exercises suitable and appropriate, and
were very interesting, and while the con
gregation was an unusually large one, the
house being full, the Presbyterian and
baptist churches called in their services
in order to be and were present and it can
be "safely said that the crowd was so
laige. and many girls and hoys being in it
yet, even the little tots were on their good
behavior.no fretting, no running about,
but all from the youngest to the oldest
seemed to tie impressed with importance
of the work in hand, and by the most
marked attention, directed to the constant
ly hanging exercises for the especial
benefit of the boys and girls, out of whom j
are to be made our future men and wo
(
men, and it is earnestly hoped that the
young jieople of our land will be so trained (
that in after Jyears they, will make good
men and good women, who are so badly ,
needed in church and state. (
Rev. J.;C. Chancellor, pastor of Smyrna, i
aided by the good ladies who are experts (
in bringing about that "eternal fitness of i
things," together with all of the scholars <
who so admirably performed their respect
ive parts, deserves much credit forgiving

HONORED GUESTS.
Come Irom the City of Colleges,
High Kriucation and Good
Morals.
Mr. R. C. Brownlee, his son, Mr. Lau
rence Brown lee. Mr. Grier Stevenson, and
Mr. Erskine Agnew, all of Due West, were
in Abbeville last Monday when all of our
people, whose privilege it was to meet
them, were glad to see on our streets some
of the best men of the city of colleges.
The young gentlemen are handsome
specimens of true manhood. We have not
begun to charge anything up to them on
account of their not being married, but we
will keep tab on them hereafter.
Of Mr. Brownlee we have a little story
which proves the erroneousness of the idea
that poor boys, or young men if you bet
ter like the latter classification, should not
marry. When Mr. R. C. Brownlee started
out in life he had not a dollar. But he had
a bravo heart and steady hand. For two
years he was salesman or bookkeeper in a
store. At the end of that time he told his
sweetheart that he had in this world's
goods only the savings of some two years'
work. Making an honest confession of
lK>th his financial condition and the yearn
ing of his heart, he submitted his fato to
the best beloved girl on earth, and told her
if she would take him in his poverty, that
he was anxious to marry her. Knowing
that loving hearts are more than coronets,
and not being of a mercenary mind, she
recognized in him the jewel of the true
manhood that existed in an honest heart.
Hia proposition was accepted. Miss Fan
nie Bonner, youngest daughter of the late
Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D., and Robert C.
Brownlee were married. A number of
children have come to bless the poor boy
una tne moneyless gin. Jrrospenty aiter
ward eume to them., and we believe that
Mr. Brownlee is today perhaps the richest
man in Due West. In the fact, or in the
history, of his great success, is fully set at
naught any idea that poor young people
should not marry. If the girl is jis ambiti
ous as was Miss Bonner, and if the boy is
made of the right sort of grit, as was Mr.
Brownlee, the girl will do her full share in
the work and her pleasure will be as great
as his in the success that will come to
them.

MAJOR NANCE'S
78TH BIRTHDAY
Celebrated by Family Reunion
?An Active and Honorable
Career.
Sunday. June 80,1912, was the 78th birth
day of Major F. W. R. Nance, of Abbe
ville, and as has been his custom for
many years, lie had his children with
him to enjoy his birthday dinner and to
further cement the family ties.
Major Nance lias for many years been a
prominent lijjuro in the politics of Abbe
ville County. Progressive, even in the
inodernly specific meaning of that term,
and outspoken always, lie has been found
in the front rank of every political up
heaval from the days of reconstruction
through the days of Tillman and the alli
ance and even to the present day. He is
an outspoken supporter of Gov. Bleuse in
hi?? present race for governor.
Major Nance has filled important and
honorable positions as a public servant.
He served first as a county commissioner
when the fiscal affairs of the county were
administered by three commissioners. His
work in this office was so satisfactory that
he wa6 later easily promoted to the office
of sheriff. His administration of public
office, and especially of the sheriff's office,
was characterized by fairness nnd prompt
ness. If papers were put in his hands for
service or other business to be transacted,
lie rested not until the requirement was
behind him. After eight years of faithful
service, he did the unusual by voluntarily
returning to private life.
