THOMAS FERGUSON GRENEKER:.
Thonas Ferguson Greneker was
born in the city of Charleston, S. C.,
March 2nd, 1827. He died at his hon
in Newberry December 3d, 188 1, in the
;3di year of his age. He was married in
the city of C-lumnbia on 30th of Decen
ber, 1852, to Miss Mary Caroline Fritz.
By this marriage three children were
born to them. One son and two
daughters. Only one of these, Mrs.
Lula M. Jones, is now living. This
wife died many years ago.
He was married a second time, on the
9thof August, 1864, to Miss Corrie G.
Sligh, of this county, whosurvives hin.
Six children were born of this marriage
-four sons and two daughters-three 1
of whom are now living: Miss Sallie,
Eugene, and Claude.
Mr. Greneker came to Newberry be
fore the war, and was associated for
several years with T. P. Stider in the
publication of the Itising Sun. After
the war, he with his brother R. H.
Greneker, began the publication of the
Newberry Herald, it being the succes
sor of the Rising Sun.
The deceased continued the publica
tion of The Herald until in 1SS4, when
The News was merged into The
Herald, and the publication continued
by Mr. T. F. Greneker as Tite Herald
and News.
Mr. Greneker was in bad health for a
number of years, and in 188.5 lie re
tired from active journalism, being
succeeded by his son-in-law, Mr.
A. C. Jones.
In March ISS7 the Herald and
News wassold by Mr. Jones to the
present publishers. About one year
ago Mr. Greneker received a fall by
which his thigh was fractured and from
that time to his death he was confined
to his house, although he recovered
and was able to walk about the house
with the use of a crutch.
Mr. Greneker was the founder of this
paper; and for nearly forty years was
identified w ith the journalism of this
county. The best years of his life and
his energy and intellect were spent
here in our midst in an effort to ad
vance the true interests of his adopted
town and county and of his native
State.
He was one of the organizers of the
State Press Association and was
elected Treasurer at the first meeting.
He was a consistent member of the
Methodist Church and died in the as
suranceof a blissful immortality be
yond the grave.
The life of the editor of a country
newspaper is one of many trials and
hardships and much labor, but if his
head and heart properly direct his pen
it is difficult to estimate the power and
magnitude of his intluence for good.
Though an invalid for a long time,
andl while hisdeath was not unexpected,
yet'deathi at all times and ulnder al
cirumnstancs carries a sadness with it.
He had a large circle of acqluaintances

VLTHE LEGI SLATURE.
Not very iiiuch work has yet been
(Ione although ma n:y imTIportalt lneas

A bill has nassed the Iou'e reducing
the salaries of the State otlicers by a
vote of 5 to 38.
A bill has also pa:ssed the House
making the state license for the retal
ing of whsisykey $o.
A marriage license law was passed
by the House after rI1uch discussion,
bat it is thought will be killed in the
Senate.
Th Leg_islattire has the election of
Railroad ('toinlmi 5ioners, two Circuit
.J udges, in place of Judges Pressley and
Aldrich, and a (',mnuiissioner of Agri
culture.
Mlr. Pope has introduced a bill in the
Senate to renew and a,nenld the char
ter of the. town of Newberry; Mr.
Mower, to establislh Graded ch-ools in
Newberry; by Mr. Mower, also, to
provide separate coaches for whites andi
blacks on the railroads.
)etition has been sent to ourt dee
gation to repeal the law establishing
the Rutherford :chool District in this
county, but we are inforne ; a;:
other petition will be forw.re,, :ad if
is likely the law will stand as at pres
ent.
It is too early in the session yet to
give much idea of the legislation of this
session. Business is accumulating very
rapidly and from the number of new
measures brought forward, there will
be a session of much work, either in
enacting laws or refusing proposed
laws.
We have always beei of the opinion
that we had too much legislation in
this State.
A bill has been prop,sc(i to prohibit
children working ill cotton inils,
which has arouscd the cottol mill
men. it is an important matter and
we give the following from yesterday's
News and Courier:
Mr. T1upper's bitl prohibiting the
employmenlt in factories of eildren
under 13 years (14 had been the age
originally nalmed, but it was subse
4uently noodilied,) has made a great
stir among the cotton factories of the
State, and representatives of inills in

Col. Italnmett, Capt. iSnmyth and

other things they~ claim that its eil'ect
would be to drive umuch (If their labor

Georgia, where no such laws existed.

( not he given the young men, Messrs.
Kibler, Wheeler and Whites, who so
heroically battled with the flames in
the face of eminent danger. The cause
of the fire was from a defective flue.
The damage done is fortunately light.
The time will come when it will be too
ee late, that the property holders of this
town will awake to the sense of the
its necessity of having an organized fire
department. A few years ago a num
o ber of our best young men organized
s themselves into a fire company, and
9i the Town Council failed to encourage
them even to the extent of absolving
them from street tax. They argued
eft that if these young men were not re
quired to pay street duty, that they,
ay the prope ty holders would have to pay
a tax on their property. Shades of
rry Ciesar! A town to build up without a
in tax. Yet this is the true status of Pros
perity's city government. The man
ity who owns $10.000 worth of property,
-m.. and whose tenants and hirelings and
ore buggies and wagons and teams daily
the pass and repass over these streets of
be Prosperity, pays no more tax than the
Iral 10 year old boy who has not a dollar's
for worth of property in the world, and if
eg- he happens to be 60 years old he pays
none. Talk about justice, forsooth
Al justi-e in taxpaying in Prosperity is a
rar- sound without a meaning. When the
uit 'iown Council of Prosperity refused to
ith- relieve the fire company from .treet
ee tax, these young men did exactly right
in disbanding. I give them credit for
tly their manliness. A clumsy ladder and
