Pool, who lives about a mile west of town, had been dynamited shortly before o'clock. The motive that prompted the dastardly deed is unknown, the family rigidly holding to the story that thoy know of no one who could have committed the deed for revenge or sinte. Just bow much dynamite was used ls not known, hut a con siderable hole was blown in the ground under the house where the charge lay. The explosive had been placed under the parlor, about the center of the room, which was badly torn uii, the floor being torn up, walla mutilated and furniture and pictures broken and shattered. Had there been people In the room it is hardly possible that they would have es caped alive. The whole affair is veiled in mystery, though there are slight clues that will doubtless even tually lead to the guilty parties.

There are many in Oconee who will ; learn with deep regret of the passing away of H. Gordon Langston, who was well known all over Oconee and in other counties as a man fearless in the discharge of his duties, hon est and honorable in his dealings with his fellow men. Mr. Langston passed to his reward last Wednesday night about !? o'clock, after a brief serious illness, though he had been in failing health for several years. His last illness commenced Monday night before his death. Mr. Langston was born in Plckens county August L'S, IN'S, and in 187(5 was happily married to Miss Rebecca Lntrokin. Funeral services were held Friday morning at IO o'clock, the interment following in Westview Cemetery, the services being con ducted by Dr. J. L. Stokes, of the Methodist church, with which the deceased had united about four years ago. We join with others In extending to the bereaved ones sympathy In their sorrow. Plain, unpretentious, unobtrusive his later years giving evidence of sound conversion and the daily living of a thorough Christian life-Gordon Langston made staunch friends who will miss him and will Jong remember him pleasantly. We are in receipt of the following short article, which speaks of tho de ceased forcefully, giving a clearer view of the inner life of Mr. Lang ston : li. Gordon Langston. When I came to Hie Walhalla Methodist church seven months ago. one of the first to welcome nie was that man who was everybody's friend, H. Gordon Langston. On every hand he was known as "Uncle Gordon." Ile drew the little chil dren to him as he hound tho older ones by hooks of steel. Yet he was not learned, nor rich, nor powerful. He was loved for himself alone. His was ever a friendly spirit; and by grace he became "an Israelite indeed in whom there was no guile." On a trip together to Seneca, Bro. Langston first opened his heart to me, his pastor. He told me of his late profession of religion. lt was only four years ago. under the preaching of Dr. S. li. Helle, of At lanta, during the pastorate of Bro. Drlggers, that he definitely gave his heart and life to God. Many testify of the wondrous change in his life and the self-evidencing reality of his religion, while he himself knew the sweet witness of the Spirit, and con scious communion with God. Bro. Langston was one of nature's noblemen. He was a "good man. full of the Holy Ghost and of faith." We miss him, but know where to find him. He was not quite 56 years of age. He leaves a worthy widow, who was Miss Rebecca Bntrekin; one son, William W. Langston, of Enterprise, Ala., and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Morgan, of Walhalla, and Mrs. C. A. Heck, of Dora, Ala. They have the richest heritage in the memory of this good man. J, L. Stokes. Walhalla, July 25, 1 9 1 4. AN IMPORTANT MEETING Of the County Democratic Executive Committee tm August .'bl.
