james T. Fowler was among the
visitors in Walhalla yesterday. Mr..
Fowler has been visiting in the Salem
section for some weeks, having re-
Gently returned to Oconee from
Texas, where he, with his family,
have resided for ten years. Mr.. Fow-
Ter is accompanied on this trip by
his wife, his mother, Mrs. n. A. Fow-
Ter, and his brother, Walter d. They
have been making their home at

not disposed of his Texas property

frinn1c N ~ I q
for a short while last week. Mr..
Holcomb was accompanied to Oconee
by his wife and daughter, who spent
their time with relatives at West
minister Mr.. HolcOmb is a native of
the Richland and Bounty Land sec
tion of Oconee, and left here many
years ago to make his home in Geor-
gia. 1t has been 20 years since he
was in Walhalla. His appearance
here in the Office of his old school
mate, Col. r. L. JayneS, came as a
most pleasant surprise and the two
spent quite a while together re-
calling the old days of school in the
Richland community. Mr.. Holcomb
made many new friends while here,
who will be glad to welcome him
back in the future.
Ben G.. Stokes, of Greer, Green
vile county, has purchased 40 acres
OF land in the Salem section Of Oco-
nee and will make his home in this
county, engaging in farming. The
tract which he purchased is a part
Of extensive holdings known as the
Sitton lands. Mr.. Stokes vail be cor
daily welcomed to this county. 1t
is stated that there are a number Of
Greenville and Anderson farmers
contemplating removal to Oconee in
the near future, and they will be
royalty welcomed. Oconees expert
ence so far has been that her sister
counties furnish some mighty good
citizens, and it is indeed gratifying
to have them come among us. They
are proving the wisdom Of their
course, too, by giving evidence Of a
marked degree Of prosperity in their
adopted homes.

Sheriff John w. Davis, Rural Po-
liceman J. II. Mason and Constable
Gus McPhail flushed" a quartette Of
crap shooters last Saturday night in
the Oakway section. The happy
gamesters were busily engaged in the
intricacies of "twirling the bones"
while the officers were but few
feet away watching the progress Of
the game and attentively listening to
the conversation. There were three
negroes and one white man, and all
were placed under arrest. The white
man was arrested on the spot and
"disarmed" of his liquor and gun.
The negroes all escaped to their
homes, but were later arrested. The
white man escaped in the tussel with
the officers. The white man is known
as "Wild" Tucker, of Georgia. The
three negroes were tried before Mag
istrate Eubanks and sent up for 80
days each. This moring they we're
having the finishing touches put on
their costumes" at the blacksmith
shop.
We regret to chronicle the death
Of Mrs. Polk Laney, which occurred
at her home in Walhalla last Sunday
morning about 2 o'clock. She was
taken suddenly i'll Saturday evening
and rapidly grew worse until the end.
She was about 35 years of age, and
is survived by her husband and seve-
raj children, one an infant of only
few months. Mrs. Laney's health
had not been very good for several
years, but for the past year was some
what improved. The immediate
cause of her death was acute indi-
gestion. On Monday afternoon her
remains were laid to rest in West
view cemetery beside a daughter and
a granddaughter who had died within
the past year, the grand-child hav-
ing died only few weeks ago. Mrs.
Laney was a kind and loving wife
and mother and will be greatly miss
ed in the home. To the bereaved
husband and children is extended the
