Tho Eagle and Pheonix Mills at Columbus ar8 among tho largest cotton mills in tho world, nod tho treasurership is a vory important placo.

F. Laey, , of Seneca, who bas for a number of years been in the bakery business at that place, was admitted as an inmate of tbo Ooonee oounty poor house, where he expooted, in the natural course of human events, to spend the closing days of an unusually sad life. About thirty years ago Mr. Laoy, thon a roHident of Lynchburg, Va., and en Joying the average comforts of life with tis wife and children, became estranged from his family by reason of a trivial misunderstanding. Resolving to sepa rato himself entirely from hie family, Laoy sold out his business in Lynchburg, turuod over the proceeds of the sale, amounting to $1,400, to his wife, in structing her to use the money f ?r tho maintenance of herself and c.ildren, and loft without giving any information in regard to where he intended going. For niie years ho buried himself in the ranks of the United States army, and aftor loaving there ho wanderoo! hore, thoro and ovorywhoro over the country, working fur a day or for a month in a town, as tho fancy struck him. For eighteen years ho led that stylo of lifo homeless, but not friendless, for almost everybody was Pat Lacy's friend. Drop ping into Seneca about four years ago, (from everywhere, anywhere or nowhere in particular, as you may ohoose to call it) ho steadied himself and "located," opened up a bakery, did a fair busiuLis and made enough to live comfortably. During all these years of wandering over the country not a word was over written to wife or ehildren, nor a syllable uttered to a human being to indicate that he had a family. But the Bunny days of careless case and peace had their ending some months back, when Lacy's health began to fail. His work becamo burdensome as ill health tightened its grip upon him, and finally his business was gone and he be came dependent upon tho charity of neighbors. In Juno last, Laey became an inmate of tho Oconeo poor house. In "talking to Lile Cox, of Seneca, as he was leaving to go "just ovor the hill to the mun' bouse," ho told for the first time 'he story of his unhappy family quarrel, Ilio salo, the disposition of the money, tis wanderings-confiding all his long kept secrets to his friend as he was about to become a dependent upon public char ity. Mr. Cox, believing tho story of his unfortunate friend, took tho trouble to investigate tho matter, audsoon learned, by uso of telegraph and telephones, that Lacy's children still resided at Lynch burg. The story was confirmed iu every detail, and last Thursday tho money for a tickot and Other expenses were tele graphed to Lacy by his son-in-law, and ho was urgod to return at once to Lynch burg, where a good homo and the com forts of life awaited him. Ou last Friday Messrs. J. P. Dillard and Idle Cox, of Seneca, passed through Walhalla on their way to the county poor house, from whence they took him to begin his homeward trip. Strango indeed is truth and reality oftoD st i angei- by far than fiction.
