Death of a Young Lady Just Budding into Noble Womanhood. Miss Alice Stoll died at the family residence on Pinckney street last Friday. She was the youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Stoll, and was twenty-two years of age. For several months she had been on the decline and for the past few weeks was confined to her bed. Prior to the gradual decline she had always been healthy and vigorous and was budding iuto noble womanhood when disease laid its hand upon her. Miss Alice was educated at Columbia Female college. She also attended college awhile at Williamston. She was a member of the Methodist church and look active part in Sabbath school work. In demeanor, she was quiet and dignified, and retiring in disposition. High toned and honorable, she was admired and loved by all who knew her. She did not take part in worldly social pleas ures, beings retiring and reserved almost to the point of timidity. She was a kind and affectionate sister .1 A A ium ucwlcu uauguici.

As one of the defeated candidates . 1 I desire space in your paper to ex press many thauks to those who supported me in the recent primary and assnre those who saw fit to cast their 1 votes for others that I have the kind- 1 est feelings toward them. Having been called to the bedside i of my sick mother in Florence county a few days before the election there were some undue advantages | taken of my absence; but I have no fight to make on any one and am de- ^ sirious of returning good for evil. I feel quite sure that my position while a member of the Legislature is misunderstood by many of my fel- 1 low-citizens, which time only can vindicate. I can truthfully say that 1 every act of mine and every vote I cast was for the best interests of ray | county ana btute ana not troni a | personal or selfish motive. , Whether or not I am ever elected to any other public office I shall ever feel in my heart the profoundest , gratitude for the support given me by my fellow-citizens two years ago, and I shall prove to them by an upright walk in life my appreciation of the same. In the future, as in past I shall continue to serve my < God and do to my fellow-men as I won Id have them do to me. And now for the upbuilding of old Williamsburg and the betterment of all mankind, Yours truly, J. Davis Caktbr. Leo, S. C., September 9, 1902. Ladies skirts going at I cost WitKiars.

Mr C M Davis is elected Senator from Clarendon over Editor Louis Appelt This election was closely contested. John Gary Evans is defeated for the United States Senate by Asbury C Latimer. Latimer may be the < better man, but we doubt it. Another member of the "Fourth Estate" who will sit in the General Assembly is Hon John Bell Towill of Lexington county. This is Brother Towill's second term and the handsome majority accorded him shows that he "stands in" with the men behind the votes. We are gratified to note that our good friend, Dr J C Mace, editpr of the Marion Star, went in by a handsome majority on the first ballot as a member of the House of Representatives from his county. Dr Mace is a genial, courteous gentleman who will worthily wear the honor bestowed upon him. ? Georgetown county is kind to L er newspaper men. Mr Josiah Doar,\ editor of the Times, went in on the first primary for county snperinteii* dent of education, and Editor J Walter Doar, of the Outlook, had no trouble in getting elected to the Legislature. A Card. Editor County Record:?
