As a mark of respect the business houses were closed during the funeral. The services were conducted by Rev W A Fairy, pastor of Kings tree Methodist church, who with simple pathos recited the life-storv of the deceased; he dwelt touch ingly upon his last illness and expressed the firm belief that he whose soul was just launched into eternity went with the assurance that his sins had been pardoned through the grace of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ. After the service many viewed the remains, now cold and insensate, of him they knew in life pulsing V'ith vim and energy.

His father, David Richard Kennedy, was a merchant. His mother was Mrs Margaret Ann (Holleman) Kennedy. He is descended from sterling Scotch ancestry. , His early life was passed in the I mnntrv hp hnH trood common school I advantages, and he studied at the Camden academy; but his father's means were not sufficient to permit j him a more advanced course of study at college. At 17 he obtained a clerkship in one of the large dry goods houses at Charleston, and he continued in the employ of that house until the outbreak pf the War between the States. Enlisting promptly in the Confederate army, he served in the Rutledge Mounted Rifles, and later in Capt Z Davis' company from Charleston, South Carolina. After the war be became a merchant and incidentally a planter, settling atlndiantown, Williamsburg county. Prospering in his business, he purchased a valuable plantation which he worked in such a way as to {five him wide influence among the plant-: ers of his section. In the gloomy days of 1876 Mr Kennedy was elected captain of a i large company which was organized near where he lived; and that company rendered valuable service in th^ threatening months of political and ] social disturbances in that year. On the 10th of November, 1867,' Captain Kennedy married Miss Julia Everett Scott, daughter of John E and Mary McCrea (Gordon) Scott, of Williamsburg. She was a grad' uate of a woman's college; and they ! have had six children, all daughters, 1 who are also all graduates of women's colleges. Three of their daugh! daughters were living in 1907. Captain Kennedy is connected ! with the Methodist Episcopal church, ! South. In political convictions he | is a Democrat,and he adds: "I was a 1 strong and uncompromising'Straight! out' in 1876; chairman of the Wilj liamsburg county delegation to the j convention which nominated Wade ; Hampton, and a charter member of the Democratic party of my county; jr Entire Stocl BRAN ill be Sacrificed k r O K L) II be closed out at < tods, Latest Style C E'S MERCA s*?*? ??*? ?

He is an extensive land-owner, possessed of about 3,000 acres. In 1892 and 1893 Captain Kennedy was elected to the Legislature, declining to run again, though his constituents earnestly desired him to continue to represent them. \ He is an aide de-camp on General Zimmerman Davis' staff, U nitec Confederate veterans. Captain Kennedy has found trave to the mountains or to tne sea ior a 1 month in the summer the form oi relaxation and change which has enabled him to do effective work. To the young men of South Carolina he commends as the key to success, "thrift, industry, promptness and absolute sobriety."

About two million pounds were sold on this market last year* while this year the number of pounds may reach three million. This is the second year of the Kingstree market, and the growers seem encouraged at the prospect of the future of this money crop. Today's offerings would have been considerably larger but for the fact the farmers are engaged in curing, and trying to get the grass out of cotton. Sales will continue here until Noj vember and are expected to increase las the season progresses. It is in I WilliomcKnror emintv that, the famous "Pudding Syramp" tobacco is produced, whicfc is regarded as one o? the finest varieties grown. Now that j a regular market has been established : here it is predicted that tobacco will soon become one of the chief money . crops of the county, the others being ! cotton and trucking. Kingstree is particularly blessel in this respect; few towns are favored by such rich back country, producing three money crops, besides other products known in this section.?
