V V mm EHRHARDT HAPPENINGS it. More About Death of C Ehr- hardt- New Firm Organized- , Cotton Market. Ehrhardt. Sept. 21.-Mr. Dlitnr. your writer did not feel like givinK’ you any of the local dots last week from this place, as the founder and father of our little town lay a corpse in our midst from Sunday mornirg about ten o’clock until Monday after noon, when he was placed to rest in a new cemetery, one of his last pro jects for the town and surrounding community. He way 75 years and nine months old when he died, and was conscious up to the last minute of his life. Was standing up inTiis bedroom talking and fell dead in his youngest son’s arms, who happened to be the pnly person in the room with him at the time. He was aware of his condition, but di<£not expect to pass off soon. Was expecting his daughter to come on Sunday, the 13th, just before his death, and think he was looking out of the door (which had a glass in the upper portion) to see if he could any trace of them coming. He mapped out what he wanted his children to do, and what portion of the property was to go to each one, and then his wishes as to his business for the public—how and who was to carry it on, so as not to discontinue it or cause the pulic to be disapoint- ed by his death. He left an aged wife, two years older than himself, three sons, and one daughter, with several grand children and two great grand chil dren to mourn for him and see that his memory is perpetuated. His friends were numerous, as was shown by the attendance at his funeral, which was conducted by his pastor in the Ehrhardt Lutheran church—a church that he practically built and planned and gave to the small con gregation who worship in it. Thus one of our most influential busaines men passed away, leaving a gap to be filled by a younger man. One hundred and one bales of cot ton were marketed here on Saturday at 9 1-16 cents average. Our graded school will open here on Monday, the 28th instant, with Prof. William Fulton Hiers as princi pal and Miss L. F. Epps as assistant Our town should pay more attention to its school, as a good school is es sential to the growth of any town. The town council received their guard house on Saturday morning. Our town council is busy making im provements and working up the streets of our town. Let the good work go on, as lots of it is still need- ad.

Rev* Smith Resigns From The Baptist Church It was with a feeling of surprise and genuine regret that his congre gation heard the pastor. Rev. W. R. Smith tender his resignation un last Sunday. Rev. Smith has beer here for five years and his earnest work has endeared him to his congrega tion, but he felt thkt a change would be beneficial. His plans for the future are not yet formed. A pastorate has been formed of the Baptist churches at Smoaks, Carte’s Ford, Hunter’s Chapel and St. John^ Monday. Mr Smith received the call from that ^charge but he has not decided whether to accept or not.—Branchville Journal. HEALTH _ INSURANCE The mu who tasures his Ms Is wise for his family.

The same may be said of pastries and breads, and the difficulty, oftimes experienced in getting a good, pure article of olive oil for table use, is entirely overcome, in buying cotton oil of home manufacture, without adultera tion, fresh and sweet which is not only as good, but better thau olive oil. Few housekeepers who have not experienced the trouble of getting good |liird, even pure butter is not always furnished by the grocery man; and in the choice between poYe oil and im pure butter, bad lard and good cotton oil, it would seem that up housekeeper would hesitate to chooae the oil.

W Cost of Cotton Oil Compared With Butter, Etc. Dr Birrow, the South’s noted chemist, says: “Many of ue are often compell ed to consider the question of food from anothei standpoint. We must consider the size of our pocket books, and again does cot ton seed oil stand out triumphant POOR ECONOMY The expert who was employed by the grand jury made his report to the Ourt last week and there seems to Ik* a disposition lb pigeon hole the same. While there is a very general enquiry for it yet the authorities have not ordered it to bo made pub lic, Except scarcity of money in the treasury is urged as a reason for not giving the public the benefit of over all competing materials, ^e knowledge nr the facts of that W’ith butter at 30 cents a pound,' investigation we have heard no and olive oil at $2.60 per gallon, rt,aiion and cotton seeil oil at 50 cents per gallon, or 6 2-3 cen*.« a pound we find that the price of one pound of cotton seed oil will only pay tor but two-thirds of a pound of lard, about one-fifth of a pound of butter, and only about one-tifth of a pound or one-for tieth part of a gallon of pore olive oil, and frequently the pure olive oil nr ay be nothing more or less than a high grade of cotton seed oil bearing a fictitious label. “It follows, then, that we have in cotton seed oil not only the purest, most nutritious, nour ishing palatable and strengthen ing fat we can obtain, but also far the cheapest of any similar material.” Rum Gully Rumblings Ruffin, Sep. 24,—Special: Not having seen any news from this section lately, I thought 1 would write a few notes.

Anderson, September 25:—Eliza beth Moats, colored, in the Circuit Court today pleaded guiHy to the charge of murder and threw herself on the mercy of the Court. She fed rough on rats to her husband, Louis Moats, about two we sirs ago. The Moats lived on Mr LW Harris’s plpee, in Williaasston Township. Mr Harris wss the leading vitosas for the State, and he, in conference with Martin A Earl, attorneys for the defendant, declared he would circulate a petition for her perdon ar serving three or four yeers, provided she would enter e pleeof guilty.

Killings Among Negoes The Branchville Journal say’s: "One would think Brachville was located in the wild and woolly west from the number of killings we are recording this week. One a day is a pretty good record for even a dis pensary town. Still whiskey did not cause either of these." One thing in connection with these kill ings that should not be lost sight of is the fact that all parties connected with them were negroes and of course, the white people of Branch ville and vicnity are in ho wise re sponsible for them. The assassina tion of young Reeves took place some six miles from Branchville, and Solicitor Boggs agreed to the pica. Judge Devore instructed the jury to find a verdict to conform to the plea and the woman eras sentenced to life impriMxunent. From the New York Press. If a girl has a figure like a knife ker idea is that she is grace fully sKm. The lees a man undestands what he’s voting for the more excited he gets over the election. A greet pride to a woman is how she knows other people would envy her than if they would admit it.

If the grand jury was considering the matter of economy it should not eave ordered the investigation but since the investigation has been made we think the expert should be paid a fair sum for his work. ^ We have not seen the report of the expert but we assume that there is nothing in the report that would justify the officers in placing it away where the citizens may not see it. When there is a bridge down, there is a public demand for its rebuilding, but nobody expects a builder to replace it without being paid for it. In like manner, if the county has any printing to do which the inter ests of the county demands should be done; no reasonable man Expects the printer to do the work witeout pay. But whether it is kept from the eye of the public for economic or other reasons this newspaper does not propose to work without pay, especially when it is possible that the officers may not desire the pub lication of the experts redorts. We are not informed if there are other than economic reasons for not pay ing either the expert or the printer but we presume that there is noth ing in the report which should be concealed from the people. Of thia the grand jury and the officers and not we are the judges. To conceal the report is unfair to the officers themselves. As a rule it is not how ever, safe for public officers to con ceal anything.—The Abbeville Press and Banner. voiR’i m Walter boro Women are Flad- lug Relief at Laat.
