IN MEMORY OF MRS. WATSON.
Tribute to a Good Woman and De-
parted Friend.

parted Friend.
On July q, 1908, death entered
our community and the sweet spirit
of Mrs. R. L. Watson took its heav-
onward fight, leaving behind a world
of sorrow and tears.
We feel we have indeed lost a
true wife and affectionate mother
and a sincere friend. Still we know
that in our loss it is her eternal gain.
She was choice flower; God needed
her in His Kingdom, and it is we'll,
for He doeth all things for the best.
Fannie, as she was known among
her friends, was of a jolly DISPOSE
ton a sympathetic nature, and ever
held out ready and willing hands to
those in need. She is not only a
great loss to her family and commu-
nifty, but also to her church. AL
though she has gone still some of
her work remains in sacred remem-
branCe of the past. We often won
der why such as she must be taken,
but that is a mystery we cannot
solve; so let us be content to wait,
for some day the mist will be rolled
away and we shall know
1t is hard indeed to look back in
remembrance, and harder still to
look in the future and know she has
gone forever, but thank God it is a
precious thought to look to heaven
and know she is there, and such a
sweet privilege to have a Savior to
go to in these dark hours. 80 let
us sorrow not, as those who have
no hope, for the separation cannot
be long"
We could dwell longer on the vir-
tues and accomplishments OF this
noble christian woman, but it is I'M
necessary. | only wish to extend to
her loved ones my deepest sympa-
thy, and beseech them to look to a
higher power for consolation.
Mrs. Watson fought the battle of
life twenty-eight years, and at it's
close she leaves a grief-bowed hus-
band and two small children, besides
a host Of sorrowing friends and rela-
tives.
The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. w L. Culberson in the new
Baptist church at Sasser, after which
the remains were carried to Chicka-
sawhatchee, her old home, and laid
to rest.
There we can leave her sweetly
sleeping,
Yet we cannot stay the tears,
For we know we will sadly miss her
In the coming future years.
A FRIEND.

BIKES TO MIDDLE OF ROAD ?
That's the Question the City Fathers
Will Have to Decide
Tonight,

Inc city council will meet in reg
uIar monthly session tonight. and the
matters of most interest which will
come up for consideration is whether
the bicycle riders will have to take
to the middle of the road.
The question of putting the wheel
men off the sidewalks has been agi-
tated in Dawson for a long time. but
no definite action was ever attempt
ed until two months ago, when AL
derman Lowrey introduced an ordi-
nance putting the riders in the
streets. A test vote at that time
showed that Aldermen Lowrev
Shields and Hollingsworth favored
the ordinance and Aldermen McNuItv
and Hamilton opposed it. Alderman
McLain was out of the CITY then
but will be present at tonight's meet
ing.
The News has been told bv a
friend of the ordinance he expects if
TO receive four votes, and perhaps
hive, when it comes up for action to-
night.
Those who ride bicycles are
strongly opposed to the proposed or
d1nance, and will make their opposf-
ton known to the council through a
petition that no change be made in
the existing bicycle laws.

WOES OF BRYAN'S DOUBLE
Had Time of His Life Trying to Es-
cape Bryan Enthusiasts on Re-
cent Visit to New York.

FROM the New York World
DR.. David Coombs Peyton of JEFF
fersonville, Ind, president of the In
diana State Medical Association. got
a hair cut in the Hoffman House yes
terday DR.. Peyton also said to the
barber: You need not shave my
upper lip today. I'm going to grow
a mustache."
Then DR.. Peyton got in a closed
cab, and Notwithstanding the heat
pulled down the curtains and told
the driver to break all records driv-
ing to the nearest railroad station.
Once Dr.. Peyton thought it was a
joke because he is a remarkable
double OF William Jennings Bryan
but after being routed out of New
Haven train coming from Boston to
New York, at midnight, pushed to
the back platform, cheered, and
asked to deliver a speech DR.. Peyton
thought it was time to change his
looks.
DR.. Peyton would not have worried
so much over the loss of sleep, but
yesterday he was caught in the Cafe
Martin, and a score of men insisted
on shaking hands with him. Dur
ing the excitement DR.. Peyton lost a
watch fob, and that was too much
thus the hair cut and a new mus
tache.
While the Indiana doctor was try
ing to escape from the Hoffman
House he was found by several en-
thusiastic democrats on their way to
attend the state democratic commit
tee meeting in the Victoria Hotel,
and before he could prove he was
not William Jennings Bryan he had
his straw hat broken.
Il am a Bryan democrat" ex-
planned DR.. Peyton. Il like Mr.. Bry-
an, and have entertained him, but
can't carry around any more of his
troubles on my shoulders. He seems
to have too many friends in New
York, so I'm going back home where
folks know who 1 am.
cit soshappens that Mr.. Bryan and
| are the exact age, the same height
and weigh the same. | must look
like him, for the folks on the New
Haven train, I think, put Mr.. Bryan
down as a terrible liar when I in
sisted I was not the real article.
q would like it much better if
people could mistake me for having
the brains of Mr.. Bryan, rather than
being like him in looks. Anyhow,
I'm going home minus a fob, the
loss of a breakfast, straw hat and
some sleep"

TO FIGHT BLACK ROOT.
a Special Cotton Seed Is Furnished
to the Farmers.

a Special Cotton Seed Is Furnished
to the Farmers.
1t will interest the farmers of Ter
rell county, where the black root has
done more or less damage the past
several years, to know that the state
department of entomology is now
furnishing to planters in those sec
lions where cotton has been affected
by this disease a limited amount of
cotton seed which, it is believed, will
resist this pest
This seed has been secured by
selection from plants which resisted
the disease in fields where it has
been found prevalent 1t is believed
that by stopping the planting of cot
ton for few years in affected fields
and by the use of a specially strong
seed which shows resistance to the
disease IT will be ultimately stamped
out.

News has just been received that
a mob is forming at Greer and will
give assistance to the mob here. Ii
will be remembered that a negro nam

The mob from Greenville is compos-
ed largely Of railroad men and have
come armed with Winchesters and
dynamite. Upon their arrival they
found the Saxon Mill mob poorly
equipped, very few having guns or
weapons. An effort was made to
night to purchase ammunition, but
the hardware stores had closed. It IS
believed that the stores were closed
as matter Of precaution.

Agitators Arrested.

Spartanburg, October 10.-At mid
night two arrests we're made, making
four men that have been taken into
custody. One Of the men arrested was
from Greenville, the other from the
upper section Of the county. Both men
were in the court house yard address,
ing the mob and urging the crowd to
follow them, saying they would lead
the crowd into the Jail. Chief of
Police Hall appeared on the scene and
took charge Of both men. Parks, the
man who was arrested earlier in the
evening on the charge Of shooting in
to the jail, was refused bail. His
friends tried to secure bond for him.
but the magistrates refused to grant
bail. The warrant charges Parks
with shooting at Sheriff Nichols. At
l o'clock tonight the streets are quiet
and the mob has dispersed. Every
thing around the jail "is as quiet as
a unday in May though the military
companies are still on duty. The alb
senee Of liquor is responsible in large
measure for lack of violence on the
part of the mob. It was most sober
mob. there being no liquor in evi-
denee. Had Spartanburg been whis-
key town there is no telling the num-
Der of lives that might have been lost.
