ON MORALS OF TNE COUNTY- FOURTEEN
LODGED IN JAIL IO FAR.
The "Glorious Fourth" brough} with
lt not only hot weather, but "hot timen"
as well. Magistrate J. Mat. Whit ml <,
of Newry, has sent up to re ral batches of
prisoners to the Ooonee jail, numbering
in all thirteen.
Felix Findley, Lucius Gantt, Bad Mc
Kinney, Ansel MoKinney, George Mc
Kinnoy, Ben Lovingood, John Lay, BaluB
Sloan, Bob Dendy, Mat. Scurry, Nulner
Sloan, Andrew Sloan, and Wm. Gam*
broil, (all colored), were lodged in jail in
batches since last Saturday, the lut in*
stalment reaching Walhalla lato Monday
afternoon. They are charged with par
ticipating in a row and shooting at Old
Piokens, near Mount Sinai ohurqh, in
this oounty. W. Marion Gray, a white
turu, was shot, and is seriously wounded,
though hope is entertained for bis re
covery.
Mr. Gray had been'working in hit Reid,
but left there to go to Gantt'a store for
something, and while in the publio high
way came in contact with the crowd of
negroes, who were engaged in a general
hilarious row. A numlwr of shots were
fired by members of the orowd, and it is
said that Qeorge MoKinney was their
target. One of* the bullets struck Mr.
Gray just above the left breast, umging
down, and passing between the first and
second ribs. He was taken to his home,
?orno distance away, where he was given
medical attention. His wounds sro seri
ous, though not necessarily fatal, and the
participants in the row whiob resulted in
his wounding are hold in jail to await
developments. ,
During the progress of the various
Fourth of July picnics in th-< oounty
there was more or less rowdyism.
Soarcely a single gathering escaped dis
turbance of some kind. Whiskey was in
evidence to a marked degree, and all of
the troublo reported was due to the
abuse of liquor.
It is reported that at the Mount Sinai
churoh every meeting day there are a
number of negroes from Piokens oounty
who cross the line and dispose of quanti
ties of liquor. This may be an opportu
nity for the oflicors to make a valuablo
haul in the future.
Shel Fhre People Near Fair Play.
Bud Willard, white, shot five persons
near Fair Play, on Monday. Willard had
had a quarrel with W. J. Cooper, alto
white, about a dog. Willard went to
Cooper's home to get the dog in dispute,
words followed, and Willard returned to
his o ?rn home, got his gun anil returned
to Cooper's to straighten the matter out
in military fashion. On sight of Cooper
Willard fired, aoattering shot promiscu
ously into Cooper and fo <r members of
his family. No one was seriously hurt,
but still they aro 'well aware that a gun
was fired in their immediate neighbor
hood, and have bad an Interesting expo
rienoe picking shot from under their
skins. One man had over thirty shot in
his body, and a woman bad the good
luok to escapo with but one. ' It seems
that the members of the family vjoro in
a pretty olose group in tho yard just a
short distance from the house. Willard
was committed to jail Monday by Magis
trate John D. Sheldon, of Fair Play, and
ia now awaiting events behind the bars.

PINEULES for the Kidneys
30 DAYS' TREATMENT FOR SI.0O
?
ft Tribu!? ts Rev. J. M. Sanders.
Editor? Keowee Courier: It has been
.aid that the living should deal tenderly
with th? dead. It ha? alto been said
that if th? flowers which decorate the
graves of our dead had been strewn
along their pathway in life, and th? kind
word? in marble * epitaphs had boon
spoken to them while living lt might
have been better for the dead.
Be that aa lt may, I feel moved this
morning to contribute a few lines to my
dead friend, Rev. J. Milton Sanders, who
died at hi? home July ?Ul-hia birthday
and was buried the next day at Poplar
Springs, In the presence of a large con
course of relatives and friend?. He was
64 years old the day of his death.
When the tocsin of war sounded In the
BixtioH, he left the plow in the furrow,
and in the bud ?nd bloom of young man
hood laid hi? ?ll upon the altar of the
South, that he loved BO well. Mr. San
ders volunteered In Company D, 29d
South Carolina Regiment, and |nobly fol
lowed his mighty ohleftaln, Oeu. R. E.
Lee, from M an astas to Appomattox,
breasting the blazing guns on many a
bloody field of battle; and he was one of
the number who oharged up tithe rooky
sides of Gettysburg, and imprinted on
the cold, pitiless stones there, ia letters
of blood, their ohivalry and oourage.
After the war Mr. Sanders engaged In
agricultural pursuits. He was an ac-,
coptod minister of the Poplar Springs
Baptist church, and for thirty years he
has been preaohing the everlasting gos
pel of the blessed Christ
And, on account of his oonaeorated life,
he was able to say with Paul, "I am now
ready to be offered ; the time of my de
parture is at hand. I have fought a good
fight; I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith." In life he was patient,
kind, gouorous, humble, courteous, un?,
aelflah, sinoere, even to the last wearing
the ornaments of a meek and . geutle
spirit. He had learned the obvious les
son of the gospel, "He that would be
great, let him serve* he that would be
happy, let him give." His labors of love
as a minister will forever abide to show
how deep was his loyalty, and no doubt
his godly lnfluenoe will sink with deeper
impress, and shine with Indestructible
beauty in the lives of those who knew
him best. Like the resplendent olonds
of sunset, he will reflect rays from
Christ-fair ?nd full of peace. It ls thus
the Lord shapes th? ?un of beauty in us,
and seems, perhaps, only to reveal ita
glory by taking, but thanks be to God,
He makes that winch remains by the
same stroke, and thus chisels and glorifies
until it becomes possible for our career
to be crowned with the same glorious
end. At present it may be with weeping
eyes, tear-stained obeeks and bleeding
hearts, but standing on lt? elevation,
bathed in it? light, we look forward and
oatoh a glimpse of the glory that ls to be
revealed, and, like our dear brother, we
hear strains of musio flowing down from
the mountains of God, so let us comfort
ourselves; as friend after friend departs,
I let us bear the loss and treasure the gain,
I until with us, too, life's fleeting fever
ends, and we sleep well.
While he lived, he was God's good gift
to na, but now he is gone, let us share in
his triumph and stand by his side when
he goes up to be crowned.
And now, with this bouquet of flowers,
I oome, and, with uncovered head and
with silent tread, will lay them on the
grave of my departed friend, and with
them I drop a tear and breathe a silent
prayer, "May tho mighty powers of
gravitation srosrd and koop them there;
may t !u y bo sprayed with the gentle
dews 01 heaven! May the sun shine
upon them and paint their tiny p?tala in
all the beauties of nature! And God
grant that the happy viaion that BO
charmed and delighted the sweet singer
of Israel may reat as a benediction upon
the memory of Rev. J. M. Sanders for
ever!"
And to the bereaved family I send con
dolence. May God's comforting grace be
sufficient for the sorrowing loved ones
left behind. May He draw each one of
the family right dose to His great lov
ing heart. May He guldr the feet of
eaoh one in the way of eternal life, and
may eaoh one look forward with the
sweet hope of a hippy reunion ono of
these days, when God shall say, It is
enough; oome up higher.

proven fatal before medicino could be
procured or a physican summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. No physician oan pre
scribe a better mediolne for these dis
eases. By haviog it in the house you
