Death OF Col. B. T.. isiktra.

Col. Baylis e. Elkin, of this county,
died at his home near lsidgoway at al
early hour on Sunday morning last.
Ills teaith mad been failing for some
time, and for few months before his
death he was confined to his house.
lie was about titty-fivc years of age
and leaves q wife and seven children.
The funeral services took place on
Alonday morning, under the auspices
OF the Ridgeway Masonic Lodge.
Colonel Elkin was a son of the late
David Elkin, and had speut his whole
life among the people Of this county.
lie served during the entire war as
field commissary Of cavalry regiment,
dischargiig all his duties and bearing
all the hardships Of active. service with
fidelity and gallantry. He won the
confidence and respect Of officers and
inen alike. at the close Of the war
he returned to his home and engaged
IN farming. lie was elected to seat
in the House Of Representatives Or
ganiZcd under President Johnson's
plan Of reconstruction, and served I'M
til the Ncw scheme Of Congress was
put in force. Later on he took all
active part il the establishment Of the
Tax Unions, and he was at one time
President Of the Fairfield organization,
and delegate to the Taxpayers Con-
vention Of 1875. When tho Democ-
racy organized for the struggle of
1876, Ire took an active part IN all tho
proceedings looking to the union and
tho success Of our people. He was a
delegate to the State Convention hold
in May, 1876, and Was afterwards q
member Of the Democratic County Ex-
ccutlve Committcc-at tho same time
serving rs tho vicc-president Of the
Ridgcway Club. His work in the
campaign was .uutiring, in the highest
degree. No man ever devoted himself
more zcalousIy to any object than he
did to the cause Of the people in their
struggle to throw off the yoke and
burden of corruption and nassrulo. In
1877 he was, without solicitation on
his part, appointed trial justice, and
held that position till he resigned last
Dcconbcr-a sufficient evidence Of the
manner in which he discharged the
duties Of the office. He engaged in
taking the census of 1880, and his
work bears every evidence Of pains
taking and Of OH unusual familiarity
with tho section of country under his
charge. TO this work he brought an
intimate knowledge of the county and
tho people. 1t is safe to say that no
mans acquaintance with orr people
was moro extensive than Colonel El-
kin's. His manner and his tastes led
naturally to this result. Possessed OF
moro than ordinary Intelligence, he
was social, obscrvant and companion.
able. He was true to his friends, and
true to his State, on every occasion
which called him TO discharge any
duty to either. Ills death will be
widely mourncd, and he will be kind.
~ remembered by hosts of people in
Fairfield, OH account Of his many good
qualities.

WINNsB6ib, January II, 1888.
Mr.. j. NJ. BEATY-D Dear Sir: Al.
though ! am O man Of no means; still
atm determined to do what Gun for tho
good Of Wimnsboro. l was very sorry
when you let the question Of the pro-
posed Factory drop. think that if
you had persevercd you would have
succeeded, and by this time we would
have had the factory>in running order.
And If you could do so much then. how
much more can you do nowS Tho
county is now I'M a great deal better
condition than it was at tiat time.
And IN my opinion if the moncycd
men Of the town will make a united
effort We soon shall boast Of factory.
If you go to work hid raisd say
$4,000 in this county, and show that
you arc in earnest, you will have no
difficulty in raising $4,000 more out
side of the county. There Id money
in Charleston, Columbia, Chester,
York. Lancaster aud other places that
would come up and help us if we
would help ourselves. We are power
fully behind the times; We have only
one outlet, and that is the reason we
have SO much tfouble with frcights.
IT We only commence we will have
Northern capital at our command, Ind
who can tell what yet may be the
future Of our little Boro2 One such
undertaking will lead to others. Be-
fore close 1 will tell you something
that heard 1nan Of this county say.
Hc had just invested his money in the
etock OF factory in Union, and when
asked why he did not subscribe to the
Winnsboro Factory, he said, "Thcy do
not show enough go-ahead spirit for
me-" Now he is like great many
others. II you will 20 at it like men
who arc determined to Garry it
through, why you will have no trouble.
Hoping you will have the iiiost abund-
ant success, 1 remain, yours,
ga WELL-WisHER."
