr. James M. Latimer moved to this State from Maryiand. with his mother and settled first on liroadmouth Creek in this County. In the year 1801 he was married to Miss Catherine lvay and mov.'d to the neighborhood of the ores entsite of Due West, where his son J. M. Latimer, who was one of a large family inostof whom hayo died before him, was horn December 27th 1814. On the 26th of September, 1833, in the 19th year of his age, he whs married to Miss Mahala Young, daughter of Mr. Win. Young, who lived a few tniles east of Shiloh Church in this County. lie settled in this neighborhood and remained four or five years until about the year 1838, when he and his father-in-law, Mr. Young bought land in the Fork, between Hockey and Savannah rivers, about three miles west of Lowndcsville, and moved thither with their families. In 1854 Mr. Latimer moved to Lowndesville mid has resided there and at his plantation since that time. As a planter he was quite successful. His exertions in this direction were characterized by energy, perseverance, and progressiveness, and resulted in the acOlltlltllnftnn nf nmnoplu Tli^ 1 :. v* |? w|/?.i wjr HiO integrity and capacity were Well known This will he readily infened front the fact that when quite a young man he was appointed trustee of the large estate of Mr. John Olivitr. This "state amounted to more than .*{?1C<),C/(XJ.C0 and was successfully managed by him for a number of years. Mr. Latimer has alwaj's shown gretn interest in public matters that looked to the building up and improvement of his county. He was largely instrumental in procuring the charter for the S. V. K. R., and was for six years President of the company. Those only who have been well acquainted with the progress *i.:- : * - - ut unn important enterprise. Know or tho difficulties that he overcame and the obstacles thnt he surmounted in his efforts to afford rail road communication to the Savannah side of Abbeville County. When the prospects of the Road were dark and gloomy, when its enemies openly exulted over its apparent downfall, and its friends in despair wore ready to give it up, he pejsevered. Oftentimes it seemed that the enterprise depended entirely 01. his will and energy, and its present favorable condition is looked upon by all as a monument to his business capacity and indomitable will. The motive that inspired him to undergo such arduous labors for the advancement of this enterprise, was the good of the community. He expressed himself as not expecting to derive financial benefit from the completion of the Road, and the sad event of his death has happened in accordance with his expectations. His disinterestedness is further shown by the fact, that he received no compensation for his labor, while his private business was suffering from lack of his attention. During the present year Mr. Latimer had given much time and attention, and contributed liberally to the buildin'; of the new Methodist Church at Lowudcsville. In this, as in others kindred enterprises in the community, his prudence, judgment, and material assistance, were considered necessary to success;* and were giv ?n by him without reason. It seems a strange co incidence trial he should have died ro soon after the completion of these two public enterpriser, to which he ha* given so much tune during the latter years of hi8 life. As a friend and counsellor Mr. Latimer had few equals. A large family connection, and a large circle of friends, looked to hitr as their leader and adviser. He was frequently consulted for advice in business and personal matters ; and to those in distress or laboring under difficulties, he was always ready to lend a helping hand, or give prudent counsel. His natural sagacity nnd singularly correct insight into human nature, tnude him peculiarly fitted for giving advice to others, and his polite and courteous manner inspired confidence and prevented civinp oflWiRo There are many living to-day who have reason to revere his memory for the wise counsel given them. Mr. Latimer's advantages for education during his youth were limited, but during his long life he acqurod a large fund of information that, made him a pleasant and agreeable conversationalist. It was perhaps as a chrislrian man that Mr. Latimer was most widely and favorably known. He was bronchi un under the influences of tlic Rnptist Dhnrch, but about tho year 1840 joined the Methodist Church at Smyrna. Very soon after joining the church , he k&h placed in official, position. Uis loep piety, reinnrknble personal expe ience and xeaf, aoon madti him the eading spirit in thosSnryrna fiuclety; (nd during his long career as a meiu, berof the church, extending through a a period of 45 years, ho maintained his position of usefulness and prominence. He was always found ready to contribute of his means for religious purposes. He often represented his society in the District and Annual Conferences. His funeral services were held in Smyrna Churrh. Rov. AT T.- ll?nki! nnutm officiating. Mr. Banks preached an appropriate sermon froin 1 Cor., 15 ch., 60 and 57 verses, aud concluded with an eulogy of the deceased that was sad and effecting. All Keemnd impressed with the solemnity of the occasion, and the long procession that followed his remains to to the grave, showed the affection and esteem in which his memory is held.
