The commis? sioner says that it is seldom that a road in the bands of a receiver is given so much attention Mr. Cleveland is the well kuown lawyer of Spartan burg, and Mr. Anderson is one of the youngest, if not the youngest railroad Superintendents in the country. There have been only two accidents on this road during the past year, one of these was caused by a negro taking up a rail, and the other caused by the breaking down of a coal car, thus showing the superior road management of the road. The Savannah Valley branch of the road has been much improved un? der the new management, and it Is now in good condition, the first time that such has been the case since the road has been built."

His health began to fail sev? eral months ago, and on this account was forced to resign'tbe Presidency of the Co? lumbia Female College.

He has filled circuits, sta? tions and the presiding elder's office and was President of the Spartanburg Female College immediately after the war and re? cently President of the Columbia Female College During the war he represented Abbeville County in the Legislature. Bis first wife was Miss Emma Capers, daugh? ter of Bishop Capers. Mrs. A. N. Talley is the only surviving child of this mar? riage. His second and surviving wife was Miss Charlotte E. Po wer/ of Abbeville. A few weeks ago their oldest child, Mrs. John E. Carlisle, died. This was a great affliction to the family. The other chil? dren are W. M. Jones, Mrs. G. W. Niob olla. 8. B. Jones and Miss Lottie Lee Jones." The many friends of the deceased will regret exceedingly -to hear of his death. Mr. Claude S. Beaty died at the home of his- son-in-law, Mr. Joe Masters, at Cal boun, S. C, on last Sunday. The an? nouncement of bis death was a great shock to his friends and acquaintances in and around this city, as he had been spending the past few weeks with his daughter, Mrs. Shetard, near this city, and had gone to Calhouu a week preced? ing his death. Mr. Masters is having a new dwelling house erected. Last Thurs? day afternoon Mr. Beaty went up on the scaffold to assist in some work, and, while thus engaged, accidentally fell from the scaffold to the ground, a distance of about eighteen feet,' falling on a pile of brick, painfully bruising his body and causing some internal injury. He was oarried in? to the house, a physician was summoned, and at first it was thought his injuries would not prove serious. However, be gradually grew worse, and suffered intense pain until death came, to his relief. On Tuesday morning Ibis remains were car? ried down into Corner Township and in? terred at Good Hope Presbyterian Church, of which ho was a member. Mr. Beaty was a son of the late David Beaty and a twin brother of Mr. Rufus Beaty, of this County. He was born and reared In Ibe Corner Township, and about 62 years of age. ? He was a generous, noble-hearted man, and was highly esteemed by bis friends and acquaintances. His wife pre? ceded bim to the grave more than a month ago. One son and four daughters are lett to cherish the memory of a devoted father, and in their sore bereavement they have many sympathizers. Another Good Citizen Gone. Mr. Elibu Wigingtpn departed this life Monday, 3-d inst, in the 77th year of his age. He had been in feeble health for some time, and kind and loving bands were watching and administering to his wants. Death came, and as peacefully and calmly as a summer zephyr his spirit passed away. He was a member of the Mountain Springs Baptist Church, and had lived a devoted Christian life. He was a man of great firmness and decision of character. He was not a man to parade bis opinions or advice before the world, but when either was sought or asked for, the answer was given with such fore? thought and judgment as to carry weight and force. It was remarked in the pres? ence of the writer by one of bis cotempo raries in life, (viz., Col. W. S. Pickens,) ' that be was one of the few men of his day whose sterling traits of character and life might, and could, be held up before the young America of to-day as being worthy of their imitation and emulation." After appropriate funeral exercises, con? ducted by Rev. D. I. Spearman, his mor? tal remains were laid to rest in Mountain Springs Cemetery. He leaves an aged wife, two sons and four daughters, a num? ber of grandchildren, with many other relatives and friends to mourn ; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. He has just gone on to join that innumer? able throng who have washed their robes and made them spotless white in the blood of the Lamb. The bereaved have the sym ""pafrhy of the community. D. E. K. Newell? S. C. Death of a Venerable Citizen. Friday morning, 7th September, 1894. at the home of bis son Oscar, Benjamin Bon neau Harris quietly fell asleep on earth to awake forever in Heaven. For a month, or more, he had been strangely affected, not sick really, but struggling a great part of the time to get his