Severe Illness Of the County Treasurer.

In justice to the County Treasurer we state
that on Tuesday of last week he was taken dan
gcrously i'll and on Friday last was confined to
his bed unable to meet the holders Of school
cllims at Union on that day as he advertised to
do. He came to town last Tuesday, but it was
very apparent that he was too weak to attend to
much business, and, from the nature of his dis
ease, we think he riskcd much in travelling and
attempting to do any business at all this hot
weather. If his effort on Tuesday does not
cause return of the disease, he expects to be
well enough to attend to the duties of his Office
in n few days. Sickness is always taken as a
valid excuse for absence from duty, and those
who know the severity Of the Treasurer's sick
ness will readily excuse him.

A Union Boy Takes the Prize.

1t is with no common feelings of pride and
qualification that we publish the following tri :
umph Of young man who was born and raised
in Union County:
Mr.. George w. Gage, young South Carroll
nian and graduate of Wofford College. Spartan
burg. who has been studying law at Vanderbilt
University, Tenn, graduated few days ago
and took the highest stand in his class. having
won the Founders Gold Medal awarded by
the faculty of the law department at the late
commencement. Since the opening of the Uni
versity of Vanderbilt this makes the third in
stance where young men from South Carolina
have carried off the honors of the institution.
We understand that George has selected the
busy and progressive city of Atlanta in which
to locate aud practice the profession of law, and
we are confident his bright talents aud pure
m,ral character will soon command for him n
front place among the many notable men of the
Gate City bar. Success attend you, George.
