try, her father, Benjamin Magee, of the

siderably over one hundred years ago,
and her mother, Elizabeth. or Betty,

scious, she never recovered her speech,

and without suffering. On Sunday her
remains were carried to Fair Play, her
old home, and inferred in the cemetery

relatives and friends, who had known
and loved her all their lives.

had made her home for about thir..-
three years; Warren r. D. Mason, of
Danielsville, Ga; Elijah N. MASON, of
Chico, Texas, and William A. Mason, of
Lavonia, Ca, besides numerous grand
and great grand children. One son,
John Fitzpatrick Mason, was killed in the

Cupid Ends Damage Suit.

A Spartanburg dispatch says that the
case of the two young women, Mary
Moore and Bertha Hooker, who were
left by a Spartanburg passenger train,
which they were attempting to board in
that city last year, has been settled by
compromise. There is somewhat of a
romance connected with the compromise.
The Southern offered $1,000 as a COM
promise some time ago, but j. II. Mar
shall, of Mississippi, an uncle of the
young ladies, who prosecuted the case
for them, refused to accept the amount.
Later, Miss Moore was married and went
to Virginia to live, and not caring to be
travelling up and down the country to
attend court, the case has been settled
largely on her account. The young
women were hurrying to board No. 80,
which had just rolled into the yards from
the North, when. they allege, the con-
ductor on the train called "all aboard"
and pulled the bell cord, causing the
train to pull out before they could get
aboard. They further allege that they
called to the conductor to stop the train,
but that he did not do 80.

THINKS he HAS a BED OF laAaaLg.
7. ". Hall Has Discovered Deposits on Ms
Place Near WaIhalls.

The Anderson Mail, of August 25th,
says: ct. N. Hall, of Westm inster. is
confident that he has discovered bed
of marble on plantation which he owns
about six miles above Walhalla. He
will have sample of the marble gotten
out, and will send it to III. @. Beattie,
president of the Blue Ridge Railroad.
Mr.. Beattie Ia very much interested, and
said yesterday that if the marble turns
out to be of good quality, and of suffi-
cient quantity, the Blue Ridge Railroad
will build line from Walhalla out to
the quarry. The outcome of the test
of the marble will be awaited with a
great deal of interest. Some of it will
be tested in Whites marble yard in this
city"
There are number of places around
Walhalla containing large deposits of
marble and granite of various grades,
from the ordinary grades generally used
as building material to the best for
monumental and ornamental work. G.
FL. Mayhew, practical marble man, says
that within eight miles of Walhalla there
is one of the largest marble deposits in
the whole country, and the specimens
taken from it are susceptible of the high.
est polish. The Vermont and other
high grades of marble, he says, are not
superior to a large portion of this de-
posit. The only thing lacking is the
money necessary to open and operate a
marble quarry equal to the best to be
found anywhere. There is an abund-
ance of marble around Walhalla to sup
ply all demands for the various grades
for years to come. The only thing
needed is some one familiar with this
line of business, and who can control
the necessary capital TO work the
deposits.
We hope Mr.. Hall will find the de-
posits on his place we'll worth develop
ing, and that he will succeed in an effort
to open them at an early day.
