Editor: You are and have been s very thoughtful and kind from time t to time since you haTe had the mapage meat of THE NEWS AND HERALD IE C publishing editori.al notice of the death s of our people. Upon the deceased of the subject of this sketch you said all r that was necessary for an editor to say d I thi- k-, and yet I think more ought to be zal by some one familiar with the facts uf her life. Perhaps no one now living, outside of her immediate con nection, knew her better than the wri ter. I knew her and her ancestry 1 back to the third generation, and I say it advisedly, she was no ordinary , woman-whether considered from a social, patriotic or business standpoint. She came of good stock. On her ma ternal side she was descended from the Kincaids of revolutionary fame. On Ler paternal side from the good old Scotch-Irish stock Her grandfather, a William Watt, who came to this coun try in early life, was married to Jennie , Thompson, who was an aunt of my c grandfathir, Robert Robinson; hence i the blood kinship cxisting between us, and always recognized cn both sides. t Old Uncle Billy Watt, as we always called her grandfather, used to tell t that when he and Jeuie were mar ried he haC, only a silver dollar as his financial stock in trade; with half of it he bought a wool hat for himself t and a pair of cotton cards for Jenn,.. From this small beginning, by indus- 9 try and economy, they succeeded in building up a nice little competoney fcr their own comfort in old age, and t wer e able from time to time as their children married off to start them out with something ahead. I was at the funeral of Aunt Jennie, and have never witnessed on any occasion signs r of more genuine grief than Uncle 53-att manifested. But whither is my oboyhood days. Miss Nancy K. Watt the eldest daughter of John Watt and Nancy s (Kineaid) Watt, who must have mar ried about the close of the eighteenth irn or the beginning of the nineteenth century, for she was born 20th No Svember, 1821. She was married to John G. Rabb, known as Ql azier Led Rabb, Marsh 12, 1840. They lived is happily together in tbis county for isnearly thirty-two years, when in Jan snary, 1872, they moved to Due West, Abbeville- county, for the purpose of are educating their children. Mr. Rabb ce. lived but a short time after the move left and died 26th February, 1872. After at his death, she carried ont successfully they- prearranged plans, remaining q' 't the children, except one, were $ainated from the college, then ab- noved back to old Fairfield in the Ld summer o- 1877. She passed peace ito fully from tne sorrows of eart h to the ie- joys of heaven, as we hope sud be for lieve, April i1, 1900. She leaves sur P,vivirg her two s'sters, Mrs. Rebecca >E. Robinson,' ~ow of Jno. W Rob inson, deceaset .g.d Mrs. Mary F. lb-' Irby, widow o?s apt A. P. Irby, less lately deceased, and two brot:.,-ra, ese- Alexander K. Watt, of Bonita, La., )t, Thomas C.

Milien, of Rosemark, 3 Tena.,, Rev. Hlorace Rabb, of Okete, Mo., Mrs. Nina P. Castles, wife of 'W. . Castles, and Charles K. Rabb, Iboth of this county. edMrs. Rabb was for a niumber of yeara edIa member of tne Presbyterian Church l-at Hioreb, but for the last twenty-severi ery vears o,f her life sb3 was a member ol nent the A. R~ P. Church. I think the tvprincipal, if not the only reason for tl,her change in church relationship was the for conv~enience. She died in the ere eommunion of the Winnsboro A. R. P. for Church, of whieh sha was a ccnsistent and active member the last twenty an three years or her life. One of tbh ated peculiar characteristics of the Wati rood family was and is kin.dness and con-. hatl sideration toward the poor, and to isward servante. and this trait of char sacter was we:1 exemplified in ou also friend of whom we write. In her, a~ rass in her dear mother of precious mem ard, ory, was fulfilled the saying of thi Master, "I was hungry and ye gay me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave mi 1c- drink, naked and ye clothd me, sic] Ear- and in prison and ye came unto me."

I had thought about treat ag this article with silent contempt, s I believe it was written by a person tterly ignorant of the duties de olved upon a supervisor. But as it 0ight possibly lead others into a rrong channel of thinking, ,I deem it iy duty to make a brief reply and en ghten the writer a little. First, the rriter asks, "What has become of our ounty commissiorer? Is he dead, or as he gone to Washington 'te see )ewey?'

I could ave seen him a few weeks ago as he assed through Winnsboro on his way Savannah, but I was too busy look g after the affairs of the county to o to the depot for a glitnpse of him. The writer says "our roads in some laces are impassable," and mentioned be fact that at Buceklick a wagon ured over and came near killing an d colored woman.
