Editor:—Please allow ua apace in which to mabe a few remark* In regard to the death of otir dear eon, L. N. Harvey. He was born and raised at Pacolet, S. C.. and was brought up by religious parents, and taught to respect and take part in religious work. He joined the Methodist church when h e was thirteen years old and was a bright little Christian and remained so until he began business for him self. When he began fighting his own battle and making an honest struggle, he was thrown in contact with many young me n whom be thought to be his friends but later found them to be his worst enemies, leading him little by little away from the path which he had been taught to trod. “lit” was a child of sweet disposition, never known to begin a fuss but always avoided sam e when possible. At the time of his death he was running a cafe here in town and his business called him to Spar tanburg. We are satisfied our boy went there for no other intention than transacting business, for the horse which he sent home was pur chased at, 5 o’clock before being kill ed at 7:30 o’clock on the -fTh of March. The readers of this article can only say, poor boy, he was snared when least expected, who will he the next? This is written by his broken hearted parents, who are joined by ’he home circle, and our prayers are, that the law will guide to a just ver dict. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Harvey & Family. The Dempeey case. W. H. Dempsey, who was mention ed in Tuesday’s ’lynlger as having been arrested on the charge of sell ing whiskey, and who forfeited his bond by leaving the city, was arrest ed in Morristown, Tenn., and brought back to Gaffney Wednesday morning by Chief of Police Lockhart, who went after him. Dempsey made good the check and the case of the town against him was dismissed. It is understood, however, that there will b e a State case against him. In fact he has given bond in two cases for his appearance before the circuit court. Dempsey’s unceremonious de parture from the city created no end of talk. Merrimac Stockholders Meet.

Love, the president of the universal peace union, in an interview in Philadelphia, ‘‘then many a man who now ridicules the peace movement will claim to have been Its lifelong champion. “It is always so. We thump and kick h poor, weak, struggling move ment at its inception, and when It has succeeded and no longer needs our help we give it the most solicitous sup port. “There was once a young lady whose betrothed, a very poor young 'aian, was about to set out for South America to seek his fortune in the rubber trade. “As he took leave of her the night before his departure he said tremu lously : “ ‘And you swear to be true to me, Irene?* “‘Yes.
