IN MEMORY OF LAURA srITH.

Our Laura aged years 5 months.
and Is days. passed from her suffer-
ings early Wednesday morning the
9th day of January, 1897.
She was auch a patient little suf-
ferer aud perfectly conscious until the
last. She was so concerned about
her papa and mama thinking they
must be sick and she didn't forget to
kiss them her usual good night.
Dear Little Laura. Many heart is
saddened at her departure, in the
home, school and Sunday school there
is vacant place, and it is the wish
of her school mates, that all may be
present, not one absent or tardy in
the Great School above with Christ
our Teacher.
a FRIEND.

STOVER--FISHER.

Married: At the Presbyterian
parsonage in Humboldt, on Monday
evening, February l, 1897, Mr.. Lutte
P. Slower and Miss Maggie Fisher,
the Rev. Edward Mills, of Kansas
City officiating.
Mr.. Maynard Bush and Miss Nellie
Smeltzer accompanied Mr.. Slower to
Humboldt, and were the only wit
nesses of the wedding which was cell
ebrated thus quietly on account of the
recent death of the brides father, the
late Paul Fisher. Immediately after
the ceremony the wedding party went
to the residence of Mr.. J. A. Heath,
where the bride and her mother have
for some time made their home, and
received there the congratulations OF
the immediate relatives. After SIM
pie but elegant supper Mr.. and Mrs.
Slower drove up to lola where they
will make their home. For the pres
ent they will board at Mr.. E. P.
Minors, but they expect to go to
housekeeping as soon as Capt. StOver's
house is vacated by the present ten
ant.
1t would probably be hard to find q
young man in Allen county who has
more friends than Lutte Slower. Born
and reared in the county, the son of a
man who was always a prominent
and popular citizen, he has held, be-
cause he has deserved, the good will
of a very wide circle of friends and &C.
quaintances. Well educated and
witty, full of pluck and energy, clean
and honest, he cannot fail to win the
victory in the great battle upon which
he is now fairly entered. His bride
may be assured that there is a warm
welcome awaiting her here, not only
for her husbands sake, but upon her
own account as well, for the fame of
her social gifts and good heart and at
tractive personality has preceded
her and prepared the way. The
REGISTER but speaks the universal
sentiment of all their friends in wish
ing and predicting for Mr.. and Mrs.
Slower health, happiness, prosperity
and a long life.

THEIoLA Gas COMPANY.

The consolidation of the Allen
County Gas Company and the Co
Operative Gas Company has been eff
fected in accordance with the terms OF
the compromise and the decree of the
court A new charter has been Sc
cured with Lutte l.. NOrthrup, Geo.
A. Fry, w. 5. Pryor, Geo. A. Bowlus,
ID, Ewart, r. B. Stevenson and Jas.
Taylor as directors. The directors
had their first meeting last Monday
evening and elected officers for the
ensuing year as follows: Lutte l..
Northrup, president, r. b. Stevenson,
vice president, Geo. A. Fry, secre-
tary, Geo. A. Bowlus, treasurer. 1t
was decided to fix the price at one
dollar per stove, as agreed upon be-
fore the court, for domestic use, leav-
ing the prices for other purposes prac-
tically as they have been. 1t was
also agreed that all consumers would
be required to pay monthly in ad-
vance, and that the gas should be cut
off from all who had failed to pay by
the tenth of the month. All consum-
ers have been notified by postal card
of this rule, and it will be infiexibly
enforced. The consolidated company
now has about three hundred and
sixty heaters and is supplying prob
ably six hundred stoves and perhaps
$50 lights. There are still some parts
of to wn that are not reached by the
mains and it is the intention of the
company to extend its lines as rapid
" as possible until the demand Is
fully met.
The friendly manner in which the
business of consolidating the two COM
panies has been gone about and &C
complished and the equitable division
of officers and directors is a matter of
much satisfaction to all the citizens,
as it is conclusive proof that the COM
promise was made in good faith and
that all the bitterness Of the former
rivalry has been left behind. The
war is over, and with such public
spirited and liberal minded citizens
as Northrup, Stevenson. BOwlus and
Fry at its head there will be no fear
that The lola Gas Company will be
managed in any other way than
fairly, generously and in the best
interest of the city and all the inhab-
itants thereof.

