Black Stricken With Appoplexy Tuesday. CONFEDERATE COLONEL. Col. Black fcttrlckei, Wliile Walking Around His Farm and Died Without KeKainiiiK ConscioiiHness —A Gallant Soldier, A Good Citl/.eu and Noted Man. Col. John Logan Black, one of the most prominent and progressive men in Ohen kee county, died at his home on his farm about one mile east of Broad river, in Cherokee township, about 11 a. m. last Tuesday. He was in his seventy-second year. Col. Black and Mr. Childers, oue of his tenants, started to walk out to the farm about 9 a. m., and had not gone far when he fell suddenly. Mr. Childers rushed to bis assistance. Col. Black looked at him and smiled, but never spoke. Mr. Childers got assistance and carried him to the house, where medical aid was sum moned and everything possible was done for him, but he never regained consciousness and died between 11 and 12 o’clock Col. Black was the only son of the late Hon. J A Bla< k who once rep resented this district in the Tnited States congress, and who was largely instrumental in promoting and devel oping the manufacturing of iron in this county in the early part of the last, century, which was managed suc cessfully by him and others and as sumed large proportions, and which proved of great benefit to this Pied mont section and was of incalculable service to tiie Southern Confederacy when her people were making their grand struggle for liberty and the rights of self government which their fathers had bequeathed to them. Col. Bhick was born near Blacks burg and was educated in the com mon schools, principally at Limestone Springs. He then entered the United States military academy at West Point, where he took a creditable stand in his cla«s, in which were such men as Gen. Francis Nichols, (now chief justice of Louisiana) of the Con federate army, and Gen. 0. O. Htv* 1 - ard, of the Federal army. He re signed his position in the academy just before graduation and married Miss Peay. of Fairfield county, where he settled and engaged extensively in planting. When South Carolina seceded from the union Col. Black left his home at once and went to Charleston and offered his services to Governor Pick ens, who gave him a commission of captain and assigned him to duty on the islands in Charleston harbor, where he served alternately in the en gineer corps and quartermaster de partment. He reo,ained on these is lands till Fort Sumter was surren dered to the State forces He was then appointed major and a short time afterwards to a colonelcy, when he organized the First Regiment of South Carolina Cavalry and with bin regiment was sent to Virginia, where he and his regiment served with dis tinction under Stuart and Hampton until the end at Appomattox He was twice wounded in battle. Since the war ha has been engaged in planting and was collector of in ternal revenue in this district under Cleveland. He was instrumental in organizing the Gaffney City Land and Improve ment Company, of this city’, which has proved a most successful e^tt-r- prise, and has engineered several other important business dials in this county which have proven pay ing in vestments to himself and to his asso ciates. At his heath he owned largi- landed interests in this and FairfLld county. His lands in Cherok-e are rich in minerals. He has devettd much time to the study of mineralt- and had well matured plans for the development of them in this section Col. Black was a man of fine sense, well educated and had a vast store of information ; was a good and interes'- ing conversationalist and loved h e friends. He was a democrat in poli tics, but said he was not a Bryan or Tiiitr.an democrat. Col. Black leaves five daughters Misses Kunice and Virginia Black, Mrs. DesPortes, of Ridgeway; Mrs. Nance, of Newberry, and Mrs. Dr. Miller, of Cross Hill. His wife has been dead many years.
