lures which grace the studio of the gifted
and beautiful young artist, Miss Lillian
Swyeert, of Williamson, s. c., We were
specially fascinated by two-one mag
nolia blossom and buds over which you
instinctively hang feeling confident you
will cnhale the subtle perfume; the other
an italian landscape of such rare beauty
and exquisite execution that you
shield your face from the warmth and
| glory of its blue skies and bow your head
to meet the balmy, flower laden breezes of
this earth garden. A wondrous power
does the young artist hold in her mystic
brush. Whether it be rock, flower, a
bit Of sea or stretch of shore all bears that
God given stamp of genius which renders
it Immortal. Miss Swygert certainly ro.
fleets credit on her gifted instructor,
'tProf. Hal Morrison" whose laurels are
won from two continents
Last Friday afternoon Samuel Watt,
son of Mr.. W. M. Watt, of Hall Town
ship, met with fatal accident by the ac-
cidental discharge of his gun. he had
his gun in the yard, and, having 10 enter
the house for some purpose, left the gun
leaning against the piazza. When he
came out on the piazza he attempted to
| lift the gun, VIXEN the hamm er struck tho
floor, discharging the gun and the whole
load entered just under his chin. The
young man fell to the floor and in
twinkling his mother was at his side, but
before she could hardly realize what
terrible accident had happened he was a
corpse. The wound was most frightful
| one. The deceased was about 16 years OF
age, and was bright, energetic Lad,
whose sad death was terrible shock to
his parents and loved jones. On Sunday
morning the remains were inferred in the
Cross Roads Churchysrd, Rev. B. Hays
conducting the funeral services. The
grief-stricken parents have many sympa'
thizers in their bereavement.
Reid Morrison, young white man, who
is charged with stealing cotton and burn
ing Mr.. ]. q. Douthips gin house, in
Pend)eton Township, last fall, was ar
rested at Millwocd, in Rutherford Coun-
ty, Y. c., last Sunday night by Mr.. N. R.
Green, Anderson County's efficient Dep
uty Sheriff. Mr.. Green reached the city
Tuesday with the prisoner, who is now in
Jail. In locating and arresting Morrison,
Mr.. Green displayed his usual efficiency
and skill as detective, and proves what
We have always claimed-that'a a violator of
the law has to he exceedingly sharp 10
evade arrest wheu our Deputy gets after
him. Mr.. Green had quietly been tracing
the prisoner until few days ago, when he
located him at big saw mill under the
assumed name of Williams. Mr.. Green
went to North Carolina Saturday, arriving
at Millwood on Sunday. That night
about - o'clock he went to the mill and,
with the assistance of another officer,
found Morrison asleep in cabin with
another msn. The officers secured en-
trance and Mr.. Green was putting the
handouts on his prisoner when he awoke
Morrison at once recognized Mr.. Green,
made no attempt at resisting arrest, and
came to Anderson without any trouble.
Morrison denies burning the gin, but adj
mits having sold the stolen cotton. He
says he was paid to sell the cotton by two
negroes.
Last Friday morning Mr.. A. s. Stephens
received telegram conveying the sad in'
telligence that his youngest son, MIR.
Henry W. Stephens, had died suddenly
early that morning at his home at Belt
Junction, near Atlanta, Ga. The an
nouncement was great shock to the pa
rents as we'll as to the numerous friends
of the deceased in Anderson, his native
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Stephens left that
afternoon for Belt Junction, and on Sat-
urday afternoon the remains were Inferred
in the cemetery there. The deceased was
about Is years of age, and young man OF
excellent qualities of both heart and
mind. For number OF years he had
been in the employ of the R. & D. R. R.,
and has recently been filling the resron-
sible position of transfer agent at the
Junction. He was held in high esteem
by the Company, and in the course of time
would no doubt have been promoted to
higher position. Mr. Stephens had been
consistent member of the Baptist Church
since bis boyhood, and in every relation
of life discharged his duties we'll. In his
boyhood he worked year or two in the
INTELLIaENcER Office, and we can testify
to his many good traits OF character. He
leaves young widow and ONE child to
cherish his memory. 1t is truly very sad
to see young, robust man cut down just
entering upon the great responsibilities of
life. but it is the work of an All-wise God,
who doeth all things for the best. and we
should not murlnur. We tender our
deepest sympathy tc the griefstricken
parents in their bereavement.
