pat i'm command of his company in
their last fight at Bcntonvillc, y. G.
After the war he was for many
years one Of the active citizens of the
county i'm putting down lawlessness,
and he took a strenuous and leading
part in the trying campaign Of the
seventies. when the State was redeem
cd from negro rule. He was always to
be found where energy and bravery
were needed and could always be
found whenever there was a cali by
the State for the services Of her sons
He served the county as n sub
county commissioner and was elected
to the legislature in 1873 and 1880. In
this year he was appointed by Govern

He always had a warm considera-
ton in his affection for the COnfeder-
ate veteran and his last public ser
vice was as chairman of the Pension
Board for Sumter County, which he
retained until forced to give up on
account of i'll health. Always the
friend Of those less fortunate than

piOn the cause of the weak and the
oppressed and he was always the un-
compromising foe of the demagogue
and trickster On all public questions
he was always open and positive in
his stand and no one ever had cause
to doubt his sincerity in his position,
although at the same time he gave
respectful consideration to the opin-
ions Of others.
He was married in September, 1865,
to Miss Gertrude G. Spencer Of Bish-
Opville, who survives him. They had
nine children: Mcssrs. II. L. of SUM

now I'm OillCe. But with the elections
safely passed this bill seems suddenly
to have developed dangerous quail
ties. The farmer believes the Henry
bill is right and that it would afford
instant relief
II am going back to Washington to
urge i'm behalf of 100000 members
of the Farmers Union that congress
perform or frankly tell us to go hang
I'VE are tired of brave promises and
worse than poor performances. We
are tired of having the waters mud
died when we come with prayers for
relief.
THE farmer is not particularly in
terested in hearing n dispute between
where responsibility rests for afford
ing him relief. He is not being fool
cd this time. for he knows that the
situa ton Is absolutely up to congress,
and that, If congress does not give re-
lief. congress has simply thrown him
down once more.
I'VE farmers are going to have a
showdown in Washington pretty
soon. We have been mighty patient
all OF these years. We have accepted
promises. hoped. and curbed out impa-
tience. But the faker isn't going to

In the agricultural department
