Massey. Mr. Massey and the Confederte Home have been in the ublic prints for some weeks, 'he matter first started with the lleged charge that Major Richrdson was attempting to iniuence the old soldiers to vote or Governor Blease, followed losely by the board suspendng Massey for 30 days on the harge of being disorderly on the (remises. A temporary restrainng order preventing this from >eing carried into effect was granted by Judge Gary on apdication of Attorney John J. JcMahan for Massey. Thereafter Massey again took up his ibode at the home. Then came the charge that Jassey hit one of his comrades, Tiomas Whittle, over the head vith a chair, and the case was onsidered by the board on Jeptember 6th and 7th. At that ime Major Richardson declined o give out anything for publicaion. However, he admitted rriday morning that Massey had >een permanently dismissed from he home. The Raio Came Rather Late. The rains of Friday and Friay night were pretty general ver the township, though there /as no heavy rainfall reported, 'he crops in this vicinity were adly in need of a little moisture nd the rainfall of Friday helped o revive the late gardens and rops considerably. Some of the armers are of the opinion, howver, that the rains came too ate and that the crops will be oor for lack of moisture, due to he previous dry spell of several veeks. The cotton is opening well over he township and many fields ire almost white with the open >olIs. The farmers are pickinghe staple as rapidly as possible, )ut the work was delayed a :ouple of days by Friday's rains. A Day for the Orphans. Saturday, September 28th, will ue work day in South Carolina for the orphanages over the State. Scattered over the State ire several orphanages which ire supported by the various denominations and these have hundreds of children to care for with means which are sometimes limited. The plan of this work day is to have everyone contribute to.one of the orphanages uf his or her denomination the amount earned on this day. All the children are asked to make a special effort to earn something un that day, from a few pennies up, and contribute the same to some orphanage and thus help their feliow children who have no fathers and mothers. These institutions are maintained by voluntary contributions and need all the financial aid anyone is willing to give. While they are more in need of cash, still the officials of the various orphanages are indeed glad to receive barrels of syrup, flour or any other articles of food or 1 i-l 4- V* /vnriAt?ol null. CJOtning wiiitn me ^cuciai public may be charitable enough to contribute. Many barrels of flour, syrup and large quantities of other foods are consumed every year by these institutions and they have either to be contributed or bought. Jack Johnson's Wife Suicides. A news dispatch from Chicago says that on account of being shunned and unhappy because she married a negro, the wife ol Jack Johnson, world's champior heavyweight pugilist, shot herself Wednesday night and died early Thursday morning. She was 31 years of age and a daughter of Mrs. David Terry, ol Brooklyn. When she marriec Johnson, she was the divorcee wife of Clarence Duryear, a wel known New York turfman. Ministered to Jackson's Mother. The following interesting mem- a orial, written many years ago, a has been handed to The Times jj by Mr. T. D. Faulkner, one of 0 Fort Mill's oldest citizens: "Departed this life on the 30th [ of July, 1846, in the Waxhaws ? settlement of Lancaster district, j South Carolina, Mrs. Agnes Bar- ton, in the 89th year of her age. , "The subject of this notice 1 was born in the County of Antrim, Ireland, about 1757. Her ~ father emigrated to America 0 when she was in her 12th year j and settled in the vicinity of the Waxhaws, a few years after which she was married to Mr. n Barton. During the former pe- ^ riod of the Revolution she, with her husband, a carpenter by trade, went to Charleston and settled in the suburbs of that o city. It was during her settle- " ment there that Mrs. Jacks ?n, l mother of the Hero of New Or- c leans, went to relieve the sutler- d ings of the prisoners incarcer- I ated in that city. In consequence 1 of the fatigue and hardships she endured in making the trip from Lancaster to that place, as is i i i - I t supposed, sne was umeu oiviv shortly after her arrival, and, * although a stranger in a strange land; yet in Mrs. Barton's heart she found a welcome and in her ( house a home. Night after night did Mrs. Barton sit by the sick bed of the stranger, ministering ] to her wants and soothing her , sorrows with all the solicitude of I an Irish heart. ' And when the j ? stranger died, Mrs. Barton closed J her eyes, and, although in hum- <] ble circustances in the world, t yet she furnished from her own < wardrobe the clothes in which \ the mother of the Immortal Jack- ? son was committed to the dust, r Her husband, being a carpenter, I furnished the coffin and the two, j with the assistance of perhaps ( a few others, performed the j mournful rite of scripture to the 1 mother of a future president of J this great nation. And although \ there be no rude stone to point the stranger to the hillock where i her ashes rest, she has left to c posterity the example of hei* i deeds of valor and of mercy. These are her monument and their continued remembrance ( shall be the everlasting memorial of her greatness. I "After the close of the war Mrs. Barton returned to the Waxhavvs. Here her husband died, and here she spent forty l years of wi^owhoood, in humble circumstances, beloved by all ' who knew her. Her family all married and left her and for the ] last fifteen years she lived with her son-in-law, Thos. Faulkner, second cousin to Gen. Jackson. "She was regarded by those < who mew her best as eminently < pious; a member of the Assciate j' Reform church. Being too infirm to attend church for some i years previous to her death, she 1 had her pastor to visit and preach to her on birthdays. In the pros- | pect of death she was calm and composed and retained her mental faculties in a remarkable de- 1 gree to the last. Her end was Peace." Note.? Mr. Thos. D. Faulkner of Fort Mill, being a nephew of the Thos. Faulkner spoken of in the above memorial, was therefore a third cousin of President Jackson.
