DEATH CLAIMS THREE CITIZENS. The Grim Reaper's Work Within a Week. AMBROSE If. MARTIN. One of the Most Prominent Men In the Comity-Two Other Aged Citi zens, Good and True. The announcement Saturday morning shortly before 10 o'clock of the death of Mr. Ambrose H. Martin, one of Laurens' most prominent citizens, at the home of his daughter, Mra. C. S. McLaurin, at McColl, Marlboro county, was the occasion of Yery genera! sor row and deep regret in Laurens, the home of the deceased. While on a visit to his daughters of McColl, Mrs. C. S. McLaurin and Mrs. David C. McLaurin, Mr. Martin be came ill about three weeks ago with an attack of grip and pneumonia. Within two weeks it was announced that the attack had apparently given way and Mr. Martin's family and friends here and elsewhere were very glad to hear of the change for the better and of his continued improvement from day tc day, the news coming that he was able to sit up some about the middle of last week. However, on Thursday af ternoon he suffered a back set, fol lowed in a short time by a complete collapse, dying, aB already stated, Sat urday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock. The body of Mr. Martin, accompanied by Messrs. C. S. and David C. McLau rin and families of McColl, and Miss Lucile Martin of Laurens, who was at her father's bedside when the end came, was brought to Clinton, where it was met at four o'clock Sunday morn ing by relatives and a number of friends from Laurens, who drove through with the funeral party, reach ing the late home of the deceased about noon. At three o'clock in the af ternoon the funeral services were held at Chestnut Ridge Church, a place moat sacred and beloved by Mr. Mar tin, whose devotion to and support of the old Church was best known to those who knew the deceased most inti mately. A very large assemblage at tended the services, which were con ducted by the Rev. E. C. Watson, pas tor, assisted by the Rev. John D. Pitts, formerly and for many years pastor of the same Church. A number of appro priate Scriptural passages were read by Mr. Watson and prayer was offered by Mr. Pitts. Two or three selections, sweet and familiar old hymns, favorite songs of Mr. Martin, were sung with much effect by the choir, the congre gation joining in occasionally. Then followed a very appropriate and im pressive talk by Mr. Watson who ex pressed, as he stated, the sentiment of this entire section in the remark "that a great and good man had fallen." The services were concluded at the grave with a song by the choir and a brief prayer, offered by Mr. Chas. B. Bobo. The honorary pallbearers were: Maj. W A. Watts, Hon. W. R. Richey, Capt. John M. Hudgens, H. Terry, C. B. Bobo, A. Huff. Active: A. B. Barksdale, J. F. Bolt, A. W. Teague, J. S. Machen, G. A. Fuller, F. J. Owings. Ambrose H. Martin was bom in June, 1826. He spent his life in Laurens, re siding in the Chestnut Ridge section, four miles west of the city, where he owned one of the finest as well as one of the largest farms in the county, which he operated with the greatest possible success. For years he was en gaged in business in this city, from which he retired some 15 years ago. But he was closely identified with nearly all the leading enterprises of the city, being at the time of his death a director in the Watts Mills, the People's Loan and Exchange bank, Laurens Furniture factory and other smaller enterprises in and about the city. He was a clear headed business man whose enterprise and public spirit made him one of the most important factors in the industrial development of this section, and no man stood for a higher standard of Christian citizenship and Christian living. For years and years he was a deacon in the Chestnut Ridge Baptist church and a leading spirit in the Laurens Baptist association and all else pertaining to the welfare and progress of Church, State and society. He was probably the wealthiest farmer in the county, his rating being from $65,000 to $85.000. Mr. Martin's wife, who was a Miss Rook of the county, died about three years ago. They arc survived by the following sons and daughters: Messrs. Henry J. Martin and Herbert R. Martin, Mrs. A. S. Eaaterby, Mrs. Arthur L. Hudgens, Misses Maggie and Lucile Martin of Laurens, and the two daughters of Marlboro. Mr. Martin is also survived by one borther, Mr. Lewis Martin of Mt. Gal lagher, this county, and a sister, Mrs. William Madden of Greenville. Capt. W. S. Pitts. After a long period of illness Capt. W. S. Pitts, a most highly regarded, . useful and well known citizen of the county, died at his home in Cross Hill township, March 18th, aged sixty six. He left a widow, four sons and two daughters. He was buried on Tues day in the family cemetery near his late home. Capt. Pitts left an enviable record as a soldier, citizen and Christian. At the beginning of the War Between the Sec tions Capt.

