Death of the Last of the Founders of the Episcopal Ch?rch in Edgeheld. Edmond 6. Bacon, Esq., departed this life on Wednesday, the 23rd of Septem ber, 1885, at the residence of his son. Capt Edmund Bacon, in Spartanborg-in the eighty-first year of hie age. The found ers of the Episcopal Church in Edgefield -just fifty years ago-were Mrs. Mary Parsons Carroll, Mrs. Whitfield Brooks, the Rev. Arthur T. Wigfe.il and Edmund B. Bacon, Eeq. Mr. Bacon donated the lot upon which the church stands, besides giving largely otherwise of his private means towards its erection. As to his j personal labors ic ile behalf for many years subsequent to its foundation, they were onerous, unremitting and se'f-sacri ficing. These two sainted women and Arthur Wigfall have long been in the en joyment of their reward. And now the last of the faithful band-in the commun ion of the Catholic Church, in the confi dence of a certain faith, in the comfort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope-has gone to jo:n them ic Heaven. Aftersuch noble faith and work ia the church mili tant, he has entered into the joys of the church triumphant. Mr. Eacon removed from his native Edgefield thirty-four years ago, to Green ville, where, until a few months before bis death, he lived continuously, and where he enjoyed universal honor and love. He was ever a model of a christian gentleman and citizen. And ia contemplating such a life as that of oar venerable and departed ancle, how sweetly do those words fa'1 upon cor ears from the Apocalyptic vision : " 1 ht .rd a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write from henceforth blessed are the dead who die in the Lord : even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." And in the lan guage of that sublime Burial Service which consigned bim to the earth, well may we give hearty.thanks to A'mighty God for the good example of our departed friend, in common with " all those Thy servants, who, having finished their course in faith, now rest from their labors " Death of Mr. W. Cary mitchell. Editor Monitor: Mr. Wm.Cary Mitch ell died at his residence this morning, at about 3 o'ciock, after an illness of several weeks. He leaves a large family to mourn his loss. J C. G.

I Culbreath, wc wrote as follows: j "After a jury of inquest viewing hi* body on Tuesday, it was takenZoy hi? brother and brother-in-law to the .home of-his parents, near Pleasant) Lane, where to day, Wednesday, we presume it will he buried in thefamirV graveyard among ancestors, and' fol lowed.!)}' many relativas, upon whoijftl honored escutcheon there is no .^hr.d,oj^.| of stain." These lines, uttered in deepest pity and sympathy, have misled many. of our cotemporari.es and many of our people. And as this ?B a crisis for the sternest and haldest truth, we now eay that we should have written, " upon whoso honored escutcheon, until now, there has never been!a shadow of jtain." To let it go other wise than this, would be, in some de gree, to cast reproach upon the un happy woman who ia the greatest Buf ferer in all this wretched complication, and, as we firmly believe, the most in nocent eufFarer. Of course we allude to tho widow of 0. T. Culbreath. And before we would cast such reproach^ or the, faintest Bhadc-w of snch re proach, upou this unfortunate and unhappy woman, wo would sever tho five fingers from our right hand. We have known Fannie Prescott inti mately from the time she wap a happy | little girl ; and if. she is not ail that is good and noble and true, theu we shall find it very hard in future to have faith in any human goodness. We abate no jot or tittle of what wa said in condemnate of this most atrocious lynching, but. perish" the thought that any unconsidered word of ours should bring - as it W^fe^ a shadow of reproach upon Fannie Prescott, or any forgetfulness q^aer great eor?qw^and^lasted life.
