Episcopal church, offered prayer, which was
followed by "Old Hundred" ;" by the band. Capt.
Law then briefly addressed the assemblage, re-
turning the thanks of the soldiery and citizens
to Mr.. McElreth for the music which he so
kindly rendered for the occasion. He knew that
some of the gentlemen composing the band were
not Southern men, but he was happy to know
that they could cheerfully join in paying just
tribute to patriotism. Without any attempt at
making an address, he then briefly paid glow
ing tribute to the dead soldiers of lost cause,
who
"On fames eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread
After Capt. Laws remarks, q salute Of three
volleys was fired when the band played requi-
um and the soldiers stacked arms to join in the
decoration of the graves. The graves Of all
soldiers received floral tribute alike-those
who fell for the "Lost Cause" as we'll as the
Federal soldiers who sleep in the same cemetery.
After the decoration of the graves in this Gem
terry was concluded the soldiers fell in line, and
accompanied by ladies and citizens, repaired to
the "old grave yard, >" near the Female College,
where also repose number of Confederate SOL
diers, and veterans of other wars. Among the
latter is the grave of a Revolutionary soldier, a
native Of York county, who was present at the
surrender OF LORD C0rnWallls, the lnscrlptlon OH
whose tombstone reads as follows: "James B.
Fulton; Revolutionary Patriot, l776. Died
April 26, 1s4s, aged s3 years." James Kuyken-
dal, a soldier Of the war of 1912, and Jerome
Kerr, soldier of the Mexican war, are also bu-
ried here. These graves, as well as those ofCon-
federate soldiers, received each floral tribute,
when the exercises were ended.
The soldiers marched to Main street and halted
near their armory, when they gave three cheers
for Mr.. s. B. McElreth and his band; and they
in turn gave three cheers for the Jenkins Rifles
and the Kings Mountain Cadets.

Military INSPECTION.

On Thursday afternoon last the Jenkins Rifles
and the Cadets of Kings Mountain Military
School were inspected by the Adjutant and In
spector General. Gen. Manigault arrived from
Rock Hill about o'clock P. NJ, but the inspec-
ton did not take place until $50, at which hour
the Jenkins Rifles, under command of Lieut..
Withers Adickes, marched to the grounds OF
the Kings Mountain Military School, where
they were joined by the corps of Cadets under
command of Sergt. R. M. Bratton. The two
companies were then formed together and drill
ed in battalion by Capt. Law, of the Rifles, and
afterwards went through the manual of arms
under their respective officers, when the inspec-
ton took place. The Cadets were first inspected,
and highly complimented by the General for
their soldierly bearing and proficiency in the
school of the soldier, rejecting honor upon an
institution of learning which had become his
torica. The Jenkins Rifles, numbering "a men,
rank and file, were then inspected, and they,
too, received unqualified compliments from the
inspecting officer, who pronounced them as
finely drilled and equipped as any company that
had vet appeared before him. He congratulated
Capt Law upon having under his command a
company the peer of any in the State, and con-
graduated the company no less upon the efficien-
cy and merit of it's officers. The review passed
off pleasantly and was creditable alike to men
and officers

Ford has been in ill-health for many
months, and his condition was made worse
by constant dread of being assassinated
in turn by some of James friends. he
went out home from this city yesterday,
and seemed greatly depressed. This morn
ing according to the specials from Rich
mond, he shot himself through the heart:
The weapon used was Colt of the largest
calibre. Ford was about "a years of age.
He joined the James gang in 1878, and rode
with the famous Jesse James until the
spring of 1882. He participated in several
train and stage robberies, and had the rep
utation of having killed Conductor West
fall in the Glendale train robbery and sew
eral other persons from time to time. In
April, 1882, under II promise of protection
from Thomas L. Crittendon, Governor of
Missouri, and a reward of $4,000, Charley
and his younger brother Bob, killed Jesse
James atSt. Joseph, Mo. They were speed
lily tried and sentenced to death, but the
Governor, true to his promise, granted. a
pardon, Charley has since been tried for
the murder of Wood Hite, a member of the
band, and for several robberies, but he was
acquitted in every instance, the Governors
compact being respected by the courts:
During the past eighteen months he had
been exhibiting himself in museums and
in strolling combinations as the remover OF
Jesse James.

