James T. Bacon.

Colonel James T. Bacon died at
his home in Edgefeld yesterday af-
ternoon. He was seventy-eight years
of age, and left this world without
an enemy behind him, or any one
who can speak of him and his work
except in terms of tender affection.
He was all sunshine and love, attri-
butes which sustained him in all
times of trial and deep Affections land
which made him the charming CEN
ter of every company in which he,
moved. Educated in the schools of
his native county in the liberal arts
and trained in music under the best
of European masters at Berlin, he.
was possessed Of all the polite ac-
complishments, which he turned to-
the entertainment of his friends rath-
er than to his own individual en-
largement. An omnivorous reader,
"a great traveller in this and other:
lands, a very rkable writer on
#all sorts of topics, and a fascinating
lecturer, he filed a unitl u Inc place iin

since the establishment ofthe Edge:
field Chronicle he had given his best
thought and his unremitting labor
to the production of that paper,
which holds high rank among the
weekly journals of this State.
Colonel Bacon was soldier of
the Confederate States, and served
in the field with distinction. He was
a democrat in politics and knew
why he was a democrat. Though
soft as silk and gentle as woman
he was manly man, without. fear
and without reproach. He endeared
himself to all the members of his
craft, and there will be sincere sor-
row Sin every newspaper office in
South Carolina at his taking off.
But he died as he had lived, in good
favor with all his neighbors and
with abundant faith in the promises
of his religion, to which he was de-
voted with his whole heart.-News

Crops through this section have
been greatly injured by the con-

a lot of fodder has been housed,
also barns are filled with nicely
cured pea hay.
Fall gardens are failure, very
poor stand of turnips and some
patches have yet to be sown.
