OBITU AIRY.

DIED, on the 25th Of June last, at the
residence OF her son, Mr.. David c. Bull
lack, in the soventy-ninth year Of her
age, Mrs. FANNIE BULLOCK.
Most truly may it be said, that in the
death of this good woman, A mother
in Israel has fallen"
For tho greater part sQf her long and
useful life, she was consistent member
of the Baptist Church at Fellowship,
adorning her profession with an upright
walk and Cody conversation. Within
this brief tribute to her memory, a de-
tail'of her many virtues is unnecessary.
Those who knew her best, may recount
them, and in doing so, must lovo her
most.
Few women Of her age spent more oil
her long life at the bedside OF the suffer
ing and afflicted, ,-ministering to their
wants, nursing and omtorting the sick
and diving, as did Mrs Fannie Bullock.
Long will she be remembered as the
"good Smaritan" by whose kind and
skillful hands much of carth's sorrow
and pain was alleviated or relieved.
Under all circumstances-and some OF
the sorest trials of life-she was ever
cheerful; never depressed; always SUP
ported by the grace of God, in whom she
humbly trusted, and upon whose word
she ever leaned and found comfort. She
lived the life, and died the death OF the
righteous.
Like q shock of wheat, fully ripe, she
was gathered into the garner above, meet
ing death calmly. With 10 chill OF fear
she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep, ,.,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes"

by keeping this unworthy man in office.
The meeting at Liberty Hill was ad-
dressed as it is said, by DR.. John A.
Barker and MeDevitt. Lord save us
from doctors and county treasurers..il
not, fear the Republican party in this
county is at its last gasp, for any assem-
bly, of respectable and honest men who
csln stomach and endorse the conduct OF
McDevitt .is county treasurer OF Edge
field county and John "A. Barker, the
degraded jury commissioners, are unrlt
TO be recognized as decent men and mem
'bers of the real Republican party of this
county.
Th- following data will show whether
McD Dewitt is entitled to the commenda
tipn ut the 40 called meeting OF Republi-
cans at Liberty Hill. In regard 10 his
official conduct, Med Dewitt, county treasu
rer; has received en-, official account up
to the date herein mentioned, the follow
ing amounts for school purposes.
May the lst, 1873, No. of check 1863, on
the Bank and Trust Company, amount
81 ,495. .65 May the 2nd, 1879, No: of check
1,47l, on the Bank and Trust Company
amount $40, ,254.35; amount received from
| P. A. Eichelberger. Sl,700. Totai Sl3 ,45O
This amount is to be charged to Nc;
Dewitt as county treasury, and he should
discharge himself. by proper vouchers
before he is discharged from liability
for his receipt Of tlepublic fund. Public
meetings are not legally authorized
bodies-even where they arc not bogus
to relieve public officers from liability
or their official bonds, and McDevitt
must show clear statement in the Edge
field AdrertiSer and other papers, before
the people can give him credit for even .
report--to say nothing OF a good report
One word rul ther rs regards the above
mentioned meeting, held at Liberty Hill
| I have conclusive evidence from citizens
present at said meeting, that there was
no resolution offered or authorized to be
published by said chairman, and that
tho said meeting consisted, of aboutl2(
voters. D l. TURNER,

The Panic ,Subsiding.

The New York Herald, of October 3,
says: "rhe tone of the market, to-day
was greatly improved, the information
received from various quarters of the
Union indicating return of confidence,
less difficulty in the distribution of mon
ey, the receipt of larger means for the
movements of crops, greater ability Oh
the part of banks to meet the demands
of customers, the breaking up of hoards
and altogether better feeling. This has
been reflected in the speculative and
business centres of the metropolis. Cred
it is power which may grow but can
not be constructed. Credit in business
is like loyalty IN government, while dis
trust is the basis of panic. We are re-
covering from foolish fears, and in the
end it will be found that we have been
frightened only by bubble.

THE ADVERTISER.
Edrefield, s. c., Oct. .. 1873.
The Charleston a:nicipal Election to


In another part of our issue of this
week may be found an article which will
give our readers some idea of the enor-
nous and audacious rascality by which
the Radical party carried the municipal
election in Charleston Truly the ex
eesses of these wretches in South Carroll
ma exceed anything ever recorded in
history And General Government
which allows any State To be thus over,
ridden, is infinitely worse than no gov
ernment at all.
So undeniably lawles> and utterly
shameless were the means used by the
Radicals in this election, that ths Con-
servative population Of tho city are
thoroughly indignant and aroused. On
Monday, at noon, they assembled togetl'
er in an immense mass meeting, which
meeting formally declared the said cleo
ton to he null and void, and called upon
the present Mayor and Aldermen to re-
tain their offices until their successors
shall be legally elected,
Upon this subject the Charleston Neir'
e C5urier speaks as follows:
The Impression has gone abroad that
n ,thing is to be gained by contesting OF
protesting the late election. We grant
that any irregularities on the part OF the
managers would certainly be winked al
by the commissioners. 1t is useless tc
ask Of the commissioners any decision
right or wrong, which will hurt theil
| own party. But the commissioners them
selves have been guilty of the most wan
ton misconduct. They have not observ'
ed the law in any respect. The election
is void because of their delinquency
and they cannot, and shall not, sit IL
Judgment on themselves. 1t next ask
ed, Chow can we get into the courts z
We do not desire this. Mayor lPagene'
and all his Aldermen arc the tagfut Mag
or and Aldermen of the City Of Charles
ton, and m,ust hold their offices uata then
I successors are duty elected. The Bogus
Mayor and Aldermen may get them out
if they can. In that way they get into
the courts, and in no other way.
