Latimer, after a lingering illness, died at his home in Lowndesville last Sunday morning, and was burltd at Smyrna at six .. o'clock on the evening of the same day. Mr. Latimer was born near Due Weet, S. C., February 7,1827. When eighteen years of age. he moved to Lowndesville, where he lived until bis death. He married Miss Ellen Lockhart, July 19, 1849. to whom were born a family of children, who were his Joy and pride until the day oi bis death. As a citizen Mr. Latimer was always on the side of religion, morality and the proprieties of life. He Joined the Methodist church in 1845, and was from that time until the end, a consistent and devout member, serving for many years as Superintendent of the Sunday School. He volunteered in Company G, 19th S. C. Regiment, and with that Regiment served in the Western army as Regimental Commis1 sary until the close of the war. and a more conscientious a.id fair dealing officer was not In the army. While be was always physically feeble, yet he never railed in the delicate and responsible duties which devolved on that officer. His position was one where he could sometimes exercise discretion in extending favors to brother soldiers, and it fell A oat to him on one occasion to place the writer this feeble tribute to his memory under ^^0lb-long obligation to him. When on the inarch und almost ready to sink by the roadside many miles from hospital, suffering wilti pneumonia, Air. Latimer furuished the necessary transportation, which brought us to shelter where medical attention could be had. Without his friendly aid this editor would have mouldered in the dust a quarter of a century ago. To him we are Indebted tor existence today, and it is natural that we should mourn for his death. In pence and In war, Mr. Latimer was a devout Christian?an unpretentious follower of the Lamb. Through all his sufferings, which lasted for a year, he was resigned, and the end came calmly and peacefully. He looked to death as a relief from his suffering, and died in the blessed hope which is vouchsafed to those who love their fellow men and worship the Lord our God. Having lived a correct life from childhood to old age, and having childlike faith In the power of our blessed Lord to save, he goes to the grave with the assurance that all is well with hlirt. WARRENTON LOCALS . Item** or Genernl Interest Chronicled by a Wide Awake Correspon* dent. WarEENTON, S. C., July, 28. IS'JO. Rain! Rain! Rain! we have had plenty during the last few day*. Miss Jnnle Wilson, from Columbia, is visiting relatives in this place. Owing to the illness of Mr. Fennel and to ihe rain there was neither preaching or Sunday School at the Warren ton church yesterrinv. Master Robbie Brock, of Due West, visited his cousin, Master Henry Cheatham last Ur. Lindsay, preached a good sermon to a large crowd at Kocky Kiver, Sunday. llie picnic to be given at Monterey next Saturday promises to be a grand success. Mr. F. M. Wilson, will kindly, open his house lor the day and will be sure to huve a good fiddler on hand, so the young people will enjoy themselves. Candidates are expected and will be cordially welcomed. If you want to vote for "good meu and true" vote for Mr. J. H. Thomas for County Commissioner and Mr. R. G, McLees, lor School Commlsiioner. They will be faithful r officers and will serve the people well. About twenty-five of the farmers' wagons have been thrown out of work on the Rail* road near here on account of the heavy rains, which have made it impossible to work. Masters Brooks Cheatham aud Henry Wilson, spent last week with their grandfather i&r. William Brooks, of Abbeville. NOBODY KNOWS. I Contributed Locals. Abbeville, S. C., July 29, 1890. KalQ at Inst, and plenty of it. ' Mr. W. C. l)uPre and family, of Latimer, accompanied by Mrs. James Sliillito are visiting relatives here. j Abbeville must be a "boom" as dwellings are in demand and we hear of good people, who are desirous of coming here, but no houses for rent. Why don't some of our capitalists, or Building and Loan Associations, or loan companies build some neat cottages for rent ? In our humble judgment it would be a good investment. We don't believe there is a vacant house in the town for rent, then how do we as citizens expect people to move Into our midst, if Abbeville Is to be a growing and prosperous town, its own citlzents have, by offering inducements tojstraugers. to make it so. In short the future development of Abbeville largely depends upon its own