GREENWOOD'S GLEANINGS.

Greenwood, 8. C., May 17, 1892.
Sunday trains on tbe R. & D. road seem
very much out of place, because unusual.
We are llvln? In a progressive age, you know.
The strawberry crop Is not very prolific but

Walter Cameron, Jr., made an assignment
to W. C. Devore last Thursday.
In reply to the Press and Banner's Interrogation,
why married people do not officiate at
weddlugR, Mrs. Janie says as a rule,
married ladies have a dual reason, the prime
one being their Inability to procure the necessary
trouseau, and a woeful lack of the change
necessary to purchase a present for the bride.
And now comes a semi-Register denial that
Governor Tillman used the profanity attributed
to hlir in nn Interview with a Y. M.C.
A. delegate. It is now In order for the voung
man to substantiate his statements which
thus far have been unchallenged though uttered
a fortnight ago. The people ail want
the truth in this matter and Governor Tillman's
evidence would be worth a great deal.
Heretofore he has had the manhood to acknowledge
his mistakes, If in this Instance
he has been slandered, reparation, as far as
possible, should be made. If, on the other
hand, his organs?recognizing bis egregious I
blunder In grossly Insulting a community
and Incidentally the professed religion of his
followers?are attempting to hide it from

Miss Harper and Miss Tatham of Texas

are visiting their uncle, Dr. Millwee. Miss
Harper Is on the staff of the Baptist Herald,
Dallav, as editor of the Missionary department.
Rev. Mr. Forrester Is full to overflowing

Under the caption "were we all asleep" the
News and Courier has a somewhat belated
editorial settlug forth the unconstitutionality
of appointing men from the legislature to the
Judicial department. If this metropolitan
Journal did not so completely ignore Its less

have seen that its editor, A\lr. Gonzales, Argus

We have heard a great deal of Atlanta's
hospitality, hence were surprised to know
that they didn't even get reduced rates for the
trustees of Furman University during the recent

A striking example of "poetic Justice" was
that of one of our little graded school boys,
who on being remonstrated oil the evil of
story telling by a leading, yet devout Tillmanlte,
replied "I would rather tell a thousand
lies than vote lor Tillman."

Some crank has written the Chester Buiefln
advocating the working of public highways
with the InmateB of the asylum. This
sounds like a Tlllmanlte's attempt to burlesque
the worklug ot convicts. The Medium
however supposes him to be an antl of some
prominence, and proceeds seriously, In a ball

to the conservative ticket, and there may be

It.

that all those wbo differ wltb us are Ignoramuses.
Such is not the case, hence I pass
it by unchallenged, leaving the many intelligent

DEATH OF T. W. MoMILLAN.
The End of n Lone and Uneftil I.lfr.
Our whole community was much shocked
last Saturday morning at the announcement
of the sudden death of Thomas William McMillan,
one of our oldest nnd best citizens,
who lived about one mile and a half from the
public square.
For two months he had been a great sufferer
from dyspepsia and melancholia. From
the first he seemed to think that he would
never get well, and declined to have much
medical attention, while he disliked to take
nny medicine which had been prescribed for
him. But up to the morning of his death the
family were apprehensive of no immediate
donger.
While In the room alone, members of the
r?miiv henrd two reDoris of a pistol. Hasten
Ing to hlR bedside It was found that a pistol
ball bad entered tbe forehead piercing the
brain, and our departed friend was in the last
agonies of death. One pistol ball missed its
Him, but the other struck a vital part. Tbe
act is supposed to have been the result of
mental derangement, brought on by dyspepsia
and melancholia. Being activeand full of
energy his confinement bore heavily upon
blm, and tbe signs were unmistakable for
several days that his mind was unbalanced.
Mr. McMillan was born about sixty-six
years ago In Abljeville county, and lived here
his whole life. He was a selt-made man In
tbe truest and best sense of the word.
He was a member of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church, but his distinguishing
characteristics were brought oat and developed
in works of love and mercy to bis fellow
man.
He had a warm and tender heart which
never wearied in works of kindness.
And during his long life he placed many a
noble deed to the credit side of nature.
He was brave and true in tbe expression of
his sentiments, and in the performance of
duty, he never turned aside nor swerved from
tbe highest principle.
He was a man Indeed.
He was the noblest work of Ood, an honest
man.
Sensitive and retiring In his nature, be never
pressed forward to prominence or official
station. He was content to remain a member
of the great army of bread winners.
In his unceasing industry and in his untiring
energy were lound the best examples of
thrift and substantial merit.
Although he bad few advantages in nis early
life and little to rely upon except his
strong common sense, yet through bis Indomitable
will,and sterling integrity of character,
be became a successful business man and
gained the high esteem and perfect confidence
of all who knew him. No man ever had a
better reputation for honesty and falrdeallng.
No man was ever more truthful or more sincere
in his speech.
About thlrty-flve years ago Mr. McMillan
married Miss Elizabeth Lesly, and they reated
a large family. Mrs. McMillan and nine children?six
sons and tbree daughters?sui vivo

At an early hour on tbe evening of 5th Inst.,
our academy was brilliantly lighted and
thronged with an anxious crowd who bad
gathered to witness the closing exercises of
our school; which has been so successfully
conducted by Prof. W. T. Hudson and bis
most efficient assistant, MIks Fannie Stall
(both of Greenville, S. C.) They have given
such general satisfaction that tbey were
unanimously re-elected, and it Is earnestly
hoped they will return to take charge of the
school for another term. They have endeared
themselves so much to the people of our
town that we are reluctant ?nd give them up
even for a short vacation.
Every one pronounced the entertainment a i
success, and left feeling that tbe training was
thorough in both departments,
