1.-THE sureness Of this judgment is a
truth that has converted sinners into
saints. and in a day changed the entire
course Of human lives. But in spite Of it,
we trample Gods commandments under

to bark. They barlSed and barked and It

the little animal out of commission. The

CHICAGO REDS PLAN DEATH.
City Officials Receive Sensational
and Threatening Letters.

Chicago, March 19.-It became
known yesterday that sensational
letters, threatening novel and hide
GUS forms of assassination, have been
received lately by Mayor Busse,
Chief Of Police Shippy and Assistant
Chief Schuetler
The letters enclosed a dozen or
more small steel points. They were
bright and sharp. The letter to the
mayor was written in a good, regu-
lar hand and couched in grammati-
cal, If terrible terms.
The writer said he was one Of a
number Of persons banded together
to k Il the mayor and other city Off
cials. A revolver, he said, had been
constructed to shoot cartridges COM
posed Of steel points, samples of
which were enclosed. The shooting
would be noiseless and the steel
points, the writer said, We're dipped
IN deadly poison.
By means of this gun a dose of
fatal poison could be shot into the
system Of the intended victim and
death would ensue at once.

A Friend Who knew Him Well Pays
Tribute to His Memory.

= u. IA
Newry, March 2O.- Editors Keo-
wee Courier: 1t hts been for ages a
custom among men, when a distin-
guished and useful man dies, to me-
morialize his departure.
/ Now since the State has lost hy
death one of it's most patriotic, USE
full and desirable citizens, 1t becomes
our duty, sad as 1t is, to say in pub
lie way a word In memory and re-
spect for our distinguished dead, the
memory Of whom for his many kind
acts in the hour of need toward the
writer will never fade away, but for
ever live green in our memory.
The writer, by intimate business
relations, had the pleasure OF being
with or near our distinguished friend
for over ten years, and during all
these years never once knew Of our
subject doing one thing that was not
honorable and above board. He
might, like all of us, by the cares
and vexations of life at times lose
his temper and say things that he
perhaps afterwards regretted: but
whatever else might be said of him,
this certainly cannot be said, that
he was not a benefactor, patriot
and useful citizen. All Of that is
fully attested by the splendid pio4
neer industry which was begun in
our count at Newry, on the banks
of Little River, in the year 1898, in
the way of one of the best cotton
manufacturing industries in the
State, and which paved the way for
the other like industries in our coun-
ty, each of them proving blessing
to the farmers and working people
far and wide, thus proving him a
benefactcr to the people of Oconee,
not only while he was with us, but
after he has crossed The mvst.c river
to take up his abode forever in the
great and mysterious beyond, from
which no traveller has ever returned.
|! We make these remarks as tri-
butte Of well-earned respect toward
our DISTINGUISHED friend. the Hon.
William Ashmead Courtenay, whose
great heart has ceased to beat and
whose octive brain has ceased. and
whose lifelcss form has been laid to
rest by loving hands beneath beauti-
full Magnolia's sod, in the historic old
city of Charleston. Peace to his
| ashes! Beneath Magnolia's shady
boughs, and over them bloom for
