Nothing could be fa
Tiie community was immeasurably
shocked yesterday about half past
eleven o’clock as the sud intelligence
was passed from one to another tlmt
‘‘Doc” Spencer had been killed. It
was difficult to realize the awful
truth. On every hand could be
heard the expression of genuine re
gret because of the tragedy. "Doc”
Spencer was a man who had many
friends and few, if any, enemies.
The story of his fate is short and
simple and tan be told iu a few brief
sentences. As gathered from eye
witnesses it is about us follows:
Mr. Spencer was engaged in hauling
some hay from tiie freight depot of
theO. R. it C. R R., and while en-
route from the depot to the stables
with u load the bales of bay began to
slip. Mr. Spencer was on the rear
of the wagon. When the hay began
to slip he hailed to tiie driver, John
Estes, a colored man, to stop. John
immediately stopped the horses and
as he did so Mr. Spencer, having lost
his balance in an effort to hold the
hay on, fell from tiie wagon. His
head hit on the ground just at the
base of the fence. He lay there mo
tionless. The driver ran to his assis
tance and picked him up. His head
hung limp from his shoulders and
only a glance was necessary to tell
that his neck had been broken. The
unfortunate man never uttered a
sound and was dead before the driver
reached him. A crowd soon gathered
and the remains were conveyed to
Lipscomb’s Hotel. Mr. Gaines, of
Montgomery’s undertaking estab
lishment took charge of the remains.
Mr. Spencer’s relatives were at once
notified. A messenger was dispatched
to convey thc sad intelligence to tiie
dead man’s father, who resides sev
eral miles below the cif> T . He re
sponded at once, and under his di
rection the arrangements for the fu
neral were made.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
Junius Goodman Spencer was about
thirty-nine years old and was the
-ion of Thomas and Catherine Spen
cer. He was born in Draytonville
township, this county, and had al
ways resided in this community.
His parents were well to do an-i in
dustrious people and thc son inher
ited the energy and perseverance of
his parents. He resided on the
furm and when lie reached the proper
age availed himself of the common
schools of the neighborhood. In
1871J he entered the Gaffney Male
and Female Seminary, which institu
tion h» attended for two years or
more. He afterwards taught school
and it was in this way and on the
farm that he gained a start for him
self. Eight and a half years ago he
came to Gaffney and engaged in tiie
livery business, which he has suc
cessfully conducted ever since. Fie
also conducted a meat market in thc
winter season.
Mr. Spencer was a Master Mason
and held his membership in the Skull
Shoals lodge. During his short life
he had accumulated quite a snug
little fortune. He also carried sev
eral thousand dollars in life insurance.
It lias been but a few weeks since lie
took out several thousand dollars
worth of life insurance.
Mr. Spencer was one of the most
conservative business men in this
section. His dealings with his fellow
man were ciiaracterized by honesty
and fairness. He was prompt to meet
liis obligations and there was hardly a
man in Gaffney who would uot accom
modate "Doc” Spencer. He took
quite an interest in the local affairs
of the town and county and there was
nothing that ever pertained to the
advancement and welfare of tiie
town that did not find a warm sup
porter in him. One characteristic
about the man was his frankness. If
he did not like anything lie was out
spoken in ids denunciation of it. He
never harbored malice. He could
engage in a law suit with you and if
he got beat it was all right with him.
Personally, Mr. Spencer and the
writer were very warm friends. We
had been engaged in a number of
business transactions and they in
variably terminated in a most pleas
ant and satisfactory manner. Aside
from that, we were more than mere
acquaintances. He never lost an op
portunity to bestow a favor and he
would always do it in such a manner
that would curry with it evidences of
tiie pure friendship in the man.
Surely this useful life has been cut
off iu the bloom of manhood. Gaff
ney, Cherokee county, South Caro
lina and the world can ill afford to
give him up. Those who knew and
loved him will regret to do so, but
then we all must bow to the will of
Him who gave him to us, and we all
should say ‘‘Thy will, oh God, be
done.” May his soul rest in peace.
In speaking of Mr. Spencer yes
terday Mr. A. N. Wood said: "J. G.
Spencer is no more. A good man has
fallen. How we shall miss him. I
have known him for years and al
ways found him upright and pleas
ant to deal with, very social and
agreeable in his nature. His father,
brothers and sisters have my heat-
felt sympathy.”
Mr. Spencer was unmarried. Those
who survive him are ills futhei and a
number of brothers and sisters.
