End of a Long Life Came on His Enoree Plantation Yesterday-Fun eral in Columbia This Afternoon. Col. Ellison S. Keitt died Thursday morning at 6.45 o'clock at his home on -his Enoree plantation, on the Broad river side of Newberry county. He had been in- failing health for a long time, and, while his death was not un expected, it is none the less sad. Col. Keitt was born in Orangeburg county on July 3, 1831, and he would, therefore, 'have reached his four-score years if 'he had lived until July of this year. Col. Keitt married a Miss Wadlington, daughiter of Col. Thos. B. Wadlington, one of the wealthiest planters of this county before the war. Mrs. Kei'tit died in 1862, while Col Keitt and 'his wife w?ere residents of Richland county, near Columbia. During the War Between the Sec tions, Col. Keitt commanded Company M, Mounte! Rifles, 20th regiment, S. C. V. e'pr the war he moved to Newberr%.,,county, and lived on his plantation, which is known far and wide as the Enoree plantation. Col. Keitt took an active interest in public affairs, and was a. close stud eat of political history, and was prob ably one of the best informed men of his day. He represented Newberry county in the legislature 1864-1866, along with such men as Gen. A. C. Garlington and Major C. H. Suber. He was probably one of the most eloquent stump speakers on political questions that this tate has produced, and his services were freqiently in demand in national campaigns. He spoke throughout the North,and East dur ing -the first campaign that Grover Cleveland made' for the presideney, and other national , campaigns prior to and after that time. He was also a liberal contributor to the press of the country on politicall questions, but principally on the financial question. For many years he has lived quiet ly on his Enoree plantation, devoting his .time and energi s to the manage ment of his large farming interests. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. L. P. Miller, who in riecent years has made her hone with him, and two sons, Mr. Jos. L. Keitt, .a s'uccessful farner of this county, and Prof. Thos. W. Keitt, of Clemson college. Anoth er son, ,a young physician of great promise, died many years ago in bis early manhood.$ The funeral services *wi'll be con Eucted Friday afternoon in St. Peter's atholic church, in Columbia, by Fath er Hagerty, and interment will be in he cemetery o~f this church, along side his wife. The remains will be -talen to Co umbia on the Southern 'at 11.51 a. mn., rriving in Columbia at 1.35 p. in., and he funeral wiNl take place immediate y upon the a-rrival of the train.

Committee of Council Awards Con tract and New Suits For Officers Are Expected Soon. The committiee of city council ap ointed to secure uniforms for the ~ity police officers 'have awarded the ~ontract, after' securing competitive ids, to Mr. I. L. Blaustein, at a cost f $18 each. Alderman Ea-rhaardt, for the committlee, submitted the report f the committee at the meeting of ounil on Tuesday night. The committee was, instructed to ecure hats at a cost of not over $3.50 ach. It 'was 'urged -that better hats1 hould 'be secured, bhothi from the tandpoint of looks and of service. ALderman Lominiack said he had never~ n his slife worn a 'hat 'that cost over p3.50, and he thought this was enough o pay. His opinion prevailed, and the ommittee must act accordingly. Arrested for Assault at Chappells. A reward of $25.00 was offered last veek by W. R. Smith, intendant of [he town of Chappells, Newberry ounty, for Tom Boston, colored, on [he charge of assault and batte.ry. Mr. S. WV. Lowe located Boston last saturday in Waterroo township, ar rested him and brought him -here and1 lodged hinm in the calaboose.

"moonshine" court on Saturday night, who was sentence:d to pay a fine of $100 or to serve sixty days in two cases of violating the city's liquor or dinances, was released from the town's custody upon the payment ofl $75, the fine having been raduced byI Mayor Langford at the urgent solici tation of Mr. Jno. C. Hipp, for whom Gilder is working, on condition thalt Mr. Hipp take him out of town im mediately, and was immediately re arrested on a warrant sworn out by State Constable T. P. Adams charging him with the offence under the State statute, holding him for trial by the circuit court. Mayor Langford at the meeting of council on Tuesday night, brought the matter to the attention of council with the statement that Mr. Hipp wanted his $75 returned. Council took no action, holding that the police docket was a matter entirely with the mayor. Gilder bas been before the mayor charged with viqlating the dispensary law on a number of occasions in the past several yes,rs, and has become notorious, in this respect.- His usual course has been to give bond and appeal to the circuit court. When he was arrested on Saturday. night by the police officers and convicted by the mayorfi Constable Adams expected him to take this action, and he swore out a warrant, and bad Chief Biehop appointed as constable to serve it as soon as Gilder should be released from the custody under bond. Mayor Langford stated to council that Mr. Hipp bad tried to get him to reduce the fine to $50, which he re fused to do, but had told .Mr. Hipp he would reduce it to $75 on condition he should take Gilder out of town immediately. Mr. Hipp paid the $75. Chief Bishop released the -negro from the city's cusody and rearrested him under the other warrant. Of course, should Mr. H-ipp receive his $75 back, it would amount to re lieving Gilder altoegether of the pun ishment to 'which he was sentenced by the city. Had Gilder served his time under the citl's senkjence hie would still have been subject to ans wer to the charge in the circ,uit; courts. r. West Buys Mr. Jones' Residence. Mr. A. C. Jones, on Tuesday, sold ahs 'handsome home in Calhoun street to Mr. J. H. West at $8,500 cash.
