The facts surrounding this affiletion and lo*s to our community, are ol such a tragic nature that they would not be given, but to correct erroneous reports that may be in circulation, It is best to state them as they are: On the day above mentioned during the morning hours he was in his store doing bu?l netes as usual. Between 1 and 2 p. m., he went to bis home two or three hundred yards otr. ate bis dinner wtth the family aud seemed ramer morti cuecnui iuou unUoi. s-w,.., . .. he finished bis meal he left (be table, went to ' a room nod a moment afterwards a pistol shot was beard, and upon Investigation, he was found upon the floor upon blw back, with j a ballet bole In bis right temple, aud had already passed from time to eternity. Mr. Latimer wan tbe only son of Mr. and , Mr*. Jas. M. Latimer. He was born on May 26,1806, near this place. From bis birth he was quite delicate, but by the close attention ' and care of bis father and mother be was reared aud was given ail of tbe educational advantages that bis physical condition would warrant. He bad naturally a bright mind aud one that could bave been, but for bis enfeebled body cultivated to such an extent as that greater possibilities would have been opened up, which would have enabled him to reach a higher place among his fellow men. When about grown he entered bis . father's store where be soon developed an , aptitude for business, which caused him to rise to the front rank in a mercantile line. A few years ago, not long alter tbe death of his lather, be entered Into partnership with , Mr. E. W. H?rt'?r. and together tbey built up the most thriving business In our town. For this Held 01 labor he was peculiarly fitted. J tils honesty and Integrity were unquestioned. All considered him a high-toned, Christian gentlemaa. Wbenouroil mill stockholders met to organize, In looking for a governing head for our new enterprise, he was unanimously chosen to fill that Important posltlou, but thin additional care and labor was in a few months thought by bis friends to be too much lor him u> undergo, and he was ailvised to reaign, which he did. In early boy- . hood be united bltnstlf with the Methodist Church, and here too, he put hi* whole soul luto this, the work of the Master. As a boy. youth, young man, he never knew anything but to be good. , Years ago be was given the place of teacher of tbo young men's Bible class In the Sunday school, and subsequently was chosen Superintendent, both of which positions be filled <1 to the entire satisfaction of all concerned When bis health permitted he was ever at his post doing the work of a true, tried Chris- . Man. No man baa ever lived in any commuolty, who was more highly respected and In whom was plaoed more confidence by all , <.> tk.. 1 OIBHtttn), IUUU wanuui UCIIOIUIU llivuu lu Luir community. Cut off as lie was In ibe prime of life, when hln days of most usefulness were upon him, his place will be ve-y hard to fill. He was public spirited, noble hearted, generous. His family bag lost a kind, a loving , bead, the chinch a zealous, faithful member, a .strong defender, an untiring worker; the community one of Its best citizens. S Just what cause or causes lead to this last act of bis life, none can tell. Conjecture cau alone voice the general opinion that only the most complete mental and physical derange- , raent, brought about this deplorable eveut. He leaves a widow, four small children, h , widowed mother and three sinters to mourn tbelr loss. A large connection, with many friends, unite in feelings of sadnes, and ex ' tend to the bereaved, -their sincere sympa- J tbles.

Appreciation. If you would be helpful, be sympa-l t be tic, be appreciative. There is no| such inspiration as genuine appreciu- j tlon ; it is the keynote of successful! leadership. Some who are prominent; in Christian work have failed at this point. The pastor who stimulates his; people to untiring work is the one J who fully appreciates every effort put forth by them. Superficial defects | sometimes cause men to overlook real wortd, but it was not so with our Lord., Nathanael came doubting, yet Jesus naid of him : "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile." Appre-j elation and encouragement will de-J veiop gui/'* hiiu graces iu umuicra. which have dwindled and shrunk under adverse influence. But only | those who have truly put self a*ide can have a part in such heavenly ministry. ? . -.. ;iv. S'l/"-V.i ; . t .t .. , ..

