Death OF Nc. E. f. Alexander.

the many friends of Mr.. e. F. Alexap-
der throughout Oconee and Pickens
counties will regret to learn of his death,
which occurred at his home, near Pleas
ant Ridge, in this CO ,nty, on Sunday
last He had been a constant sufferer
for seven or eight months, during which
time he bore patiently his affliction and
pain. Mr.. Alexander was in his 64th
year, and was q native of Oconee, having
been born in that section of this county
cut off from Pickens District. He was q
faithful soldier in the Confederate army,
serving from the opening to the close of
the war in Sharp's Company of Cavalry,
as a member of which he was recognized
as a brave and daring follower of the
Stars and Bars. In early life he con-
nected himself with the Baptist church,
and through his long and useful life was
consistent member of this branch of
the Christian church. At the time of
his death he was deacon in Pleasant
Ridge church. Earnest and thoughtful
in all things, he was jealous and hum
be follower of the meek and lowly Naza-
rene, and in his death good citizen and
faithful Christian has been called to his
reward. He leaves wife, five sons and
six daughters in his immediate home to
mourn his death. Two brothers, Messrs.
Jacob B. and Jordan Alexander, and one
sister, Mrs. Nancy Ann Madden, all of
whom reside in this county, survive him.
His remains were laid to rest at Pleasant
Ridge cemetery Monday afternoon, the
funeral services being conducted by Rev.
j. M. Sanders. The sympathy of many
friends goes out to the bereaved ones in
their sore aff}iction.

The walhaIIa Comedy Company

Gave splendid entertainment at Wal
halla Court House Tuesday evening to q
large and appreoiative audience. "a
Noble Outcast," a popular drama, in
four acts, was admirably rendered. The
many fine points of the play were brought
out clearly and impressively. The cast
of characters was as follows: Gerald
Weston, known as Jerry, the Outcast, r.
q. Merriok; Col. Matthew Leo, South
ern banker, j. A. Steck; James Black
burn, his nephew, III. Graeme Thomp-
son; Jack Worthington, Blackburn's
rival, George Seaborn; Mrs. Lee, wife of
the Colonel, Miss Fannie Crisp; France,
disputed possession, Miss Alice Fret
well; Sadie, Faithful, but Free" Miss
Emma Merrick; Officer, Frank Bren-
necke. The acts were interspersed with
music, both vocal and instrumental, by
Misses Lille Thompson and Annie Yer
ner, of Walhalla; Mrs. K. b. Thompson,

LYceum Entertainments.

Mr.. Jas. Thompson has just closed a
contract with the Southern Lyceum
Bureau, of Louisville, KY, for lyceum
course at Walhalla. The Southern is the
oldest lyceum bureau in this part of the
country and handles only the best enter
tainers on the platform, and the people
of Walhalla should consider themselves
very fortunate indeed in being able to
see the platform artists that Mr.. Thomp-
son has secured for them, as we can
truthfully say that not another town in
South Carolina with twice the popula-
tion that we have will be able to see the
same people. 1t is quite financial risk
to run, but knowing the people as Mr..
Thompson does, he did not hesitate to
pick the best that the Southern had.
The lyceum will be run in the interest of
the Walhalla Silver Cornet Band. The
contract calls for Rev. S. p. Jones,
Ed. l.. Barker, the Chicago Glee Club,
Hendrickson & Rosani and the Boston
Symphony Club. These are all first class
people and come highly recommended
by tho public and the press. Season
tickets will be sold for $4.0O each. With
each ticket is guarantee that every one
will be pleased or your money refunded.
The season will open on September 10
with that prince of platform artists, Mr..
Ralph Bingham.

Would Open Old Wounds.

A terrible effort is being made this
week to stir mp old political feuds and
reopen wounds that have healed. This
ia not the work of men who love their
State better than their selfish ambitions.
Factionalism is dead and the man who
tries to bring 1t to life should be buried
politically. One of the best results of
Capt. Heyward's election will be that he
will represent the entire people. He ia
the candidate of no faction or set of men.
He is being Enthusiastically supported
by men who eight and ten years ago
opposed each other bitterly. For the
first time In many years we will have a
Governor who cannot be claimed by this
class or that class. He will be for all.
The alliance grip Is given and tho call
to arms sounded, but the Alliancemen,
az the returns from the election show,
are standing by the only man in the race
for Governor who has always been a
farmer, who has never before run for
public Office and whose ability and
character are of the highest. The peo-
pie will elect the next Governor despite
the politicians.

Appealing 10 rnIman.

Since the primary last week frantic
appeals have been made 60 Senator Till
man by panioky candidates. They wish
to be saved from defeat IL it cen possi
bly, be done. They are now willing tc
make any pledges of loyelty and support
TO Tillman. Bnt the Senator is Just 8
little too astute. He has been Ia politics
too long to risk kis popularity by at
tempting at the last moment to over.
como n tremendous lead. Then it Il
doubtful IL the Senator really cares to go
to the rescue. He may fear that his
friends, made too powerful, will at-
tempt TO undermine his castle.
Then, again, so far as the guberna-
torial contest Is concerned, it is credit
ably reported that the Senator, weeks
ago, said how the wind was blowing and
picked Hayward as the winner.
The betting men are offering big odds
on the leader in this race. a lead oi
$4,000 votes has never been overcome in
the history of South Carolina primaries
and 1t probably never will.
