Confederate JTor Records

Referring to a Lancaster lady
and her literary work, Mrs. Lot.
tie b. Foster, the Columbia State
OF last Thursday makes the fol-
lowing complimentary remarks :
A very valuable compilation
Of Confederate war records has
been received at the office of the
commissioner OF Confederate
rolls. The records were sent by
Mrs. Lottie b. Foster, OF Lancas-
ter, and were compiled from
authentic sources during and di-
rectly after the Civil war. 1t
contains complete history of the
gallant men from Lancaster
county who defended the "South-
ern Cause"
The compilation contains 22S
closely written pages, and if
printed would make large vol
ume. In addition to the history
and roster of the men who served
from Lancaster county, it con-
tains other very valuable iAfor-,
nation concerning the move-
ments of both the Confederate
and Federal armies in South
Carolina.
Too much praise cannot be
given Mrs. Foster for the noble
work she has done in preserving
and recording this important his
torical data.

Cause of Mr.. Heufh,s Death

An autopsy revealed the fact
that Mr.. j. M. Heath's sudden
death was caused by the bursting
of an aneurism of the aorta, pos,
terror to the stomach and pressing
against the pancreas. DR.. j. F.
Mackey says that an operation
would have availed nothing, that
death was inevitable VIII ether he
had remained at home or gone
away. The supposition that his
trouble was gall stone was there
fore wrong.

TUSCALOOSA.
Location of County Court House Is
Still an Undecided Question.

Tuscaloosa. January 3-(Special) 1.-THE
location of the county courthouse is still
an undecided question The commissioners
met yesterday and annuled the purchase
which they made at recent meeting.
The lot purchased for the purpose was
the south half of the block on which the
Presbyterian church is located, but as
objections were made by the Presby
terians 1t was necessary to abandon the
idea. The Little lot, just south Of the
present courthouse, is now considered the
best location, and if it can be secured
from the owner at a reasonable amount
IL is thought that it will prove satisfac-
tory to all.
The Rev. II. c. Davis, who has been
in the city visiting his family has gone
to New Orleans, where he will occupy
the pulpit of the Carondeet Methodist
church.

Joyable one.

Meyer-Marx company. one of the largest
wholesale whisky houses In the state, and
their success Is largely due to his untir-
ing efforts. Mr.. Meyer has sold his inter-

there are no other witnesses, that he had
promised her money to return to her
work at Huntsville. and failing to carry
out his promise a row arose and he
fraied her, and as she got lose from his
grasp and fled he threw an axe after
her and she then took the axe and re-
turning to the room struck him a blow
that felled him to the floor, after which
she struck a number of blows that finally
killed him. She then dragged the body
to another room and, wrapping the bat
tered mead in garment, left, locking the
house. She surrendered and was given a
preliminary hearing by Hon. Porter Bib
