SYS OF T
RlfltE SPRING LETTEH
On Thursday morning last Mr. J.
W. Nobles accompanied by Mr. J.
i K. 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.

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.

On Monday the house ways and

tax levy is cut to 5 mills, as against
the 5 1-2 mill state tax last year.
