KENNEDY AQOOD MAN.
Shertflf Kennedy belonged to
ne of the best families in Abeville
county and was uniersally
popular. In tlie recent
rimary he was elected on the
rst ballot over several oppoonts,
and he took charge of his
thee only 19 days ago. He
ras a man of unquestioned
ourage and was a splendid cit;en.
He was about 35 years
Id, was vice chancellor of Aboville
lodge, Knights of Pytlivs,
and had $2,000 insurance
i that order. lie was also in?
ured in the Woodmen of the
