Tiinmerman left for Columbia to undergo the painful and dangerous removal of a cancer on his head. The operrtion was skilfully performed on Friday from the effect of which he never rallied, quietly and painlessly passing beyond Saturday morning in his 78th year. An aged veteran he goes to join the ranks over there. Just recently was he given the cross of honor by the Kidge Spring chapter of the U. D. C. For long years he was enlisted beneath the banner of his Savior and gladly the cross laid down for glorious crown. Interment occurred on Sunday morning in Ridge Spring cemetery. | The Methodist Episcopal Confcr| ence Columbia District, for the consideration of Layman's Mission1 ary Movement convened in the I Methodist church here today- Dr. !

JOKE? ; gov. smith or Georgia said to have been ma) e biblculuusby sou hi carolina fugitive. Saluda. Feb. 8.?Deputy Sheriff Padget, who obtained requisition pa- I pers from Gov. Ansel on Friday and went to Atlanta for "Muss" Deloach, who had been arrested in that city and was being held at the request of Sheriff Sample, returned here Sunclay. but without his prisoner. Deloach is now in jail ir. the city of Augusta, the governor of Georgia, in view of the statement made by Deloach. as reported in 'he Augusta Chronicle, and the Atlanta papers, refusing to honor the requisition to the extent of allowing him to be brought back to South Carolina to De tnea i or assault ana uattery with intent to kill sonic 10 years ago. The joke that Deloai h has per- i petrated on Gov. Hoke Smith and the hero which he has made of himself in the eyes of some of the newspaper men ol Georgia as gathered from some of the papers of that State is intensely amusing to the 1 people of Saluda county, who know ; Deloach so well and who are familiar with the details of the shooting ! by him of William Gillion and T. A. Jones, for which offense he left this State and succeeded in keeping his whereabouts so well concealed until ; a few days ago. ( There would be no more danger , attending the return of Deloach to Saluda county, so far as personal 1 injury is concerned, than would at- 1 tend a visit of the Georgia governor, i whom Deloach has made the "butt- ( end" of a huge joke. ? - -- m* - WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSION.