breath, which strain exhausted his system, shattered his nerves, took away his appetite, and in the end oc? casioned his death. For ten days, or two weeks, it was appa? rent he could not get well, and for six days, at least, his death was constantly expected. Everything was done for him that medical skill and loving, patient care could suggest. Two sons and three daughters waited around his bedside day and night, and another son and daughter visited him as often as was in their power to do, and kind neighbors vied with each other in rendering assistance, and express? ing deep Interest in his welfare. On the 20th of July last he celebrated in a quiet way his 83rd birthday. He was the son of worthy parents, and had two, or more, brothers and sisters, of whom two brothers and two sisters survive him. He was blessed with an excellent wife, who died 17 of 18 years ago, and with ten chil? dren, eight of them being still alive to bear witness by their actions to their ex? cellent Christian training. Besides there are a large number of grand children upon whom his influence for good has bad a telling effect, and he leaves also several great-grand- children. At the age of eigh? teen years be joined the Presbyterian Church (Nazareth Beaverdam) near Townville, and for 65 years his walk has been close with God in faith and deep hu? mility. For 35 or 40 years he was a faith? ful ruling elder in his Church, now Town? ville Presbyterian, and at all times he en? joyed the utmost confidence of the mem? bers of the same. As a citizen he was intelligent, industri? ous and upright; as a neighbor, social, courteous and obliging; as a friend, hon? est and faithful; as a Christian, humble, earnest and cheerful, abounding in good works, always trying to know and to do his duty, and as a father, tender, loving and firm. In fine there were few, if any, better men than Mr. Benjamin Bonneau Harris. He will be missed very mucb, not alone by bis dear ones, but by tbe people genorally in this community, and wherever else he was known. But our loss is his eternal gain. We will never see him In this world, but we hope to meet him in the world beyond, where there will be no sickness, no death, no partiug. "The Lord gave, and tbe Lord hath taken away: and blessed be the name of the Lord." A Friend Townvillc, S. C. Death of a Popular Young Man. On Saturday, the 8th inst., the angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Bowen, of Storeville, S. C, Ander? son County, and took from them their loving son, John. Jehu's death seemed an untimely one, viewed from a human standpoint. His sickness was of short du? ration. He took sick on Wednesday, the 5tb, and died Saturday, tbe Sth inst. From what I knew of him, I believe that the angels came and wafted his spirit to that better land. I know that the home-cir? cle has been broken and tbe loved ones have sustained an irreparable loss. We believe that this bereaved family have the heart-felt sympathy of all wko knew their deceased son. So lift up your dis? consolate hearts and look up through your tear-bedimmed eyca and recognize tbe band of Providence ruling in the affairs of men and plant yourselves on this hope, that, although you cannot now understand why tbe idol of yonr affections has been torn from yonr breast, yet rest assured that when the mists are cleared away and we, too, are summoned to meet our God, we can once more clasp the hands of our de? parted dead, and then, perhaps, we may know why it was that this flower was plucked in its bloom and others are per? mitted to mature. Death is sad at any time, but especially is it sad when it lays its icy grasp upon a young man whose soul is fired with a zeal to make of himself a citizen that would reflect honor upon his parents, upon his country and upon his Creator. Such a character as this was imbeded in the lofty mind and noble heart of the late and la? mented Jehu Bowen. It was tbe writer's privilege to know the deceased and to be intimately associated with him for several months. I always looked upon Jehu as being a young man of noble traits of character. I knew him as a student. As a citizen be commanded tbe respect of his associates. As a student he was honest, thorough, accurate, dili? gent and obedient. He at once won the highest degree of respect of both teacher and fellow-schoolmates, and this distinc? tion he held to the last. Tbe last time I talked with him he was making arrange? ments to go to College and thereby batter f>repare himself for the duties of life. But n the dispensation of God's Providence Jehu Bowen has been taken from the scenes of life terrestrial and, I believe, in? ducted into that higher sphere of life celes? tial and eternal. His funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. G. M. Bogers, and a large crowd assembled at the cemetery of Sa? lem Bapcist Church to pay their last re? spects to the deceased. \ Henry Stokes. Williamston Items. Trial Justice R. V.
