then the mother, seeing what had
been done, screamed and started
from him, when he shot her. She

For some time past the mayor has
been waging a vigorous warfare upon

many threats have been made against

relief.

North Carolina, having descended
from an old and prominent family
that for generations made it's i'm
press upon the affairs-social !

years ago, where he has since re-
sided chiefly at "Edgewood" being
a life long friend of the lamented
Mrs. Lucy Holcombe Pickens. He
loved the people and home of his
adoption.
Major Kirkland was a gallant
Confederate soldier, rendering
active and valuable service upon

ment of his death he loved the
South--her traditions, her history
her people.
BY profession Major Kirkland

field Of activity he achieved NOR,
than ordinary distinction. As q
result of an accident in the noun
tains of North Carolina be lost. a
limb which rendered him physi-
cally unable to longer engage in

veyed the route of the present
Charleston aud Western Carolina
railroad, doing similar work
throughout the entire south. The
