R John SHANNON DROWNED.

Mr.. John T. Shannon, a well-known
young farmer, eldest son Of Mrs. M. E.
Shannon, who lived with his mother at
her home on the Pinckney road, about
81 miles southwest Of Yorkville, was
drowned in Turkey creek last Tuesday
afternoon at about 2 o'clock.
From the facts, as reported, 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Shannon had gone to
the creek to fish, and was last seen
alive by Negro woman, who from her
work in a field near by, noticed him
sitting on a rail at the side of a big hole
in the creek. A little later the woman
noticed that Mr.. Shannon had disap-
peared, and going to the spot she found
him in the water, and in the last stages
of drowning. When assistance arrived,
the unfortunate young man had passed
all hope Of resuscitation.
For about II years, as boy and man,
the deceased had been subject to epi-
lepsy Spa SIMS came upon him with
more or less frequency and always
without warning. During the contin-
uance of these spasms he was as help
less as child, and it is supposed that
il was while he was under the tnf1u-
ence of one Of them that he fell into the
creek. The fact is not positively
known, of course: but there Is no other
rea soma BILE hypothesis upon which the
sad tragedy can be satisfactorily ac-
counted for.
Mr. Shannon was aged SO years and
s months, was a member of the Pres
byterian church, and was young man
of good character. who had the respect
and esteem of many friends. He leaves
an estate valued at several thousand
dollars, inherited from his grandfather.
the late Mr.. Thomas Lominack. He
leaves a widowed mother. three broth
ers and two sisters. The brothers are
Messrs. E. R., Asa and H. w. Shannon,
and the sisters are Miss Maggie Shan
non and Mrs. w. A. Haffner.

THE remarks of Mr.. Bryan on the
McI,aurin movement in South Carolina
and the South, are interesting; but they
would be more so if they would go into
a discussion of that Charlotte speech
instead of resting content with sugges-
tions about aristocracy and plutocracy.
The South may have been aristocratlc
at one time; but it is now the most
democratic portion of the Union, caRd
as to being plutocratic, the charge is
certainly unjust. Our people are mere
ly trying to secure such comforts and
pleasures and conveniences as are to be
had as the result Of honest industry,
intelligently directed. They have no
prejudice against the wealth that IS
properly acquired, and we do not think
that even Mr.. Bryan can arouse much
feeling among the more intelligent OF
them along this line. Again, the last
campaign demonstrated pretty clearly
that Mr.. Bryan has but little sympa-
thy with the main purpose OF the
Southern people to rid themselves of
the last danger of Negro political dom
ination or influence. In the last cam
paign, the Republicans tried most per-
sistently to bring the great commoner
out on the justice Of the North Carolina
effort to get rid of the Negro vote; but
at that time Mr.. Bryan was too shrewd
to allow himself to be trapped into any
expression of opinion on the subject.
We would be glad to know how he
stands on this matter, and then we will
know better how to take him with re-
gard to other questions of less import
ance.

onel' "'All right said Daggett, go
ahead He went ahead and scaled the
wall. Then he hauled the colonel up
and soon had the two companies on the
walls They found there number of
Russians who had got to the top during
the night; but were afraid to go out to
sally port in the immediate vicinity
and clear it. Daggett and his men went
through the sally port and let in Riley
and his guns. Then it was all over.
We musn't be vainglorious about the
American soldier. He isn't great dis
ciplinarian. His collar doesn't always
fit just right and his leggins may lack
a few loops of being fastened. But
when it comes to fighting he gets there.
It's my private opinion that the Ameri-
can soldier is the best killer on the
EARTH"

THE Union people, who recently ran
upon the fact that the historic flag that
was presented to Sergeant Jasper, on
account of his heroic act at Fort Moul-
trie. is in the Tower of London, has In
voked the assistance Of Senator NC
Laurin in running the matter down.
AS he always does when appealed to in
behalf of any worthy object, the sena-
tor has taken the matter up and is CIV
ing his hearty cooperation. He has
commenced with the state department,
and before he quits he will either get
that flag or know the reason why.

GENERAL c. IRVINE WALKER.
Short Sketch Of the Commander Of the S. C..
Division U. ".

Division U. c. v.
The following sketch Of Major Gene
raj C. Irvine Walker, commander Of the
South Carolina Division United Confed-
crate Veterans, comes from Mr.. D. G.
Anderson, of Fort Mill. Mr.. Anderson
was a private in Gardens Palmetto
Light Battery, Haskelrs battalion,
Longstreet's corps, A. N. ":
Major General c. Irvine Walker, COM
manding South Carolina Division U. G.
", was elected unanimously to the
command in September, 1895, and is
now the senior division commander OF
the Army of Northern Virginia depart
ment He has been reelected una nj
mously, annually, since. The division
has grown and prospered so largely
during his term of service, that his
comrades will not consent to his retire
ment.
He is a Charlestonian, born in 1912,
entered the Confederate army at 19
years of age, and, in fact, did duty
with the corps of cadets S. c. M. A, at
the time of the firing on the Star of
the West" before his 18th birthday.
Having graduated at the South Carroll
ma Military academy, April, 1851, he
was appointed adjutant Of the 10th S.
c. regiment, and rose to be its lieuten-
ant colonel, having fought his way up
with distinguished gallantry. When
Colonel Manigault was promoted briga-
dier general, he was made adjutant
general Of the brigade, and subsequent
ly, there being a vacancy In the lieu
tenant colonelcy of the 10th S. c. reg
iment, every officer of the regiment
waived rank, and he was appointed to
that position. 1t was particularly COM
plimentary that every step of his pro-
motion should have been given him by
those with whom he fought, and who
appreciated his high courage and splen-
did manhood.
He was in the army Of the West un-
der Bragg, Johnson and Hood. He was
in every engagement with his COM
mand, except when absent sick or
wounded. He was desperately, almost
fatally, wounded in front Of Atlanta,
July the 2Sth, 1864, and slightly wound
ed at Kinston, 1865. He was in the Con-
federate service from the firing Of the
first shot, until the final surrender at
Greensboro N. G.. Since the war he
has taken a prominent part in the pres
ervation Of the memories of the glorious
struggle. While an ardent Confederate,
he is a progressive, go-ahead man, and
has been among the leaders in his COM
munity in all that advanced the welfare
Of his beloved country.
