Evans, formerly commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, died at his home in Atlanta Sunday afternoon, July 2, at 4.40 o'clock of Brlght'B disease. His death was not unexpected, and several of his chil dren were at his bedside when the end came. Gen. Evans, who was 79 years old, had been confined to his home since the first of last April, but had been in ill health for several years. He was born In Stewart county, Georgia, in 1883, and went to Atlanta to make bis permanent home in 1889, when be was appointed presiding elder of the Griffin district in the North Geor gia Conference of the Southern Meth odist church. At the Hmo of his death he was still a member of thc North Georgia Conference, holding the office of treasurer of the Preach ers* Aid Society. Gen. Evans was elected com mander-in-chief of the United Con federate Veterans in April, 1908, and served for two years, declining to accept re-election on account of his health. He was then elected to tho position of honorary commander-in chief, being the first member of tho veterans' organization to he accorded that honor. Gen. Evans ls survived by six chil dren- Mrs. W. S. Evo and L. B. Evans, of Augusta, Ga.; P. H. and Clement W. Evans, of Mexico City, and Mrs. R. G. Stephens and Miss Sarah Lee Evans, of Atlanta. ? Sketch of His Life. Gen. Evans, since his early man hood, had been prominent in the af fairs of Georgia, military, business, civil, and in the work of the Metho dist church, of which he was a min ister for 25 years. Ho was born in Stewart county in 1833 and was educated In the com mon schools of Lumkln, and after ward at Judge William Tracy Gould's Law College at Augusta. He was admit'od to the bar before he was 19 years of age and was elected judge of the county court at the age of 21. During his practice of the law he was associated with some of the most prominent men in tho legal profes sion of the State. He was sent to tho State Senate when ho was 26. When ho heard of tho first elec tion of Abraham Lincoln he immedi ately organized a military company and prepared for tho conflict which he thought was inevitable. He served under Jackson, Early and Gordon, attained the rank of brigadier gene ral and fought in almost all of tho principal battles fought by the army of Northern Virginia. After the surrender at Appomat tox he returned to his native Stato and worked to reston' her to her for mer place in the Union, He resumed the practice of law, but soon entered the ministry of the Methodist church, in which he worked for 2f> years, later devoting bis time to literary pursuits. At one time ho was a candidate for tho nomination of Governor, but withdrew to prevent a split in the Democratic party. At various times he was trustee of three colleges and took active interest in educational matters. He aided ninny young men through college by advancing the money necessary for their studies. Ho also was active In looking after widows and orphans of Confederate Veterans. He succeeded Gen. Stephen D. Lee as commnndr-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans in 190S. He waa the author of "A Military His tory of Georgia," and edited "The Confederate Military History." At one time he was a member of the State Prison Commission of Geor gia and had been designated by Gov ernor-elect Hoke Smith to be the next adjutant general of the National Guard. Funeral of (Jon.

General of Georgia, was laid to rest in consecrated ground af Oak land cemetery yesterday afternoon, accompanied to bis grave by a long procession, which included ?ho local National Guard, tho five United Con federate Camps of Atlanta, tho Daughters of the Confederacy, Sons of tho Confederacy and Children of tho Confederacy. The religion:; ceremonies look place at tho First Methodist church at 3.30 p. m., after the body had lain In state throng-bout tho greater part of the day beneath tho dome in the ro tunda of tho capitol. At tho cemetery tho ceremonies were those only performed over martial heroes. A battery of artil lery, drawn up near tho Confederate monument, fired a roaring salute over tho open grtlVO of the old chief tain, and tho buglers?.of tho Gover nor's Horse Guard sounded taps.

