or realized sense Of loss at the death OF th'
most distinguished and best beloved South

Mr.. Davis was the last Of the Confederate
cabinet to Weld to the destroyer and, as long

had in him common centre to which they
might look with confidence and respect
No man in all this country, was SO much
honored and respected by the Southern peo
pie, as was Mr.. Davis.
Although he had long been feeble IN BODY

AbbeyilIe in the Legislature.

We feel gratificd at the high stand which
our Legislators have taken in the Genera'
Assembly. We have never had more &c
tive and q more influential delegation, ano
the best of 1t all Is, they are generally on INC
right side of every question.
The people Of this County will thank them
for their opposition to the bill to require mar
riage license.
The farmers Of the whole County have rea
son to thank Mr., Benet for bringing out th'
Clemson college lnflying colors.
All debtors will ttaak Mr.. Gary and other
members Of the Legislature for efforts TO re-
duce the rate Of interest. Mr.. Graydon gave
able and earnest support to this bill.
Captain King and Mr.. c. a. c. Waller are
each making useful and valuable members.
The fact is, that our delegation is doing Sc
well for us, that we would be sorry for any
of them 10 be defeated in the approaching
election.

Frank Templeman, who attempted TO de-

tective Agency to mulct the city out of sums
of money in connection with the Doodle
trials, was sentenced to three years and nine

Templeman was well dressed, and pre-
served II cool demeanor while sentence was
being pronounced upon him.
His lawyers, Howe and Foster, were also
present.
Mr.. Howe moved for a new trial on the
ground that much illegal testimony was ad-
mitted on the trial, and that even 10 the
charge made was not proven.
Judge MARITIME promptly denied the motion.
Then Lawyer Foster tired to explain n
story told about his client by n reporter, who
said that Templeman had once been IN the
bogus divorce business

did not succeed very satisfactorily.
When he had finished. Judge MARITIME, ad-
