Meeting of County Democratic Executive Committee Called. A vacancy having occurred in the first magisterial district of. Edgefield county, through the death of Magis trate N. L. Brunson, and as he was nominated, or rather recommended for appointment, in the last primary election, with more than three-fourths of the term yet unexpired, the mem bers of the County Democratic Ex ecutive Committee are called to meet in the Court House at Edgefield Mon day, June 20, at ll o'clock a. m., to decide whether or not a primary election shall be ordered in the first magisterial district to name a suc cessor to the late Magistrate Brunson, and to provide for the holding of such election, should one be decided upon by the committee. A full attendance of the commit tee is urged. J. L. MIMS. County Chairman. Death of Mr. N. L. Brunson. Monday night about 10:30 o'clock Mr. N. L. Brunson died at his home in Edgefield, after a lingering illness extending over a period of 6 months. For the past four months he has been confined to his home and much of the time to his bed. He was a great suf ferer but made a strong fight against the dread disease that seized him nearly a year ago. Although stead ily growing weaker as .the months and weeks passed, he was hopeful to within the last week that he would recover. Mr. Brunson was in his 79th year at the time of his death, having giv en four years of his life to gallant service in the Confeedrate army and having borne well his part in the stormy days of re-construction. At the time of his death he was magistrate at Edgefield, having served the people in that capacity for about 10 years. Mr. Brunson was a member of ,the Baptist church, from which the fu neral was conducted Tuesday after noon by Rev. G. W. M. Taylor. Mrs. Brunson and their only daughter, Miss Genie Brunson, died about ten years ago, and his last resting place is beside their graves in our village cemetery. During his long illness Mr. Brun son was unceasingly ministered to by his niece, Miss Kellah Fair, and nephew, Mr. D. D. Brunson. They gratified every wish and gave them selves unselfishly, both night and day, to contributing to his comfort. Rare ly, if ever, does one see such beauti ful and unselfish service so nobly ren dered. Although the long months of nursing made inroads upon their strength, neither of them relaxed in their vigilance, being faithful to the end. Miss Sophie Dobson Entertains U. D. C.

At the conclusion of all business refreshing peach and vanilla ice cream with caramel iced cakes was served, the meeting proving a lovely climax to the chapter's series of 1920-1921 meetings.
