Another Good Man Gone.


Within the last few weeks Abbeville has
been sorely afflicted in the removal by death
OF some OF its best people, and now IL is ouT
duty to record the death Of ]. Frasier Living
ston. On last Thursday evening, feeling not
quite well, he made known his condition
and went to bed. A few hours later II was
thought advisable to summon physician
His family sat with him, and after being sick
for ten or twelve hours, he breathed his last
at three O'Clock Friday morning, May 20, 1904
The news OF his death was q shock to the
people Of the city, very few, II any of whom,
had heard of his illness.
Mr.. Livingston was "a years OF age. or our
citizens only the Hon. w. H. Parker and Mr..
n. I. Tusten have reached greater age. And
these worthy patriarchs acted as honorary
pail bearers to their deceased friend and
nelghbor.
The funeral service was conducted In the
Presbyterian church by the pastor, the Rev.
]. Lowrie Wilson, d. D.. and the members OF
Clinton Lodge No. A. F. NJ. performed the
burial service at Upper Long Cane.
A better man or a kindlier gentleman than
]. Frasier Livingston would be hard to find.
In his death men In all the walks OF life have
lost friend. He was friend and brother TO
rs all. and there was no man who did not feel
glad to meet him and to receive his kindly
greeting. Genial and warm-hearted, he gave
strength TO the weak and impaired courage
TO the strong. Heightened and honorable, his
conduct was exemplary and his speech was
clean and good. In his heart was the law OF
kindness, and he spoke only words OF cheer
and performed only deeds of friendship.

children, of itself priceless heritage. And
now that his earthly warfare Ia over, he has
laid his armour down, having conquered his
last enemy death. and has crossed over the
river to join that valiant army of redeemed
souls that no man can number, there to rest
in peace and avail the coming Of loved ones
who shall join him on the eternal shore.
! The funeral services we're conducted at II
O'Clock Sunday morning In the Presby terian
church, by Rev. ]. Lowrie Wilson, D. D., in
the presence of Il large congregation.
/ Tie Masonic fraternity then took charge of
| his body and consigned II To the grave in Up.
per Long Cane cemetery with Masonic hon
ors. Thus closed the life Of another one OF
our citizens " no will he missed in the COM
munily.
The people of this city extend sincere gym
pathy to the hereaved family "a wife, sister
and four children who survive him.

Corrupt Election Methods.

We sometimes see notices in some OF the
newspapers which lead US to believe that in
some counties the use Of liquor and other cor.
rupt methods are resorted TO In primary cleo
tions.
As far as we are informed the campaigns
in Abbevllle county have been conducted on
high plane. and the elections have been as
fair as could be expected.
The public sentiment in this county is such
that If any candidate should use LIQUOR In tbe,
campaign, the act would ensure his defeat
This Ia recognized as fact, and nobody
would try to corrupt voters in this way,
Soon after the war, few candidates made
liberal subscriptions to churches in which
they were not especially interested, but an
intelligent and an honest public set the seal
or condemnation on this practice. Al pre
sent no religious congregation would author
lee any Of its representatives TO sell or r.
pledge their votes for little money. And T..
guy canoloate should undertake to buy the
voles OF any congregation the motive nj
oouor would meet with deserved rebuke.
Voters may not always seek the best man.
ana tney may vote for favorIte candidates be-
cause OF personal friendship for them. bu,
tne 'oea OF selling their votes for a drink OF
nquor or for little subscription to a church
no longer entertained in Abbevile county.
Inc dead beat who would borrow a quarter
from candidate has about gone out OF bust
hess' The experienced candidate knows ex
actly how to size up the man who would Dor
fo" quarter and promise TO vote for thu
green candidate. The new candidate, how.
ever mas not learned that the same dead beat
would borrow quarter from any other can
didate, and make the same promise TO vot,
1or each. When candidates compare notes,
the borrowers are known.
Except IN the borrowing OF money. or the
effort TO borrow money, we believe our elec
tions are without corruption.

COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
Abbeville Division.
AbGeville, S. G..

ET IS WITH PLEASURE WE
B announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business OF
the "County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of America" in Abbeville Coun.
|ty, independent Of the Parent AssO-
citation whose headquarters are at Uu.
ion, :. &.
The purpose of the Association is TO
secure TO the family of each member
nf the SAME who may die, one dollar
for every member belonging to the AS
sociation ut the time Of his or her
death.
The idea in cGtenSO is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. 1t is more like family af-
fair than anything else. You only
pay when one dies. If you join now
your first payment of $3.50 pays you
up until first of January, 1908, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would he called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
1t is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insurance al actual cost.
ANY white persons between the ages
Of eighteen and fiftyfve, male or fe-
male, may become member Of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached after that M
one over thirty can get in, and he only
to replace a deceased member. If,
therefore, you are over thirty years OF
age this is the only chancs you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it TO yourself to provide something for
their protection in case you are taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study our plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up at once.
Remember that this is purely home
institution the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
death the claim paid Immediately on
! notice Of death of the mem ber; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much ''red tape" to be OBJ
served in order to collect death claim
and that the officers Of The company
are your own people.
If there is any additional informa-
ton as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any OF
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.
