CATEECHEE LETTER
Sudden Death of Colonel D. K
Norris in Baltimore.
NEW OFFICERS FOR CATEECHEE MILL
General News Notes Paragraphed bi
Our Regular Correspondent.
Having been in ill health foi
about two years and after the very
best medical skill here failed ti
give any relief, Col. D. K. NorriE
left this place on the 14th inst., for
John Hopkins Hospital at Balti.
more for treatment. His many
friends here wore very afnxious for
i change for the btter, but con
trary to their expectations a tolo
grn' was received here on the
2 announcing that he was
wo 1. Immediately his wife and
daughter started from Seneca and
were joined at N )rris by Mr. G. F.
Norris, nephew of Col. Norris, who
proceeded on their way to Balti
more, but in accordance with God's
will the dearly beloved one breathed
his last about 9 p. in. on the day
before they teached there Imme
diately on their arrival the deceased
was prepared for burial and startd
back. The corpse arrived a't Pen,
dleton, . C , on the 26th and the
burial tdok )lace from the Baptist
church at that placo of- which the
deceased wais a member and deacot,
for many years. While, Col. Nor
ris had been in decliing health
for two years, and according to hir
age (58 years), the chances for his
recovery being against him, yet it
was a terriblo shock to his many
friends to hear of his dont-h. 1H
was liked by all who know him,
and we can truthfully say we nevel
heard a mill hand speak aught of
him. He always recognized every
person, it mattered not how poor
they might be, with a polite bow
when he passed them. He0 was 11
true Christian. In his businus
transactions ho was a man of fcw
words, but to the point. Honesty
was one of the principles which h
adored. Col. Norris leaves a wife,
who was Miss Be3e9e Caldwell, of
Abbeville, and threo daughters
Misses Bessie, Virginia and Lillian
Col, Norris was born and raised ir
OdAt-geburg county. When a mrar
boy ho left school at Pendlotor
and joined the army. T joined
(Co. 1?. Second Rtegimnent, S. C. heav~
artillery'. In 1877 ho married and
moved to "Hickory Flat'' in An.
derson county, where lhe accumn.
lated a fortune. Ho resided there
until about three months ago.
when ge sold his real estato and
the larger part of his personal
proporty. It was his intention t<
move to Greenville and go baci
and foath to look after the twc
mills that iho was president of~
(Jol. Norris was Stato Fecnator fron
Anderson county for four years
HeI 'came within a few votes o

always took an active part in what,
ever was to the best interest of hiD
country. Tlhroughl his influenc<
and energy the spindles of tw<
cotton mills are now whirling
namely, the Norris mill, at (Catee.
chee, and the Isaqueena, at Con.
tral. Ho was president of botl:
when he died . Col. Norris wai
one of the trustees of Clemnsor
College. lie was a great friend t<
education and (11( all in his powei
to give the mill children an oppior
tunity of an education. Tlru ly
good man is gone-one his familj
will miss, one the manrufacturing
interests will miss, one the churcd
will niiss and one0 the counity wvil
miss.; We extend the beroave<
family our heart felt sympathy.
The mill and store closed at this
place last Trhursday, the occasior
being in honor of the president
Col. Norris. The storp door wai
draped in mourning and the streeti
had a lonely appearance.
Mr. TI. M. Norris, who has heer
the efficient secretary of the Norrii
mill ever since it first started, hai

Prof. MeD. Weams, teacher of
vocal music, will begin a twelve
nights musical school at this place
on the 30th inst., -end will close
with a musical entertainment oi
Saturday night, February 11th.
Prof. Weams has just returned from
Henderson county, N. C., where
he closed a most successful school
at Beulah Baptist church. Mr.
Weamns thoroughly understands
music and is one among the best
singers in the county.
Manley, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. T. M. Norris, has been very
sick, but is improving at this writ
ing. Dr. Long has been the attend
ing physician.
Dr. Long is one among our best
physicians, and we are sincerely
sorry that he couldn't see it to his
advantage to stay mn Cateechee.
However, wve are glad he is no far
ther off than Liberty and he never
fails to respond to a 'phono mues
sage.
A little girl of Mrs. York's fell
and broke her leg one day last
week. Dr. Justice set the broken
bone and she is getting along as
well as could be expected.
We were very sorry to hear of
Mr. Jako Merck losing his house
and all of its ccijtents by fire one
day last week . We will not give
particulars as that would be intru
ding on the worthy Six Mile cor
respondent.
Well, I guess our law-makers
aro hammering away at something
down at Columbia. Thley can't do
everything at once, but there are
several lame places in a good many
laws that need monding. We will
take the stock law for one: If D's
cow gets ont and eats C's corn up
in the field and C fails to get tliat
cow up before she gets backe in D's
possession C can't get a copper un
a less D is honest enough to pay it.
SSuch should not be the case. The
law ought to be so that that
Icow should stanid good for the
i damage she did whether caught or
not if sufficient proof was made
that she was the cow that did the
damage.
Another weak law is the board
bill lw. That ought. to be aaoon.

ded. A man that will skip his
board bill will steal and you look

Next is th law in regard to con
tracts. It is not as tight as it
should be. A will hire 13, go and
rent a big two-horse crop, buy
from three to four tons of gano,
give a lien aid lay in his su pplies
to mako that crop. B will be short
of clothes, shoes, hat and socks,
consequently A will have to ad
vance a good deal on B in order to
get him ini a respectable garb and
kee p him from freezintg to death.
Well every thing goes on smoothly
until may be A gets his crop
planted and the sun beg inis to beam
down pretty hot then B concludes
as he is pretty well supplied with
clothes "packing sand" and catch,

While woring for the railroad
contractor he boarded us for a time
with Unicle H-i Sawyer, a farmer~
anid the old man turned mec douwn
a lhttle the neatest, and the hard
est, in my experience. UIncle Hi
Sawyer was a long lean Yankee,
homely as a stump fence, with aii
heart as big as an ox. 1Brim full
of fun and bubbling over with wit,
woe to the man who tried his
pranks on the old manii.
Uncle H-iram had three (daugh
ters and twoV( sone-ach i ps from the
old block''-always ready for a
good time, and v'ery fond of the
dar.ce. D~ancing was my besetting~
sin, but an abomination in H i's
eyes and( ho wvould none of it in
his own home.
We moved to a town some ihis
distant and one (lay the contractor
sent mon over the road to soo that
the wvork wasH inl readhiness for the
mspJector, giving me striot orders
to return the same night.
I made good time till t arrived
at the Sawyer home, but I could
not resist the tempta ion to call on
the folks.
The old man was absent, but the
young people urged me to stay ,for
the niigh t, and as an id ucoment
they Gffered to mOvitq in the young
p)eopln for a (lance.
I told them that thti r father
would not allow it, but they said
if I would give up a little swoot
talk I could win him over. So we
referred the subject to the 01(1 lady
who said it would ha all righ t if
we could gain Hiram's consent.
When the old man came homo I
was powerful glad to see him, and
proceeded to talk him to a stand
still, but I mistrust that the old
lady had him Posted. He paidl no
attention to the young folks as
they came in, until a~ young fellow
