Reunion of the Survivors Of Gallant
Company.

For several years past the
survivors of Co. K, 9th S. G.
Regt., have held their annua.
reunions in Kingstree, and or
last Thursday they met here il
response to the call of the presi
dent. The roll-call showed the
presence of 8 of the II living
members, viz: R. S. Smith,
president, W ] Ferrell, W D Nc
Fadden, J F Chandler, Geo J
Graham, J S Mccullough, A W
Flagler and w E Mcknight. IT
was gratifying to learn that
none of their comrades had pass
ed away since the last meeting
although the absentees of the
company were sorely missed,
especially Veterans S j Taylor
and j P Epps.
After the minutes were read
and adopted all the old officers
were reelected and also two
vice-presidents chosen, W. Fer
rell and S ] Taylor.
After many jokes and half for
gotten camp fire stories retold
the veterans repaired to the
Central Hotel where they were
entertained as the guests OF
Sheriff Geo ] Graham, the young
est member of the gallant COM
pany, whose ranks are now re-
duced from over 100 to II.
At the meeting, W. F Clayton
Esq, who saw service in the G.
S., navy, delivered an eloquent
and appropriate address in re-
spouse to an invitation from the
company.
Mr. W H McElveen of Spring
Bank presented the survivors
with a complete roll of the origi
nal company, which was highly
appreciated.
Before adjourning the com
pany accepted an invitation
from Veteran S ] Taylor to meet
at Greflyville as his guests on
the 3rd Thursday in October,
1905.

Death Of a Negro Preacher.

Rev William A Hollon, pastor
of the local A NJ E church., died
last Sunday afternoon at >
O'Clock. The cause of his death
is said to have been heart dis
ease. The remains were taken
to Charleston Monday for inter
ment. Rev Hollon had lived in
kingstree several years and bore
the respect of all who knew him.
He was quiet and inoffensive
and attended to his own affairs.
The death of such a man, regard
ess of his color, is a loss to any
community.

THE CIVIL DOCKET,
Three Interesting Cases That We're
Tried Last Week:

i
Three civil causes of interest
were tried before the court of
common pleas, commencing on
on Thursday and continuing
through Saturday.
The first in order was that of
Thomas Wilson VS.. the Progress.
i've Milling Co., in which the
plaintiff was represented by
Messrs Wilcox & Wilcox OF
Florence, and the defendant by
Messrs W L Bass and s G W
Shipp of the Florence bar. The
jury in this case returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff.
Next came the case of r j
Parrot, administrator, VS. the A
ICL railroad. This was a suit
for damages in the sum OF
$4,000 for the killing of L Fl
Parrot by the train on the eve
ming of January 4, 1904. Messrs
Leroy Lee and W A Holman,
of Charleston, represented the
plaintiff and Messrs Gilland &
Gilland and W H Fitzsimmons,
of Charleston, the defendant.
This case was stubbornly fought
on both sides and the jury found
a verdict for the defendant.
On Saturday the case of Miss
ED Moore VS. the A CL railroad
was beard. This was a damage
suit for S. 900 based on injuries
received by Miss Moore from
cutting her hand on a piece of
broken glass in the door of a
passenger coach last June while
on her way from her home in
South Boston. Va, to attend the
wedding of her brother, MIR W S
Moore of Lake City. WI Clay.
ton, ESQ, of Florence appeared
for the plaintiff and the defend
ant was represented by Messrs
Gilland & Gilland and W Fl
Fitzsimmons.
During the progress of the
trial counsel on both sides were
inspired to put forth their best
