STRICKEN AS A FLOWER.
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

The funeQ^ which was conducted
by the young lady's pastor, Rev. G.
P. Watson, assisted by Revs. G. M.
Boyd, J. S. Moffatt and D. N. McLauchlin,
was solemn and impressive.
The sympathy of this community
goes out to this bereaved family in
their hour of darkness and trial?

At 6 o'clock last Saturday "morning
Mr. Lewis G. Spivey died at his
Lome near Salters, after a short illness
of malarial fever. The remains
were brought to Kingstree
Sunday afternoon and in the presence
of a large assemblage of relatives
and friends consigned to their
last resting-place at the Williamsburg
cemetery. The solemn and
impressive service for the burial of
the dead was read by Rev. H. J.
Cauthen, pastor of the Methodist
ohurch.
Mr. Snivi?v \r.os horn in Tlnhpsnn
County, N. C., January 4, 1861, and
was therefore forty-one years of age.
His residence in this county covered
a period of about five years. He
was esteemed and respected by his
neighbors and his death is generally
deplored. For many years he was
a communicant of the Baptist
church. He leaves a wife and two
children, who with his aged parents
and other relatives, are bereaved by
his loss.
Having purchased twenty five
sacks coffee, I am prepared to give
my customers big bargains. Drop

Editor County Record:?
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.

Pay your election bets.
Hurrah for Governor Heyward.
The "I told you so" -man is now
in evidence.
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.