As a foov Maior Nance was reared in af
fluance. His father numbered his acres
by the thousands and his negroes by the
hundreds. The Major had his own pri
vate horses and buggy even as a mere col
lege boy.
Progressive in politics,, he was no less
progressive In matrimony. He graduated
from Erskino College. His graduating
speech, which had been passed on by the
professors, was on the subject, "Man was
made to mourn." But this speech was
never delivered. Just an hour before he
went on the commencement platform he
took unto himself a wife, a fact that was
known to only a few of his intimate
friends, and in contemplation of this act,
ho had prepared another speech on, "The
consistency of woman," which he delivered
amid great applause, as the fact leaked
out through the audienco that he had
joined the benedicts.
Major Nance enlisted in the Confederate
covvino JnniPb' linfiillinn firrl S P InfuntTV.
in 1801, and served through the war. The
fortunes of war having been adversely set
tled, he returned to his wife and two little
children to take up a new problem of ex
istence under changed conditions. For
many years he hold his own, and when he
was elected County Sheriff, ho had the
good sense to save his money, and set
aside a comfortable estate to support him
in his declining years.
The Major is faithful in his friendship,
and has that jovial disposition that makes
friends. Perhaps his unchanging genial
ity, more than any other one thing, has
held him up while traveling far along life's
way.
Wc are indebted to a friend for the fol
lowing summary of events in the Major's
life:
Born in Newberry County, June 30,1834.
His maternal grandfather was Cclonel
.Tames Williams, who was killed in the bat
tle of Kings Mountain. His paternal
grandfather was Hon. Frederick Nance,
eighth lieutenant governor of South Caro
lina. His ancestors were of Scotch-Irish
descent. They settled in Virginia and af
terward moved to Newberry County along
with the Chalmers family of this place and
Newberry. Major Nance's father was also
named Frederick and his mother was Mar
garet Williams. His mother and father
moved from Newberry to Laurens County
when he was about two years old. He re
ceived his primary education at Head
Springs, Laurens County, in the pastorate
t>?.. i 1? T>
ui ivc^ . x/a>iu uuuuihi in biiv a. av. x.i
Church, and under the dlrectioi of a Mr.
Baxter.
In 1850 he entered the freshman class in
Erskine College, graduating therefrom
four years afterward. One of his class
mates was the father of Erskine's present
able president, Dr. J. S. Moffatt. He mar
ried Miss Janie M. Agnew just an hour be
fore making his gradating speech, thus
crowding into one short day two impor
tant events of his life.
Dr. Ebenezer PreGsly, President of the
Seminary, married Miss Agnew's only sis
ter. He selocted farming as his life work
and moved to Mississippi. He was there
when secession was being agitated In this
State. He returned to Abbeville County in
1860 and entered the army, James' batal
llon, 3rd S. C. infantry, 1861. He after
ward served in the cavalry, Holcomb's le
gion. After the war he engaged in farm
ing and the mercantile business at Honea
Path, later moving to Due West to educato
his children. He was elected county com
missioner in 1890, and 1892 was elected
sheriff of Abbeville County, which position
he held for eight years, declining re-elec
tion.
Major Nance lost his iirst wife in 1894.
Their living children are Samuel F., Eliza
beth, J. A. and Enoch W. Nance, all of this
county. He is justly proud of his chil
dren and their affection for him is very
mot-borl
He was married a second time to Miss
Ella M. Huckabee of Lowndesville.
The Major has documentary evidence to
show that he was one of the first "farmers
movement" men in Abbeville County,
amongst them letters from Captain B. 11.
Tillman looking to the organization of the
farmers movement. He has a letter from
J. R. Brown of Dallas, Texas, calling on
him to organize the farmers alliance, which
[organization, non-political as it was said to
be, was thought by some to have had
something to do with the strength and
growth of the "farmers movement."
The Major has had a life of ups and
downs, but with common sense, good
judgment and a kindly word here and
there he lias provided against the rainy
day, and now in the evening of life he is
resting on his laurels.
Right in touch with
the Up Country.
