DEATH OF L. D. CHILDS.
|| -f.* ?*?4
Sadden End of Richland's Foremost
Fariper mad Political
Leader.
The Stato.
As unexpected as the thunderbolt
from a clear sky came a
brief telegram last evening conveying
the sad intelligence that
Capt. Lysander D. Childs had
died suddenly in the course of
the evening at Saluda, N. C?
where be has been spending the
summer with his family. The
cause of Capt. Child's sudden
death was not stated. The news
was a severe shock to his relatives
and friends, and all. hastened
to convey messages of condolence
to the stricken widow.
Capt. Childs was one of Colum
bta'8 most prominent' citizens.
Though he lived quietly at bis
home in YVaverly, he had many
business interests and was a man
who was known by his fellowcitizens
only to be loved, lie was
a high-toned Christian gentleman,
having the courage of his
convictions, and never failing to
express them fearlesslyand forcefully.
Ilis strength of character
was best exemplified perhaps in
his absolute devotion to the cause
of prohibition in South Carolina.
He has long been the recognized
leader of the prohibitionists of
the State, and every fight for the
cause that has been made was
under his leadership.
The remains will be brought to
the saddened home in this city
to-day and the funeral arrangements
will be announced later.
Capt. Child's health had been bad
for some time. This summer he
went early to the mountains.
About three weeks ago he came
home for a few days to look after
some business matters. He had
never iooKea netter ana said that
he felt greatly improved by bin
stay in the mountains. Ilis friends
little dreamed that the end was
so near. His last appearance in |
public was in the legislature the
session before last, when by sheer
will power he overmastered hip
rapidly failing strength and made
the great fight for the prohibition
measure whiwh came so near winning.
After the fight was ov r he
left the hall and did not appear
again that session, his last as a
member of the house of representatives.
Lysander D. Childs was born in
Lincolnton, N. C., July 6, 1855,^
son of Lysander D. Childs and
Nancy Hoke. The former was
born near Baltimore in 1811, and
when 18 years of age came to
North Carolina, where he wan
married in 1830. lie was a sue
cesoful manufacturer and hanker
in thib city up to the time of bin
death, which took place Novem
ber 20, 1870. The mother was a
daughter of Col. Hoke a wealthy
and prominent citizen of North
Carolina. Nine children were
born to them, of whom only William
G. Childs, the present president
of the bank of Columbia
and Columbia, Newberry <k Laurens
railroad; and Augustus
Childs* of this.city, survive. Their
