That amount, less a small proportion, goes to the North and West each year for investment, and in twenty years; including interest, will amount to something like $ 100,000,000.00 This should not be. Keep your premiums at home for the development of your own State. The best way to do Ibis is to have your life insured in the Southeastern Life Insurance Company James Monroe Lipscomb cumbs to Illness. N?ixupatar. Miss., June 13.—The death angel visited the home of James Monroe Lipscomb on May the 20th, 1906, and took from that home a good wife and mother. She was born in Union district of South Caro lina. Her brother was known as 1 hickety Bob Thomson. She was raised on Thickety. She married James Monroe Lipscomb about sixty- two years ago and now he is so lonely, with his locks white for the harvest. Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb moved to Mississippi about thirty-three years a ora, leaving behind loved ones and g i d, kind neighbors In the old State, of which Mrs. Lipscomb spoke on her detthbed. She was ready and wanted to go. She said she wanted to meet her mother and neighbors she had left in South Carolina who had gone on before. She left behind six child ren. all of whom lived near her ex cept two—Rev. Lee Lipscomb, of the Nc rth Mississippi conference, and Mrs. Martha J. Linder, wife of Rev. Lee Linder, of Worter Valley. Miss., formerly of South Carolina. These children came ana were with her at her death. The other children are, A lolphus Lipscomb, Mrs. Mary Price, Mrs. Nannie Cade, and John Lip scomb—her baby. All were nresent when she died. John and wife and three children lived with the old peo ple, as he was the youngest. Mrs. I ipscomb thought there was nobody like John. She loved his wife. Myrie, and the three children—Gradie Lee, Terresa Ma-,* and GlaJist. They were so near and dear to her. always ready and willing to help her in her feeble ness. She was feeble for years, but would not give up until two weeks before she died. She was taken very ill and all that daughters and loved ones could do coidd not stay the hand of death. Besides a husband and six children, she leaves a host of Grand children and great-grand-children. Many of them were present at the cemetery. She has gone, she is no more. She sleeps under the clods and pretty (lowers at Noxupter Methodist church that she loved and held her member- ship in. She so often went to that church to hear her own dear son and other pastors that she loved, and would carry sweet flowers that were worked and watered bv her own dear hands, and decorate the preacher’s stand. She loved flowers and preach ers. Her home was the preachers’ home. She loved all good people. She could not bear anything that was wrong and degrading. I wish we had more women like Jennet Lipscomb. V.'e will cherish her memory. Her body has been consigned to the grave and her spirit to the God who gave it. May her influence for good roll on like the mighty Amazon until it loses its course in the great ocean of eter nity. Yes. she is gone, but not for gotten. Her influence will live in the hearts of her children, her grand children and her great-grandchild ren. May the soft winds of coming years chant a gentle breeze over her slumbering dust till time shall have run its course; then we hope to meet her beyond the grave, where there win be no more heart aches and no more good-byes. Mrs. Lipscomb has many friends and kindred around Gaffney. I have often heard her speak of them. She has one sister in Gaffney—Mrs. Maria Rountree, and one sister in Atlanta— Mrs. Margaret Bramlet; and a broth er in the Territory—Bob Thomson. She has nephews and neices in South Carolina and friends that she loved ond talked about so much. Hiram Lipscomb, of Noxubel county, visited her twice in her sickness. He is one of the best men in Mississippi. Mrs. Lipscomb w.as alway glad to see Cous in Shippy. as she called him. She dearly loved his mother, Sallie Lln- scomb. 1 have often heard her speak ot her and Bill and Nathan Lipscomb and all of those older Lipscombs, till I felt it my duty to write to The Led ger, as many of her kin and friends could read of her. I read The Ledger. It was sent to me by that big. kind-hearted man, Wofford Price, of Cowpens. I like to read The Ledger, because it comes from the dear old home. Mrs. Lipscomb is gone, but let us meet her In the sweet beyond, where there will be no more pains and no more heartaches, no more tears shed. She has gone from earth’s sorrows and troubles, trials and sufferings. She has done all that she could. A chair is left that never can be filled. She was wittv and cheerful and po - * :ssed a kind heart. She never tired in waiting on the sick and she was a kind friend and true mother. She lost two children in South Carolina—Good- mnd and Sarah—and one In Missis- sippi—Beauregard. Her pastor pre sided at the burial ceremonies. Her grave was covered with flowers and her favorite hymns were sun?. “Over tlue river." “My soul in sad exile,” and Out on life’? sea.” s Mrs. M M. Price. Man, Formerly of Union, Caught in Atlanta. Hnion, June 16.—News has just reached here that R. Douglas Eng lish. son of a prominent white plant er of this county, was today arrested in Atlanta under the assumed name of Smith on a warrant sworn out re cently charging him with i&eing im plicated in the murder of Moses Hughes, an aged negro. The crime is one of the blackest in the history of the county, the mur dered man’s body being found by buz zards, four days after he was shot, •bound hand and foot, weighted with rocks and thrown into the Tyger river. \\. R. Gilliam, another white far mer, was arested late Wednesday, .also charged with this crime. A dep uty leaves today for Atlanta for Eng lish.'and it is understood that he will come without extradition papers. Colored School for Cherokee. Editor The Ledger:—Please allow me space in the columns of your pa per to inform your many readers of 0111 education project. The colored Biptisr of this county have been talking of building a high school for a long time, but the work has n<5w begun and in less than forty days the building will be up. Wess T. Jones has the contract and the building win be done right. I want to ask the friends of this w 'eil begun work to rally to the flag. Tnis is the pride of Cherokee county. There is not a colored school of any note in this part of the Sttte. With a better climate than any other part of the State, and many other advantages, we can run a creditable school. By this means we can induce good color ed farmers to move to this county. It seems to me that religion and ed ucation are what the negro is seek ing alter. Let us open up the way for them to find it here in Cherokee county. If we don’t they will iro else- where to find it. As this is the year that the people of thig county and State are being asked fo r their suff rage I would like to ask them to think of us in the building of the Cherokee Normal and Industrial Institute at this place. I make an ap peal to the people of this county for $1."00. Some of our good friends have said to us. "Send a man North; ihey have the money up there .and will help you.” But 1 wish to say for many reasons w-e are not ready to send him vet. First, because w - e want to show to the wmrld that we have friends in the South. • Second, we don’t want to have to accept any of their teachers that teach Southern prejudice. And then I believe in peo ple trying to help themselves before asking other people to aid them. We have over $1,000 worth of property that we have paid for, and I believe we ought to try to go a little farther. I have collected since March 10th, 1906, $20, so you see that we need to get a hustle on ourselves. I want to soon give a write-up of the ones that helped me. So you hurry and join The Ledger readers and help me, too Who will be first? Now Is the ac cepted time. With best wishes to The Ledger, S. J. Lipscomb. Gaffney, S. C„ R. F. D. No. 1, Box No. G.
