A frave Officer Dead. Poor Saw Tobias is dead, the victim of a cold-looded murd:r, at the hands of a murderous band of outlaws, whom we be lieve ;ire beyond the pale of the law's pro tection and need not expect to be taken alive. Last Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clockI Constable Sam T. Tobias breathed his last, and with that last breath went out the life of as brave and daring a n an as ever - dertook to execute the law's mandate. be deceased was 46 years of age and leaves a wife and four children, the eldest of whom is the wife of Clerk of Court J. H. Tiu nmons. There is a grown single daughter and two small children. The family sup port was taken. The funeral took place Sunday morning at Oak Grove church, and it was attended by an immense throng of sorrowing rela tives and friends; among the latter were o:cials and professional men, all of whom ad a hiah regard for the deceased. It was a sad, sad funeral. Rev. P. . Vells con ducted the service, an.1 when the body was tken from the church and the coffin open ed at the grave many stout hearts gave way, and from the eyes of strong men aine tears. It was one of the saddest sights the writer has ever beheld. 'The old mother, bent with the age of three score and ten years, came and knelt down and ooked into the face of her beloved son, and hoked w'ith grief, the poor old soul could not tind relief in tears. The wife whose eart was being eaten out with grief,look ed for the last time upon the lace of the man she promised at the altar to obey and onor, the father of her children, the prop to her life; the children with their laist farewell looked upon "papa's" face. The riends of his boyhood, his business a'nd social associates, all looked upon bin :or the last time on this earth, and then the coffin wxas lowered into the grave and the last resting place of a brave and true man was covered with fiowers. Was this an unusual assemblage to pay the last tribute of respect to neighbor and riend? Yes; there was not a man in that vast assemblage who did not have a feeling to avenge the death of Sam Tobias, and his death will be avenged. Fortunately we ave a law-abiding and just community;4 there is no disposition to wvreak vengeance upon innocent people as has been under similar circumstances,done in other States.4 The tpeople want Tobias' murderers, and they alone shall suffer the penalty.for their4 oardlv crime. Samue TC. Lobias came from a family noted for honest an d brave men. His father sv one of seven brothers that went into the war andi their names are linked with the brauvest of soldiers. The deceased was t quiet and peaceable citizen.

In almost every county in the State the sons of veterans have organized , camp to perpetuate the memories -)f their fathers who fought for their ountry in the war for Southern in dependence. We should have done 3o long ago, but inasmuch as we have not, it is not yet too late, and we call upon every young man in the county >ver 16 years of age whose father or zrandfather served in the war until its close or was honorably transfer red or discharged, or was killed, to meet in the court house at Manning an Thursday, the 14th day of Sep tember, at 11 o'clock, for the purpose :>f forming a camp of Sons of Confed rate Veterans. This includes all ons or grandsons of those who were in the Confederate service at the -lose of the war, either in infantry, :avalry or the navy. It is only proper that we should orm this organization. It will not be many years before those who did 4ervice in that great struggle, one of the greatest that was ever enacted in the history of wars, will have passed iway, and we as their descendants hould keep bright the memories of their noble services by forming an >rganization which should last and be handed down to coming genera tions. That fraternal feeling which as felt by our fathers in the great truggle should be none the 'less felt by us as their descendants, and let s show our feeling by perpetuating ,he memories of a noble cause. We iope to have several addresses from )rominent Confederates on that day, and all old Veterans are cordially in ited to meet with us. Let every son or grandson of a Con ederate Veteran in Clarendon coun y over 16 years old meet in the court ouse on Thursday, September 14th, ind let us have a good organization. C. A. RIDGILL, A. J.
