Why Suspicion Rests
Upon Mr. Sharp.
Mr. Wm. P. Sharp, salesman for
} G. E. Gluxon, the monument man of
Spartanburg, tells one on himself.
. Some weeks ago the press circulated
an account of a widow who
erected one monument to seven husbands
graves. Under a pointing
hand she had "Seven Up" inscribed.
Mr. Sharp says naturally enough the
public asked htm about this widow
for they knew he sold everybody else.

Very Sad Death at Joncsville.

at Jonesville Monday morning at 5
o'clock after a week's sickness. Col.
and Mrs. II. D. Floyd, her uncle aud
aunt, with whom she lived prior to her
marriage were with her during her final
sickness.
The death of this scorn plished and
popular young woman and a bride of
only a few months, will be a shock to
her many friends and acquaintances iu
this city where she spent her childhood
and youth She was a graduate of Converso
College and directly after securing
her diploma engaged in teaching. Shs
was a young woman of a high type of
character and sunny disposition and
aatural ability.
The remains of Mis. Hames were interred
in the cemetery at Jonesville

being conducted by Rev. I-iewis M.

The weather for the last day or so has
been quite cold, and people can do little
but make fires and sit by them.
The Christmas holidays are about at
end with most people, and they are beginning
to look around to find some
work needing to be done. Others, of
course, never get done f r olicking. They
are not in the oauuty with the other
class.
We haven't seen Mr. T Jeff Hughes
since the holidays set in. Don't know
where he has been keeping himself.
But suppose he is still in the ring, and
has enjoyed himself, and made others do
so too. If they didn't its their own
fault. Uncle Jeff will cure the blues

If he cant, they are very serious.

heartily commend to our readers. Its

Many of our farmers will run wild on
the cotton planting subject next spring.
18 cts. cotton is a new departure. We
heard a middle aged man who has farmed
all his life say not long ago that he never
in life sold a bale of ootton for 10 cts. a
pound until last year.
A good deal of moving about is going
on in this community.
Last week the colored people had an
up-to-date wedding on Fowler Bros
place. It was ahead of anything of the
kind yet not <1 by jour correspondent.
We are told that not le3S than 250 colored
people were present. There were
10 tables averaging from 10 to 20 persons
each. The friends of the contracting
parties mostly brought their baskets and
helped to furnish the table with eliblai

number of white people went to see the
marriage and one lady of experience said
it was the second time In her life she
had ever seen a marriage with a bridal

Jill, white, of Iliokory Grove. If this
statement doeatn't strike our readers
merely as an ostenatious affair, it will
couvince them that the -colored people
are trying to make something of themselves,
Its a fact worth notice that
when colored people make any claim to
decency and respectability they procure

class of white people, much more than
the low down riff raff among the

DEATH OF JUNE MOD LEY.
He was at one Time a Leading
Radical?Rose From Slave
to Legislator.
June 8. Mobley, the gray-haired
colored pastor of Revelation chapel,
corner of Plain and Gadsden streets,
who for 12 years has unostentatiouslived
in Columbia, walking the streets
as other colored peoplo of his class,
unknown to many and forgotten by
all but a few who intimately knew
him in his day of greatness, wus laid
away on the hillside yesterday to
sleep with the slaves of ante-bellum
days.
Before the Reconstruction in 1S70,
June Mobley was a power in South
Carolina politics, and had absolute
control of the Republican party of
Union county, from which ho was
elected to the house of representatives
continuously from 1808 until
1872, when ho was beaten for the senate
by Thomas B. Jeter, who afterwards
became governor. Mobley
was aubsobuently olected to the .
houso and was in every race for the
ill tOTO * * -
pmcc uuuu io(o wnen ne gave up and
retired to private lifo.
A gentleman in the city yesterday
stated that he remembered a dramatic
ino'dent of the '78 election. "I
was a member of the Democratic executive
committee ot Union county
and Mobley was chairman of the Republican
executive committee and
had been for a number of years.
Mobley had lost three races for the
house and his hopes were high for
success, but as tho returns came in
Mobley lost heart and exhibited
signs of weakness for the first time
revealed to the Democrats. Finally
the crucial moment arrived, the returns
from the precincts were being
counted upon which decided his fate.
When the count was made known
Mobley threw up his hands and exclaimed,
'Gentlemen, I will be damned
if there is anything left for me to
do but go to preaching.' "
* * *
Mobley went through the war as a
body servant, and afterwards defeated
for the legislature his former master,
for whom, however, he always
professed regard. June someUmwu
attended Kopublican pow-wows at
the State capitol in recent years, but
his speeches fell on unlistening ears,
Ho was a back number. His last
stand for a political or semi-political
job was when he endeavored to be uppointed
chaplain for a regiment of
negro troops in the Spanish-American
war.?Tho State, 4th.
News From Jjasf Union.
I notice in "Progress" of Deccmletter
the writer mentions the Christ- "
mas tree which we had here at Monarch
for the benefit of the Monaroh ;
and Aetna children. The writer of '
"Notes from Monarch" arid that
"The Monarch Mill Co. <jave each
little child under nine (9) years of
age, who was not a member of the
O J Ci 1 . 1 *
ounuay ocnooi, a sack containing
candy, orunges and raisins." Anyone
reading this letter would think
that the Monarch children were the
only ones allowed to participate. As
I was one of the committee I know
how much money was raised with
which to buy presents for the children
at both mills, between the ages
of 3 and 1.5, whether a member of
the Sunday School or not, got a
present. The following arc the
names of the gentlemen who so nobly
gave the money so that the children
at these two mills might spend a
happy evening:
Pres. J. A. Fant, Monarch Mill, $20
Monarch Mill 20
Supt. Summey, Monarch Mill, 5
Pres. W. II. Sartor, Aetna Mill, 10
ltev. Poston, Pastor Vlon-Aetna, 5
This gave us $00, and as there
were 350 children between 3 and 15
years of age, the reader can easily ^
.-ii i ?- -
ion uun iuuuu money we nad to /
expend on each child. In addition
to,the sack containing c indy, oranges 1
and raisins, wo gave each child a
suitable as well as useful present
Some got dolls, some vases and others
chinaware. No one complained,
all were happy. Of course we older
ones were happy in seeing the
younger ones so delighted. It would
have done anyone good to h/vo
looked in and seen the happy, expectant
faces of the children as they
received their sacks containing
"candy, oranges and raisins"?-and
this other present. I have never
seen a prettier Christmas tree nor a
more orderly crowd than we had.
We spent a joyous evening never to
be forgotten by all the participants
and we feel deenlv ffrmpfnl tr*
- - TV v.?v?wi w vuvoc
men who gavo their money so that
our children might spend a pleasant
evening. When the whistles blew
the following Monday morning every
one was at their place ready for another
year's work. Now children,
let's see if we cannat do better work,
each one serving his employer and
bis Master better than in the year
past. I only write this for fear that
an erroneous impression might be
taken from "Notes from Monarch."
