Mr.. Ebert Mauldin
DroppedDead Thurs.

The people of this town and commun-
ity were shocked and saddened late
Thursday afternoon when it became
known that Mr.. Ebert Mauldin had
dropped dead at his farm near Pickens.
Doctors pronounced his death due to
heart failure. Mr.. Mauldin was engaged
in working on public road thru his
farm and was driving team which was
hitched to scoop when he tottered and
fell without any warning whatever. He
had two negroes assisting him and one
of them caught his body before it fell to
the ground, but death was instantaneous
and Mr.. Mauldin never spoke after he
was stricken. There was no warning
whatever that death was near and Mrs.
Mauldin states that her husband had
been unusually bright and cheerful dur
ing the day.
Ebert Mauldin was the eldest son of
E. e. Mauldin of near Easley. He was
46 years old and, besides his father, he
is survived by his widow, who was Miss
Ora Boggs of Liberty, two brothers and
ten sisters. He was member of the
Methodist church and funeral services
were conducted at the Pickens Metho-
dist church Saturday by the pastor, Rev.
b. T. Hodges, and Rev. ]. C. Bailey,
pastor of the Presbyterian church here,
after which the body was laid to rest in
the Pickens cemetery
Before he married Mr.. Mauldin went
to Texas and lived there several years.
About fourteen years ago he returned to
this county and a year or so later mar
ried and has since made his home in
Pickens and engaged in farming. He
was very quiet man, but congenial
when he knew you we'll and his death is
mourned by many friends.
To the berenved The Sentinel joins
with numerous other friends in extend
ing heartfelt and genuine sympathy.

|. M. Mauldin Goes
With Columbia Bank

Col. Ivy M. Mauldin, of Pickens, state
bank examiner, was elected active vice
president of the Palmetto National bank
! of Columbia at a meeting of the direct
ors of that institution January 8. Mr..
Mauldin has handed his resignation to
Governor Manning to take effect as soon
as he can finish certain details of work
in the office he now holds, which will be
| some time in February or probably
March l.. Governor Manning has not
announced whom he will appoint as Mr..
Mauldin's successor, but it is very like
ly that First Assistant James Craig Of
Anderson will be promoted to state bank
examiner and that second assistant Sgd
ney Bruce will be made first assistant.
Mr.. Mauldn will continue to make his
home in Pickcns for some time after he
takes up his new duties, spending the
first part Of each week in Columbia and
the week at home. His many
| friends here and in this section wish
that he could make his permanent home
here, but his new duties will make it
necessary that he move to Columbia
MIR. Mauldin's advancement in the
| banking world has been rapid and due to
merit and ability. He is natural f.
nancier and his training has increased
his rare talents to remarkable degree
He was practicing law in Pickens twelve
years ago when he was elected cashier
of the Pickens Bank, which position he
held until appointed state bank examin-
er, the duties of which Office he assumed
in March, 1914. His term of office does
not expire until March, 1918, and all in
dications pointed to his reappointmcnt to
that office if he had wished it, as those
competent to judge say he has made the
best bank examiner this state has ever
had. He also inaugurated many changes
for the betterment in his office. Since
it was announced that Mr.. Mauldin had
resigned as state bank examiner he has
been daily receiving letters from prom
inent bankers and other business men in
all parts of the state regretting that he
is to give up the office.
Mr. Mauldin says that he regrets tc
give up the work as state bank examin

offered him is one that he feels he shoult
not turn down.

all others in this entire section. Fol
many years Gen. Willie Jones was pres.
ident of this bank, but at the recent
meeting of the directors he was promot-
ed to chairman of the board and j. Pope
Matthews made president During the
Spanish-American war Mr. Mauldn was
a captain in Col. Jones (sincc Gen.
jones' regiment. Another coincidence
is that Mr. Mauldin was elected to his
new position just exactly twelve years
to day after he was elected cashier of
the Pickens Bank.
Mr. Mauldin will be greatly missed
when he leaves Pickens He is not only
largely identified with the business af-
fairs here, but is one Of the mainstays
of the Methodist church, besides other
public and social interests.

MIR. Miller Writes
About Legislation

10 The Pickens Sentinel and it's MANY
readers: AS we have entered upon the
year 1917 and hoping that we may all
have prosperous year, both religious
and financial, will attempt to discuss a
few questions that concern us ALL
am watching our representatives as
they pass upon the various measures
that come before them and will from
time to time give The Sentinel readers
their conduct as to their voting if the
editor will permit me. notice that
among the first measures voted on there
was a split vote among our representa-
tives, one voting for central power and
the other voting to abolish same. We
judge our sevants by their votes in the
legislature. think it is generally con-
ceded that the last legislature or two
have been the most extravagant we
have had since Moses and Chamberlain.
This is saying good deal, but if high
taxes count anything it is fact.
want to mention few things that
should be attempted by this legislature
One is the grading of cotton. Give us
licensed graders system and the sale of
all cotton on standard grades. 1t is said
that the farmers cotton is undergraded
about an average of three dollars bale.
This haven't seen publicly denied. If
we in South Carolina make million
bales of cotton that means a loss Of
! So, 600, 600 to the farmers Of this state.
Now, Mr. Farmer, would we not call
legislation that saved us So, 900, 900 con-
structive legislation? | know this kind
of Legislation would make anybody un-
popular with the cotton speculation in
terests, but we want and must have men
that will make for the greatest good to
the greatest number.
We need more men like the late
Fred Williams, who did the com
mon people of this state and
county more good than any other
member of the house that ever went
there from Pickens county. He (Wil-
liams) saved the patrons Of the schools
of this state hundreds of thousands of
dollars on books for our children, max
: ing the books to the children at cost
: He saved a similar sum to the farmers
OF this state by free market law that
gave the farmer the right to sell his pro
duct in any of the markets of the state.
We never heard Of the farmers helping
to elect the men who weigh our cotton
until Williams went to the legislature.
Fred Williams was very unpopular be
cause he disdained special privileges.
Abraham was unpopular with this class
of people. So was Gideon. What about
Moses? Didn' he have to leave Egypt
because he made himself unpopular with
the rulers of the day by taking sides
with the laborers? will say without
successful contradiction that no man can
be popular and favor laws that prove
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber This same principle put the Lord
Jesus Christ on the cruel cross. Let us
look for men with the spirit of Christ.
| This is my idea Of men we should try to
get to serve us in our law making bodies
