was so insistent and was so auxiou to reach his son's home, that whei the train reached Graoiteville th, conductor told the station agent t, see that the old gentleman reache< the home of Judge Cloy. The agent escorted the old mal to the home of Judge Cloy an there his identity was establishe and it was proven beyond a douL that the ancient stranger was Jaco Wesley Cloy, the father of the bot orable Squire of Graniteville. When Jacob Cloy left his famil: and home his son was only 27 day old. He held the position of ovej seer on the estate of Frank Pose and was the staunch friend of th son, Martin ~Posey. When th young wife was missed Cloy joine with the others in the search fc the body and was one of the part who found it. As said before su picionpointed to the husband the murdered woman as the guilt party and the evidence of Jaco Cloy was considered a strong poit in the case of the prosecutioi Finally the (lay of the trial can and the court room was crowde( Every one was waiting to hear wli Jacob Cloy had to say but when i name was called he did not answei He was searched for at his homi but although the prisoner wE hanged it was not the Lvidence his friend Cloy which sent him t the gallows. ' At first it was whispered that at other murder was committed in o der to cover the others but after while a great many people becan convinced that Cloy had left rath< than testify against his frien Now, after fifty-four years this ide is confirmed, but still not one wox will the venerable Jacob Cloy utt< in relation to the murder. If 1 knows anything at all about it I keeps it to himself and rightly < wrongly, lie is still true to the frier of his youth. When asked why I left his home and deserted his your wife and infant son, he replie "that is too long past to talk abol now." Although 83 years of age A Cloy is quite active and is remar) ably bright and quick in though He has traveled over the greati part of the United States and Cana( and has several times owned consi4 erable money. He has been ei gaged in the live stock business at his ventures in this line put him r in the world several times. Durir the war he served through the i0m *years' struggle as a scout. H conversationi about his experienc< after he left his home is entertail ing, his interesting stories beit full of wit and hunnor.

Well has tli mother wrought, as Jacob Clo above all men should be able to ai preciate. Mrs Cloy died in 188< never having heard from her truaij husband. Onice before had Judge Cloy m<t his father. During the latter pam of the civil wvar, when Judge Clo was a student at the Arsenal in Cc lumbia. The Confederacy neede mcin and the boys of the South ani sweredl the call and became men The boys of the Arsenal and th Citadel Academy, at Charleston. were mnusteredl into one compan and sent to camp at Spartanburg They were never ordered to thi front, as, soon after this, Lee suir rendered at Appomattox and the 'oung soldiers were disbanded. While traveling - to his home ii lgefield District, now a part o ~keni county, the youthful soldier ni R. Cloy, meLt a man in charg< a drove of stock that was b)eing yen throtgh the country. Th 5man and the *y soldier struck up i a conversation and when the young !man told his name the man began : to question him very closely. They I were together for nearly an hour and as the man was about to depart 3 he told the youthful Confederate I that lie was his father. The youth I was incredulous and the man rode t on without giving any further in b formation. When Young Cloy reached home he recited the occur rence to his mother. From the de scription given of the man and the s subjects on which he asked ques tions Mrs. Cloy was positive that y the drover who encountered her e son, was her husband. e Nothing more was heard of the d husband and father until one day r about two years ago, Judge Cloy y met a brother of his father in Au - gusta, who told him his parent was >f still living. Of this Judge Cloy y was incredulous, and would not b even bother to write to the address it given. However the arrival of the . ancient passenger of the midnight e train at Graniteville the other night . lias settled the question. it The story of Jacob Cloy is, in s deed, interesting. If he ever tells - the facts of the Posey murder it will , not change the status of a case s which at the time of its trial excited )f much more than a passing interest. 0 As said before, this horrible story has lain forgotten by many and un - known by many more, for nearly a r- half century. The reason why its a history is revived now is because e the arrival of-the "prodigal father" ,r at Graniteville demands the facts I. as given. Therefore after this pass a ing glanc- at the part that should d be forgotten let us once more for !r get. ie e Attack. >r "I had a severe bilious attack and felt like my head was about to burst open when I got hold of a free sample e of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

I announce to the world that I have an absolute cure for drinkenness in White Ribbon Remedy, based on thous ands of cures made of the most obsti nate eases. In a majority of cases White Ribbon Remedy was given see retly in tea, coffee or food, without the patient's knowledge. By degrees the patient gets a distaste for intoxicants and finally leaves off altogether. It is wonderful. Many a hard drinker has thus been reclaimed and restored to his family and friends. White Ribbon Remedy is easily given by following the simple lirections. It is tasteless, odorless, and perfectly safe to give or take. White Ribbon Remedy will cure or destroy the discascul appetite for all alcoholic drinks, whether the patient is a confirmed inebriate, a "tippler," so cial drinker or drunkard. Impossible for any one to have anl appetite for al coholic li<quors after using White Rib bon Remedy. It restores a victim to normal health, giving him or her steady nerves, and a determinetion to resist temptation. Builds ill) the will power.
