The United States and Great Brit

arbitration by negotiating a treaty
which will bind them to submit their
differences to a peaceful tribunal.
When the world has realized the ad-

the enlightened sentiment of other ma
lions will compel their governments to
fall into line and accept arbitration as
the only sensible and civilized method
Of adjusting international controver-

Death Of Col. ]. W. Norris.

In the death OF Col. Jesse w. Norris,
which occurred at his home at Saren-
mes, six miles south Of this city, last
Friday morning at o'clock, Anderson
County loses one Of her Oldest and best
citizens. He had been seriously i'll for
several weeks, and his death had been
expected atany time by his loved ones.
Col. Norris was in the S3rd year OF his
age and was the eldest son OF the late
Ezekiel S. Norris. He was born and
reared III this County, and, with the
exception Of a few years, spent his life
here. Possessing bright mind and q
stldious disposition he prepared hlm-
self for college at an early age, and III
his young manhood graduated from the
University of Virginia, being Il class.
mate OF the late Hon. Jas. L.,Orr and
Gen. Lewis M. Aver. He then came to
Anderson and studied law in the Office
OF the late Judge Whitner. He was
soon admitted to the Bar and later 10
Gated at old pic;lens Court House,
where he practiced his profession for a
number of years. When Pickens
County was divided he returned to MS
old home and since that time has been
engaged in farming. He was twice
married, his first wife being q Miss
leslie, Of Abbeville County, and his.
second wife Il Miss Simpson, OF this
County, both of whom preceded him to
the grave. He was 4 member OF the
staff. of one OF the ante bellum Govern
ors, and in that day took much inter
est in the old militia Of the State. On
account OF his age he served the Con-
feleracy in the Reserves, and was in
service in and around Charleston. Be
ing possessed Of amodest, unassuming
disposition, Col. Norris never sough' po-
slitical honors, though being frequently
solicited by his friends to allow them
to use his name for various positions.
In every relation Of life he discharged
his duties faithfully aud has gone to
reap the rewards of the just and true.
Since his childhood he had been most
devoted and consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church, and for years was
the senior Ruling Elder OF the Church
in this city. Besides large circle OF
friends and relatives, he leaves three
daughters to cherish his memory. Last
Sunday afternoon the funeral services
were conducted at home by his pastor,
Rev. J. n. H. Summerel, after which
the remains were inferred in the Silver
Brook Cemetery.

Palm Sunday at St. Joseph's.

The services at ST. Joseph's Catholic
Church on last Sunday were most IN
teresting. The day, as the name sig
mites, is kept in honor Of the day oul,
Lord entered Jerusalem triumphant
aud exalted, amid the joyful attend
ance OF the. Jews, who carried and
waved palm branches before him. The
Catholics Of Anderson were fortunate
in havi the day kept here, as is GUS
tomary in all Catholic Churches. The
altar was beautiful in its simplicity,
the only ornamentation being the love
ly palm leaves, most tastefully ar
ranged just back OF the lighted candles
of pure white wax; the palms were
also in profusion on the side affairs and
over the doors. Before the mass began
the ceremony Of blessing the palms,
which was very impressive, was per-
formed. Whilst the priest recited the
appropriate prayers, and sprinklcd the
palms with holy water and offered in
cense, the choir sang that solemn hymn
of sorrow, "Stabat mater Dolorosa. =
After this the mass was said, bringing
III the long gospel Of the passion.
At night the stations of the Cross
were rccitcd, and u very earnest dls-
course on the efficacy of prayer was
delivered by the Reverend Father Nc
Carthy, who also conducted the morn
ing services. Father Mccarthy is the
new priest who, through the jealous
efforts of Rev. Father Budds, has come
to assist Rev. Father McElroy and him
self III the work Of this mission. Iills
will enable the Catholics here in future
to attend church twice a month. Rev.
Father Mccarthy made Il most
pleasant impression upon all, and we
feel sure will do much good in the
mission. He presses himself as well
pleased with this part of the country.
We hope he may remain long among
us. There will be High Mass on Easter
Sunday at ii o'clock, and also evening
services. ~.
