lassey Dismissed from Soldiers' Home.
Announcement was made from
Columbia Friday that Sam F.
lassey had been dismissed from
he Confederate home, located
n the outskirts of that city.
!harges of maltreating one of
is comrades, Thomas Whittle,
itting him ovef the head with
chair, resulted in the trial of
eteran Massey by the board
eptember 6th and 7th and the
income is me iinai uisuumui ui
Ir. 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.
