Lawson, an old Confederate soldier, committed suicide Saturday morning be- : tween daylight and sun-up, l>y shooting himself with a gun. Mr. Lawson was in his 71st. year, and had been in decling health for several months, but was reported better and in good spirits by friends and neighbors who went to see him the day before. It seems, from what could be learned that his wife had gotten up and was starting a fire in the stove and he slip I .C L 1- .. 'il J l?eu tmt ui mo room wunouil dressing;, took his ^ini and stepped around the corner of house and shot himself. A neighbor boy who was. spending the night heard the shot and went, out to sco what it meant. He found Mr. Lawson lying on bis back, the gun across his breast and a gaping wound in his head just behind the right ear. A piece of the skull was found | at his feet and some of the pa- j per used in the gun as wadding j was right at his bead. No mo- j tive for the deed could be as-j signed. He leaves a wife and :i! married daughter, tor many years Mr. Lawson was a member of the Oolenoy Baptist, church. D. F. Sutherland, magistrate of Dacusville town ! ship held the inquest, but up to this writing he had not turned, the papers over to the clerk of court and we do not know what evidence was adduced, or what the verdict of the jury was.

Hear Friends of theS.-J.: 11' you remember, I told you t wo vears ago that Liberty had i the capital and talent necessary to net out a paper and that all j she needed was a title, so it! seems that some one has sup-' plied the title and the result is a Mire little paper in circulation, called the " I /iherty News." An easy name to think wasn't it? Hut, kind friends of thcS.-J., don't think for a moment that! I have forsaken you. for I havei not. I am like ;i parent who lavishes so much affection on the first, offspring that it seems there would be none to bestow on another; but bye and bye along cenies No. '2. when parent-love stretches out ami takes in the latest addition, and it don't, matter how in an v more are added, parent-love takes them all in. Ho, while I like the new paper, I still have a warm place in my heart for the Sentinel-Journal. 1 appreciate our Journal editor because he has, from time to time, offered the columns of bis paper to each town and community to exploit its own part icular part of the county, and h? is not to blame if his kind offer wasn't accepted. He has also from time to time advocated patron izing home merchants, home industries, etc. I am with him in that, too. I believe every person, so far :is he can possibly do so, should trade with their own home merchants instead of running oil' to other towns to trade. I see people pass mv home each season going to Pickens to buy hats and ot her things, but I never see anyone coming from Pickens to trade at Liberty. Not because there are cheaper or prettier hats and dry goods at Pickens than here went to | ere but .ny boys Run Bossy . wines the prodigal ;ui(l told him that he heard that when he was away that he dropped a nickel into a Peanut parcher and told it to plav "Home sweet home."
