Mr .lames McKown Tasses Away at Ills
Home In Thia City at the Age of Hetec-
ty-l our Native of Union Comity llurlal
at Oakland Cemetery.
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.

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.
