ly representative in character.
People were present from every (
section of the State, embracing
men and women from every denomination
of Christians, and
from every walk of life, but it
was especially notable from the
fact that so many elderly men ,
were present?men who were
linked to the deceased by ties of '
love and friendship lasting over !
a large part of his life.

tor was carried to his Fort Mill

lay in state until after the;

consisted of 1,000 people,
each of whom knew and loved

to the cemetery, where the last
sad rites were held over the body.

Georgia is Now "Dry."
With the advent of the newyear
the law preventing the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating
liquors passed by the last session
of the legislature became effective,
making Georgia the first
Southern State to be placed in
the prohibition column. The lawis
very drastic in its prohibition
and prevents the keeping or giving
away of liquors in public
places and imposes a tax of $500
on clubs whose members are allowed
to keep drinks of an intoxicating
nature in their individual
lockers.
After being out more than 48
hours the jury in the case of;
Caleb Powers, tried at Georgetown.
Ky., on a charge of complicity

Intake on any outside loans, preferring to lend to our custom-4*
i^crs in order that they might handle their legitimate businesses
and hold their cotton for a higher price, and let them havef ?
