Dctrict, Dr.. WILLIAM SIMKINS M0BLEY,
in the 6fty-eishth year Of his age.
This announcement will be received with sad
moss and profound sorrow by many friends
throughout The State of South Carolina.
The early part Of his manhood he devoted to
the practice Of medicine, and by tho faithful and
conscientious discharge of his professional duties,
won the confidence and esteem of all with whom
he camo in contact, and thus WAS laid the founda-
ti"n of his great personal popularity. by the
diliycnt application Of his active and energetic
mind 10 lis business, ho was successful, and had
accumulated Il handsome fortune, much OF which
he lived to see skcn from him as q result Of the
late war.
The deceased was personally very popular
man in his own District and was often returned
as one of the Representatives for the District oi
Edretield in the Legislature of the State, and
rotaincd the undiminnhed confidence Of the peo-
nile of his District to the day Of his doath. AS

with whom ho was associated. Nor was he with
out very considerable amount Of influence in
that body.
In his immediate neighborhsod and eommuni-
ty he was eminently q leader, and loader the
whole weight of whoao character anA influence
was directed in favor Of virtue and morality In
the great Revival OF Religion in the year 1881.
bo ioined tho Baptist Church at Little Stevens
Creek in Rdgefeld District, and afterwards trans
ferred his membership to tho Red Bank Church,
of which he was for many years, and until his
death, Deacon.
In his private and social relations ho illustra-
ted the character Of tho Christian gentleman, at
all times and under all circumstances regarding
the rights and the feelings of others. 1t can
safely be asserted IF him, that, at the time OF
his death, he had az largo measure of the love and
esteem of those who kneV him as any man who
has ever lived in Ed;eseld District. And no
no man could bo more missed in bis own neigh

Important Release.

We congratulate Messrs. j. c. and Robert
Keyes, E. w. Byrem and F. G. Showers, upon
their release, last Saturday, at Wilmington
Delaware, before Judge Hall, upon writ of
AaJeas corpus.
These gentlemen have been under arrest
for the past thirteen nonths-subjected, in
many instances. to more than the usual in.
dignities Of prison life, coupled with an at
sence from tnpir families AMI avocatons.
Our readers will remember their conyie-
ton bef3ie military tribunal, in Charleston,
upon charge of the murder Of ,bree Federal
soldiers, ct Browns Ferry, in Anderson Dis
tric., and how they we're apparently spirited
away from Castle inckuey, after their SEN
teuce of death had been coinmuted to imprls-
onment for life.
The case was ably argued by Col. Il.
Tompkps, of Washington, and Thomas Ba,
yard, for the prisoners, and the District At
torney AMI M. Booth, for the prosecution.
From personal interview with the gen
:leuien above. named, we are induced to cx
tend the thanks Of themselves and friends
for the many acts of kindness extended them
By the good people Of Delaware.
In ths decision aud release, We recognize
much that is gratifying AID encouraging
aside from the interest exciting in the per-
soral s..fety of the parties involved.
Aware that public interest, in this State
es, ecially, is keenly. alive in references t.