LETTER FROM CHESTER.

CHESTER, May 13.-A meeting of the di-
rectors of the Agricultural, Mechanical and
Horticultural Association of Chester, York,
Lancaster and Fairfield was held at this
place on last Tuesday. The premiums in
the horse and cattle departments were
greatly increased. This will have the effect
of encouraging the exhibition Of fine stock.
The silver plate premiums were changed to
money in every department with the excep-
tion of the machinery department, in which
the premiums will consist for the most part
of medals. The amount of money spent in
premiums at the next Chester Fair will be
considerably greater than ever before.
The following resolution was passed by
the directors
Resolved That the associated counties be re-
uuested to raise Sl00 or more each to be offered as
a premium for the largest and best exhibit OF the
natural resources and products Of each county
for the New Orleans EXposition-the same to be
exhibited at the Chester Fair and State Fair be-
fore being forwarded to New Orleans, and the
yice-president of the several counties be and are
hereby authorized to take subscriptions, collect
secretary Of the association
The vice-presidents appointed to carry
out this resolution were Col. j. S. Bratton,
York; Major T. w. Woodward, Fairfield ;
Gen. J. B. Irwin, Lancaster, and Mr.. Jesse
Hardin, Chester. The gentleman who spoke
for Fairfield guaranteed the raising of her
quota. The committee on fair grounds
were instructed to have such repairs made
on buildings and fencing as were needed.
The fair association is in prosperous con-
dition. Its present Indebtedness amounts
to only about $3.50, which is very little in
comparison with the value of its proper
ty. The Board of Directors intend that the
next Fair shall surpass any of the pre-
ceding Fairs given by the Association.
They decided give ]. K. Henry, Esq, slOO
for his services as Secretary of the Associa-
tion. A better man tor the position could
not be found in the county. He is thor
oughly competent, and, moreover, very
popular with the people. The Association
will hold it's next Fair beginning on the
18th of next October and continuing four
days.
The oil mill at this place is doing very
we'll at present. The President. Capt. ). II.
Smith, has informed me that it is now turn
ing out from 35 to 40 gallons Of oil per hour.
Its supply of seed will be exhausted in about

Carolina. The proportion planted May 1st

STANYARNE WILSON, ESQ.

Among the names of candidates for Legis-
lative honors in Spartanburg county, we no.
tice that of our talented former townsman,
J. Stanyarne Wilson, Esq, who three years
ago became a citizen of Spartanburg, hav-
ing located there for the purpose of prac-
ticing his professionalism of the law. We
feel that gentleman of Mr.. Wilson's talent
and energy has not resided in Spartanburg
for three years without making his mark in
the forum; yet with all his native ability as
a lawyer and public speaker of exception
ally fine powers, it may not be known to all
the citizens of his adopted county that he is
young gentleman of fine standing in the
community where he was raised, having
been noted for his studious habits and close
application from boyhood up. Without the
precocity which marks some young men,
who "rise like rocket and fall like a stick, "
he is possessed of native talent, which he
improves day by day, and to this qualifica-
ton may be added that of honest intentions
and integrity of purpose. He is Spartan
among Spartans, and would make for the
people of his adopted county safe and re-
liable and honorable representative.

-Gastonia Gazette: AS all other little rail-

Bakersville, got very drunk and were "sky-
larking," with another youth of about their
age who was also drunk. The two Greens
wrestled, quarreled and fought and at last
James shot Joseph and killed him. James
was taken in this drunken state to a neigh
boris and put to bed, the murder having oc,-
the late term of Mitchell court and Green's
trial for murder was about to be begun
when the father Of the dead boy, who was
also uncle of the criminal, prevailed on
the court to allow his nephew to make
submission for manslaughter, which was
done and Green was sentenced to the penl-
penitentiary for twenty years.
