Negro Killed at Uovan.
A negro named Elijah Graves was
killed at Go van last Saturday afternoon,
and the coroners jury returned a verdict
to the effect that he came to his death by
a pistol shot wound at the hands of Mr.
J. E. Kennedy. The testimony at the
. coroner's inquest has not yet been filed
, in the clerk of court's office, so we are
not able to present the facts in full but
what we can gather is the following:
Mr. Kennedy's brother had whipped a
negro boy for some meanness, and Satur,
day afternoon he met the boy's sister at
Rowell's mill at Govan. He talked to
her about the matter in a pleasant way,
and told her if the boy would behave him"
* ? - 1*1 l.~ -.11 Tim
sen 111 iuiure 11 wouju ut- an i^m, ??k.
boy's mother came up just then and attempted
to strike him with a stout club
' which she had in her hand. J. E. Kennedy
[ then shoved her out of the door, and immediately
several negro men ran up to
interfere and then the shooting took
place. Mr. Kennedy and his brother
were the only white men present, and
there were a half dozen or more negroes.
Graves was the leader of the crowd, and
1 after he was shot they did not molest the
1 white men further. * Graves was shot
' twice with a pistol, both bullets taking
1 effect in his body. He died almost instantly.
Coroner Besinger held the in
quest Sunday, and a verdict was rendered
; as stated above. We understand there
were about five hundred negroes present
at the inquest, and that they were sullen
and threatening. Some of the leaders
; demanded that negroes be put on the jury,
> and it looked at one time as if there would
i be further trouble.

