( o!. Patrick was apparently in Iiis ' usual good health the day preceding, and was on the streets several times j during the day. < Mi Thursday morn ing lie arose at Iiis usual hour, and while dressing he suddenly fell to the Hour, exclaiming "Oh, Lord!" .Mrs. Patrick, who was in tin- room, ran to him and called other members ol the household to his side, hut he was be yond human aid. A noble life wa> j ended. A great big heart was stilled. ! Col. Patrick, was horn in I bu n well ; County. S. C. March is:!!!, The genealogy of t he Patrick family goes hack through Kngland to Strasburg, Germany. Col. Patrick was reared on a taint in Iiis native County, and his early education was acquired at the country schools. In his eighteenth year he began the vocation of a teacher and taught for nine months, after which, at the age ol nineteen, he en tered the South Carolina Military Academy, from which he graduated ill |s.V>, as a Lieutenant. lie then became a tutor in Furmaii University, where he remained three, years, during the tirst two of which he pursued classical studies in addition to performing his duties. In December, LSW, he accepted the position of assistant professor of mathematics in the South Carolina Military Academy. A year later he was promoted to the lull professorship in mathematics in the same institution mid held that position for a number of years In he began ;t private' school in < ' reenville and was then made principal of the preparatory depart ment of Purman University. Three years later he resigned this position to take charge of what was then known as the Pcabody School, at (lit nville. Ho remained its principal for two years, when the Pcabody fund was withdrawn. In 1n;o he organized the Greenville High School, and eight years later converted it into the Green ville Military Institute, in IS*? he re moved the institution to Anderson in order to secure better buildings, ami then changed its name to the Patrick Military Institute. He enjoyed a wide reputation us a teacher.

For several years he was Secretary of the Baptist State Convention. During Un civil war be rendered services to the Confederacy in connection with the South Carolina battalion of cadets. In his schools he was the instructor of a great many young men, on whom he made a deep and lasting impression. Hy his instruction and example, many of his students arc making a success in various avocations and arc tilling many positions of trust and honor. All of bis students will ever cherish his mem ory, and his influence for good will be felt for years to come. Charitable in all things, highinimled and honorable in his dealings with men, hopeful and courageous in the 1 battle of lifo, it is not wonderful that j lie drew to himself a host of friends : and received the plaudits of his fol- 1 low-men. His hand was ever open for j the succor of the unfortunate, and if need be to his own discomfort ho would ? relieve the necessities of suffering j n humanity. Col. Patrick married Miss Louisa \ Goodlett, of Greenville, who with three ? sous and three daughters survive him, j and in their sore bereavement thev have the sympathies of a wide circle of ( friends throughout the State. j ; The funeral services were hold last \ - Saturday morning in the First Baptist Church, and were conducted by his j .jmstor, Rev.

We intended to have said something concerning the campaign meeting at Sandy Springs but. really, there was nothing worth telling over. Joshua Ashley. Prince, Bucket' and Mooney. wen; -among the best speakers. The prominent issues were discussed by the candidates for the House. It seems that the liquor question presents the grandest theme for public discussion. We correspondents, perhaps, will boat a loss to tindastibject to write on when the election shall have set aside, for awhile at least, the present issues. But it is good to remember that life and happiness consist in doing and being, not in talking and dreaming. It is im peratively declared that the battle is not to the mighty. Just so, we lind that a few have held to prohibition with imperturbable tenacity, while a great host have rushed ou witlt au im petuous momentum that seemingly would be impregnable to so small a number. Yet, if prohibition does not gain the supremacy this time, it will ! gain it. Prohibition will mark a new era, and na great era has over dawned simultaneously. It is necessary that the public mind hi' prepared to face a new era before a new era begins. The home is the proper jilace to main tain a guard. There is where the genius and welfare of future generations are moulded. Bon Am.ytkih. Pisgah Locals. We have had some refreshing shows eis recently that have helped crop considerably, although the present prospects are very deplorable. Cotton, upon au average, will lall short of last year, and corn is a decided record breaker.

Your obedient servant, Joshua W. Ashley. A Card From .Mr. Smith. In the I ottii's of Anderson (Jonnlu: The impression has gone out into the County, that I had declined to make the second race for Clerk of Court. <>n the day after the election, 1 consulted some ot my friends on the subject of my withdrawal, but did not say posi tively that I would do so. After muture deliberation, I have concluded that it would be unmanly in me, and an in justice to the friends who supported me in.the first race, to decline to run again. I believe that my opponeut wants a fair expression of the people, and would not want the ofiice without a decided vote on this question. As to "myself, I had rather go down to defeat with honor, than to show the white feather at this juncture. I have made the race on principle, and whatever the verdict of the people may be it will be satisfactory to me. Vei v Respectfully, Ii. I?. iMITII. Weather Record.

I have long contemplated this cbaDgp, as I was convinced that it would be an exceedingly wise one for me, and a profitable one for my customers. The merchant who sells on credit must buy on a credit. He, therefore, is obliged to lose the discount that cash buyers get? a most important consideration in these days of small profits. He cannot pick up special bargains that are often thrown on the market by manufacturers who are bard prossed and must sacrifice their goods to get money. In a credit business there are sure to be many losses by bad debts. There is also a large amount of extra book-keep ing reoeaaary which is expensive.
