Mr.. EliNsOn's Position.
charlottesville Progress.)

(CharlOtteSVllle HIosless.)
The letter from Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson,
published in the Progress Saturday,
should set at rest any DOUBT which may
have been felt by some as to his true po-
siton on the financial question. His op-
ponents have industriously circulated the
report that he was not in favor of the
free coinage of silver; that he was at
heart "gcedbug." and that If the op-
portunity were offered him as Governor
he would appoint senator who was not
i'm sympathy with the last Democratic
platform. This has been the chief ana
almost only argument OF those who are
opposing Mr.. Elyson. They admit his
service TO the party, his eminent qualih-
cations for the office, ana his abilities
as an organizer and campaign worker.
No one has yet been found who would
dare to assail his character or criticise
mis- record as a citizen or politician.
Mr.. Elyson is clear in mis- statement
defining his position. He says: Il am In
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio OF
l6 to 1. II elected Governor and va
cancy should occur, by resignation or
otherwise, Of either of the United states
senators from this State, l should con-
slider il my duty 10 appoint a senator
thoroughly in accord with the platform
to be adopted at the next Democratic
State Convention. which platform. l am
certain. will contain a declaration in favor
of the free and Unlimited coinage Of sill
YER"
These declarations OF Mr. Ellyson de-
stroy the force Of all opposition IL him
and practically insure his nomination.

BOnD HAnlII<lin.

Juab Mauldin died at his resi-
dence two miles south of Pickens
Tuesday, the 30th Of November,
1897. aged 5S years. Though 1t
was known that he had baen in
feeble health during the fall and
that he had been confined to his
bed for Il few weeks, yet the COM
munity was not prepared for this
sad announcement.
There was not q man i'll the
county better or moro favorably
known than Joab Mauldin. Frank,
and generous hearted he made
friends Of all who knew him. He
was no sort Of politician. He
was popular because all who know
him were willing to trust him.
His thousand kindn 9sses to all ho
could assist mover had tho
least tinge of tlme serving or self
aggrandizement. So when he Of
fered for the Office OF shoriff Of the
county, his election was q foregone
conclusion. He filled that respon-
sible Office for four terms, with fl
deity to tho people and with un-
faltering courage in the discharge
Of his duty. Discretion and Off
cial tact wore marked character
istlcs of tho man.
In tho midst Of his political suc-
cess, his increasing responsible
ties ami cares, he heard and obey
cd tho still small voice calling
him to be christian. Well docs
tho writer remember when he arose
in the congregation at the Motho-
dist church and announced tho
fact that he believed that Christ
was the Son Of tho Living God,
and his Saviour, and in that faith
he lived and acted until tho day
of death. Without ostentation
without malice, above suspicion
in all things he walked humbly
and trustfully in the pathway of
true pioty.
His widow and nine children
survive him. He has left them a
consolation, a heritage that wealth
cannot buy nor adversely take
away.
His remains were inferred at
Pickens cemetery on Thursday
| with Masonic honors. y
