Miss Lizzie Marshall married Sam

widow.
, Dr. Marshall was the last of his gen

been for a hundred years a factor in al
the activities.
His sisters were: Mrs. Kittie W il
liams of Oreenviile, and Mrs. Jamei
L. Orr of Anderson, and Mrs. Sprou

His brothers were : J. Foster Mar
shall, who commanded the Abbeville

Samuel Marshall, John H. Marshall
and George W. Marshall, brothers o
Dr. Marshall, have long since gone V
' their reward.
Before the war, Dr. Marshall wa
rich in this world's goods. " Owninj
many sl&vee and vast stretches of lam
in Abbeville County be was a facto
in the business circles of that day.
Among other lands which he owne<
was the area now called the Promise<
Land. Under a law which had be*.<i
enacted by the Radical Legislature, ai

lands for the purpose of selling then
again to freedmen. This land o
Br. Marshall, under authority of tha
law, waa bought, cut into small tracts
and sold on credit to the highest bid
der.

creek which Dr. Marshall owned 11
connection with this land was sold ti
Mr. James Evans and it was by hin
transferred to Mr. Cole who owns i
today.
At one time Dr. Marshall owned th
block of stores on the public squar
now occupied by R. Rosen burg & Co.
the Farmers Bank, and C.W. Kendall
Dr. Marshall built an imposing resi
dence which crowned Magazine Hill
Tt was destroyed bv fire in the Sum
meroflS76. Upon that cite was al
terward built the home in which h
died.
Because of au injured hand Di
Marshall did not enter the army, bu
he served his people in another wa;
honorably and nobly. Of his abundan
riches, he gave to the needy, am
from his cheerful heart went ou
the encouraging word to those wh
were passing under the rod, or whos
life was overshadowed by distress.
At one time Dr. Marshall was
member of the Legislature from thi
county and was for a long time a di
rector in the Columbia and Greer
ville Railroad.
When Dr. Marshall was a youn
man he was remarkably successful i
business. But, after the war, with
greatly reduced estate, he seemed t
ave lost the art of making monej
The sagacity and good judgmec
which directed him in a normal cond
tion of the country were unavailin
when the times were out of joint. H
had advanced too far in life to forgt
the old ways or to learn new methodi
After the war, with demoralize
free labor, he planted his lands i
Georgia. The result was not satisfa*
tory. He lost much of the money thi
he had saved from the losses by th
war. Subsequently, he and his soi
William Marshall, invested large sua
in the city of St. Joseph, Missouri.
During the last years of his life t
did little else in a business way tha
to practice medicine. Although h
spent much of his time In reading, h
was frequently seen upon our street!
and for all whom he met he bad
pleasant word. While the frosts <
many winters were upon bis bea<
the sunshine of tpring lighted u
his heart.
While he was feeble for years, an
while bis heart-action was sluggish 1
a degree that was alarming to h
friends, yet he was always cheerfu
He shrank not at the approach of tt
Jaft great enemy. And to his friem

0 many years ago, and nearly all the
men of that day have joined the silent
s majority. Among those still with us
i. are: I
, Hon. W. H. Parker,
1 Mr. H. T. Tusten,
Mr. J. Frasier Livingston,
p Col. J. T. Robertson,
Mr. W. Joef Smith, ,
Capt. John G. Edwards,
r Kindred and lriends came from a '
; distance to attend the funeral of Dr. j
Marshall, which was conducted iB the
Episcopal church, and neighbors were 1
j present to do him honor. The ser- 1
j vice was concluded at the grave in i
- Long Cane cemetery. 1
Mrs. Jane Crawford, now 88 yaars
of age, was one of the uotable per- \
. sons who came to do honor to the
. dead. None, outside of his own k'in- J
- dred, more sincerely mourned tho |
- death of him whom she had known
i and respected all his life.
Her own brothers, and her own sis
ters, had long since left her, and of
a the acquaintances and friends of her
1 childhood, Dr. Marshall lingered longer
and waa the last to take his de
parture. Of the friends of her childs
hood, not one now remains. Bhe

ome Points About Road Rollers aad
Their U>e. v
Every road is made smoother and
iarder by rolling, and dirt roada are
io exception to tills rule, says Isaac B.
'otter. We have all noticed that the
lardest and smoothest parts of a counry
road are the narrow strips which
fhn nofloocfl nf fho wfltrnn whp^lfl
hat have gone over it, and these parts
iave become hard and smooth because
he wheels have acted as rollers. But a
ragon wheel is not always a very sat- I
sfactory roller, for the reason that the ?
rheel tires are too narrow, and when n
he road is wet and soft the narrow ?
wheels sink into the surface and form i
uts and cut and mix and mangle the ?
Llrt out of all reason and destroy the d
;ood qualities of the roadway. If all J
he wagons used on country roads t
ould be provided with tires four inches ^
ride, they would roll the surface more
moothly and more quickly, and it
yould be in fairly good condition for *
learly the whole year round.
A good horse roller will serve much
o cure this difficulty, and such a roller j

vhere they can be used to advantage

uburbs. They are generally more elective
in 'their work and if kept busy
ire vastly cheaper to operate. They
reigh from seven or eight tons upvard,
the ten and twelve ton sizes beng
perhaps the most popular.
Rolling should follow closely upon
he work of the road grader or scraper
o as to consolidate all the looBe earth
vhich the action of the scraper has
aid in the line of the roadway. The
oiler should pass many times over the
ofter portions of the road, and where
he road is very dry and not inclined

o hasten the action of the roller. The
oiling should begin at the sides of the
oad and work gradually toward the

tassed from end to end along the side

of the roller should slightly lap

The use of oil on highways Is steadly
increasing in favor. In Moiine, ?

is a remedy for dust, and the results e
lave been satisfactory. Bourbon, Ind., \
s considering the Idea of sprinkling

.here is a very serious one during the
lummer months, for there are no gravil
beds from which to construct roads.
The towns of California, which have

)f any other state, are testifying to the .
jreat benefits derived from oil on the
llghways, by the continued use they

lust, says the New York Tribune. The
)oard of supervisors of Sacramento
ire greatly In favor of oiled roads.
Three hundred or 350 barrels of oil a
nile are at times necessary for the
jermanent packing of a sand road, but
n many cases only 150 barrels need be ised.

The roads of California are in most J
?ses of sand, and the great benefits I
lerived from the consolidating of this J
(and with the oil is continually testi- I
led to by those in charge of the high- r
yays. Not only is the oil a better dust I

lilAg Straw to Improve Roads. "
The farmers of Walla Walla county, I
(Vash., are trying the experiment of I
aying their roads with straw to lm- |
>rove them, says the New ?ork Trib- P
me. Every fall the highways become |
leep with dust, making traveling hard j
?n man and beast. Heavy rains meant L
nud, and the dust could not be re- J
noved without destroying the road- I
vay. It then occurred to an enterpris
ng Individual that if all of the farmers |
vould contribute straw and all hands r
issist in laying it on the roads most J
raveled there would be a great change I
or the better. The experiment was a |
lecided success. The farmers turned J
>ut in force, plenty of straw was of- I
'ered, ready hands laid it to the depth |
>f a foot or more on the main thor- |
mghfares of the county, and traveling P
>ecame easy. Three hundred miles of |
oads will be covered with straw this |
fall. I
