DEATH OF MISS F'IscHEssER.
Passed Away at Charlotte After An
Illness OF Six Weeks.

News OF the death Of Miss Lille
@. Fischesser. daughter of A. Fis-
chesser, was received In Walhalle
last Thursday, bringing deep sorrow
to many friends here, who had
known her from early childhood.
1t was not generally known to her
friends that she was seriC usly Ill,
though she had been reported unwell
some weeks ago. She was first taken
sick while In Atlanta, from whence
she came to Walhalla, but growing
worse went to Charlotte, where she
was under treatment preparatory to
undergoing an operation for d seri-
GUS affection of the throat This
operation was to have been per-
formed in abou two, weeks, but
death came on I h ursGay, June 25th,
to relieve her OF her intense suffer-
ing. a
Miss Lille was the fourth daugh-
ter of A. Fischesser, of Walhalla.
Her mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Fis-
chesser, died here on January. 10,
1904. She was most excellent
young woman, possessing many mo-
BILE traits OF character, a devout
ember OF ST. Joun's Lutheran
church, and a consectnted Christian.
Quiet and unassuming, still her life
gave evidence to all that she possess
ed much of grace and beauty of char
tacter. She will be greatly missed
from church circles, where she was
ever prominent, ready and jealous,
and over the home, where she was
best known and appreciated, dark
shadow has been cast.
To the bereaved ones we join with
many friends in extending sympathy
In their hour of SORROW
On Saturday evening last at 6
O'Clock funeral services We're con-
Quoted at st. Johns Lutheran church
by her pastor, Rev. T. B. Epting,
after which the remains were ten
derly borne to the church cemetery
and laid to rest, in the presence Of a
large concourse of sorrowing friends,
who had gathered to pay the last
sad tribute to her memory.
She leaves her father and Ave sis
ters, Mrs. G. Valaer and Mrs. A. R..
Willmann, of Charlotte, Misses Min
ME, Annie and Katie Fischesser, of
Walhalla and two brothers, Am
brose F.. Fischesser, of Atlanta, and
JOS. G. Fischesser, of Montgomery,
Ala, all OF whom arrived in Wal
halla during last Thursday and FRI
day.
J.. G. Fischesser returned to his
home at Montgomery last Monday,
and Mesdames Valaer and Irrlman
will leave tomorrow for Charlotte
A. F. Fischesser will remain IN Val
halla for the summer.

LYNcHINa SEEMED IMMINENT.
Two Negroes Beat White Man ae
South Union--Sheriff Called.

On Mcndey last Sheriff Kay
learned that a fynching was threat
sned in the South Union secticn of
Oconee and as soon es possible an
automobile was spinning over the
road, carrying the sheriff and O
deputy to the scene. The informa-
tion came secondhand, and was
rather vague, but Sheriff Kay took
the safe .courSe and went immedi-
ately to the scene.
There was good deal of excite
ment in the Eeighborhcod, but every
thing was quiet and orderly when
the officers arrived.
On Thursday OF last week, 1t is
stated. Joe Price, white, came over
from Georgia, and stopped at me-
gro cabin on the Burriss farm to
inquire the way to the home of his
sister, who is sick, and whom ho was
going to visit. An aged negro wo-
man named Perry occupied the
house. She has two sons, Sloan and
GoOrge Perry. who were not at the
house then, but returned shortly,
and she reported that the white man
had made inculting remarks TO her.
They followed after the white man
and overlook him. Claude Burriss,
it Is said, saw them and interfered
in the controversy, holding the ne
groes until Price had gone O consid-
cradle distance, when Mr.. Burriss
left, thinking the trouble was over.
Later, however, the negroes over
took Price on his way, knocked him
down with rock, and then beat him
into insensibility. Price finally got
up and in semi-conscious condition
wandered aimlessly about, finally
reaching the home of Jas. Brown,
who took charge of him and secured
DR.. Heller's services to attend to his
wounds, which were dressed, and he
is now said to be recovering rapidly.
Sloan and George Perry returned
to the neighborhood Sunday night,
1t is said, and a number OF Prices
friends from Georgia were looking
for them. Then 1t was that there
was talk OF lynching, but it never
materialized. Just what turned up
to Illustrate the plans Is not known,
but the negroes got away and moth
ing remained but the excitement
naturally following such cases.
When the sheriff got there all was
quiet, though the feeling against the
negroes was still bitter. No further
trouble is anticipated, as 1t Is
scarcely probable the negroes will
show up In the near future.

Over Thirty-Fiye Years

In 1872 there was great, deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. 1t proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thirty-five years main
tained that record, From small
beginning It's sale and use has ex-
tended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign coun-
tries. Nine druggists out of ten will
recommend 1t when their opinion Is
asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them greater
profit. 1t can always be depended
upon, even in the most severe and
dangerous cases. For sale by DR..

head--Probably Fatally Hurt.
VIII Hudgens, white, well-known
In 'Walhalla, having lived in and
near town for years, was brought
back here Monday morning and
lodged in the county jail, charged
with having shot, and probably ia
tally wounded John Moorhead last
Sunday night about two miles north
of Fair Play. Two men, it is claim
ed, went to Moorhead's house in
company with Hudgens and called
Moorhead out, when a shot was fired
and Moorhead fell, seriously wound
ed. 1t Is charged that Hudgens fired
the shot, but this he denies. Fur
ther than that, however. he refused
to speak. The pistol ball struck
Moorhead in the breast on the right
side, piercing the lungs, and ranging
back lodged under ne left shoulder
blade. 3
The exact nature of the causes
that led up to the trouble are not
known, but 1t is stated that the trag-
| edy is the elimination Of trouble, at
the bottom of which is woman.
Moorhead Is about 70 years of age,
and 1t is said that his wound will
more than probably prove fatal.
