Fisher Meets Tragic Death it A sad and shocking accident happened on the Pickens railroad near the Alice is; Cotton Mill last Friday and resulted in . i the death of Capt. R. A. Fisher, who y had been section foreman for the road , for the past seventeen years. Mr. Fisher with several others were riding d on a small gasoline motor car when a r large jack lever fell from the car in front and upset it, throwing him off and overturning the car on him. No one d else was hurt. The injured man was rushed to Easley, where all possible medical attention was given him and t the Greenville hospital ambulance was phoned for to come and take him to the hospital. lie was placed in the ambu lance but died on the way to Greenville between two and three o'clock. lieI had been injured on the head and back and probably internally. The accidentf occurred about 10.50 o'clock. Mr. Fisher was born at Abbeville, July 5, 18(33, and came to Pickens sev enteen years ago to take the place as I section foreman of the Pickens railroad. lie was a quiet and modest man who attended strictly to his own affairs and it is doubtful if he had an enemy in the world. Many are the hearts 'that are sad because of his tragic death. He was never married, but is survived by his aged mother, Mrs. Sarah Fisher, of P'ickens, two sisters, Mrs. I). 8. Finney of Pickens, and Mrs. J. E. Tollhson ofI Laurens, and two brothers, W. B. and 'T. F. Fisher of Anderson. The funeral service was held in the Pickens Methodist church and conducted 1 by Rev. E. '1'. IIodges. Mr. Fisher was a member of the Woodmen of the World and he was buried in the Pickens j cemetery with the honors of that order. ii 'he pall bearers were Messr.. C. L. Cureton, II. A. Nealy, F. (. Ailgood, F. R. Moon, \V. C. lendricks, J. A. Pickle. A dispatch from Columbia says the railroad commission has ordered a meet ig to he held at Pickens on August 9 upon a petition for the establishment of I telegraph and express service here. If i our people really want this service they should be prepared for this meeting and ready to furnish any information they may be called upon for. Get busy and let's have that express ofice, anyway.

A Mixed Up Affair )ear Mr. Editor; If you publish this letter you head it "A Mixed Up Affair." I notice an article in your paper that has been running for some time headed "Go to Church.'' All right; that's food. Now I have a few questions to nsk concerning going to church. 1. What church does the writer want ne to go to? l it the Baptist. Metho list, Wesleyan Methodist, Presbyterian, seventh Day Adventist, or the Roman atholic church that our editor an nounced the dedication of some few eeks ago at Walhalla? 2. 'Then what must. I go for? To hear he preacher preach raise more food - tud's, buy liberty bonds, Prepare to go :) France to kill a (e'rran or give honey to send the gospel to China where he People are dying and going to hell n ignorance? come on with your rat-killing. !'hose juestions are fair and honest. Now someone ;answer them. To give you a little idea of what I am striking at I will give you a little scripture: Matthew 23:1.1 and 21: \Voe unto you scribes and p'harise.s, hypocrites, for ye devour widow,' houses and for a pretense make long Prayers; therefore, ye shall receive the greater damnation. 2 1.