Sadness in Denmark.
Pexm.vhk, July 2.?The sudden, unex- j
pcctcd death of Mr. L. L. Itiec has east a,
a gloom over this entire section. Sorrowprevails
in every home, even among the
children ; the name of the deceased brings
to their minds the fact that a good, influential
man has passed to a higher realm.
In 1820, just one year prior to the construction
of the old South Carolina Kailway,
the arms of a tender mother enfolded
the babe, who has now reached his
three score years and ten, the mature}
monument of a great period of history,
and in a time of startling awakenings in
every field of progress. He lias lived to
greet a new century, and above all a new
world welcomes him to-day to a home of
larger and sweeter assurances. We feel
sad to realize the change that has taken
place, but the mastery of life and tincrossing
of the River is more than we can
comprehend. The transformation is
something that appeals to our deepest
feeling of sympathy, and in the end. overwhelms
us with awe. We cease to think
of it. but the mystery is still unsolved.
Mail's knowledge ceases to add to his ex
perience anything beyond the fact thai
life is no more. The lifeless body is
lowered into the earth and soon a marble
slab is erected over it. This is the last
homage man is allowed to pay the remains
of the esteemed. The flight of tinspirit,
the soul, opens up to us a new
mystery, and we cease to project, with
the lamentable prayer, "God giveth and
God taketh."
We have paid our last respects to tingreat
character who waiked and talked
with us only a few days ago. lie sleeps,
hidden under the folds of nature's covering,
which when thrown oil', the whole
world will be singing praises to the son
of God. Our noble citizen will join the
mighty chorus and rejoice to meet his
Saviour.
The school days of Mr. Kice were full
of boyish simplicity, but lie found pleasure
in youthful fancies. It was his delight,
in his declining days, to talk about the
playgrounds of years ago. Many of his
schoolmates survive him,' who will ever
bear testimony of his gifted sentiments
and principles of manhood. Two years
were spent at college. Thus equipped, he
entered the arena of life, and a wonderful
success lias been his earthly reward.
His intelligence, solidity of purpose, have
had a powerful influence upon everyone
who has walked the highways of this life
with him. The respect that greeted him
on every occasion Avas the sweetest token
l.:. i 1?/in?l 1
01 gRlllUUlC JUS IJUIlUlVUKUi niun?Mium
give him. None have wished to pluck
from his brow the hard earned laurels of
this period of toil and sacrifice. All is
over now, and the weary head of our departed
brother is peacefully at repose.
Oh, what a sweet rest there must be to
him!
AY e are glad to have recorded in the
memories of his many staunch friends the
wonderful characteristics of the life just
ended. The uuassuming habits, formed
in early life, which added day by day a
greater lustre of honor to his name, are being
reproduced by his intimate friends
and henceforth for many years the deeds
of the worth}' departed life will stand as
models of emanating influence, an approach
to the limit of human attainment.
When the civil war broke out Mr. Rice
was quick to respond to the call of his
Southland. At the battle of First Manassas,
he was wounded and soon returned
to his home on furlough. He did not return
to the battle field,but sent a substitute
to fill the place lie was forced to vacate.
As a citizen, he was always on the side
of right, exerting in a quiet" way, his influence,
that the type of manhood might
become better each day. He was a splendid
example to his fellow-men.
Mr. Rice never married, yet his life was
not void of love and true affection. His
home was a happy one, having with him
his distinguished brother. Dr. W. I). Rice
and his talented family. These added
hours of pleasure, association and moral
aid, to the life of greater companionship.
Dr. Rice survives his brother, though
several years the older. The fraternal exchange
of daily greetings between them
was a part of their coustant devotion.
The deceased had accumulated a considerable
property, the honest savings of
a long and useful life. A will was made
a few weeks ago, but at present its contents
are nnknown to the public. It is
only a reasonable surmise, that the bulk
of the estate falls to I)r. Rice.
It is sad to realize that Uncle Lou is
gone. Where is the man who ventures
to till the vacancy ? His dust is sacred
to us, his noble deeds of kindness will be
clinging to succeeding generations, his
moral character will illumine thousands
i of souls. Uncle Lou is gone, but a model
life, active and wide-awake in purpose,
I survives him. Posterity will ever honor
the name of the true man, who has lived
so loug in our midst.
Rev. J. I. Ayres read the ceremony at
! the grave and spoke briefly, but eloquently
of the life and the many noble deeds
of kindness that have so often fallen from
his hands upon the charitable callings of
his wide association.
In the afternoon of the same day the
community attended the burial of Mrs. E.
0. Riley at the Baptist church. It is not
an ordinary thing for a departed soul to
hav?j so many kind words spoken of it by
an universal public. .Mrs. Riley's life has
been a living lesson of true devotion to
her Master. This people pronounced her
to have been a most amiable. God-fearing
lady. A large gathering of friends were
witnesses of the- la'si moments of friendly
care and on every hamPcouui be heard
strong testimonials of the sterling character
of the deceased. She leaves a large
family of bright children. The father
I went to his eternal rest but a few
months ago. No mother, no father! Home
[ has lost its greatest beauty and sweetest
charm, but God will Wl the vacant seats
and will give comfort to the bleeding
hearts. Life is worth living when we
can leave behind us a name unsullied by
earthly temptations. Great must he the
everlasting reward of this consecrated
life that will ever linger in our memories.
Monday evening Rev. G. Edwin Stokes
was called to the sick bed of his brother,
Congressman Stokes. The message was
urgent and it is to be feared that the
worst is expected.
Rev. J. I. Ayrcs returned from Anderson,
S. C., Monday morning, where lie attended
the funeral of his sister. Mr. Avers
has the sympathy of his many friends.
He was the only member of the family
present at the funeral; others were too
far and widely scattered in various parts
of the United States to reach the sad
scene in any reasonable time. Thedeath
was unexpected, although the duration of
the decline has been known for some
time.
Sadness overwhelms us, but the darkest
hour is the indication that light is Hearing
a dawn. It is so comforting to be
able to submit to the will of the w ise dispensation
of our heavenly Father.

of lagrippe; since then he is almost helpless.
People commenced to gather about
ten o'clock and by twelve o'clock there
was between one hundred and fifty and
two hundred peple, children, grandchildren

of the good rations that were carried, and
there was plenty left to feed the same
crowd again.
