We extend our sympathy to all the be reaved ones and think the following lines very appropriate: was said he rode Caesar into the river at Lockhart Shoals to Pilot a "Some day the silver cord will break And 1 no more as now shall sing: But.

Ho has be, n in bed several davs and thinks ho has rheumatism. Jefferies’ life would be to make the book incomplete. We will, when at a little more leisure, take up this mat ter and give several incidents, which though they appear unreasonable, are absolutely true and our readers will get the facts. Ceasar was one of the greatest pacers that ever tread the soil of South Carolina, no doubt and Mr. Jefferies was one of tin- best riders. The late Charley McGucklu was at one tim,; an engineer on the Spartan burg and Union railroad and it was told as a fact, that Mr. Jefferies left Union on Caesar just as his train was pulling out for Spartanburg. The dirt road crossed the railroad ’ about five times between Union and Jones- Wilklnsville, Jan. 17.—We spent j v ni e and wh ui the train reached two days in Gaffney this week where ^ t j oneav iii e Mr. Jefferies was on the V"* met friends and acquaintances j platform at the depot, from different parts of the county , u or many years after the war Mr. who generally report a scarcity of ] Jefferies ran boats to Columbia, ship- labor for farm work- in their respect- | ping cotton and on one occasion it ive neighborhoods. What is true of Cherokee county is more or less true of other counties, wo suppose. We spent Monday night with our old neighbor. Col. Samuel Jef ferles, where we were accorded a kind ly welcome from him and his grand daughter, Mrs. W. A. Poole, and her husband, who are spending some time with him. We have taken occasion to refer to Mr. Jefferies in our letters as a man of note and could say much that would doubtless Interest our readers. We have known him since the close of the war and could write a book giving many incidents of his life that would compare favorably with the exploits of a Horse-Shoe Robinson. He is a man of an acute mind and can, at once command that faculty when relating incidents and circum stances with which be is familiar. During our conversation he gave an account of his life and particularly of the times immediately succeeding ihe war. and especially the ‘‘Recon- ! stniction p'riod” in which fas all : who know him are aware) he was an ! imnoT b.ini factor. Tliis. of course, embraced what, is known as the Ku Kln\ regime.

The many relatives, friends and ae j quaintances in this county of Dr. Thomas Edwin Nott, will regret to j learn of his death, which occurred i Saturday night. We take the follow THE ing from the Spartanburg Herald of Sunday: "Dr Thomas Ewin Nott. senior, a-ed 77 years, died at his residence on North Liberty stnmt last night at 7:4.') o’clock. I lie death came after months of patient suffering. Dr. Nott had been in ill health for over a year and several days ago it was known that it. was only a question of time before the end of his useful and illus trious life. The near relatives of the deceased have been gathered at the bedside for several days? awaiting the end they knew must come THE DISPENSARY CANNOT SURVIVE. GENERAL ASSEMBLY WELL UNDER WAY.

While in Gaffney we were called “to tow” by our friend Will Darby about our Hivat to send our fighting lieutenant up to look after him and “The deceased is survived by his wife one son and daughter.

This week marked the opening of the fight on the dispensary, although there has not as yet been any meas ure which has drawn the lines shWp- ly. The Information coraln~ to the legislature through the letter of Com missioner Tatum as to the condition* now exlslting at the State dispensary is taken by many to be an unfortunate thing for the dispensary and the sup porters of the system in the legisla ture: The opinion has been express ed by a st»ong dispensary man that this is the last, straw and that the sys tem will probably not -withstand the shock. The opinion was held bv the dispensary advocates that the system would have pulled through except for the latest development and the hasty manner in which the general assemb ly passed the Christensen resolution providing for an investigating com mittee to ascertain th* conditions ex isting at. the dispensary.

Mr. Jefferies was in his blacksmith shop when they came in sight He stepped out and keeping the shop building between him and the cavalcade made his exit through the palings. In trying to get through there he got his head fastened and he could neither go forward nor backward until he got a rock and knocked the paling off that held him so tirbtly. He then lay down In the tall cotton stalks which screened him from sight until they had searched the premises, but they failed to find him or any trace of him.
