Must Improve Public Roads.
ijexington, July 16:—That
the citizens of l^xinton Ocnoty
fail to appreciate the necessity
of keeping the public highways
in at least a passable condition,
is apparent to all, anti has been
the chief topic of discussion
among the virions cauiidater,
who have to cover every section
of the county in order to meet
the voters. 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.

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.

Death of L L Hiott.
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.
We extend our sympathy and
prayers to the family.
