A SKETCH OF LIFE OF MAJ. McKISSICK, Aiviemous to accomplish SOMETHING FROM YOUTH. He Steadily Climbed Ladder of Suc cess Till He Stood on Topmost Round. Wilkinsville. Oct. 23.—If there is one thing more than another we wou'.d like to do. it would be to point out to the voung men of our country the l.ossloiuiy oi making something of their c've". an 1 helping them to at tain that end Just after he died— September 28. 1902—we started to write a sketch of the life of Major Edward Perrin McKissick. whose un timely death took place at Norfolk, Va.. while on a trip to that city. We had just begun the work, too but \ver o taken sick and never finished It. i Viowever it is never too late to do good if you commence in time. Major McKissick was the son of Col. Isaac G. McKissick, who was well an I favorably known throughout t’ •» State during and since the Late w-r. We have a rea.'y told our read ers how he came to be elected c erk of the court of Union district (now county), which many of our older readers know all about. The subject of his sketch. Edward Perrin McKissick, was horn in the town of Union. July 3rd. 1807. He grew up in that town and received hi° common school education there. When not otherwise engaged he could be found in his father’s law office sweeping the floor, arrangin'- books and papers in their proper places, run ning on errands and doing chores about the office. Frequently we have found him there with his school books, learning his lesson. He seem ed to he always busy. His lounger brother. A. Foster McKissick, now president of Grendal cotton mills, in Greenwood, was frequently with him and similarly engaged. He was often |n the court room during the sitting of court to dnaw the names of jurors from the hat. It was here that he— merely a barefooted boy—met and formed the acquaintance of the most eminent men at the bar and upon the bench, which proved a great help to him in his after life. At the age of seventeen he entered the South Carolina College, but did not graduate—a matter which we have no doubt he ever had occasion to regret His ambition was to make something of himself, and for him self, and at the same time live in touch with the common people. In 1886 and '87 he was local editor of the Union Times, then under the editorial management of the venera ble Robert M. Stokes. This position he filled with distinguished ability and to the satisfaction of his employ er and the patrons of the paper. At the end of these two years he re signed and accepted a position on the staff of the News and Courier, of Charleston, which brought him into a wider field of usefulness. Here he was not slow to improve his oppor tunity; and his ability as a ready writer and business man gave him an enviable reputation. noL only throughout this State but elsewhere. While with the News and Courier he traveled over the State and became acquainted with most of Its promi nent and influential people, as well as many such outside the State’s limits. Wherever he went he made friends by the hundreds and thous ands. By his genial spirit and gentle manly deportment he won the admira tion of al] or nearly he met. But his ambitious spirit was not to be curbed. He sought a still wider and more remunerative field in which to labor, and at the end of four years he severed his connection with the News and Courier to accept the man agement of Batterv Park Hotel, in Asheville, N. C.. in which position he served for five years. He then leased the hotel and became its proprietor, which he continued to be until his death. By which time he had. ac quired quite a fortune, a great part of which he donated to charitable ob jects and for the betterment of his less fortunate countrymen. While Major McKissick was man- ■ 'in* 1 - the Batterv Park Hotel he had TOT 6 Ills guests some of the chief dig- uataries of the land, and among whom were many of his warmest per sonal friends. They made It a point to patronize him and enjoy his com- nany. Amc i g others was Grover Cleveland and William McKinley— two presidents of the United States —the latter of whom, though differ ing with him politically, was his per sona] friend. How could he be other wise? On returning from the Memphis re union of Confederate veterans in May. 1901, your correspondent spent some time with Major McKissick- at Battery Park Hotel, where he was treated with all the courtesy and politeness characteristic of that big hearted gen tleman. and on parting with him for our home we were urged to stay long er and eniov his genuine hospitalit v without money and without price Although he has fought the battle of life successfully and stood upon the top round of the ladder .of his ambition and enjo'" * the confidence and retpect of some of the most re nowned men of the nation in social, political and financial circles, he was the same plain, unassuming Ed. Mc Kissick we knew in his early life. His successful career didn’t give him the his head or otherwise make a fool of him. While in Asheville with him he se cured a permit to visit the Vanderbilt estate and not only that, but gave us the use of his horse and buggy to ride over and inspect this vast accumu lation of wealth and beauty. On this trip we had as our guide and escort Rev. R. P. Smith, who was familiar with the roads and places of interest about the Vanderbilt home and farm. One thing about Major McKissick which made deservedly popular, was he never forgot his old friends and acquaintances. They received the same courteous treatment at his hands that he gave the aristocratic dignataries who put up at his hotel —if anything he rather sought the companionship of the more common people. But he enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who came in so cial contact with him. It was while he was connected with the News and Courier that lie receiv ed the title of Major, by serving on General Hugheniin’s staff. Major McKissick had no better op portunities to distinguish himself than many a boy who reads this sketch and not half as good as many. His father was by no means a wealthy man. He. like thousands of others, came home from the war stripped of everything save his energy and honor. He went to work at once to rebuild his shattered fortune. He married a daughter of General Barham Foster, w*-- proved an helpmeet in every sense of the word. He began the prac tice of law and was associated with Oenoral (afterwards Judge) W. H. Wallace. He was not slow in disting uishing himself as one of the ablest criminal lawyers of the State. He represented Union county in the State legislature several terms. It was during part of this time that his son Ed. was appointed one of the pages, and this ^ave the hoy another opportunity to become acquainted with most of the leading men of the State and fitted him for greater use fulness. Major McKissick was an enthusias tic member of the Sons of Confeder ate Veterans. He held at the time of his death a prominent position at the head of that organization. Battery Park Hotel was one of the most noted and popular institutions of its kind in the South. On its register are the names of some of the most dis tinguished men of our country, both north and south. It stands on a com manding ridge and takes its name from a fortress built there in time of the war. It was here that the Mc- Beth artillery, made up principally from Union county and commanded at that time by Lieutenant Starkes, made its Last stand in defense of Southern independence. Major McKissick was never better "leased than when showing visitors the site of the old fort, the outlines of which are clearly to be seen within a stone’s throw of the palatial Battery Park Hotel. While the boy of today has perhaps read the story of Lincoln, of Garfield, of Grant and “Andy” Johnson, and how they made and improved their opportunities and fought their way to the-top of fame’s ladder under al most insuperable barriers, we have no hesitancy in saying that Edward Perrin McKissick was the peer of any of them, and well deserves the same commendation. Peace to his ashes and calm to his memory. J. L. Strain. TRAINMEN LEAP FROM LOCOMOTIVE UNUSUAL ACCIDENT ON SOUTH ERN RAILWAY. “The Chills” Rampant. Spartanburg, Oct. 22.—A farmer of sallow appearance, looking as if he wtas not well nourished, was In town Saturday. He said that he lived out near Lawson's Fork and that the chills had been shaking him up. He mentioned several neighbors in the same condition. For years, accord- in*" to his report, there had been no chills in that neighborhood till this year. There are no lakes and stag nant water on the creek. It is a swift stream. Now. will the doctors tell what has caused the disease this year? Or do they know anything about it? Early Sunday morning a colored hand attempted to jump from a mov ing train and he was carried under the wheels and both legs were crush ed. He is not expected to live. Crown-Sheet Bolts Pulled Out and Flames Burst Throuqh, Turninq the Cab Into a Veritable Inferno. Asheville, N. C., Oct. 24.—Envelop ed in flames which poured from its fire box, and were fanned to a furious volume by the high speed at which it was running, deserted by engineer and fireman, who badly burned, leap ed to escape certain death, a heavy locomotive drawing a fast freight tiain on the Southern railway, r^n for over a mile near Statesville yes terday morning, and was only stop ped by a grade which proved too much for it to surmount without prop er control. For a time the accident, and resulting out-burst of flame, were thrilling in the extreme and has had few parallales in the historv of rail roading. The freight train was approaching Statesville, when suddenly flame and smoke and hot steam burst from the engine cab where Engineer C. B. Owenby, of Asheville, and Fireman Fred Little, of Old Fort, and Brake- man Earl Holt, (colored), of Salis bury. were riding. The accident was caused by the crown-sheet bolts pull ing through forcing the flames from the firebox. The three men were without a moment’s warning sur rounded by the fiery mass of flames, which were fanned by the rush of the swiftly moving engine to a will] fury, and only quick action saved the three men from a horribi« death. Engineer Owenby remained but long enough to cut off the steam, when he follow ed the other iwo men in a desperate leap for safety. Afi alighted without injury, except a severe scorching, while the huge locomotive bounded forward without a hand to guide it. th'* flames streaming out behind and enveloped cab and tender. The engineer, though badly burned on the face and body, at once "n pick ing himself up from the ground ran back to flag passenger train No 21, whic 1, was understood to be njnning close behind the freight, but fortunate ly had been delayed owing to trouble with its engine. Engineer -Owenby and the other two men were taken to Statesville, where their burns were dressed by the company’s surgeon. Mr. Owenby was then brought to Asheville and is now in the care of a local physician, who reports that his condition is serious. Little and Earl are pain fully. but not seriously burned, about the face and upper part of the body. It is said that Engineer Owenby demurred about taking out the en- elne. as he did not consider it in Prop er condition, but was persuaded to do so against his own Judgment. LITTLE NEGRO KILLED.
