Death of Junius Gregg.

Junius Gregg, colored, died at his
home in Concord township Sunday
morning, November 18th, aged 81
years, after an illness of several days.
The deceased was one of the best
known and most highly respected ne
groes of Sumter county and in many
respects was remarkable man. He
was pure blood negro and was
born a slave, the property of the late
Capt. James McFaddin. At the close
of the war he began farming on rent
ed land in the neighborhood in which
he was raised, and in few years
was able to buy a farm He raised a
large family and five sons and one
daughter were given college educa-
tions' three of the sons attending Bid
die University and two Lincoln Col
iege. Four of the sons entered the
ministry and were ordained preachers
of the Presbyterian church.
Personally Junus Gregg was a
quiet and unassuming man who re-
spected himself and enjoyed the con-
iidence and respect Of his neighbors
and all who knew him Among the
business men of this city his credit
was the best, for in all his business
affairs he was punctual and trust
worthy.
He was one Of the founders of Con-
gruity Presbyterian church. and was
for more than forty years one of it's
ruling elders. He lived to a ripe old
age, enjoyed good health until the
last, being able to attend to his usual
work until "A few days before his
death. and this year made the best
crop he ever made.
He is survived by his wife and the
following children

their activities and their relation to
politics and public life 1t was their
business to keep in the background
as much as possible and pull the
strings, quietly but effectively, writes
Ellis O. Jones in Lippincott's.
Almost any one with but a mo-
ments reflection can easily name a
half-dozen bosses who, a few years
ago. fiourished and whose names were
political bywords. The bosses OF va
rious cities and States were better
known than their duly elected repre-
sentatives. But one by one these
have gradually disappeared. Some
Of them have died, some have been
deposed as the result of a direct fight
upon them and some have sunk out
OF sight or lost their power through
Changed conditiors and altered senti-
ment.
There are two explanations for this
the first is that the publicity which
has been given to bosses and the boss
system has SO changed the political
machinery and aroused the people to
an active interest in public affairs as
to make the office of boss impossible
and Improbable. Another explana-
ton might be that the non-existence
Of bosses is more apparent than real.
that while the old bosses have been
put out of business simply because
they had become too we'll known. new
bosses have taken their place and are
quietly at work, but without the
knowledge Of the public
This later explanation may indeed,
be valid in some localities, but as a
general rule, the first explanation is
the correct one. Any one can see that
the politics of neither of the old par
ties, in these confused and strenuous
days, is run with that oily smoothness
which one expects when the political
machinery is under the domination OF
single shrewd and positive will.
When bosses are in control. states are
made up long in advance, and one can
be morally certain that the states
made up by the bosses are the ones
that go through, even though they are
slightly modified here and there by
unforeseen eXigencies.
Perhaps it is the bosses that are
dead, not the idea Of bossism Per-
haps a sufficient time has not elaps-
ed to grow up new race to replace
the old ones. Perhaps out of the
present chaos will arise others who
will gather up the reins and drive
off with master hand. That remains
to be seen. The present fact, however,
is that an unusually large number Of
powerful figures have disappeared
from the local and national political
arenas within a very short time, and
II may require another wave Of muck
raking to discover the real situation.
