There i-> a good deal that is puzzling and peculiar a Unit that circular issued at Aiken jti-t In-fore the first primary. The circular was signed with a fae-simile stamp of James F Byrnes of Aiken, a candidate for Congress, and is said to have denounced both Patterson and (Jarris, the othe- two Con- < gressional aspirants. All three candidates deny responsibility for or knowledge of it and Byrnes and Patterson each offered a 'reward ] of $">00 for the apprehension of i the party who sent it. In addi- i to this Byrnes has employed a Pinkerton sleuth to ferret the mys- * terv. And it seems like such a simple matter to catch the deep- ^ dyed villain. ^ g In the statement of tobacco sales o for August and for the season, re- f cently issued hy the State Coin- c missioner of Agriculture, Kings- i tree, the youngest market in the 11 State, makes a gratifying showing 1 indeed, Imth for the month of c August and for the season as far s as lias been reported.

The quantity of I tobacco brought in shows little or no abatement, and we look for c almost as good a showing for ^ September as was made during the month -f August. f ? a Death of Mr. W. C. Ervln. c Departed this life on Friday nigh*, jc September 9,after a long illness, Mr W C Ervin. at his home in Darlington. A desperate attack of the "grippe" undermined his health up- 2 wards of two years since. A kinsman e by blood, he was also brother-in-law | to Rev E E Ervin and Mr D M Er- ' J vin of Kingstree. Mr and Mrs D M Ervin went to Darlington to attend r tie funeral, conducted by Rev D M * Fulton, pastor, on Sunday morning. c Mr Ervin leaves a wife and five chil- N dren. She was well known in Williamsburg and Clarendon as Miss ' Louise Ervin, and her friends .will be ( grieved at her great loss. "Willie" J Ervin was a good man; a model citi- 1 zen and an approved office-bearer of ! the Presbyterian church; well-be- ^ loved where he was known. His attachments were strong, and he had j1 the faculty of retaining to the last ' the friends he had won?even from the period of his boyhood and school days. Honorable, genial and gentle in manner.no man had occasion ever I to speak evil of him, and his depart- ' ure is a distinct loss to his commun- j ity. He consciously looked approach- , ing death in the tace and was recon- ( ciled through the Gospel hojv. E E E! We pay highest prices for ejrgsJ, and chickens.

Lesesne., The friends of Mr Edward R Lesesne of Greelyville were sadden?d by news of his death, which occurred at his home near Greelyville on Saturday, September 10, at 12 o'clock noon, after an illness lasting just one week. Major "Ned"' Lesesne, as he was familiarly known, had a wide circle of friends who are pained to hear of his death. He had visited Kingstree only a few short weeks ago and little did we think as we bade him good-bye on that occasion, we should never again feel the cordial grasp of his friendly greeting. Major Lesesne is the last of his immediate family, save one member, Mr Mac Lesesne, who has made his home in Texas for a number of years. Within the last few years two of his sisters. Mrs AM Pendergrass and Mrs M J Porter, have been called away. Major Lesesne was 70 years of age and was a man of striking individuality. Suave and courteous, yet firm in his convictions,he gained the friendship of many and commanded the respect even of those with whom he differed in opinion. He was a member of the first ^1_ - ^ ? ? IIVU !. company cnai went irom vrnuairsburg county to join the Confederate army, Co B, S C V, Col Gregg's Regiment, and his comrades all attest to his loyal and gallant service rendered in defence of his country throughout the momentous four wears' conflict. After the slrrenier at Appomattox, he walked home rrom Virginia and settled down on ' he old homestead, pursuing the < ivocation of farmer, and directing lis energies to the welfare of his immunity, thus serving h s c untry is patriotically in time of peace as >n the battle-field. Being a man of ine intelligence, who kept posted en urrent events, he was entertaining n conversation and his war-time re niniscences were especially interestng and informing. He represented Williamsburg ounty in the State Legislature >me years ago, and always took an .ctive part in local politics. The funeral and interment took lace on Sunday morning at II oMock ,t Mt Hope Baptist church, i f ^hich he was a consistent member, he services being conducted by Rev V M Rankin, the pastor, and Rev I L Grier, the pastor of Greelvville j 5resbyterian church. He is survived by his wife and six rhildrt n, besides a large number of >ther relatives in Williamsburg and "larendon counties. May the peace that cometh only | rom an abiding faith in the mercy i ind loving-kindness of our Lord I Iwell in the hearts of the afflicted ! >nes. Death ot a Young Lady. Died?On Friday, September 9, it the home of her father, Mr Robert B McClary, a few miles east of own, Miss Orrie B McClary,after an llness lasting about two weeks. Missj dcClarv was about 30 years of ape md her untimely death is a deep afliction to her kindred and friends, imong whom she was a general fa-j ;orite. The funeral services,conducted by J rlev E b] Ervin, were held on ^atur-! lay morning, the 10th inst, and ti e emains interred at the fanny bury- j ng ground in the presence of aj lumber of sorrowing ones bereaved iy her death.
