In a disuatch to the press from Helena, Ark. dated 15th inst. we clip the following: James Gilbert, formerly of Breathitt County,Ky., who said he had been a member ot the Hargis feud faction, was fatally wounded in a revolver duel with a bartender here today, but before he died he declared he was the man wh> fircd the shot that killed Governor Wil liam Goebe: at Frankfort in January, 1900, Realizing that the end had come, Gilbertsmiled faintly and after making an attempt to joke about the dying in his boots, de clared that he fired the shot that caused the death of G vernor Goebel. Whether he would have given details of his alleged kill ing of Goebel can never be known, for Gilbert died within an hour after making the state ment. which he repe ted over and over again, with the asser tion that he "could never get over it." Here is proof of the sayinv that murder will out. -Very few. if any, who have stained their hands in their fellow man's blood and endeavored to hide it will go to their graves with the secret in their bosoms. When men face the last foe-death ther want to make right the past, There are many' have ihe same bitter experience and like Gilbert the thing will haunt thenm to their gr-aves and will som: e day say "I can never get over it.'' The Liberty Cotton Mill. The stockholders of this mill held a rueeting at Liberty last Friday at which meeting it was decided to sell the property at public sale on April 15th next. This mill was closed down early last summer and has not been operated since. It is said that the mill has never paid a p~rofit but on the contrary has been operated year after year at a lOSS. The reason for this is not known, some attribute it ft the insufficiency of the plant, some to the grade of goods man ufactured, and others to the heavy operating expenses. Cer* tain it is that it has not been profitable and many, if not all, the original stockholders lost heavily. What the future of the mill wvill be has not been given out, if dletermnined. It it is probable, however, that after the sale the company wvillI be reo;rganfized or a new company formed and it wvill be opera ted. A Forme~r Pickens Man Writes. Please allow me space in your paper to let the people of my na tive home land know that I am still up in The Land of the Sky. I can do about as much wvork as I ever could. Can still sing~ tenor for the Sunday school and church services, and have not missed a Sunday all this snowy weather. So that is good for a 62 years young. I am still tight ing the world, the flesh and the devil, and its a hard fight over here with a devided people in many- ways. There are many who do not like to be rebuked for using to bacco and str-ong drink and cof fee. but we are looking for a day when total abstinence will Prevail, and a great r-eformation will take plac-e and when men will votLe as they pray.

SAVANNAH, GA. ens Drug Co. miond to be used as 'heef cattle. Some time ago Mr. Lathem built a large modern barn on his farm for the purpose of raising beef cattle for the various markets. This is his first shipment and it is one to be proud of. They are beautiful and meet the demands of the purchasers but will sur pass those of other markets. The above was taken from the Anderson Daily Mail and was written by its correspondent at Easley. Mr. J. T. Lathem is well known in this county. He is a leader in enterprises for the best interest and development of the county. A public spirited man and one whose good judge ment and examples might be followed by many others with profit. As has often been remarked in these colunis this is a corn, cattle and hog county, and it is surprising to us that more of our prominent farmers are not engaged in stock raising. We have made no inquiry but believe upon investigation it will be found tkat themanure from the cattle will pay for theii feed. This can be applied to the land and in just a few years will more than double in pro ductiveness. 0 Death of W. S. Blaokstone. Mr. WV. Silas Blackstone diedi at his home near Holly Springs chuirch on the -17th inst. and his: remains were interred in the cemetery of this church the af ternoon of the same day, He1 was about 65 years old and had been in bad health for so~me ,months. He was widely kn~owr in the county, hav'ng for aln: time lived at Pickens and served as deputy sheriff under the late Sheriff Joab Mauldin and also as a court balif. For the~ last ten years or more he has been in charge of the store of Mr. W. R. Price at Holly Springs. In every 1elation of life he was true and faithful and made friends of all with whom he came in contact. He had ro family. Rev. 0. L. DuRant Dead. There are many people in Pickens county who will regret to receive this news, He was known a'nd called here "Judge Durant" and numbered his friends by his acquaintan~ces. He died at Lake City on the night of January 31st at the home of one of his sons. He had retired from active work in the ministry on account of his health some years ago, land for the past year rapidly declined. He was (i8 years old and is sur vived by his wife arnd nine chil dren, four boys and five girls. . Judge Durant first came to this County about 1870 or 1872 as pastor of the Easley and Pickens and others churches, which then constituted his cir cuit. After serving this field awhile he was elected probate judge of this county and served one term. Later he was twice elected to the office of county school commissioner and after retiring from this of fice became assistant county treasurer dmine the terms of Capt. John Hi. Howen and Mr. J. Tyler Hill. He also served a number of years as clerk for the county commissioners. In all these public trusts as well as in his ministerial duties he performed his tasks with fi delity to the people and in the fear of God. He was a man of sterling qualities: simple and unassum ing in his manners, yet earnest, faithful and true to every duty. Truly a good man has gone to his reward.