J. Bryan will be the opposing candidates npxt year. Almost, as certain is It that William McKlnley will be ld elected for a second term as President. To I n such a stale has Bryan brought bio party tbat tbe Democracy will enter In 1900 Into a desperBB ate and practically hopeless straggle. Tbe conditions wblcb will be presented next year are outlined by Senator Depew of New YorK as follows: "So we sball have In 1600, as we bad In 189C. McKlnley and Bryan ' arrayed against each otner. Bryan was beatLh en In 1896 upon an Issue of 16 to 1. That Issue today Is Irretrievably dead. It is a ghost. r> Next year Bryan will run upon a general anil :! platform wltb enough of tbe free silver In It to hold tbe old timers. Bryan can not bring bis party to the post wbere Cleveland A brought It 1884 and 1892. Then Cleveland I brought bis party boldly to tbe front and gave It Issues of Its own. jToday Bryan must make his campaign upon a platform tbat declares against things tbat the people have Just _ endorsed. In other words, Bryan will throw the Democratic parly next year back to tbe . place It occupied from 1S60 to 1834, and with ' muffled drums and furled colors the party I,", will march behind tbe procession of expao' ' sIon and growth tbat the people have shown j: tbermelves to favor. Bryan and his party are fighting tbe tendencies of the nineteenth century and the certainties of the twentieth." This Is a very true ploture Bryan and bis ' _ coterie, reckless of party or of country In r their self Interest, or too small minded to i_ ^THHP me COUUlllOUB UI luo uwr, mo 0011.111K n , patcbworK dam against flirocg river. Un(ier tbe leadership of Cleveland tbe Democrat e Ic party, as Senator Depew eayn, became a ld poBltlve nod a strong force, that accomplished I, things. Under tbe Incitement?It can not be ' called leadership?of W. J. Bryan, tbe Demor cracy baa become a loose Joined negation ' that does Dot prohibit even. Tbe wreck wrought by Bryan of the flae structure reared by Cleveland is remarked by ' tbe New York Evening Post lu New Jersey, In the days ofCleveland'B leadership a strong Democratio mate, In national aod Stale , affairs. Tbe evening Posteays: "New Jersey " illustrates tbe blight of Bryanism perhaps , ~ more clearly than any other State. It is .. naturally Democratic, yet it shows not tbe .. slightest indication of swinging back, as that , other naturally Democratic State, Maryland, _ v has done. There Is no reason to tbink It ever Jf y will as long as Bryanism remains a portent " on tbe horizon, and as long as tbe character- R Q less leaders who have bestridden tbe party In Bryan's name remain in control. The i, e respectable Democrats are evidently letting that crowd as severely alone this year as they {l g did in 1896. Bryan Is thus, in New Jersey, as !? , he is In Ohio and New York and Pennsylva- " la, the saviour of Republican bosses. He denounces them, yet he plays Into tbelr r 0. bands. But for him there might be some . cnance 01 unnuruing lutjiu ; uui wum. iuim u , 10 profll a New Jersey voter to get rid of Boss L ,, Sewell and fling hlmseif into the arms ol " Bryaulte Bill Daly ?" .{? The same con till ion prevails In New York, h ! Indiana, in Massachusetts and Ohio to some extent. Illinois, California, Michigan, ie Iowa, all debatable Statas during the deoade of , Cleveland's leadership, are now fast riveted to Republicanism, driven tbllher by Bryan. It Is hard to view the conditions with equanimity, and quite Impossible to baveany patience with the wrecker who baa destroyed so ruthlessly the creation of a master builder. r; , . ie Smith's Dry Goods and Millinery continue to sell rem0 nants of Sea Island at 4 cents, . e cotton checks at 4c.

This Ik due to several causes, to wit: ome 8ehool Districts overdrew their apporonment for the previous year, and the overraft was deducted from tbe present apporonmeut. In some districts fewer pupils ave been reported, the total number of cbllren, however, has been Increased which debased the per capita rate. Tbe main cause of a decrease In fund Is the ict that the apportionment for last year nrough an oversight) was more than tbe indx actually on band. Apportionments are aged not on a certainty, but necessarily on a Approximation. Respectfully, J. 8. GIBERT, Co. Supt. of Education. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. _pik <)fv OtadtDNd 8oh?dol?
