The grim reaper haa again been at work in our midst, and once more has our little city been called upon to give up one of her good citizens. This time an old warrior who had battled with the storms and adversi ties of life for seventy-four long years and in whose bosom the fires of valor and patriotism yet burned as in the days when he battled with a human foe in defense of his native land, his home and his loved ones, received the summons to lay down his arms and appear before the Great Captain on the eternal camp ing ground. Wednesday morning about 3 o’clock as anxious watchers sat beside his bed, Mr. James McKown quietly breathed bis last at bis home on Frederick street. He had been in bad health for some time, and for the past two months he was confined to his bed. He was an old man and the cause of his death was a general break-down of the vital powers that had upheld him for three-fourths of a century. Mr. McKown was born near Wil- kinsville, in what was then Union but now Cherokee county, on Janu ary 3rd, 1828. He grew to man’s estate at the place of his birth and followed the vocation of a farmer. When the great Civil War came on he volunteered for service in the Con federate army and became a member of Company C. t Seventh South Caro lina Regiment. He was a brave and gallant soldier, and though he was in many of the hard-fought battles that, marked the course of that uneven struggle, he was fortunate enough to escape without a wound. He was actively engaged throughout the en tire war aud was paroled at Appo mattox with the small band of L.e’s men who had escaped the ravages of war. After the bloody conflict was over Mr. McKown returned to his home and began to repair the losses he had suffered during the four years of warfare. He went to work with a will and soon began to prosper again. Early in life be joined the Baptist church at Ararat, near his home, but in the course of time he changed his membership to Abing don, of which church he was a ment her in good standing e# tfietirae of his death. Aboi’J force years ago Mr. McKown moved with his family to Gaffney and since that time he has remained a resident of this city. He conducted a boarding house on Frederick street and did quite a profitable business in that line, at the same time gain ing for himself an enviable reputa tion as a host and the esteem and admiration of his boarders. Mr. McKown was a gentleman of the old school who loved the cause of right and whose guide was the beacon light of honor’s star. His friends were many and he had no enemies; he was a jolly, sunny-natured, gen erous-hearted man, hospitable in his home and equally as sociable abroad, aud his death will be deeply lamented by his surviving army comrades, as well as by all who were glad to know him in life. He is the last of several brothers to go. Not long ago his only living brother, West, came to a tragic end on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad, and now the last one goes the way of the others. It would be pleasing indeed to know that they are all reunited in a land where partings are unknown. Mr. McKown was twice married and four children were the fruits of bis first marriage, three of whotp are still living. Ilia second wife also survives him. To the sorrowing and grief-stricken onee who are left to mourn for a devoted husband and father, we tender our deepest sympathies and pray that the Great Giver of all good may com fort and console them in their sorrow. The funeral services were held in the First Baptist church yesterday afternoon at ft o’clock by Rev. J. D. Bailey, of Cowpena, who came by special request of Mr. McKown, made before he died. The body waf then taken to Oakland cemetery and there laid in its last resting place. The pall bearers were, J. q Little, J. R. Tolleson, R. O. Sams, R. M. Wilkins, T. H. Littlejohn and Gil* Hard Cline, A PROMINENT CHEROKEEAN. Col. Itntlrr to (*« Slutotl for a (iood Ft-iirrsil Jolt. The following article from the Charleston News aud Courier of | Wednesday will interest the people of Giflney and ('herokee county ; ‘•According »o the latest report in political circles the position as assist ant district attorney will he offered to Mr. Thomas Bothwel! Butler, at present a tneu lier of the General As- •emldy fr.-m <'hfroke»e county. It was said G>a < liter oay that Judge C. 1’. Tow mend, private secretary to Senator McLaurin, would be made ’ one of the assistant attorneys, and now it seems that the other place will be seized by Mr. Butler. Im mediately after the appointment of Mr. Capers Mr. Butler went to Wash ington and it is generally believed that his plans were fixed at that time. Mr. Butler is said to be a nephew of Gen. M. U. Butler, who is in sympathy with the McLaurin movement, and it is understood that Gen. Butler's influence will secure the appointment for bis nephew. ■The information regarding the ap pointment of Mr. Butler comes from a reliable source|and it is believed by politicians to be true. Republicans are not pleased with the situation, because it means the giving of an other good office to a ‘Gold’ Demo crat.” Referring to the above article Col. Butler stated positively that be kneiv nothing of the intended appointment and that this was the first he had heard of it. His trip to Washinton some time ago was entirely in the interest of a grocery firm in this city, the matter involving the recovery of some money that had been taxed them by the government for selling butterine without a license, though this firm wasignoratn of the fact that a special license was required. Col. Butler secured a return of most of the money, and came home immedi ately. He said that his trip had no political signification, whatever, and the report embodied in the above article came in the nature of a sur prise to him. Burglary to Grover. On Sunday night of last week some one broke into the stores of Messrs. C. F. Hambright and J. A. Ellis <fc Co., at Grover," from the former taking two pairs of shoes and from the latter several articles. They did not succeed in opening the safe in either store and there was no money in the drawers. The postoffice is located in Mr. Hambright’s store. The thief broke into a man’s tool box near Grover and got some chisels and other tools with which they prized open the front doors. This is the third time stores at Grover have been robbed within a year. The Annual Summer Sale I OF Undermuslins and Other White Goods. .
