The services were conducted by
Rev w A Fairy, pastor of Kingstree
Methodist church, who with simple
pathos recited the life-story of the
deceased; he dwelt touchingly upon
his last illness and expressed the
firm belief that he whose soul was
just launched into eternity went
with the assurance that his sins had
been pardoned through the grace Of
our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ.
After the service many viewed
the remains, now cold and insensate,

After long weeks of painful suf-
,fering borne with patient resigna-
ton, Capt William H Kennedy's
spirit passed peacefully into the
great beyond at 10 o'clock Monday
night, July 25, 1910. So tranquil
was the severing of the spirit from
its earthly tenement that the loved
ones at the death-bed, with all their
vigilance, scarcely knew when the
momentous change took place. Life S
fitful fever over, he sleeps till the
music of the spheres shall cease and

That Christ has once more risen to
Judge the quick and the dead.
Capt Kennedy is survived by his
life and three daughters, Mesdames

ives by marriage. He had neither

Hard Luck.

The humorous editor of the Upson
County (Ga) Parrot grinds out the
following: His horse was dead and
his mule went lame, and he lost six
cows in poker game; then hurri-
cane came on a summer day and
blew the house where he lived away,
and the earthquake came when that
was gone and swallowed the land
that the house was on; then the tax
collector came round and charged
him up with the hole in the ground. y

new made grave.
From Men of Mark" we get the
following biographical sketch of the
deceased:
Kennedy, Captain William Henry,
merchant AMI planter, of Kingstree,
Williamsburg county, South Carroll
ma, was born in Sumter county, on
the 26th of November, 1884. His
father, David Richard Kennedy, was
a merchant. His mother was Mrs
Margaret Ann (Holleman) Kennedy.
He is descended from sterling Scotch
ancestry.
His early life was passed in the
country; he had good common schoo!
advantages, and he studied at the
Camden academy; but his fathers
means were not sufficient to permit
him a more advanced course of study
at college.
At II he obtained a clerkship in
one of the large dry goods houses at
Charleston, and he continued in the
employ of that house until the out
break of the War between the
States. Enlisting promptly in the
Confederate army, he served in the
| Rutledge Mounted Rifles, and later
| in Capt z Davis company from
Charleston, South Carolina. After
the war be became a merchant and
incidentally a planter, settling at In
diantown, Williamsburg county.
Prospering in his business, he pur-
chased a valuable plantation which
he worked in such a way as to give
him wide influence among the plant
ers Of his section.
In the gloomy days of 1876 Mr.
Kennedy was elected captain of a
large company which was organized
near where he lived; and that COM
pany rendered valuable service in the
threatening months of political and
social disturbances in that year.
On the 10th of November, 1867,
Captain Kennedy married Miss Julia
Everett Scott, daughter of John E
and Mary McCrea (Gordon) Scott,
of Williamsburg. She was grad
uate of woman's college; and they
have had six children, all daughters,
who are also all graduates of wom-
ems colleges. Three of their daugh-
daughters were living in 1907.
Captain Kennedy is connected
with the Methodist Episcopal church,
South. In political convictions he
is Democrat, ,and he adds: Il was a
strong and uncompromising Straight
out in 1876; chairman of the Will
liamsburg county delegation to the
convention which nominated Wade
Hampton, and charter member of
the Democratic party of my county;

burg this year was considerably
more than that of the previous year
and the yield much better than was
expected. About two million pounds
were sold on this market last year,
while this year the number of pounds
may reach three million.
This is the second year of the
Kingstree market, and the growers
seem encouraged at the prospect of
the future of this money crop. To-
days offerings would have been con-
siderably larger but for the fact
the farmers are engaged in curing,
and trying to get the grass out of
cotton,
Sales will continue here until No
vember and are expected to increase
as the season progresses. 1t is in
Williamsburg county that the famous
Pudding Swamp" tobacco is pro-
duced, which is regarded as one Of
the finest varieties grown. Now that
a irregular market has been established
here it is predicted that tobacco will
soon become one of the chief money
crops of the county, the others being
cotton and trucking.
Kingstree is particularly blessed
in this respect; few towns are favor
ed by such rich back country, pro-
ducing three money crops, besides
other products known in this sec

MAJORS GuRCHIE6 AR6UnENT.

Attorney General Major, i n
the course of his speech before
the Supreme Court, got his argu-
ments against the mandamus
proceeding all in and then made
the clinching statement by say
ing, in substance: why if your
hOnors please, this is a Republi-
can measure, conceived by Re-
publicans and born by a Repub-
lican committee. 1t cannot be a
good thing and ought not be
tolerated. No good can come of
it. Do men gather grapes from
thorns or figs from thistles?"
This presentation of an over
towering argument" was not
accompanied with citations from
court reports or law books, 1t
was not necessary 10 back it up
with court decisions. The long
line of Old Guard Democratic
precedents in Missouri for de-
claring that anything of Republi-
can origin ought not to be toler-
ated was doubtless so deeply im-
bedded in the legal minds to
which he appealed that a bare
statement of the proposition was
enough; but he doubtless coupled
the declaration with a scriptural
quotation about the thorns aud
thistles 10 make il more pungent
for h S religious Democratic
brethren throughout the state.

The promise Of the Republi-
can State platform concerning
elections was that, If elected, a
Republican State administration
would compel orderly and honest
elections, especially in the three
large cities. That pledge has
been sacredly and successfully
observed at every election held
since Governor Hadley was in
augurated. The primary cleo
ton in st. Louis and in Kansas
City was the most orderly, quiet
and clean election ever held in
either of those cities.

No man in the General Assem-.
bly, is big enough to stop a legis-
lative proposition before the leg
islature on his private judgment
concerning its constitutionality
but the Secretary Of State can
stop such a proposition, or a pro.
posed amendment to the con-
stitution, on such private judg-
ment and deny the people a
chance to vote on it. That's the
meaning of the new doctrine ar
nounced by the Supreme Court
in che decision rendered in the
Roach mandamus case.
