Harman, age 28 years, the youngest son of Mr. G. M." Harman, editor of The Dispatch, died at the home of his father on Saturday morning at 2 o'clock after a brief illness. A short funeral service, conducted by Rev. W. H. Hiller, was held at the family residence on Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock, after which the body was laid to rest in St. Stephen's cemetery, in the presence of a large eoncpurse of gsorrowing relatives and friends. The pall-bearers were: F. E. Dreher, Dr. P. H. Shealy. Sam P. Roof, Harry Roberts, Samuel Bickley and Sim J. Miller. Tribute to S. H. Harman. Entered into rest S. H. Harman on the morning of the 20th of June, 1908, in the 28th year of his age. Today marks a sad evept in the home and in the Jieafrt of one who has lost a fond, faithful and true friend. His presence is greatly missed, but his memory will ever be cherished. His chief aim was to do good, to merit the friendship of all, to be hostile to none. It was a source of joy to him to relieve distress, to protect the feeble and friendless; more than usuany gift ed with talent, perseverance and energy, he succeeded in the profession which he had chosen. He leaves a fond father, with brothers and sisters to mourn his loss, for his was such a domestic affectionate disposition that his place in the home circle is sadly missed; but we are taught that God does not willingly afflict or grieve us, and it is hoped that He may comfort them with the thought that all is well with their dear one, and that he < has merely passed from death unto life.

S Then followed the forming of the j B nob last night, overpowering of the ailor at Hemphill and the lynching j j& )f the six negroes held for the mur- ; J5 ler of Dean. Five were hanged to | |g tee same tree, while another attempt-.! gj id to escape and was shot to death. ; l<ater in the night William McCoy, ~ mother negro, was shot and killed i vhile standing at the gate of the !

Derrick, clerk of the Lex- SP' ington County Dispensary Board, has 1 received the following letter from State Dispensary Auditor West, who recently checked up the books ^ and accounts of the board: ^ "I beg to submit the following re- j port on the dispensaries operating in Lexington county. On the Oth of , April I went to Lexington court house for the purpose of checking up the books and accounts as kept by the County Dispensary Board, and also j I to investigate the management of ; Mi their affairs. I found the books and ] accounts accurately kept, and the statements that have been made from time to time by the board have been ( in exact accordance with the books. sp< I examined the bids and awards, and ? it is my opinion that the board is ex- K ercising good judgment in the pur- ^ chasing, and that it is acting in per- sol feet good faith in all of its management t>f the affairs of the dispensary. The expense account is low, and there are vouchers on file for all moneys handled by the board. I balanced * the cash and find the same has been ?ei accurately kept by the book-keeper. "a I beg to state here that I did not un check and verify the assets of the ?u board other than cash account, but it appears from the books that the dis- a 1 pensers with the County Dispensary Board are in perfect balance and that there are no shortages existing." ~ ] ] Bolt Killed Parents. i ?"a???? ?
