Joseph ID. Young.

| Joseph d. Young the subject of
this sketch was the only child Of J..
n. and Anne Young was born in
Tazewell county Sept. so, 1874 and
died of lung trouble in Telluride.
Col. May 9th 1900. 1t was in that
region he had lived for nearly 2 years
and engaged in the mining business
was interested in several valuable
mines at the time of his death.
Doubtless his health had been falling
for some time but he had kept work
ing on hoping to ward off the disease
that was making such swift inroads
in bis pure life and saping its vital
ny away. All that medical skill
could do to arrest the disease was
done but aIasl death was claiming it's
victim. He was graduate of King
College in the class of 97, was a
bright young man ardently loved by
all his class mates and idol of fond
parents hearts. And as evidence he
duly appreciated all his parents had
zone Tor him he was arranging all his
business 80 as to take special care Of
them in their declining years, Only
short TING before his death he
wrote his parents that he hoped soon
to be with them the remainder of
their life here. But how God does
thwart mems purposes and DESTROY
our fondest anticipationsl No more
promising young man never left Va.
than Joseph ID. Young. II was with
feeling of deep regret that we bade
him farewell, wishing him success
In all his undertakings. His largo
robust form bid fair for long life OF
usefulness but just as he was begin
ning what promised successful ca
reer God saw fit to take him home.
"A letter from one OF his closest
friends to his grief stricken parents
says long will the memory OF Joseph
Young live In the hearts he has left
behind. He was great fayorite
with ell his friends and will be re-
membered lovingly az long rs this
generation remains. Kind and so
afiectionate in his disposition he
had entwined himself 40 closely
about tho hearts OF his fond parents
That II was like tearing asunder the
heart strings to give him up. But
while their hearts are bleeding their
eyes are turned as never before in
Iaith to tho glad time when they
meet to part no more. But thanks
be to God the sorrow is all on this
side OF the river, let US dry our tears
and resolve to meet him and all the
loved and lost in that blessed Coun.
Try where no sigh heaves the bosom.
No tear drains the eye.
On wednesday May Goth his BODY
was laid to rest in the old family
burrying ground beside his Grand
ma aud Grand pa to await the res
erection. The large assembly of
people that gathered at the homo
spoke plainly of the high esterm in
which he was held. The father and
mother have the sympathy of the
entire community in their sore affiic-
tion.

THE APPEAL
OF CHINA
President Will Intercede
for China on Condition
MINISTERS MUST BE SAVED
Ching Telegraphs That all the
Foreigners are Being
Kept Safe Under
an EScort
an Escort.

Washington, July "a. The cor
respondence between the Presiden,
and the Emperor of China, was made
public by the State Department to-
day. The emperor asked the Presi-
dent to mediate after ieciting that
tle imperial government is not 70
blame for the trouble. The Presi-
dents reply was an agreement with
the following conditions:
First China must tell the world
whether the foreign ministers are
alive and if so in what condition.
Second. To put the diplomatic
representatives Of the powers in i'm
mediate and free communication with
their respective governments and to
remove all danger to their lives and
liberty.
Third. To place the imperial au
thorities OF China In communication
with the relief expedition so that CO.
operation may be secured between
them for the liberation of the lcga.
tions, the projections Of foreigners
and the restoration of order. If
these conditions are carried out, ,isaid
the President, he believes the DOW
ers would consent TO an nmicable
settlement OF the trouble. The off.
cials here say that the Presidents
reply is very diplomatic way OF
ascertaining the condition Of the
ministers. They point out that the
President does. not make any rash
promises, and they doubt il the
other powers will now agree TO med
itation even If the ministers arc alive.
NEWS GOES TO EUROPE.
The language of the appeal of tllo
Chinese Emperor, together with the
reply of the President has this morn
ing been cabled to all Amer lean
Ambassadors in Europe and to Min
lister Bucks in japan, for communi-
cation to the powers. 1t is deemed
desirable that the attitude of this
government should be thoroughly
understood by the powers so that no
misconstruction can be placed either
upon the fact that China has appeal
ed to us or that the President has
expressed Willingness. af or China
has rully complied with the condi-
tions laid down, to use his good off
ces in producing an amicable s, tie
meDt of disorders.
w. w. Rockhill, appointed speci Il
envoy to proceed TO China, will sail
August 3rd.. on the steamer Ameri-
can Maru, of the japanese line, from
Seattle. He will leave Washington
Saturday. and will. axe Mrs. Rockhill
with him as far as Japan. His first
stopping place in China will be
Shanghai.
Minister Wu this morning. received
cablegram from Sheng, director of
telegraphs at Shanghai, which states
that the foreign ministers at Pekin
are to be brought to Tien Tsin under
escort. Sheng further states that
the ministers are being supplied with
food and protected by the govern.
ment.

Speedy, Fair and Honorable Ad'
justment to All.
Reasons Why You Should Insure Your Prop
erty with the Abbeville- Greenwood Mu-
tual Insurance Association.

l.. 1t is an Association of the
people, for the people, and we have
thoroughly demonstrated that mu-
.. tual insurance Is practicable fol
and by homefoll>s.
" 2. This Association insures
against fire and lightning, cyclones
tornadces and wind storms,' while
capital companies insure against fire
3. This Association has half a
million dollars of property insured,
and since its organization has paid
thirteen thousand dollars Of losses,
at an average annual assessment OF
onc-half Of one per cent, onc-titth
Of the cost of other companies, and
not in Il single instance has it re-
sorted to the aid Of the Courts to
] collect an assessment or to adjust q
sbloss.
e. 4. By this plan you pay for the
protection you have enjoyed in the
past, and if there is no loss, there
lis no expense while in other com,
:Spanies you pay in advance for pro.
lection you expect to get. though
may not get except paid for dearly
by legal proceedings.
5. This plan is a contract between
neighbors; while in other companies
you enter into contract written
by the company, for the company,
and against you. You cali read and
understand the policy of this COM
pany. Few understand an aver
age insurance policy.
6. Speedy, fair and honorable
adjustment of all losses of property
are made at assessed valuation
when insured, with no three-fourths
clause attached. The man who
values your property is your neig gh-
who also adjusts your loss; while
in other companies. when you sus-
tain a loss, u stranger comes and
looks into the ashes and says what
is to be paid you.
Z. You can with small expense
insure against fire, wind and storm.
while a fire policy is about all you
can afford in the old companies.
You can enjoy the satisfaction of
knowing that if your dwelling is
burned, it is insured in an Associa-
tion composed of friends and leigh
bors, who will pay every dollar at
which it was valued, and not be
subject to thousand and one restric-
tions, imposed by other companies,
more for their advantage than for
the protection of the insured. The
money paid out is kept at home, and
every dollar goes TO the loser of
property, which means the upbuild-
ing your own county:
8. Don't wait to be burned out
and become a burden to your
friends by having them BEG for you,
when absolute projections is yours
by casting in your mite. Demon
stration is a fact, and cooperation
is your duty. Therefore, at once
insure in the Abbeyille-Greenwood
Mutual Insuranca Association.

% The public will observe that the apportion-
ment is very much smaller In some school
districts for the present year than for the
past. This is due TO several c:luses. to wit:
Some School Districts overdrew their appor-
tionment for the previous year, and the over
draft was deducted from the present appos-
tlonmeut. In some districts fewer pupil
have been reported, the total number Of chill
dren, however, has been increased which de
creased the per capita rate.
The main cause of decrease In fund Is the
fact that the appOrtionment for last year
{through an oversighD was more than the
funds actually on hand. appointments are
based not on certainty, but necessarily on
an approx imation. Respectfully,
