Election Ordered.

Gov. Ellerhe has ordered an election
Tor the 10Th OF June upon the question
OF the proposed new county, embracing
Honea Path in Anderson, and q por-
tion of Sullivan and Waterloo in this
county. AS we have aforetime said
while we would regret to have our old
county dismembered, it is q business
proposition and not one of senti-
ment. Let no qualified voter cast a bal
lot because it is novel, or because it
may have a speculative benefit. Lau-
rens Is not ono OF the large counties
and the great bulk Of her population
are convenient to the county seat. AS
a county b is making great strides
towards the front!industriallv now Mas
ninety-siX miles of railway and is the
18th county in the State in the value of
railway property. Her taxable prop.
erty IL assessed at four millions. The
proposed new county in prospective
progress is not to be compared with
Laurens. Her assessed wealth IL
scarcely two millions and industrial
prospects not promising. The new
county must immediately be saddled
with debt for public buildings and it is
falsest economy to build cheap Ones
Again the new county must assume a
proper proportion of the indebted
ness OF the old county and a change
promises no financial advantage. We
are frank to say that we know no equal
area in the county or State presenting
an equal standard Of intelligence with
that proposed to be taken from Laurens
and hence we arc reluctant to sec her
go. We advise that our" Laurcns people
vote mo" on the first question:; upon
the matter Of county seat, "Prince-
ton" and "Stonowall" for the name of
the county.

In Memory of Il. p. Jones.

Il. z. Jones, son OF Louis D.. Jones,
vas born November 18th, 1881, and
died April 18th, 1897, being at the
time OF his death G5 years of age.
AS he grew up he awaited himself OF
such educational advantages rs the
schools around him Afforded and by
proper application Of these advantages
secured a good practical education
In Tact he taught successfully for many
years, and was extensively known Us Il
competent and accurate rvcyo
In 1863 he was married to Miss Lizzie
a. Goggans, daughter Of Joseph and
Stacy Goggans, who lived near Bush
River church in Newborry county
Ills wifo was u woman Of Intelligence
and possessed rare qualities of moral
n social excellence. She was kind
n courteous in disposition, unusually
pleasant in conversation, and withal II
devoted and sincere christian. Her
rare gifts won for her universal love
wherever she vas known, and although
she has boon dead for many years, she
Is still spoken Of as having been u We.
man OF uncommon iolucncc.
This union proved most happy, and
strong christian influence pervaded
their home. Tho writer we'll rcmcm-
bers how whom n certain Baptist
preacher who was at that time their
pastor, had lost his wife and given up
his home, they extended the hand OF
sympathy, and did all in their DO
to cheer those sad and lonely days.
Brother Jones was baptized into the
membership OF Fairview church in
Newberry county, but soon ~aftorward
transferred his membership to IIurri-
cane church In Laurcns county. Here
for a number Of years he filled very eff
ticiently the Offices, both OF deacon and
church Clerk.
AS a christian he was emincntly
consistent. He was one among the few
whose sense of obligation prompts them
TO give to the Masters cause that at
tention which its Importance demands.
Ills faith was steady, his devotion
constant and his spiritual tone of feel,
'"S hiBh' LILO COuNlCGlOnS OF truth and
duty were clear and in the hour OF
trial he maintained in an eminent
degree, serenity of mind.
lie has passed away and memory
brings up many hallowcd associations
that fill our hearts with sorrow. but he
has left behind tho best Of all herit-
ages, a christian example.
The deceased leaves behind him five
children, two sons and three daughters.
Tho sons arc church members, both
graduates Of the Lutheran College at
~Newberry, and since leaving school
have been filling important positions
as teachers.
The daughters also are members of
the church, gifted, pious and in many
respects fitted to adorn the walks of
life, and to honor the example left
them by their parents. May that
wisdom which is from above direct
them, and bring them at last an I'M
broken band into the haven of ctcr-
nal rest.

Mrs. Kate ID. Wright.

h"oO - "llSHt
Died in the city OF Jackson, Miss,
May %, 1897, Mrs. Kate ID. Wright.
1t is not meet that the death of one
who has filled so large a space in the
community, in which she lived as has
Mrs. Wright, should pass with a sim
pie announcement.
Mrs. wright was the daughter Of
Oliver p. Barrett, a prominent,
wealthy, and useful citizen of Jackson
and vicinity for many years. She was
Jackson, at and neal which she resided
all her life. She was married to the
late o.. p. Wright, who died in 1876.
Reared in afluence, educated in the
best schools of the country. gifted by
nature with q bright mind and at
tractive social qualities, she f~ttingly
adorned the high social position in
which she was placed. When the war
came with it's attendant and conse-
quent misfortunes, she bore adversely
and the loss Of wealth with cheerful
ness and fortitude. And when further
trouble came with the death of her
husband, she set herself with the same
cheerfulness and renewed energy to
provide for the education of her chill
dren, and the welfare OF her numerous
dependents.
While not ~neglecting in the slight
est her duties to her family, she was
ever ready to bear her part, and more,
In every way calculated and intended
to promote the welfare and happiness
OF her neighbors and friends. But it
WAS in her domestic circle and in the
Inequalities Of her home that Mrs.
Wright appeared to the best advan-
tage. She vas a special friend of the
young, and was never so happy as
when engaged in promoting their
pleasure.
While a sincere Christian, she made
no ostentatious display Of her religion,
but rather gave uttcrance to the faith
that was In her by deeds of Christian
charity. Her memory will long be
cherished by those who knew her best.