people. Mr. Henry Hill and his brother Willie have been quite sick the past week, but we are glad to report them better at this writing. Mr. R. M. Haddon and daughter has returned from Little Mountain much improved in health. Capt. Williams, the polite and efficient conductor on the Abbeville branch, has been quite sick for the past week, but is up and at his p >st again. It you want to have an early turnip patch sow now, and with them sow a slight sprinkle or cotton seed, which will protect them from the sun, and can afterwards be pulled out. So says a good farmer who never fails to have a plenty of early turnips. At the conclusion of the regular mornlug service in the Methodist church last sabbath 1 a church conference was held which resulted in the following reports. Amount raised for ministerial support for this charge to date SKW.50. Sunday School in a live and prosperous condition. Class meetings were conducted with much feeling and interest, and enjoyed by those who attend. After a few timely remarks from the pastor the meeting adjourned. .Married?On July 24, at 7:30 o'clock by Rev. L. ! '. Heuty, Mr. Geo. \V. Syfan and Mrs. Maggie Mcilwaiue, all of Abbeville county. After the marriage ceremony and the congratulations of friends, cake and wine were served and the happy couple together with the Invited guests spent an hour In merry social chat. Wheu the entire party were Invited to the home of Mr. Sy fun's where a splendid supper was prepared and to which all did ample justice. After whiling away an hour or so In pleasant conversation, the guests bade the happy couple adieu, wishing that the days and years of tbieir luture life might be as bright and happp as this evening had been*to I one and all. Is It right and consistent for church mem- J beru to atteuc public dances or balls? Are they not rather lowering their religious standing in the eyes of the world, as well ns putting themselves In the way of temptation and by their presence encouraging others who should not beat such places? Answer for yourself. The Rev. A. L. Patterson Is preaching acceptably to large congregations in Texas, aud will retuin to South Carolina about the 1st of September next. Mr. J. D. Johnsou formerly a resident of Mt. Carmel, died a few days ago lu Edgefield county, to which place he had Just removed, lie was a worthy member of the Methodist church, and a good citizen. Rev. R. F. Bradley will fill the pulpit In the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at .Mt. Carmei the istsaooain in August. We hear that Trial Justice Covin at Mt. Carmei Is having a good ileal of Mormanism to contend with In his court, restricted exclusively to the "Afro-American" race. The crops of corn and cotton upon Savannah and Little rivers were never better, and the recent rains have done them no damage. We regret to leurn of the extreme illness of Mr. Ezelkel White who lives near Mt. Carmei. His son Mr. R. N. White, of Little Rock, Arkansas, has just arrived in time to see his lather alive. 'Tis said there Is a class ot people in this country still passing Confederate money, and declaring for Audrew Jackson as Governor. Is it so? The young people enjoyed quite a pleasant "Croquette Party" given by Miss Bessie Edwards last Monday evening. Ice cream, cake and i nil is were served, while music and merry conversation made up the pleasures of the evening. Beginning with the 2nd Sabbath in August, the'Bev. L. F. Beaty will preach the 11 o'clock sermon to the children, and will make It a "children's service" every succeeding 2nd Sabbath throughout the year. M. The August Conveiition??Tlie Clem* son College. The Kcowee Courier's Interview with Mr. Benet. "Do you think that the Tillmanltes will insist on nominations at the August convention ?" "I do not think so. They will be In the majority, but I do not think they will exercise the power which the August convention will Dlace in their hands. But I do think that It would be well for the State and the Democratic party if the minority in that convention will themselves propose to proceed to nominations. The result would be. no doubt, the nomination of Tillman and his ticket, but that would be the ease In the September convention. If this is not done, I suppose the August convention will simply take a recess until September 10." "Have you any objection to expressing your opinion as to the Congressional race ?" "Well, being myself a candidate, it would not become me to give my opinion as to the relutive strength of the candidates, but I have no hesitation in saying that the farmers of the Third District are disposed to support me on account of my work in the Legislature in their behalf In establishing the Clemson College. It has been stated that my advocacy of that measure was prompted by a hope of re-.."