said, "take care of your health. Imagine

liable to all workers. We are apt to devote
all our energies to welding the oars, our
strokes fall firm and, hrgt but few of us e1-

DEATH OF MRS. DR.. M1LLwEE.

The sad event here recorded took place at
the residence of her husband, Dr.. w. B.
MiIwee, in the town of Greenwood on the
14th inst, after an illness Of only half hours
duration. Her passor-has beautifully por-e
trayed the estimable character of Mrs. Mill
wee in on obituary notice, but We cannot
avoid expressing Ioha high appreciation Of
one SO greatly endeared to many friends in
this community. Mrs. Millwee was an nc
tive, enegetic and faithful e1emplar of be:
neyolei,ce, and enriched the circle Of her
life with the brightest deeds Of, an enduring
charity. An. incident: occurred a few years:
ago which gave prominence to her kindly
tisposition, when she rendered such valua-
BILE assistance to the ladies Of this communi-
ty in enhancing the attractions of the Ma
sonic Fair, contributing by her great taste
and inventive genius to the unbounded snc-
cess of the movement, which appealed to
her sympathies from a charitable point OF
vi view. Her life was succession of good
deeds, and we have alluded to this incident
because so many of our readers were cogniz-
ant Of the facts. She was the third daugh-
ter of the late W. A. Williams, Esq, the
founder of Williamson.

OBITUARY..


DIED, in Greenwood, Abbeville County, s. G., on
the night of the 14th inst, MRS. SARAH ANN
MILLWEE, wife of DR.. w. B. Millwee in the 46th
year Of her age.
Her death was sudden md unexpected. Her
health, which for several years past had beon fee
.ble was regarded by her husband as much better
for some months past. For number of years she
had been member of the Presbyterian Church,
first in Williamson and then in Greenwood. In
the latter place she united with the ladies Of the
Rock Church in the formation of Society to raise
funds to assist in the completion of new house Of
worship. A short time ago she was chosen by the
ladies as President of their Society. They were
encouraged, from the increased interest which was
soon developed, that they would succeed In doing
much to aid the Church in her straitened circum-
Her invention of certain Chsrts for cutting and
fitting ladies and childrens' dresses on scientific
principles, eyinced uncommon genius; which was
further confirmed by her success in relieving seve-
raj children of hernia by cushioned models Of her
! The poor, the sick and the destitute were often
the objects of her kind attention, and many who
had shared her hberality while she lived, entered
her chamber after her death. and as with tears
they gazed upon her faded form, they spoke OF her
many acts of kindness to them in by-gone days.
She appeared as well as usual on the evening Of the
14th inst She retired at her usual hour but after
a short time she spoke to her husband and said
that she was strangely affected, and that she was
something she rarely ever did. He prepared some
antidote which he hastily administered to her.
Three other physicians living close by were hur-
riedly called in; but alas even before they reach
ed her room 1t was the chamber Of death. Early
the next morning the whole town was surprised and
saddened with grief to hear of her hasty departure
into the world Of spirits. ---'.
On Friday, the 18th inst, at o'clock p. m, her
funeral services in the Presbyterian Church were
attended by an unusually large concourss Of peo-
pie some Of her relatives and friends being pres
ont from Greenyille, from Anderson and from
Donaldsville. After the service her remains were
inferred in. the Greenwood Cemetery.
In the death of this excellent lady the commit
nifty, but especially her friends and relatives, have
sustained an irreparable loss. They are Rcheered,
however, with the hope that death is gain to her,
and that now since the earthly house Of her taber
nacle Is dissolved she has entered the building Of
God, and dwells in that house notmade with hands,
eternal In the heavens"

THE cow LAW.

The Town Council has repealed the ordi-
nance to prevent cattle from running ut
large upon the streets of Anderson, and the
result is that persons coming here with
wagons are again worried by having the
food stolen from their horses. The reason
for; the repeal Of the ordinance is based
upon the fact that question has been made
as to its validity. We regret the action OF
the Council. The ordinance was ID good
one, and required by the traamg public who
come to town with teams which they wish
to feed. Every city or town of importance
in the State of which we have any knowi-
edge has similar law, and ours should not
have been repealed. The business interests
of the town. as we'll as its cleanliness, need
the re-enactment of the ordinance, and we
trust that the Council, which represents the
citizens Of the town, will have the indepen-
dence to sustain their rights, even If q decis-
ion of the courts may have to be invoked
n,pon it. If other places can sustain such
am ordinance we can.

CLOSING THE, BOOKS.

TIE advertisement Of the Special Agent
informs the taxpayers of Anderson County
that instructions have been received to close
the books for the reception of the ten per
cent. contribution on account of taxes on
Thursday nezt, 5sh Of april. Only one week
| is allowed, therefore, in which to testify al
legiance in this substantial manner to the
Hampton government. The promptness
and readiness with which so many tax
payers responded to the call, when it was
originally made nearly three months ago,
was largely instrumental in fixing the pub
lie mind abroad in ths belief that Governor
Hampton alone would be sustained in the
occupation of the executive Office. 1t has
been powerful factor, towards concentra-
ting public opinion in the Northern States,
and impressing the idea that the people
were determined to sustain their choice for
Governor. In Anderson County, abouttwo
thousand taxpayers have paid nearly fye-
eighths of the sum total expected from the
ten per cent. More than three thousand
persons have not yet paid this tax. AS the
books are to be closed, the opportunity for
aiding in this work of patriotism will soon
be ended, and those who desire to place
themselves upon the record must act forth
with. The peculiar situation of affairs at
this moment renders it doubly important
that every man shall come forward and con-
tribute the ten per cent. at once, for it will
prove incontestibly that they are not lag
ging behind their neighbors for any selfish
purpose, but are willing to give their sub
stance in aid of the government they sought
to establish at the ballot-box. The fact is
apparent that many persons areunable even
to give so small an amount, but there are
hundreds of others. who are both sble, and
willing, that do, not consider il matter of
great importance for them to enroll them
selves among the active and unqualified
supporters of the Hampton government,
because the sum asked for is deemed by
them as too Insignificant. This is great
mistake, especially at the present time, and
a large increase Of receipts now would have
q most wholesome effect at home and abroad.
We do not urge anyone to pay who is not
in thorough sympathy with the Hampton
nor are we seeking to con:
vince any one that Governor Hampton was
duly elected. This question has been de-
cided by nearly every tribunal in the State.
The only appeal we make is that those who
are willing and able shall not let slip the
to swell the record with their
names, because we believe it will have a
beneficial effect upon our cause.
