Mr.. Weltorn was opposed to secession

posed to fighting the North with arms,

positions of adjutant, colonel and major
respectively. he also took an active
part in the militia before and after the
war and was we'll posted on military tao:
tics. After reviewing Col. Welborn's
troops on one occasion, Gov. Allston is
quoted as saying, "Col. Welborn is the
best colonel in the State" Mr.. We'll
born was one of the most prominent
| farmers of Oconee county. During the
recent years of his life, however, he
spent most of Ills time In visiting his

Strickland and Mrs. Elrod, of Pelzer;
Mrs. Ferguson, Of Texas; Mrs. Hughes,
Martin j. Welborn, Thomas Welborn,
Mrs. w. w. McWhorter and Judge M.

sional and business men of the enter
prising city of Waco. This is his first
visit to his "native heath" since he went
to the Lone Star State nineteen years
ago. He says great changes have taken
place here, and marked improvements

he is still Henry and they are de-
lighted to look up to him as in the days
