Tribute of Respect.

God, in His great love, saw fit to call
our dear friend, Mrs. Gus Coats, to her
reward on the third of February, 1908.
Her death was shock to her friends
and relatives, for she was sick only a
few days before she died. The Reaper
came when least expected.
She was married to Mr.. Gus Coats
on December 26, 1905, at Ninety-S.l.
where she had lived before her mar
riage. She was a consistent member
of the Salem Methodist church, at
which place she was buried. Although
she had been married but little more
than year she had proved to be a
kind, amiable and helpful wife. She
always took great interest in the work
around her home and always tried to
make the home a place Of comfort,
pleasure and cheerfulness. God took
her away from us while she was yet
young being only 23-but she had
won numbers of friends, She always
delighted in doing something for some
one else. None knew her but to love
her. We were grieved to have to give
zap our Kate, but God doeth all things
well.
We extend to the bereaved husband
and relatives our deepest sympathy,
while we realize that our loss is her
eternal gain,
A face is absent from our midst,
A voice we loved is stilled;
place is vacant in our home
Which ne'r can be filled.

a successor to the late United States

among them being General Willie Jones
of Columbia, Hon. LeGrand Walker of
Georgetown, Hon. F. B. Gary of Able
vile, Major j. C. Hemphill of Charles

Abbeville and former speaker Of the
House, will be chosen as Mr.. Latimer's
successor.
During the session of the General
Assembly just closed over 1,3O0 bills
were introduced and large amount of
work was accomplished. Of course,
as is always the case, hundreds of
these measures died on the calendar.
Numerous others, good and bad, were
defeated, and several hundred of more
or less Importance were enacted into
laws and will be placed on the statute
books
Among the measures passed affect
ing Laurens were Mr.. McGowan's bill
providing for the issue of bonds by the
various school districts for school pur-
poses and eXempting same from taxa
ton. BY the same author local bill
was introduced and passed authorizing
the trustees of the Laurens city schools
to issue additional bonds, and to sell
the old school property and purchase
other.
The salaries of the county auditor
and treasurer were raised from 81, 600
per annum to 81 300 and the terms of
county supervisor and superintendent
of education made four years instead of
two. These were general bills.
Another local measure enacted was
in relation to the salaries and duties of
the magistrates and constables. I'm
der the provisions of this bill Mount
vile is to be provided with magis-
trate at salary of $50 a year, his
constable the same, while the salaries
of the other officers in the county, with
the exception of those at Laurens,
Clinton and Waterloo, are increased
from $40 per annum to SIS.
