The announcement of the death of Mr. William F. Barr, which occurred at his home in this city Tuesday morning at'?> o'clock, was a great shock to his numer? ous friends and acquaintances, many of whom did not know that he was seriously ill. About two weeks ago he was forcod to take his bed on account of a severe attack of dysentery, which gradually grew worse until inflammation of the bowels set in, which caused his death. Dr. Nardin, the attending physician, ex? hausted all of his skill and knowledge in attempting to relieve the sufferer, and did not give up hope until Monday morning, when he saw that death was inevitable. Mr. Barr was 03 years old, and was a son of Leroy Barr, deceased, who was a well known*citizen of this County in hi3 day. He was born in this city, and spent his boyhood days in the Brushy Creek section of the County, where bis parents settled after they left Anderson. In bis young manhood he returned to Anderson, and for a number of years clerked in the stores of our venerable citizens, Messrs. 8. Bleckley and B. F. Crayton. He served throughout tbe war, having en? listed in the Palmetto Riflemen, and was a brave soldier. Since the war and up to two or three years ago be has been con? tinuously engaged in merchandising in this city. In the spring of last year he was appointed Postmaster for Anderson, and was a most efficient and accommo? dating official. Mr. Barr possessed a mostgenial, clever disposition, and was very popular with all of his friends and acquaintances. For more than thirty years he was a faithful and consistent member of the Presby? terian Church. In 1869 bs married Miss Lillie Hubbard, who preceded him to the grave about five years ago. Four daugh? ters and two sons are left to cherish the memory of a most devoted and affection? ate father, and in their sore bereavement they have the sympathy of our whole people. This morning at 11.30 o'clock, after ap? propriate funeral services in the Presby? terian Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. N. H. Summerei, the members of Hiram Lodge, A. F. M., of which he was a member, laid bis remains to rest in tbe Presbyterian Churchyard with the hon? ors of that ancient order. Death of Col. John T. Sloan, Sr. The Colnmbia State of the 23rd inst. contained tbe following notice of the death of a venerable citizen who was well known and most highly esteemed by the older citizens of this section : "At the ripe old age of 84, Col. John T. Sloan, Sr., a venerable and highly respect? ed citizen, passed peacefully away at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. His last ill? ness began some ten days ago, and al? though there was at one time an apparent improvement in his condition, be was too feeble to withstand tbe shock of illness and so passed away full of years and honors. "Col. Sloan was born near Old Pendle? ton, on Cane Creek, May 24, 1811- He graduated from the South Carolina College In 1829, standing very high in a large class. Only two of hia class survive him?Mr. Porcher, of tbe low country, and Mr. Lyles, of Fairfield, being the two. ''Col. Sloan was elected clerk of the House of Representatives in 1854. He was re-eleoted continually after tbe war and continued to be clerk until the Re? publicans came into power in lt'68. <aIn 1876 he was again elected clerk and continued in office till 1890, when he was not a candidate for re election. "Col. Sloan married Miss Benson, of Pendleton, who died before him on De? cember 18,1889, leaving surviving her two daughters, Misses Alice and. Eliza Sloan, and six sons, Senator John T. Sloan, of this County, Mavor W. McB. Sloan, of this city, David B. Sloan, of Fort Hill, Dr. Henry M. Sloan, of Edgefield, Dr. Gourdin Sloan, of Horry. Barnard C. Sloan, of Scbenectady, N.

Sloan was the clerk of the Seces? sion Convention, of tbe Constitutional Convention of 1665, and of the famous Wallace Howe. On tbe fiftieth anniver? sary of bis marriage tbe House of Repre? sentatives, then in session, presented Col. Sloan with a handsome gold watch and chain, appropriately engraved, as a testi? monial of his lone and faithful service as a public officer. He was s, member of tbe Legislature from Pendleton district before the war, his grandfather being one of the earliest Senators from Pendleton district. ' He was at one time a man of large means, bis faith in tbe Confederate cause led him to Invest largely in Confederate bonds, selling lands and- other property to do so. He moved to Columbia In 1865 to educate his family and continuously re? sided here since. "He was quartermaster general of the State during tbe war and just before the oity was destroyed by Sherman be succeed? ed in removing others, saving many valu? able State records. He was a member of Governor "Manning's staff before tbe war. "Col. Sloan, In tbe course of his long life, bad made numbers of friends all over South Carolina. His long service in the House of Representatives brought him in frequent contnet with many of tbe beat minds of tbe State. His knowledge of the political history of the State, thus derived, made him useful as a public officer and very entertaining in conversation. Many of hia personal recollections would form valuable contributions to rhe biatory of the times in which he lived * C>1. Sloan was a capable officer and * good citizen. He was of a kindly dispo sition, ready at all times to do for others His decliningyearB were made yright by tbe consciousness of a well spent l<fe, and by tbe affectionate offices of the sons and daughters whose welfare had always be?n among the highest objects of his ambi? tion." A Card from H. M. Prince. Editor of Intelligencer: Please allow me space in your columns to express-my thanks to mv friend of the ,4rfrocare for bis high and very disinterested encomi? ums on my speech in his issue of the 19th inst., and to express my deep regret that he allowed so much error and Inaccuracy to be mixed up with his compliments. We are sure that all who know his high regard for truth, will readily exonerate him from all responsibility in tbe matter, and conclude that it was a mere lapsus pennea or misprint of his devil, (who is usually regarded as the father of such things), for surely my learned friend well knows, with all who were present, that Messrs. Sullivan and Prince did not meet nor answer my arguments, but shied around them like a mule avoids a bole in the ground. Both of Mr. Sulli? van's speeches were simply personal attacks on me and vague charges against the Conservative party, and Mr. Prince's first speech was a tissue of generalities, not at all conspicuously glittering, wisely keeping out of my reach 'till assured of safety. I hope my usually courteous and obliging friend will maka. tbe necessary correction. H. M. Prince.