The following is what he said to the

He is all Right.
What has become of our little Fred
Who went away to fight?
To perforate old Weyler's pate
Because he thought twas right?
To have some fun with his Calling gun
At the Spanish boys expense
And make a name and gobs of fame
In Cuba's brave defense?
Has he been clapped in MorO's cells,
Or in the ocean tossed?
Or drinking at the poisoned wells
Or in the shuttle lost?
If the Jolly blade should be betrayed
To the hands of old Weyler grim
He'd sure behead our little Fred
And be the death of him. w. W. 8.

Death Claims the Distinguished
South CaroIinian.
CONSCIOUS TO THE LAST,
The Sufferer Awaits the End
Calmly and Peacefully, Sur
rounded by the Members Of
His Family-COmmittee of
United States Senators Ap-
pointed to attend the Funeral,

Greenville, S. c., May 90
Senator Earle died this afternoon
at twenty minutes after 8 o'clock.
The immediate cause of death
was Bright's disease, which rapid
ly developed in the past few days.
Yesterday morning symptoms
were not more serious than
for the past week, and there
was no fear of immediate death
AT 4 o'clock this morning there
was marked change for the
worse and he was supposed to be
dying. He rallied later, and al
though no hope of recovery was
entertained, yet there was hope
that he would hold out for a day
or two. All through the day he
had gradually been sinking, and
it was only question of a few
hours when the end would come.
His strong will power asserted
itself and he relied this morning.
During the day there was a
hush over the city. as it was
known that the favorite son of
this county was in the shadow of
death.
All through the day there was
giving away and rally follow
ing, but each hour the Senator
was weaker. Never for a mo-
ment did he lose consciousness
but retained his clearness of
mind and accepted the condition
that he would live only a few
hours.
All the members of his family
We're wit him this afternoon.
Gradually he grew weaker, but
he calmly awaited the end. never
evlncing any nervousness or fear
of his impending fate. The low
sobs of wife and children who
stood around his bedside echoed
the short breathing of the sufferer.
His breathing grew slower, and
with his gaze resting on his loved
wife, at 20 minutes after 3 o'colck,
the weary, patient sufferer was at
rest.
The solemn tolling of the city
alarm bell announced the death
of Senator Earle. In a short time
all the stores of the city were
closed and citizens were mourn
ing the death of the most distin-
gusihed citizen of Greenville. No
arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The time will
probacly be made to meet the
convenience OF the usual Con
gressional committee.

County on April 80, 1S47. His
father. Elias ID. Earle of Green
vile, was a prominent lawyer,
and at one time held the office of
superintendent of public works OF
the State. Judge Earle's father
married Susan G. Haynesworth
of Sumter County, in 1886. They
had eight children, Of whom
Judge Earle was the youngest.
His early education was received
in the academy of Sumter.
Immediately upon leaving the
academy, he fastened to join the
ranks of the Confederate army.
In July, 1864, at the age of II
he enlisted as private in
Charles's battery of light artillery,
at the close of the war part of
kemper's artillery. Though a
mere lad Judge Earle did his
whole duty as a soldier.
At the close of the war Judge
Earle returned home and entered
Furman University, where he
graduated in 81. Like most South
ern people, the family of Judge
Earle were impoverished by the
war, so young Earle had to make
his own way in life. He chose
law as his profession, but being
too poor to study it independent
~ he taught school by day and
studied law at night. In April,
1870, he was examined for the
bar by Judge James l.. Orr, after.
wards minister to Russia. His
examination being highly salts
factory he was admitted, and be.
gan the practice of his profession
at Anderson, where he remained
until 1875. He then removed to
Sumter, 5. G. AS Il lawyer Judge
Earle soon distinguished himself,
and had few superiors in South
Carolina of striking appearance,
great eloquence and convincing
reasoning he was almost invinci
BILE. Add to this a character
without blemish, and one can
readily see that he deserved sue
cess. His sterling qualities soon
attracted attention and marked
him as a leader of men.
In 1878 he was called by the
people to represent them in the
Legislature, and for four wears he
was useful and able member of
that body. His lofty principles,
his fearless discharge of duty, his
great sincerity won for him host
of friends and admirers. lie de
clined reelection to the House
In 1850, but was elected Senator
from Sumter County in 1882. He
at once became the foremost
champion OF many reforms. Com
pleteing his term as Senator i'm
1876, he was elected ATTORNEY
General, and for two terms filled
that responsible position with sig
nal ability. South Carolina has
had many eminent men in every
sense of the word as ATTORNEY
Generals, but Judge Earle won
more cases than any Attorney
General South Carolina has ever
had. When he accepted the of
flee he knew the duties were ar
duous. The labors of an Attorney
General have never been light
but Judge Earle, sacrificing his
private practice, devoted his time
