his own. Grandma Spicer as we all
alTectionately called her was born at
Ira, n Y, April 8, 1921 and moved
with her parents to Michigan in 1885
where she lived until coming to Kan
sas with her husband in 1857. She
professd religion at seventeen years
and departed this life trusting in the
same Savior whom she found at this
early age. She was married in Michi-
gan in 1899 to j II Spicer and to them
was born one son, Duave d. Mrs
Spicer and her husband were among
the organizers of the Geneva colony
and came with the first settlers to this
part of the county. Mrs Spicer had
been in feeble health for several years
and during the last year failed quite
rapidly. The last month of her life
she was scarcely free from pain at any
time. While all was done that kind
friends, relatives and physician could
do only a temporary relief was af-
forded. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev II McGinnis
from the Congregational church.
The remains were laid away in the

and lovable traits of character. AL

two years prior to her death, her in

Given Solid Vote by HIS People-CoI-

to Support Him.

1t is said by old politicians that no
candidate for State office has ever
before been rendered such an en-
dorsement by has home people as
that given Capt Heyward in the
first primary by the people of Collie
ton. He got 2,25s votes against 135
for the other four candidates-or 80
votes out of every 100 cast.
This is all the more remarkable
when it is remembered that Colleton
has heretofore been very seriously
divided politically. 1t is magnif-

people who know him best.

NEGRO CONSTABLE SHOT.
CowardIy Attack on Ceasar Chandler
by his Son--in-lsw, Jim KeIlehan.

In a difficulty which occurred
Monday morning at Cedar Swamp
Ceasar Chandler, Magistrate " D
Snowden's colored constable, was
shot twice by Jim Kellehan, alias
Chandler, young negro who is
Ceasar's son-in-law.
Kellehan, which seems to be- Jim's
Georgia appellative, is wanted in
that State for highway robbery and
was under the surveillance of the
officers of the law pending the arri-
val of the requisition papers. The
shooting seems to have been cow
ardly assault, provoked only by a
suspicion on the part of Chandler or
Kellehan that Ceassr was employed
to keep an eye on him until the war
rant was ready to be served.
When the two men met in the
road near Benson postoffice Kelle-
han began to curse 'Oeasar and
drawing pistol fred three shots at
him, two of the bullets taking effect
in the arm and hip respectively.
After the shooting Kellehsn jumped
into his buggy and drove away to-
ward Indiantown postoffice, where
his father lives. A warrant has
been issued for his arrest.
Ceassr was brought to Kingstree
and his wounds treated by Dr. W '
Brockington. They are painful but
not very serious.

jure me in the second primary, viz,
that the books and the affairs gener-
