The automobile will be sold in Easley to the highest bidder. Furman Holder of Pickens was driv ing the car at the time of the arrest and has come in for a great deal of un deserved notoriety on account of it, and he wants some correction made about it. It 'Was published broadcast that he was arrested, locked up and would be tried in two courts on account of it,' when as a matter of fact he was never locked up and has not and will not be tried in connection with this unfortun ate affair. At Doctor Flowers' trial the doctor swore that Mr. Holder was dri ving the car for him because he <Dr. Flowers) was intoxicated and unable to drive, and that Mr. Holder did noteven know the whiskey was in the car. Monday Dr. Flowers made a trip above Pidkens to see some sick horses and on his way back to Easley he stopped at J. D. Holder's to see a hqrse which he Lhad 'been treating for -Mr. Holder. See ing the doctor's condition 'and fearing that he would be unable to get safely home by himself Mr. Holder telephoned his son Furman to come over and drive the doctor to his home in Easley.

Harvey Alonzo Richey died at his home in Pickens Friday morning at1.80 o'clock, aged 68 years. His health had been failing for about a year and he continually grew weaker. His death was not unexpected. The death of Mr. Richey caused sad ness over the entire community. He was probably the best known man and knew intimately more people than any other man in Pickens county, and all who knew him were his friends. It will be a long time before the people of Pick ens become accustomed to his absence. Mr Richey was born November 15, 1848, in the upper part of Anderson county. When he- first left. home he went to Gaineville, Ga., where he en gaged in the mercantile business, and there married Miss Belle Williams in 1869. , He later returned to Easley and was employed in the store of Tom W. Russell. He with A. G. Wyatt and W. J. Roark .later acquired this business. In 1884 he was elected sheriff of Pick ens county and moved to Pickens. His record as sheriff was splendid and he served two terms, being succeeded by J. H. G. McDaniel. In 1896 he bought the assigned stock of goods of Suther land & Griffin and again entered the mercantile business and continued in business at the same stand until the time of his death. He ws successful in his business ventures and accumulat ed much property. In early life he join ed the Fairview Protestant Methodist church and remained a member of that church until his death. He was con verted under the preaching of the fam ous Caleb Smith, He was married by the celebrated Preacher Burdine. Mr. Richey was a man oui of the or dinary. He was a man of excellent habits, fine character, extremely honest in 411 dealings, and of sturdy constitu tion, and he continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till long past the age when men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of the workers. He bore adversity bravely and enjoyed prosper ity quietly. He had filled th.e various positions of life, as son, husband, fath er, brother, friend and public officer, and filled them well. Who can do more? Mr. Richey is survived by his wife and eight children, as follows: Mrs. Flora Lathem Arnett, of North Carolina; Mrs. Dora Thompson, Mrs. Nora La Boon, Mrs. Olga Goodwin and J. T. Richey, of Pickens; Mrs. Cora Martin, of Anderson; Mrs. Ola McKagan, of Greenville, and Mrs. Sadie Williams, of San Antonio,, Texas.

The active pall -bearers were his grandsons, Willie, Homner and Toomer Thompson, Harry LaBoon Richard Mar tin and Aif W. Tfanner. Would that we could express our feel ings over the departure of this friend, but our pen is far too feeble. To the bereaveq ones wve extendl sincere sym pathy and point to them the wvay he al ways bore his sorrows.

She wA6 an every-day christian. The beautifyhig. influence of a pure religion were spread over a life and character as spotess' and charming as was ever possessed by any of the noble women'who have died during the ages that have passed. As such a life was a blessing arid benedje-, tion to all within the sphere of its influ ence, so is the death of sucha one E public misfortune, as well a:s irreparable loss to the home circle made desolate by her departure. It is difficult to pay 5' a tribute to the memory of so noble a woman-one whose every-day life was embellished by the most charming and lovable attributes of her sex. A per feet lady at all times under all circum stances, she seemed born to inspire the love and respect of all who were so fortunate as to be acquainted with her. Besides her husband, Samuel M.

Deep is the gloom among those who knew this good woman, who has left a place which cannot be filled. After a long, busy and useful life she died as she had lived-honored, loved and trusted. She reared her own monument while she lived in the hearts of all who knew her. Mrs. Steele is survived by her devot ed husband and five sons, as follows: J. E. M., C. M. and .J. F.
