Lites of Troy, Greenwood countr, died suddenly on last Monday night, Oct. 8rd. He was in his fifty-fiftli year. He, with several friends, were oul hunting. Some of the party were in the act of cutting a tree when he told then] that he felt hot anil strange and would sil down and rest. Presently one of the par; ty noticed that he had fallen and ran tc him. He expired in a few minutes. He was in the best of health and so fai as is known had no premonition what . ?' ever of the near approach of death. For many years he was Post Master al Troy and only gave up the office a shorl time ago to his brother-in-law, J. N. Dendy. He had a wide acquaintance in ths county and was universally popular with his friends. He was unmarried and spent much ol his life with and for his sisters who wiL sorely miss his presence in their homes He was a son of Kobert Lites. He leaves three sisters, Mrs. G. C. Bradley, Mrs. J N. Dendy and Mrs. Mollie Latimer; tht first two of Troy the last of Greenville, S. C. Cons Into mv Parlor. Said the Snider to the Fly. A news note from Columbia says that National Committeeman, J. G. Capers is going to clean out the Aegean stables< that is the Republican party, not only the colored contingenly but also those white men who have affiliated with them. This is awful. >, For a man to have taken republican medicine in South Carolina straight without a grimace in order to get what plums might fall his way; to have stood staunch for so many years and then to be read out m of the organization is a bitter dose indeed. The Republican Party doesn't seem to know just where it is'at'itself, and it seems that if Capers has his way those Repubii' cans who have affiliated and flirted with the "homo africanus/ contingency will soon be at a loss to know where they are - ''at." Come into my parlor, said the spider to fly! Thomas H. Ray. In the death of Thomas F. Ray, Laurens has lost one of her best men. The travel mg men or the State, especially of this part of the State held Thos. Ray in highest esteem. It was a pleasure to be in hie company. Always buoyant in spirits, even when suffering himself, sincere in soul, broad in his views, lovable in disposition, deep in hiB sympathies, every single ac" qualntance will feel that he has met with personal bereavement in the passing of this universal friend. "Large was his bounty, a soul sincere, Heaven did a recompense as largely send He gave to earth twas all he had?a tear V He gained from Heaven twas' all he wished?a friend." ? # ^ Pay the State MalitiaAn effort is being made to pass a law by which the State malitia may receive some renumeration for its sen-ices. If the . National Government would do this it would strengthen the State Malitia beyond measure. If the National Government would do this in a short time it would be able to cut its standing army in half and still have just as strong an army and per. haps much stronger than it has today. There is not much likelihood of the United States going to war soon again any way, and should it be necessary there would be no trouble to raise an army on short notice, an army just as efficient, just as large or larger than the one we have at present. The money such a proceedure would save the United States would be enormous. If those who are working for national economy would bring about this change they would save the county more money by so doing than they possibly could by worrying with the tarriff for a generation. Judge Gary's Speech before the Law Class at the State University. Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary, spoke to the law class at the University on the legal right of the South to secede. The speech of Mr. Gary covers the ground completely and Is simply unanswerable. The document should be filed with the secretary of ptate to be kept in the archieves of the Capitol as an unanswerable defense of the Grand old stats In regard to secession. Judge Gary has gone to the very foundation of things in this article, and in his terse style makes it plain to the clumsiest reader. He has conferred a favor on the state in preparing the article.