-.I 1" Iklo ?w??_ I nnn ? r-? 11. C,, 11 ? tow fViot when two years ago I trained and championed the bill to accept the Cleinson bequest, I had no thought of ever ruuutng for Congress. Judge Cotbran was then, to all appearances, secure in his seat as Congressman lor eight or ten years to come ; and then when I tramed and carried the bill through last session for the establishment of the college, no one, not even Judge Cothrau himself, expected his resignation." "You fought for the College, then, because you believed it would advance the agricultural interests of the State, and you sympathised with the efforts of the farmers to belter their condition ?" "Certainly, and I did so because I am in sympathy with the measures of reform Identified with the Farmer's Movement. Although I did not favor Capt. Tillman's nomination, yet I am not opposed to the platform of the March Convention." Dentil of Mr. James M. Latimer. Last Sunday morning, just as the approaching dawn announced the coming day, and the sun had lit the eastern sky with its rays, the black camel death knelt at the door of Mr. James M. Latimer, casting a gloom of sadnesB over the entire community. His death was uut uucApcvicu. rui duuio aiuuiiJD no uuo been troubled with a bronchial affection which waB. at times very painful, making respirations hard and finally causing his death. This disease has been growing on him for several years, but did not cause him trouble until several months ago when everything was done to check Its course, but It was too late. James M. Latimer was born on the 23rd of February, 1827, near Donnaldsvllle. There having a happy home and pious parents, he lived until 181o. Thence, he came to Lowndesvllle and lived with his uncle Col. J. Marlon Latimer. .In 1&5, he connected himself with the Metbodlstchuroh-always wns an active, zealous, godly man, doing much good for the church and endearing himself to all around tiim. He set an example which has been a shining light In this community and that will continue to shed us influence. "The good that men do, lives after them." In 1819, he led to the hymenittl altar Miss Elleu Lockhart, who was always a devoted wile and mother. To them were given five children. One died, the others have resided here since, made tor himself a host of frieuds who morn bis death. In his death, Lowndesville has lost a sympathetic citizen, this community a benefactor, the church, a star whose rays have lighted It for many years. 1 He was fully aware that his end was near and often talked of the joy that was awaiting him beyond the tide. He feared not the gloom Kcd shadow of death. It was to him but a transport to an eternal peace. The funeral services were held in Smyrna church, the Revs. Cautlien. Beard and Gains officiating. Notwithstanding, the inclemency of the weather, a large concourse of frledds were present to irive to him they loved the last sacred rite. After a beautiful eulogy by the Rev. Beard, he was Interred in Smyrna ccmctcry To bis family we express our heart-felt sym pathies and to cheer ihem would point them to a God, who Is husband to the widow, father to the fatherless. He lias entered that borne from which no traveler e'er returns. May hit rest be peaceful until he shall be called hence to receive bis crown at Clod's appointed time. DELTA. I,owndesvllle, S.

Williams, I'bn. lor of the Colored Presbyterian Church, IIhs to Say. Editor Press and Banner : My attention whs called a few days ago to an article published In the Richmond Planet, by W. T. Finley, formerly of Abbeville, In which he makes reference to me. I wish to state (1) That the assertion that my house was tired into, is utterly without Foundation In fact; no such a thing ever occurred. (2) That his statement, that I was lorced to move Into my church for protection against violence Is likewise untrue. (3) That Ihe Intimation that I at any time have suffered violence at the hands of the white people :jf Abbeville Is unqualifiedly false. In Justice therefore to a people among ivhom I have lived for nearly ten years in per'ect safety, I must promptly refute all such etters of defamation which must be a source >f deep regret to all good people.
