Simnple, but impressive, funeral se vices were held at the Methodist chur< onday afternoon, after which all thi was mettal of this grand old mother I Israel was tenderly conveyed to or Silent City, where she now rests peace. Rev. L. E. Wiggins conducte the serwilces. -Mrs. Ashmore was born in Anderso county 72 years ago and was a daughte of Elias Elrod. In 1869 she was marrie to W. H Ashmore dnd he, with si: children survive. The children are Mrs. D. J. Carter, of Chicago; S. J Ashmore, of Witchita Falls, Texas; J R. Ashmore, of Grand Island, Florida Miss Maude Ashmore, of Atlanta; Mrs V. L. Leohr, of Manchester. Ga., 'an Miss Vesta Ashmore, of Pickens. Practically all of her married life sh has lived in Pickens and was one o Pickens' oldest residents. She was in trestiing in conversation and recalle4 as if only yesterday the days of loni ago. Many times the writer has beei i this hospitable home and listened t< her recall the days of old, 'listened t4 her motherly advice, and be cheered b3 her bright, sunny, cheerful disposition and we are saddened to think that thu good-woman has been called away. - Her's is a path marked with deeds o: kindness and cheef. Flowers, no thorns, sunshine, not shadow, did she scatter everywhere. Mrs. Ashmore was an everyday Chris tian. Her life was a blessing and bene. faction to all within the sphere of it influence. She was loved by our people. It was here that the best days of het life were spent and it was her desire that when her last hour had come and the God of eternity called her to her %everlasting rest, that beneath the shady trees of our Silent City on its sloping hillsides, surrounded by all the beauties of nature and by a happy and contented people, should be the eternal aoiding place of all that was mortal of her. Well may her children cherish hei memory as. precious legacy and we fain would say a word of comfort to the stricken ones; we can but let our teari flow gt in sympathy with theirs anc point them to the promise, "At even tide 4t shall be light."

We there , fore ask the supervisor and commission- A erb, by authority~of law vested in tihem, to.have these obstructions removed at once. (See 1912 S. C. Code,. Vol. 1, Sees. 2239, 3240 und 2248.) Third-We ask that the water in the i court house tank be used for sanitary purposes only.

September they have sent to the chaingang 1,092 y days and collected in fines and forfeits Fifth-There are too many accidents ion the public highwayi caused by reek less and fast driving and unlighted autos, so we ask that all the county of ficers see that the people hereafter have some consideration for state. laws in . regard to speeding and driving unlight ed ears at night. Sixth-The county offices have been examined by a committee and they find A everything in good condition. The pre vious grand jury has recommended that the supposed shortage against our for mer treasurer, Mr. H. W. Farr, be cleared, as the past records show there t is no shortage existing.

"A Dangerous, Precedenit The following article, written 45 the editor of the Easley Progress, appeared Be in'that paper last week in answqri to a 19 recent article written by Joel H.'iller B. and published in The Pickens Sentinel tel two weeks ago: M. "The above communication from r.' se< Joel H. Miller appeared in The Pickens A. Sentinel last week. The Progress would dto take no notice of it had he not referred W, to what he says he saw take place at L. Easley on the 12th of thismonth, which me was the day of the second primary. Mr. Sa Miller evidently has not read his bible an profitably else he would have noticed j that there was always a way provided St( for one to escape from the conseqqences Re of what seemed to be inexorable laws. Coi Note what it says about the man slayer I bind the way provided for one who acci- car dentally killed his fellow man. In fact fac the very plan of salvation itself is found- the ed on the principle that in order to es- pre tablish the consequences of sin we must car appeal to the Great Judge through faith, A. and He has our name written in. the offi Book of Life, regardless of all forms of law. "Doubtless the seventeen men who voted at Easley were. good and true citizens of Pickens county, as much so as Mr. Miller or the writer. For some neF reason, probably sickness or absence tl from their homes at the time required Sel for enrollment, they failed to get their fer names on the roll in time for .tha first ed primary. Are they to be deprived. for his this reason, of voting in the second pri- his mary? We say no, and the very fact ag that a way was provided for them, ba shows the wisdom and fairness of the b' primary laws, which is founded on the ane principle that no white citizen of the an State should be deprived of his fran chise. Again, Mr. Miller seems tothink e that all who took advantage of this plan of were anti-Bleasites, when the facts in the case do not warrant any such idea. e We are informed that out!of four names M at Easley mills, who 'got orders,' as he M pe says, from a Circuit Judge, 'which gave Co them the right to vote.' three voted for He Blease. Of the seventeen who voted at H the Easley city box, some were doubt- w less for Blease. The Progress is also in informed that a brother-in-law of Mr. in Miller who was out of the state at the first primary, went to Pickens on the hi 12th and applied for an 'order' atd was hC refused on the ground that it was~then 191 too late, as the books had already been turned over to the managers. This par ty, we understand, intended voting for Hi Manning. ng "Again, Mr. Miller charges in a veil- 'nc ed way, that it was a trick to defeat hat Blease, by rounding up, purchasing, or no intimidating or making drunk, or by ful some other process, some 5,000 people to I who had neglected to register for the lea first primary. If the Manning-ites had one been disposed to purchase votes, they ter would have had to purchase them from the the Blease supporters or have imported pol them from another state. Is it any worse to buy than to sell? The facts' are, this was a fair election; as fair as any that was ever held in the city of Easley. All the reason why any candi date was defeated wvas because- the ing~ majority of the voters (lid not v'ote for ""in them.'' the W. M.