Farmers in this section of Oklaho ma aro planting their fall crop of Irish potatoes. Wo make two crops a yoar. Potatoes have been selling for $2 o bushel by the car load. We make from 50 to 125 bushels to the acre of Irish potatoes; corn, 50 to 100 bushels; cotton, from a half to ono and a fourth bales to the acre. Hay ls a failure, as lt Is practically burnt up. Wo have plenty of chills and fever out hero and the water is not good. But the officers aro always on the lookout for money. If a man picks up his gun he has to have a license or ho ls lined for lt. General prices are good, however. Chickens, grown, bring from 40 to 50c. each; frys 25 to 35c; eggs 15c. per dozen; hogs are cheap, ranging from 4 to 4%C. per pound, but cows sell all tho way from $2-r> to $75 each; corn ls from 75c. to $1 a bushel; Hour from $5 to $5.00 per barrel; meat, 12 to 14c. per pound. Horses and mules atv high priced.

Enos Bottoms. Sabbath Observance. (Greenville Piedmont.) Wo have commented several times recently upon the growing lack of reverence for tho Sabbath in tho South, pointing out as specific in otanccs the institution of Sunday base ball games in Jacksonville, Fla., and Nashville, Tenn. In this connec tion It is gratifying to note a speech made by Uni ed States Senator Sim mons, of North Carolina, to the North Carolina Rural Letter Car riers' Association on the Fourth of July, demanding a moro fitting ob servance of the seventh day. The Senator brought his argument about by referring to tho proper ob servance of the Fourth. Ile declared that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution wero epoch making documents not only in this country, but In the entire world, and that in the future they would consti tute the dominating influence of the world. He stated that since these great Instruments have come Into being the European monarchies have lost, their substance and they now have as representative government as our own. "Their influence does not grow less, but greater, We must not neglect to observe this great day with fitting ceremony. When a nation ceases to observe Sunday, it is not long tin til idolatry creeps in, and a cessation of the observance of the Fourth of July may bo surely taken as a sign of national disintegration." The Senator referred again to the ob servance of tho Sabbath, deploring the spirit of some communities.

Ono hundred and twenty-five infants, who died from tho heat, aro included in tho list of dead. The hot wnvo was broken shortly after 1 o'clock this morning by rain, which brought with it a cool breeze and a drop of tho temperature of six degrees. Later the wind shifted from tho west to the north and tho mer cury gradually dropped until at 7 o'clock it stood at 80 degrees, six points lower than at the correspond ing hour yesterday. At 9 o'clock tho temperature was 7 8, compared with 93 for tho same hour yesterday. Cooler in tho West. Hausa?

DR.KI'iG'S NI WM 5 SCO VI RY W i Surely Slop That Cough, COMPLAINT AGAINST HOADS. Anderson Citizen Citen Caso of Good Bridge Almost Useless. Seneca, July 7.-Editor Keowee Courier: 1 am a traveling man and have occasion to travel over a good portion of Oconee county, mu? while some of your roads aro very good there are others that aro a reproach to as flue a county as your is. But 1 sat down to write more es pecially ns to a piece of what I might call folly. I think it is the limit or a little beyond. I refer to the road leading from Salem to Chapman's bridge, on Keowee river. Why any set of Intelligent county oflicialB, (and I presume that is tho kind you have) should 'have built ? substan tial iron bridge over that river and then provide no good blgbwuy or good means of approach to, or means of getting away from, tho bridge ls beyond ordinary comprehension. There ls ?. bare trail leading from tho bridge on the Oooneo side, di rectly up a. mountain side for a. half mile or moro, that is almost Impossl ftnd positively dangerous to descend for buggies and carriages that have no means of locking the wheels. This bridge, I suppose, must have cost about. $2,000, and lt ls almost use less to tho tmvellng public. I am not a citizen of Oconee, but of Anderson county, where we have generally good roads-certainly those leading to bridges over Im portant streams-and it might be said 'that it is none of my business: but lt ls my business insofar as 1 be long to'the great traveling public and have to use your roads and bridges, and besides, several cilizens in 'there asked me to call attention to it in your columns. Nature has made a good ridge ap proaching that mountain, but man ha3 done very little. A good road of easy grade can be constructed down that mountain, as has been done on Hie IMckens side along Big Eastaloe.
