A LOSS TO THE STATE.
A Prominent Citizen OfNcwberry Who
Was an Inspiration to Young Men.

Was an Inspiration to Young Men.
Col. Robert l.. McCaughrin, of New
berry, died on the 9th OF January, of
Bright's disease after a long and pain
full illness. He was president of the
National Bank and Of the Newberry
cotton mills, from the organization of
these corporations. His health had
been failing for q year, and he had
not actively discharged any of his
public duties for several months. He
was born in Columbia Sept. 3, 1884,
than 81 years old. He attended the
schools Of Columbia, but when q mere
boy entered the world of business, and
after clerking for a time in Columbia
he went to Charleston, where he was
engaged in the mercantile business.
In that city Mr.. McCaughrin, at II
years of age, took employment in the
mercantile house of Caldwell, Blakely
~ Co. In 1854 he was appointed book
keeper in the Bank of N ew berry, from
which position he rose to that of
engaged in mercantile business in New
berry, in the firm OF Carwile e. Nc
Caughrin. Early in the war he enlisted
in the l4th regiment, S. @. ", and was
selected by Quartermaster G.. FL. Suber
for his clerk. On the transfer of Major
Suber early in 1863, Mr.. McCaughrin
was made quartermaster of the regi-
ment In 1864 his services were de.
manded in the treasury department
| OF the Confederate States. At the
| opening of the campaign in 1865 he
resigned from the treasury, and was
! appointed adjutant of the l4th regi-
! ment, S. G. w., McGowan's brigade,
and was on duty at the surrender at
| Appomattox.
After the war he engaged first in
mercantile business at Newberry. In
1871, on the organization OF the Ma
! tional Bank OF Newberry, he was elect
ed president, which Office he held to
the day Of his death. In 1883 he was
largely Instrumental In establishing
the Newberry Cotton Mills, of which
has been president ever since, being
also treasurer for number of years.
He was for years before his death an
elder in the Presbyterian Church of
Newberry.
In his youth he laid the foundations
OF his success in life. He was not yet
II years of age when he was elected to
the position in the State Bank in 1856,
yet he then showed that he was we'll
fitted and capable as tinancier. The
prosperity of the National Bank of
Newberry and the Newberry Cotton
Mills is due to him, and ON all sides
wherever we look in his community
can be seen the influence of his power
as safe adviser in business affairs.
He possessed q wonderful mind and an
excellent heart, and he used both for
the good of the people of his town and
the county at large, and no one has
} ever done as much as he to advance
their material prosperity. He was
twice married, first to Miss Kirkpat
rick, who died in 1867, and then later
to Miss Laura Nance, daughter of Col
Drayton Nance. who died several year
ago. Several children OF each unior
survive him.

John Philip Sousa, the peoples music
maker, and his great band will be in
Butte on the 9Th of February and will
give one concert in this city. Sousa
Is probably the greatest bandmaster
and musician IN the world. One OF the
unexplicable things about him is that
he pleases every manner of man with
his music Somehow he reaches the
average of public taste. Nothing gives
a better idea of the mixed character or
the audiences that gather to hear him
than the requests that come TO him
while playing.
For instance the other day a dainty
note was handed to him which said:
"A society lady requests that you
play the overture to 'Tannhauser' for
an encore"
Another Request that came from the
audience, in masculine chirography,
read:
Dear Professor: Please have your
fellows play Sweet Marie"
Another very outspoken request that
came to him last. week was couched
in these vigorous words:
Damn Wagner. Play The Liberty
Bell" ~.
While playing at Manhatton beach
this summer a Bowery boy was in the
audience, and he manifested his must
cal taste by sending to Mr.. Sousa this
note:
viii youse fellers play 'Sunshin of
Paradice Allyn" -
While playing at st. Louis this note
was handed to him:

.'SuCCeSS'
is THE
PERFECT FILTER !
BECAUSE:

First-The filtering medium is Tri-
poll Stone which does not receive into
its pores the filth and germs it extracts
and which is always the same, no
matter how long in use.
Second-The action of the filter
downward, from an upper to a lower
jar, passes the water, drop by drop,
through the air, restoring the oxygen
thereby which the water may have lost
from stagnation, confinement, or other
wise, and imparting to it freshness of
taste, sparkle and vitality.
Third-Its action is as rapid as is
consistent with efficacy. a too rapid
filtering does not wholly remove i'm
purities.
Fourth-Every part is accessible for
cleaning, and without Iaborious effort.
Thorough cleanliness is the chief requ-
isite of any good filter.
Fifth-The jars being made either of
stoneware or porcelain insures water
being kept pure and 'uncontaminated
after being filtered
Sixth-Stoneware for those who de-
sire an efficient yet low-priced filter,
and the finest porcelain, decorated to
suit, enables the SUCCESS TO accom-
modate itself to the wants of all in
the matter of price.
SeVenth-ItS construction admits
also of its capacity being adapted to
suit the wants of all, from the indi-
vidual tourist to the largest hotel or
laundry.
Since introducing the Success Fill
ter, we have sold large number of
them, and they give perfect satisfac-
ton.
