BRIEF SKETCH oF
THE L1FE OF
Hon. J. NJ. Epting, the Prom
Using Young Legislator Of
Lexington County Who, Has
Made His Last Speech.

John Michael Epting was born about
80 years ago on his fathers farm in
Saiuda township near Saluda river.
His father is D. [. Epting and his
mother, a daughter of Mr.. Chal Lut-
ton. He received his primary and
academic training at Pine Ridge AGA
DENY about three, miles from his
home. He entered Newberry College
in 1894 and graduated therefrom in
1898 with honor. After his gradua-
ton he taught school atseyeral places
in the county, the Hast in the town
of Brookand, his adopted home.
He was elected q member of the
Houhe of Representatives from Lex
ington county at the general election
in 1904 In q contest with some of the
best men of the county. Again in
1905 he was prevailed upon by his
friends to make therace forthe House
and in the primaries of that year was
nominated by q very fattering vote
In q contest on important issues and
in competition with some of the best
legislative candidates the county af-
forded, all of them older than he, and
was elected again at the general cleo
ton in 1905.
On the floor Of the House he early
made his mark as a fluent and force
full talker, endowed with the courage
to speak his convictions without fear.
He was prominent on the floor as the
champion of the ten hour labor law
for cotton mill employees.
Mr.. Epting was a man OF much
common sense, good Judgment, and
affable manner. His speeches on the
stump were always full of thought
and his position on all public ques-
lions was stated in no uncertain or
equivocal language. During the cam
paign of 1906 he made some excep-
tionably good speeches and was
always we'll received wherever he
attempted to speak.
He married Miss Maggie Lybrand,
daughter of Rev. E. L. Lybrand, OF
Brookland. He had recently built
himself and family a nice home near
that of his father-in-law and was do
ing well. He died on Sunday night,
the second, of gall stones. He was
buried in Macedonia church cemetery
on Tuesday, the fourth. The funeral
services were conducted in the church
by Revs. c.. A. Freed, pastor of Ebe-
nezer church, Columbia, and E. J.
Sox, pastor of st. Peters church,
Lexington Fork. He was baptized,
attended Sunday school and was con-
frmed in Macedonia church, of which
church he was at one time a deacon.
Lexington county has lost one of
her most useful and capable young
men and the. State a valued officer
and citizen. The county mourns his
lose, and while all of US feel the deep
sorrow thus cast upon US by an allwise
God, zone of us can feel that proig-
nant grief which rests like lead on the
stricken heart of his bereaved wife.
We all sympathize deeply with her
and with his parents and with hers,
and pray our Father to give them and
her strength to besr this heavy sorrow
and to look in tender mercy upon the
stricken wife and orphan baby.

An Interesting Case.

In the district court this week there was tried in Chambers, We'd nesday, before Judge Nave, a case arising under Chapter 7S of the Statutes of 1907, whereby those who are unftted for the care of children of tender age may be called into court, if they have any, and deprived of the care and GUS tody of their own children, when subjected by their parents to debas- ing and demoralizing influences. which case attracted much atten- ton.
 In the case before Judge Nave Wednesday, one Agustina NJ. Con- treras, widow, who resides on Nelson avenue, and rents to public prostitutes part of the house in which she lives with her children, the property being her own, was cited to appear in court with two children, girl about seven years of age, and boy of about five years, and show cause why she should not be deprived of their care and custody, under the law, the petition alleging that she is an improper person to exercise control over children of years so tender.
 Back of the petition was the grandfather of the two children, MT. Jesus Contreras from Mazda lena, the deceased father of the lit tie ones having been his son. It is the desire of MT. Contreras, as ex- pressed on the witness stand, to care for and rear correctly the two children, and educate them. Dis trict Attorney w. A. O'Connor was the petitioner, and represented the Territory, in which name under the law, the hearing was instituted.
 At the appointed hour Mrs. Con- treras, accompanied by her at torneys, Frank J. Duffy and s. F. Noon, appeared in court, and it be- came manifest immediately that she would not give up her little ones without stubborn opposition. She had summoned a cloud of witnesses in her behalf, and seemed prepared to make strong show ing. Her witnesses numbered some of the most prominent citizens and business men of Nogales. Beside the two little ones she was cited to bring, Mrs. Contreras was accom- panied by girl of fifteen, daught- CT of marriage preceding that with Contreras, and there was call ed and sworn as witness in her behalf son aged eighteen years, who is young man, we'll known in Nogales, where he is in good en- ployment.
 The witnesses examined on the part of the petitioner were Jesus Contreras, the grandfather, City Marshal Moore, Justice Gildea, and two Mexican prostitutes, who are

tenants of Mrs. Contferas. and ply their vocation in the same house in which she lives, with her child. ren, they occupying other rooms however. Marshal Moore testified az to the general reputation of the neighborhood and the tenancy of the women. Judge Gidea testified to having visited the house as school census marshal, and noting at the time that the woman had a family that was parceled out among a number of different fathers. But from none of them came any evil denCe that the woman is loose her self When on the stand the two prostitutes were questioned directly upon that point, but nothing was elicited. About the only thing was her own admission that she has another child, born out of wedlock since the death of Contreras, which is known as Martinez. Its name, by the way was given by the census marshal. but not by the respon- dent to the citation.)
 After the five witnesses named had been examined Judge Nave took a hand and ordered Mrs. Con- treras sworn and himself conducted her exa imitation. She testified that she owns the house on Nelson avenue, and one other in the vicin- itv. That she rented to the women, and that her rents from both houses aggregate SAP, gold, per month. She testified that she in- creases her revenue by boarding the two women, and a number of other persons. Judge Nave called to the witness stand also the oldest child of the woman, who testified that he is in regular employment. earning $75 per month, gold.
 In lecture read the woman by the Court the judge told her flatly that her course in keeping her children amid such surroundings was reprehensible in the extreme, and that if continued he would have to exercise the power to de- prive her of them reposed in him by the law. He submitted to the mother and son a stipulation, which they accepted, that they seek another and decent part of the city, and there make their home. In consideration of that stipulation the writ was dismissed, with an admonition that at the next term of court the respondent will lose her children if she violates the terms of the stipulation.
 Under the authority vested in the court by the law, Judge Nave created a commission of three pro- bation officers to exercise over the children necessary watchfulness, and report to the Court whether the stipulation is maintained. The commission named consists of Mrs. Allen T. Bird, and Messrs. Frank J. Duffy and $. F. Noon, the counsel who represented the respondent at the hearing.
