Fewer Stills in State. Columbia, July 22. ? South Carolina apparently is getting better in the matter of observance of the prohibi tion law, according to Edward A. Mc Dowell, secretary to Governor Mc leod. Complaints received at the office of the Governor he said today are growing {ewer. "When Governor McLeod first came into office," said the secretary, "the mail was almost swamped with complaints regarding illicit stills and bootlegging. We have given atten tion to every complaint that was not signed anonymously, and they have furnished the office with fine leads. Many etills have been Captured and arrests made through the receipt of such letters. But we arc getting fewer now. ' The natural inference is that there are fewer stills."

J Tlmv passed (rum ayiong us on June 80th, at his home, "Millway," near Camden, one of the few remain I ing loyal and soldierly men or tho Confederacy and a true ''gentleman of tho old school." A man so modest in his demeanor, so chivalrous of heart, ho dignified ?>!' bearing, and withal, so gentle and courteous of manners, that in his pissing we may truly say, "we shall not look upon hia like again," Jiorn at the family homo, "Plane Hill," in Kershaw county, he was the son of Alexander Hamilton Boykin, a man whoso high order of 'intelligence and progressive activities loft a mark-* ed impress on the life?of the .commun l ity Ot which ho was an outstanding figure, and of his wifo, Sarah Jones, daughter of Chancellor DeSaussure, the eminent jurist whpse record is so well known in the history of the Bench and Bt.r of South Carolina, and a grand daughter of General Wit* Item R. Davie, of North CaYojina, the prominent patriot and soldier of the Revolution. While still a mere school boy young Boykin heard the call to arms sound | ed through the Soutk and with quick response he answereo the call of his leountry ami though but 16 years of a^e, he offered for service in tho Con federate army and enlisted in Com pany A, Wateree Mounted Rifles, un dfer Dr. Edward M. Boykin, and served on the coast around Charleston for a year, being afterwards transferred to Company K, and served in Greenville, S. C., for seven months, Later he served in the Seventh S. C. Cavalry, Gary's Brigade, and #as courier for CoL A. C. Haskell to* the end of the war, when "Tie took up "?Ke~Wl#nage ment of his own and his mother's plantations. At the close of the war, young, undoteated, in the honored Confederate gray, a perfect horseman, he was then, as to the close of his life, one of the knightliest of men. Mr;, Boykin married very garly in life Elizabeth Richardson, daughter of Mr. Thomas C. Richardson of Claren don county and granddaughter of the first John Peter Richardson. After her death he married Juliania Au gusta Manning, daughter of Cpl. Brown Manning, and granddaughter of the first Governor Richnrtl I Man ning. He is survived by live children, two by fust marriage,' Mrs. William E. Hughes, of Charleston; and Alex ander Hamilton Boykin, of Boykin. By the second marriage Miss Mary Cantey Boykin, E.
