DEATH OF William WEIGH.
at Age of Almost 1O2 Respected Citi-
zen Passes Away,

William Welch, possibly the oldest
cltlZen OF Oconee, died at his home
at Mountain Rest, this county, last
Sunday, March goth, at the age Of
one hundred and one years and ten
months. He had been i'll for only a
short while, and the news OF his
death will bring genuine sorrow to
the hearts Of many friends all over
the county.
Mr.. Welch was a native of Queens
county, Ireland, and came to this
country a comparatively young man.
When work was begun on the old
lYke Ridge tunnel he began work
WA contractor, having under him
large force Of men Of his own coun-
try. When the work was stopped by
the outbreak Of the Civil War Mr..
Welch, as one Of tho home guard,
established himself in the upper sec
tion of the county and later Sottled
down to the peaceful pursuit Of ag-
riculturc, in which he continued
through and 10 the end Of his long
life.
Mr.. Welch leaves a wife and nine
children to mourn his death, all Of
whom were present at his bedside
except Mrs. John McAlister and Mrs.
G.. w. West and two sons who reside
in Alabama. They reached hcre in
time for the funeral yesterday.
. The deceased was a member Of the
Roman Catholic church and was a
staunch and consistent adhcrcnt to
that faith. He was an honest. hon
Orablc and worthy citizen. and we
have never heard Of his motives be-
ing impugned or his honor or intcg-
rity questioned during his long life
Though small OF stature, he was
physically and mentally remarka-
BILE mar. being quick Of intellect,
strong and sound in reasoning, with
an cver-ready and abundance Of wit
and humor characteristic Of the men
Of ireland lie was also one Of the
best preserved men OF OcOnee, pos
sessing constitution Of iron, and up
to within n few weeks Of the time
Of his death he thought nothing OF
mounting his horse and riding to
Walhalla. a distance of sixteen miles,
where he transacted his business and
mingled with friends in Il manner
that led many to guess his age at 75
to so.
Mr.. Welch leaves, besides his wife
and sons and daughters, 23 grand
children, the oldest being about IS
years Of age. To the immediate fam
lily there are hosts OF relatives and
friends near and far who will join
with us in extending the sincerest
sympathy. At his age his death was
not, Of course, matter Of surprise,
but his taking away IS a distinct loss
20 family and county, and the name
and memory Of William Welch will
linger and be cherished by as many
!, generations in the future as his long
and useful life was spared to bless
in the past and present

A DAY WITH SENATOR TILLMAN.
Hc Has Gone to Atlanta for Needed
Rest and Quiet.
CA. X. in News and Courier

Trenton, March Ex-senator TILL
man is getting along as we'll as can
be expected. This is as much as
can be said at this time. He has
gone to Atlanta to rest. Rest and
quiet are his physics, and either is
hard for him to take.
Exactly two years ago Senator
I1llman had a stroke of aDoplexy.
lie recovered in every way and went
abroad from May to October. He
mas been active until just a month
ago, when he suffered from what
might be called second stroke of
apopleXy. The expectation, month
ago, was that he was in cXtremis and
that he would die as a result.
To-day | saw and talked with SEN
ator Tillman for long time and he
IS keenly alive to public affairs, fret
lul that he cannot be in the fighting
and irritated that he is not able to
run the pigs as he did in former
days. He looks little tired, but
otherwise his bodily and facial ap
pearance is good. His complexion is
clear, just bit ruddy, his eye clear
ana his skin smooth. He talks lit
tle-that is, compared with his pre-
disposition to do most of the talking.
ne reads nothing. He can read, but
he does not wish to tax his mind. He
has everything read to him-yes,
everything. Mrs. Tillman has to do
the reading; he prefers it and she
reads to him every day.
Tillmnn in Atlanta.
Atlanta. Ga, March 22.-Senator
llllman Is at the Robertson Santa
rum in this city, where he came for
treatment in the hope Of regainine
his shattered strength. AT the soni-
tarium the doctors refused to allow
senator Tillman to be interviewed.
Or. Blackburn, the attending physi-
clan, stated that Senator Tillman
passed quiet night, sleeping well
something that is absolutely neces-
sary, and as the result every one Is
encouraged to-day. Dr.. Blackburn
announced that there was no imme-
diate danger. He, however. will not
allow any one to see the Senator fol

One and Well Rendered.

the lssaquena Literary Society, which
is composed of members Of the Wal
halla High School, was held at Pitch
ford'S Hall last Friday night, and 1t
proved a success in every sense Of the
word. The program was good, and
1t was well carried out. Those who
took part showed marked ability and
they deserve and are receiving the
congratulations Of friends on all
sides.
The program was begun by a piano

Ring Tonight" Miss Elsie Kauf-
man, "Thc Ride Of Jennie McNeil;"
Miss Bewly Hunsinger. "Aslecp at
the Switch," after which piano duet
was rendered by Misses Irene White
and Ruth Kay.
The debate on the subject. "Re-
solved. that the army has done moro
than the navy to extend and main
tain the power Of the United States" ,"
was admirably handled by Clyde
Brown and Harry Earle for the af-
nrmative, and Earle Beard and Elviii
| Handy on the negative. The decis-
ion Of the Judges was that the mega
tive side had won in the debate.
The regular program was conclud-
ed with the solo, "The Rose and the
| Lily" which was charmingly rem
dered by Miss Annie Biemann.
| Rev. A. e. Driggers and Messrs.

ther Davis was awarded the medal as

declared to belong to Miss Dora Dun