After Months ot Suffering, Career of Brilliant Young Lawyer and State Official is Ended. Columbia, March 26th.-Hon. U. X. Gunter, Jr., attorney general of the State of South Carolina, died yester day at the home of his father, Mr. U. X. Gunter, at Batesburg. Mr. Gunter had been ill since last June, but he made a gallant fight against dissolu tion. The flickering spark glowed brighter at intervals only to be dimmed again by the hand of the dread disease. The end had been expected hourly, but for over a week a powerful constitu tion and an almost supernatural will power stayed the approach of death. U. X. Gunter, Jr., was a young man of real ability and sterling qualities. He was but thirty-fivefyears of age, but in that time had risen to the ex alted position of Attorney General of his State, and he has filled that office with ability and honor. He was a worker?some say a plodder, but in this world it is most often that the plodder and the toiler wins the laurels. For more than ten years I have been in al most daily association with U. X. Gun ter, first as private secretary to Gov ernor Evans, then as assistant to At torney General Bellinger, and then as Attorney General, and in all that time he has been the perfect gentleman, the loyal friend, the unostentations plod der, the advocate of the poor and un fortunate, and the faithful official, Mr. Gunter was the sort of friend worth having. He never pushed himself nor did he care for glory. The knowledge of duty well done; of victory was all he sought. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. Met Yesterday in the Court House With County Auditor Power.

An Instance Showing (he Average Pieces of Mail Handled to be Below the Average Expected. Washington, March 26. ? Some of the officials of the post office depart ment some time ago were somewhat nettled at the reports published in this correspondence that they intended to discontinue rural free delivery routes which did not handle as much as 2,000 pieces of mail a month. They were nettled especially because in that same letter I called attention to the fact that the operations of this rule would affect routes principally in the South, where the number of negroes on the routes who do not use mails very much caused the average number of mail pieces to be low. The number of mail pieces handled on the routes in South Carolina, according to the figures of the department, averaged 2,400 pieces a month. In North Carolina the aver age is only 1,900. So stirred up about this report were the officials that they issued a special statement to the pa pers of North, Carolina where portions of the story were copied, with a view of modifying the impression. Representative Finloy, who is a mem ber of the house committee on post-of fices and postroads, has just received a letter from Mr. DoGraw, fourth assist ant postmaster general, confirming that report. He gives a specific instance of the cutting off of routes or the disposi tion to do it. "You will observe," says the letter, after giving the number of mail pieces handled on routes in York county, "that the amount of mail handled on these routes is far below the average per route, 3,(500 per month, and below the minimum which it is thought a route should handle per month, 2,000 pieces." The letter notifies Mr. Finloy that two more routes in Cherokee county will be established, completing the county system of that county. Mr. De Graw says concerning Cherokee county I hat the records show that during the quarter ending December 81, 1905, as compared with that ending June 30, 1905, there has been a material in crease in the amount of mail handled on the rural routcsof Cherokee. It v.as in view oi this improved condition thai the two new routes were established and the county system perfected. Inspections have been ordered of the routes m York county and the number of pieces of mail will be cot) ited. Tho department states to Mr. Finlej thai tho object of this is to "ascertain tho cause for the adverse conditions on these routes, and if possible, increasing their patronage." Pending reports from these routes tho department will hold up other applications for other routes In York. Moral: The country people of York and people everywhere on rural free delivery routes had best take newspa papers and write letters to folks or send out their bills through the mails. ?Zach McGhec, correspondence in the Columbia Slate.
