day. The former is quite badly atfiict-
ed with rheumatism.
IL this paper were to publish tho

ported to be shooting chickens out of

at the number. Game Warden Brindlc

to happen along unexpectedly and
catch some Of the offenders.

A runaway occurred at noon to-day
that might have been accompanied
by fatal results. but which fortunately
injured no one. Norman Roop was
driving a team hitched to q mower,
when the team became unmanageable
and started to run with the mower in
gear. The boy did his best to stop
them until the jar OF the mower un-
seated him. The team then ran into
a wagon occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. G.
II. Craig. The sickle bar caught a
hind wheel OF the wagon, turning that
vehicle over and throwing the occu-
pants out. The sickle OF the mower
passed dangerously near TO Mrs. Craig
as the team sped by The runaways
were stepped with but little damage
to anything or anybody.
There's a tall, rk-complexioned
bachelor down Rrofy way whom we be

to the post, then removed the bridl,
and hung it on the post. The old MAJ

to give the governor due credit for a
desire to see the law enforced, and
that his Indignation at the laxity dis

yet we remember that other demo

what were the results? The fact is
that the officials are not really the

the prohibition law enforced, or they

Death Of Iohn N. Grant.

Tuesday, June IL, 1907, as the sun
was sinking below the horizon the
spirit of John N. Grant, better
known as slack" Grant, winged it's
flight to the "Great Unknown"
He had been a great sufferer for a
year or more, caused from burn
when child.
He was born May 21, 1888. He
was aplain, conscientious man, without
deceit, just simply what he was, and
speaking what he thought.
He was good husband, loving
father, an affectionate brother and a
friend in need, ever ready and will
ing to help those in need or trouble.
He never made any profession of re-
iigion, holding the standard so high,
and fearing he could not live up to
it, hating to see hypoorite; he saw
so many profess religion do things
he wouldn't stoop to do. He saw
his end on earth approaching and
! gave up to die, saying he was ready
to 60.
In his death Oconee has lost one
OF her staunchest citizens, the chill
dren a loving father, the wife an af
fectionate and ever devoted husband
But we hope our loss is his eterna
gain; and the dear form that wa,
racked and drawn 80 with pain her,
is basking in Gods sunshine of love
He leaves wife, seven children
number of grand children, besides
a host of friends to mourn his death
After funeral services, conducted
by Rev. Il. G. Ligon, his remains
were laid to rest in the Baptist GENE.

South Carolina Day at jamestown.

June % is South Carolina day at
the Jamestown Exposition. That
day is the anniversary of the battle
of Fort Moultrie. The Charleston
Post has the following to say about
that matter: "The twenty-eighth
day of June, the anniversary of the
great battle of Fort Moultrie, when
Sir Peter Parker's fleet was driven
out Of Charleston harbor, scoring,
perhaps, the most important repulse
sustained by the British during the
war of the Revolution, has been set
aside by the management Of the
Jamestown Exposition to be OBJ
served as Carolina day as it has been
observed in Charleston these hun
dred and thirty years. The date has
been well selected for the formal rec,
ognition by South Carolina of the
exposition, in which it is most
important participant. Arrange
ments have been made for a very
interesting and delightful OCCASION .

ent in large numbers on the day
