Louis SmithsOn

The death OF Louis Smithson on
February 3rd, was in many respects
the saddest that has occurred in
this community for many years.
On Sunday morning he was at
the home of his uncle W. H. Par.
Rer when he was accidentally shot
through the back by Virgil Parker
a IA year old boy. That night an
operation was performed but they
failed to locate the ball, so Monday
about 10 u. m. the grim monster
death, called for one of the best
young men of the community. 1t
seems to have been an untimely
death, as he was only about Is
years old and had entered actively
into Christian work. He was
converGed and joined the Methodist
church about two years ago, and
you could frequently hear people
say, Louis Is an exceptionally
good boy For this reason, God
has called him to land of rest,
where the cares and troubles OF
this world no longer disturb, while
we must toll on and meet the
difficulties of life, be bufPeted
about by sin, tossed to and fro on
the disturbed sea OF life and weep
for our mistakes, Louis is peace.
fully resting in the Divine Love of
a Blessed Christ.
Let the parents and community,
who so deeply grieve this loss, be
thank al that you have given God
such life. A FRIEND

Gentlemen Visit the Democrat,
Say "Braun Survey" Story

from the section In which the
"Braun Survey" incident ls alleged
to have occurred, visited this of.
fee on last Saturday, and de-
nounced as untrue the story of the
matter reported in last weeks pa.
per. The editor was as he always
is on week days in Mt Pleasant at
bic work, but the gentlemen im-
pressed those in the of1ce with the
idea that they we're pretty mad
over the affair, as they have a
right to be, if the story has no
foundation in fact and was manu-.
fsctured out Of the whole cloth, as
they claim.
The Democrat is anxious always
to print the news, but is far more
anxious to print nothing which is
not the bare and naked truth, and
We regret beyond expression any
statement, if we have made such,
that did any parties an injustice,
or without warrant of truth 10 sus.

We are sorry that our visitors
failed to give us a statement fol
publication, that their side of the
question might have been put be-
fore the public in the proper light
We'd have been glad to print it,
But they did not so much as give
their names, so we have no way
TO even communicate with them,
The story as printed in this paper
was given to us by gentlemen
whose integrity has never beer
called in question heretofore
and who were in a position tC
know the truth of the matter
These gentlemen have later tolC
us that our report was Correc'
We are loath to believe that these
men would have manufactured
and given out a deliberate false
hood to the injury of their neigh
bors, and we feel sure that therr
must have been something tina
happened to give a basis for thei
statement
In justice to themselves
Snd to the men who are oul
authorities for what we printed
the unknown gentlemen who CAM
to see us Saturday ought to Civ
us a signed statement of their sid
of the matter, so that we can COZ
rect the errors and treat everybod,
fairly. Tell us whether or not i
is true that Mr. Braun and M
Cannon did come there for tn
purpose of making a survey. ant
whether or not they made it, ant
if not, why not. Let us know tn
