M. d. Lee, Of Long Creek, was
among the visitors in Walhalla yes
terday. Mr.. Lee told us Of an inter
csting experience he had one day
last week when he, with several 9TH
crs, cut down "bec tree" from

Of fine honey. They also secured,
with but little effort on their part, an
ample sufliciency Of hrst-class stings.
DIR. j. i. Stokes was called from
Walhalla to Walterboro yesterday on
account of the serious illness Of an
elder sister, whose condition is re-
ported critical. The Doctors many
friends here hope that he amy find
his sisters condition not so serious
as indicated and that she may soon be
restored to health. DR.. Stokes will
be absent from Walhalla for several
days.
Wesley "A. White, who lives near
Walhalla, sends us the first cotton
bloom this year. 1t came to our Of
fice yesterday morning and was open
on last Saturday, the 30th. It was
red bloom and had fallen from it's
stem. 1t generally takes a bloom
about four days to drop. Mr.. White
states that the bloom came from a
fonr-acre field. in which he noted
many other blooms.
Last Thursday afternoon a most
distressing accident occurred in the
Wolf Stake community, by reason Of
which Jos. w. Grogan, a young man
Of "a years, lost his life. Mr.. Grogan
was riding a mule from the field to
the house. having been forced to quit
Work by the coming up Of storm.
Just as Mr.. GrOgan came into full
view OF his home bolt Of lightning
struck him, killing him instantly, as
1t did also the mule he was riding.
Ills mother was standing in the door
way watching the return Of her son
when the fatal stroke came from the
sky She was living with the younger
MIR. aud Mrs. Grogan. Mr.. Grogan Is
survived by his wife and two small
children. Mrs. Grogan was before
marriage Miss Katie White, a daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. NJ. White.
They had been married about five
years. In spite Of the fact that death
came instantly to both the young man
and the animal he rode, there was
absolutely no mark left on either to
indicate that they had been struck.
Mr.. Grogans neck was broken and
his jaw bones crushed. Mr.. Grogan
was splendid young man and bore
an enviable reputation in his COM
munity, being honest and honorable
in all his dealings, industrious and
energetic. There are many who will
learn of his untimely death with re-
gret. Mr.. Grogan was a consistent
member Of the Baptist church, and
funeral services were held Friday
afternoon. the interment taking place
at the Wolf Stake cemetery. The
Courier joins with other friends of
the family in extending to the beaver
cd ones sincere sympathy in their sor-
row.
