In Memory of James Franklin Blount


unfolding Of some beautiful flower
there came into existence a little life,
one that was to shed in many loving
hearts 8 lasting fragrance: that Of
James Franklin Blount.
The pride and idol of the family
circle, he passed his childhood days
in an atmosphere Of love at Ulmers,
s. c.. even at that time giving prom
ise Of q bright and useful future.
As time winged its rapid fight and
he grew to q sturdy lad he won for
himself by his frank and winning
ways q host Of friends.
In the school-room he was studious
and to each past time and pleasure
he gave bouyant vitality.
Just as he reached the 1enith OF q
glorious manhood with the success Of
childhood's promise fulfilled within
his grasp, when he stood on the. top
Of LIES mountain and looked back
to past well spent and forward to Q
future Of q long and prosperous
career; Illuminated With the day star
Of love, it was then that his bright
young life was ended.
On February II, 1910, a the two
monsters Of steam and steel rushed
towards each other hugging close In
their iron breast that dark mystery-
death. Without q note Of warning
the living freight was carried to their
doom. Unaware Of their danger they
laughed and chatted while with each
turn Of wheels grew nearer their fate,
when with q crash the monsters met.
It was soon found that many had
been killed and wounded, James seri-
ously %.
He was rushed to Macon. Ca. hos
pital where every care and attention
that loving hearts and willing hands
could devise was done for his COM
fort. He fingered in much suffering
forty-eight hours before death came.
While 1t il hard for us in our
earthly blindness to bow In submis-
sion to him who never makes q mis-
take, while our hearts are torn and
bleeding with the separation, let N
not forget that its for q short time
and not long hence will come a grand
reunion.
James was q member of the Ep-
worth League and learned telegraphy
when quite young.
He Is survived by his father, Mr..
Miles Blount, Of Bamberg; four
brothers: Messrs. A. 8. and Elmore
Blount, Of Suffolk. Va, and w. J.
and A. J. Blount, Of Ulmers, s. c.:
two sisters: Mrs. w. c. Augustine,
Of Fernandina, Fla, and Mrs. Willie
Bair, of Elloree, s. c. He was in

terry, where rest his mother and two
sisters.

stage as Belle Gilmore. The jury was
out just thirty minutes.
Lord AIycrstoHc, donning a black
cap, passed tn sentence of death upon
Crippen. This was the only sentence
possible under the verdict. There is
a chance that this sentence will be
committed to life Imprisonment, owing
to the circumstantial nature of the
case against the accused.
Crippen received the verdict with a
fair SHOW OF composure, as the speech
Of Muir and the instructions of the
court had evidently prepared him for
the worst.
Crippen will be hanged Nov. 16.

CessoTy after the fact in the murder
Of Mrs. Crippen will begin on next
