DISMISSAL
IS RECALLED
PRESIDENT CHANGES HIS MIND AND
WILL ALLOW JOHNSON TO SERVE
OUT HIS TERN
THE DEPARTMENT is RETICENT
Concerning Il Case. johnson did not
Resign his Office

Washington, Dec, 20 The de-
pertinent Of Justices recommenda-
tion that w. B. johnson be dis
missed as United States Attorney
for the Southern District of Indian
Territory has been recalled, and it
is probable that Mr.. Johnson will
be suffered TO serve until the end Of
his term, which will be Jan. r6.
Not only was the dismissal recon-
mended. but it may be said on
good authority tnat the President
decided OH that course, but very
shortly afterward reversed himself,
to use a phrase common with the
lawyers.
The greatest possible reticence is
observed at the department of Jus
tice concerning this case. In reply

whether the indictments against
the members of the firm Of Mans-
feld, McMurray & Cornish and
Gov. Johnston and ex Gov. Mosley
Of the Chickasaw Nation had been
nolle pressed ia accordance with
the instructions OF the Department
of Justice, il was said that they
had not. Why they had not been
dismissed can not be learned auth
oritatively in Washington. The
gossip is that Mr.. Johnson has per
emptorily declined to obey the in
structions Of the Department of
Justice.
The report was put forth last
week that Mr.. Johnson had resign
ed but it was said at the Depart
ment of Justice this afternoon that
there is no record to confirm that
report. The only result Of that re-
port was the statement of Mr..
Johnson that he had not resigned.
This was followed within three
days with the Recommendation that

Another Good Woman Gone.

Miss Ellen Waite departed this life on
the morning of May s, in the SD year of
her age, and was laid to rest in the
South Union cemetery on the day follow
ing.
She was born and reared near New
Market, then in Abbeville county, but
came to Oconee county about 80 years
ago. She was sister of the late S.
Waite and Mrs. Mary Malone, the only
surviving member of the family.
She professed religion early in life and
joined the Baptist church, of which she
lived consistent member until her
death. She was a great lover of the
Bible, which she read and studied
daily. She had been in declining health
the last few years of her life, though
she bore the pain and affliction with
Christian fOrtitude. She had been con-
fined to her bed for several weeks at the
home of Jas. Malone, where she was
we'll cared for. She suffered a great
deal and death came to her as blessed
relief.
While our hearts are filed with sad
ness, we realize that our loss is heavens
ga n and we bow submissively to the will
G. Him who doeth all things we'll. We
know that she was Christian and we do
not mourn her death as one who has no
hope, but rejoice that she has reached
her heavenly home. Yes, she has gone,
but we shall meet her. After all, We
shall not have to await a great while for
our reunion in the skies. One of these
glad days our Father shall say to us, 'lt
is enough"

will relieve the painp The quick relief
which this liniment affords makes rest
and sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times it's cost. Many who
have used it hoping only for a short re-
lief from suffering have been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the
relief became permanent. Mrs. V. II.

PendIeton's Memorial Day.

Pendleton, May 12-Under the auspices
of the Pendleton Chapter, United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, Memorial Day
was observed in a manner simple but i'm
pressive. Camp Tally Simpson, United
Confederate Veterans, j. G. Stribling
commandant, was we'll represented in
the procession formed of official members
of the chapter, school girls, veterans and
headed by two young boys bearing aloft
banner inscribed "Our Confederate
Dead"
The handsome flag OF the camp, borne
by the sponsor, had inscribed upon it's
silken folds the name of several color
bearers, together with that of the gallant
young soldier from whom the camp takes
it's name.
The procession was formed at the
Presbyterian church. where Rev. f. w.
Gregg delivered the invocation. Pro-
ceeding to the four cemeteries the graves
of all the honored dead were decorated
by loving hands. The closing exercises
of the day at the Episcopal church con-
sisted of a prayer by Rev. X. G. Finley, a
short speech to the Veterans and the
presentation of button-ho bouquets by
several young girls.
At4 o'clock in the afternoon a commit
tee from the chapter decorated the graves
of the Confederate dead at the Old Stone
Church. They were assisted by dele
cation from Clemson College.
The historic old cemetery of the Pen
dleton Episcopal church deserves more
than passing notice, for among its sacred
dead lie tho ashes of several distinguished
sons of South Carolina, noted in the field
of battle and in the navy and prominent
in the nations councils. Here may be
found the grave of Governor Frank Burt,
who was sent from this State to govern
the far away new territory of Nebraska.
He died at Bellview, Neb., on October IS.
1854. while still in Office. He was aged
54 years and 6 months. The marble slab,
which bears the marks of Times defacing
fingers, was erected by the Pendleton
Lodge of American Free Masons. On the
face is engraved the mystic sign of the
Masonic order and on the base the motto,
| 'Requiescat in pace" Governor Burt
was born in Pendleton and lived for a
number of years at beautiful country
| home near the town.
