The condition cf the public highways of this coun ty has reachadJUie ears of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General DeOrmw, and he haa written the following letter to Poatmaater 8. J . Leaphart, which will be of interest to patrons of rural routes not only in this county, but throughout the State: Washington, D. 0., July 8, 1906. Ihe Poatmaater, Lexington, S. 0.—Sir: The department has this day called the attention of road officials to bad condition of roads on Routes Nos 1, 2, 8, 4, and 6. Yon will also take up the mat ter with the road officials and patrons interested, and inform them that unless all roadv cover ed by rural delivery from your office are properly tepaired dur ing the present summer season and placed in such condition that uninterrupted service can be rendered throughout the year, the withdrawal of rural delivery • rora neglected roads will very likely follow. Failure to comply with this requirement should be reported under Section 89, “Instructions” in ample time to admit of con sideration of amendments of routes before the beginning of winter. Very respectful), P. N. DeUraw, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General. It will be seen from the above letter that the continuance of free rural delivery depends a great deal upon the condition of the roads over which the carriers travel. It is thought that the roads of this county will receive more attention in the future than they have heretofore received.—News aud Courier. Many hands make light work . —German.

C Young Man Shot By J H Gar risOn Laurrns, Aug- 1—J Fouis Williamson: a prominent young farmer ot York county and son of J L Williamson of the same county, was shot and mortally wounded late last night by J Henry Garrison, | the shooting occurring at the Garrison home at Gray Court, a little town 10 miles west of Laurens. Young Williamson lived three hours after the shooting, being conscious for some time anil realizing that he could not recover. It seems that young Williamson was a visitor at the Garrison home as the guest of Miss Mary Garrison, the accomplished daughter of Mr J H Garrison. Last evening Miss Garrison and her visitor were alone in the family parlor. About 11 o’clock, it appears, Mr Gar rison went on the piazza for water. Observing the young people he concluded from ap pearances that the young man was not acting as he should and bred upon him {with a shotgun. An inquest was held this af ternoon and a verdict in ac cordance with the above facts was returned. Garrison came down and surrendered to the sheriff this morning.

On July 19th, surround ed bv his children at his home 0 near Stokes, Mr L L Hiott passed from time to eternity. He was ill only a few days. All was done for him that medical skill and loving hands could do, but to no avail. He lived to a good old age: he would have been sixty-three on his next birthday. He was a gallant confederate soldier was a member of Captian A L Campbell,s Company B Third South Carolina Caval ry, who rendered valuable service along the coast during the war. For many years he was a member of Zion Baptist church, always a regular at tendant at her services and ever ready to respond to all demands made upon him by his church. Yes, we shall miss him at church—his neigh- lioi s will miss him for his counsels, but above all he will be missed in his home. He leaves behind him an aged and infirm wife to mourn his loss, besides mx sons, three sisters an 1 a host ot relatives and friends to mourn his departure. Oh, how hard it is to part with our loved ones, but what a gaeat consolation to believe that our loss is his eternal gain. 'Ihe funeral services were held Monday evening at five tfclnck in the church. Rev. V L YVroten, his pastor, very feelingly conducted the ser vices, in the presence of a large congregation of relatives and friends, after which the remains w'ere lateen to the church cemetery for interment.
