CARPENTER THE GRIM REAPER. Spar living y^ars He Lays His Heavy Hand On Gaff ney Citizens. Gaffney was shocked Sunday morn ing to learn of the death of (’apt. W. H. Richardson, one of our most pro minent and beloved citizens. Capt. Richardson was in his usual health until 9 o’clock Saturday night when he complained of a pain in his side. He gradually grew worse and a few minutes after 11 he breathed his last. The end came calmly and peacefully. Capt. Richardson was born in tauburg county, and had been iu Gaffney for last twenty where he was always found In the front rank of those who were trying to do something for the advancement and betterment of our town. He was about sixty-nine years of age, and leaves a devoted wife, two sons and four daughters, to mourn their loss. His oldest son. Mr. Isham \V. Richardson, is in MilledgieviUe, Ga.. in the cotton business. His daughter, Mrs. Esthridge, of Atlanta, is the wife of one of the prominent attorneys of that city. His other childien reside in Gaffney. Capt. Richardson was a gallant Confederate soldier and *vas wound d severely during the war by being shot through the body. He said just before he died that he was dying from the effects of tnis old wound. He was a member of Company D. Palmetto Sharpshooters. Capt. Richardson was a quiet, un assuming Christian gentlman. He was sincerely loved by all who knew him. All day Sunday a stream of people wended their way to the home to pay their respect to the dead man. Among them were bankers, mer- ehats manufacturers, laborers, arti sans, ladies and little children, was a great lover of children they, in turn, loved him. Capt. Richardson was closelv iden tified with the business of Gaffnev until recent years when he retired from active business on account of an unfortunate fall from a tree, which resulted in a broken thigh. When this occurred he was gathering mis tletoe with which to decorate the table for Christmas dinner. He has been a cripple since the fall, but he was an energetic man and would not cease work altogether. Since that time he had conducted a small farm. For many years he was the manager of the Limestone Springs Lime Works, and afterwards conducted a wheelwright business. The funeral took place from the residence yesterday morning at 11 o’clock and was largely attended. The pall-hearers were: H. L. Spears, J. A. Carroll. D. C. Ross. R. M. Wil kins, J. N. Lipscomb and C. M. Smith. He and Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Thomas died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. J. J. Scruggs, in this city Friday night in the seventy-second year of her age. Mrs. Thomas was the widow of th<* late Mattison Thomas.

Mr. Frank Layton, nephew of Mr. Thos. G. Teal, died at the home of his uncle Saturday morning at 4:17, after a lingering illness. May Lay- ton had been sick for a long time and for the past nine weeks was con fined to his bed. For about two years he has been suffering from a compli cation of diseases and had been travel ling around In the hope of recovering his health. He was but thirty years of age. He was a native North Caro linian. but lived 4n this state for some time. He was unmarried. The fune ral took place Sunda/ at 3 o’clock, Rev. G. P. Hamrick conducting. The interment was at Oakland. The Mule Matter Settled. The dispute between Mrs. Jose phine Robinson and Brool:-s Martin over a mule traded to Martin by Hamp Robinson, the husband of Mrs. Robinson, has been settled. Martin claims that he did not know the mule was the property of Mrs. Robinson when he* traded for It. That may be true, but It was no sense for Martin’s effort to hide the mule after he re ceived that information. G. W. Speer took out claim and delivery papers for the mule Friday and Friday after noon Martin gave up the mule and paid the cost in both the civial and criminal cases against him and thus the matter was ended.

Did Business Without License. Some time ago The Ledger pub lished an exposure of a so called loan company who have headquarters in Columbia. One of their agents—G. W. Bowman—was in Gaffney some time ago, and we understand sold considerable of his stock. He failed to pay the license required and got away before the authorities eot. to him. Yesterday morning Bowman was back in town. Ofticer Bert Rall- man, dressed in citizen close, accost ed him and asked him to explain his plan. Hi* began to do so and was about, to write him an application when Chief of Police Lickart swoop ed down on them and placed Bow man under arrest for doing business .without a license. Bowman paid $5 fop violating the law and then took out lincese. His plan may be all right, but it does not look feasible to us. Those who do business with his concern had better look into the thing. Deacon Installed. Messrs Joe S. Robinson and David Boozer were installed as deacons in the Limestone Presbyterian church Sunday morning. The solemn and impressive ceremony was performed bv the pastor. Rev. R. T. Liston, as sisted by the elders. Messrs. Robin son and. Boozer are two of Gaffney’s model young men.
