Death of Mrs. Geo. S. Drafts.
At half past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, surrounded by loved ones Cl
and friends, the gentle spirit of Mrs, ^
Emeline Drafts, the beloyed wife of e:
the Hon. Geo. S. Drafts, judge of pro- ^
bate, took its flight and returned to A
the God who gave it, as pure and as S
spotless as when it first saw the light 0
of day. ^
For several weeks she suffered, ^
bearing her affliction with that fortitude
characteristic of the christian. s<
"God touched him with His finger, CJ
and he slept," the poet, wrote. So J1
may we say of this dear life?"God 1?
' touched her with His finger, and she 0
1 slept," but not until a beautiful life a
was lived, a noble example of pa- v
tience, fidelity to truth and faith were a
given. Not until visions of a heaven- 01
ly life, in Christ Jesus, had cheered "
and illumined the valley of the shad- ^
ow. And now, that she sleeps, mem- h
ory takes np the harp of life, and
smiting the strings, finds that her vir- ^
toes melt into music. So it ever is,1 ^
when alife is nobly and divinely lived. J'
Life will never be quite the same to P
those who knew her, while those who f
were nearest to her will long for her ^
with unutterable longinra?long for a ?
mother's counsel and advice, and a *
wife's gentle and loving sympathy. *
She was a woman of strong christian a
character; patient, loving and self- 8
sacrificing. e
Well may her children cherish her v
memory as a precious legacy and we v
fain would say a word of comfort to a
the stricken ones we can but let our *
tears flow in sympathy with theirs, r
and point them to the promise, "At c
eventide it shall be light." *
The deceased was about 69 years of ^
age and is survived by her husband, 5
and the following children: Dr. An- c
drew B. Drafts, of Hendersonville, ?
N. C., Mr. Chas. H. Drafts, of Augusta,
and Mrs. Lizzie Boozer and Mrs.
' X
Thos. P. Meetze, of Lexington. She
is al9o survived by one brother, Mr. 8
Levi Wheeler, of the Fork. '
The funeral services will be con- *
ducted from St. Stephen's Lutheran a
church by Rev. T. S. Brown and Rev. 8
r
J. A. Cromer this afternoon at 3
o'clock, the interment to follow immediately
thereafter in the Drafts bur- '
ying ground, near Lexington.

ing, with modern equipment, will ^

Court Proceedings.
The regular summer term of the
ourt of general sessions opened on
[onday morning with the Hon. Ernst
Gary, of Columbia, presiding. Socitor
Timmerman, Stenographer
.nderson, Clerk of Court Shealy,
heriff Corley and the other officials
f the court were at their posts, and
le machinery was begun without deiy.
Judge Gary delivered one of the
;rongest and most far-reaching
harges co the grand jury ever heard
ere. He stated at the outset that it
i always a pleasure to preside over a
ourt in Lexington, where the people
re so hospitable and kind, but it was
ery unpleasant indeed to find such
n array of indictments; that nine
ises had been brought over from the
ist term, and the solicitor had inarmed
him that there were a very
irge number to be handed out during
his term. He then branched off on
he wave of crime that is prevalent
Lroughont the laud, and urged the
arors to be men and do their part in
utfcing a stop to all crimes and to use
very effort in their power to suppress
t. He cited a number of statistics to
how the amount of crime that is daiy
occurring in the United States and
rhat it costs the government in the
ttempt to check it. He said that the
tatistics show that only two out of
very hundred cases tried are conicted
in the courts of this country,
rhile in England, France, Germany
,nd Belgium, the percentage of conictions
is very much larger. As a
esult, he pointed out, crime in those
ountries is not near so prevalent,
le closed with an earnest and eloquent
plea for intelligence in the jury
?anel, and urged the jurors of this
ouuty to help aid in the enforcement
>f our laws. "Do your part," he said,
'and I'll do mine."
The first case taken up was that of
leber Davis, a negro, charged with
issault and battery with intent to
:ill. The jury, of which A. Madison
iutto of Pelion, was foreman, found
, verdict of guilty of assault of a high
md aggravated nature. All of the
>arties were negroes.
The trial of John Miller, a white
nan, charged with assault and batery
with intent to kill, was begun on
donday afternoon. Miller was
:harged with having fired a 9hotgun
nto the home of Mr. John Head, near
>axe-Qotha, several months ago while
tn old-fashioned candy-pulling was in
>rogre9s. Three of the occupants of
he room were injured by the shot,
>ut none of them fatally.
True bills were returned in the folowing
cases: John Miller, assault
ind battery with intent to kill; J. A.
Slack welder, violation of State bankng
laws, three cases; W. A. Oxner,
>racticing medicine and surgery with>ut
a license; Jacob Koon, assault
vnd battery with intent to kill. The
lefendant pleaded guilty and was eenenced
to pay a fine of ?-50 or ervse 4
nonths on the chaingang; W. B.
jlenn, murder; Elmore Koon, murler;
M. B. and Artie Buff, assault and
>attery with intent to kill; Henry
jyles, murder; Mack Hill and Will
jeaphart, assault and battery with inent
to kill; C. H. Counts, et al., larieny
from field; James Bundrick, vitiation
of liquor laws.
The grand jury finished its work
resterclay ana were aismisseu.

Srastus Risinger Charged
With Silling Mitchell.
Erastus Risinger, a young white
nan of Freedonia, was arrested and
edged in jail on Monday by Constaile
George \V. Asbill upon a warrant
worn out before Magistrate Shealy
iy Jajnes Ford, charging Rilinger
nth the killing of Henry Mitchell, a
egro, at Freedonia, on the night of
lay 5, last. A negro Dy the name of
)enley was also arrested as being .an
ccessory before and after the fact,
>ut was later released, the officers beng
satisfied that the negro was innoent.
The arrest of Risinger was due to
he persistent efforts of Solicitor Timlerman,
who, upon being informed
f the circumstances surrounding the
ase, took the matter up with Uoveror
Ansel, who, in turn, dispatched
)etective Rowell to the scene. As a
esult of the work of Mr. Rowell suftiient
evidence was secured to fasten
he killing on the white man.
E. L. Asbill, attorney for Risinger,
lade motion Jor bail before Judge
lary at once, which was granted, the
mount beiug fixed at $3,000.
