He had been in bad health for several mon ths
from diabetis, but recent attack OF griI
caused IL to assume u more aggravated lorr
which terminated in death. He was thirty
years old, had been member OF the Baptist

1t seems that one OF our citizens Mr.. j. Is.
Arnold has been very badly treated by u New
berry trial justice. The following is what one
of the Newperry papers has TO say about 1t.
THAT COW JUDGMENT.
Trial Justice Gregory Is Indignant, and
rushes into print TO vindicate his judicial
ermine.
And Mr.. ]. II. Keisler dropped in yesterday
TO further vindicate the judge. Incidentally
he threw more light Oh the subject. Mr..
Kesler says Mr.. Arnold. to whom the COWS
belonged. was in business tnat kept him from
home the greater partof the time. While he
was absent The TWO cows treSpaSsed on Mr..
Fullman's garden, and Mr.. Pullman claimed
81 50 for damages. Mrs. Arnold said She did
not have the money. The Trial Justice had
the COWS attached, and the next day Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold moved TO Greenwood. The cows
were did off by the Trial Justice for $3.50.
Then he sold them to Mr.. j. H. Keisler for the
costs-sll.75. Mr.. Keisler butchered one,
which be sold Tor Sl4. He has the larger one,
which he says he would not take So for.
So that Mr. and Mrs. Arnold lose two cows
worth ut least $50 because OF Sl.aO the Trial
Justice gels Sll.75 ''costs," and Mr.. kelsler
makes SIPS by the transaction. We presume
MIR. Pullman got his Sl.5O.
The Observer would like very much TO hear
Mr.. ArnOld's version OF this COW matter. No
doubt he could throw more light on it.
IL may not be my prerogutlve to mention
the secret, but the readers OF the Observer
have very much enjoyed the fiashy scintila.

VI all the arrests made here for violation of
the revenue laws, there was only one trivial
conviction before the court In Greenyille.
These cases must have cost the government
several hundred dollars.
Mrs. J. IL. Davis died at her home near here
ON Friday night. IL Is one OF those peculiar
ly sad cases where heart broken husband Is
left with large family Of small children. She
having lett seven. the oldest being about u
years, they and Mr.. Davis have the sympathy
Of this community.

circular from this county, only one, that OF
Mr. +. A. Mars, says Tillman Is as strong IN
the county Us he was TWO years ago.
II seems TO me that Capt. LyOu does the
Press and Banner an injustice In charging II
with abusing Tillman and misrepresenting
the Alliance. Some or its correspou-
dents have criticised the governor, as they
had righ to do. Criticism Is not abuse, be-
am not mistaken he Iavors Tillman's re-
election. If his advice To the alliance had
been heeded IL would now be leeward TO The
political breakers which so much threaten
TO wreck it, and in the matter OF jute bagglng
would have been several thousand dollars
ahead IN this county alone. II this be perse-
cution and Misrepresentation make the most
Of IL. Granting that 1t be true. do not think
Capt. Lyon believes that for this cause this
county will vote for Iillman. In the filst
place II Is not very complimentary to Till
man. In the second, our people as rule 40
not vote for men because OF spite, such
charge Is full of arrogance ana lnsolence.
Lastly. If Capt. Lyon considered it benefl-
cial TO Tillman, he would have said nothing
about II, being himself a Tillman supporter
he would hardly dlvulge any agency that was
making recruits for his Slde recognizing as he
lust how much they will BIZ needed in the
approaching election.
