his family.

Red. Oglesby, colored, was shot
and killed last Monday evening by
his half-brother, Ernest Wallace, at
the Mont Jones place, about six miles
below Westminster. From what we
can gather concerning the trouble,
the two had engaged in a family
getting a double-barreled shotgun
and firing the contents Of both bar
rels into the body Of his half-brother.
Both loads Of shot took effect in
Oglesby's stomach, from the effects
of which wounds he died in about an
hour. Wallace made his escape at
the time, but was arrested at Pendle-
ton Tuesday night and will be
brought to Walhalla to-day on the
motor train to be lodged in Jail.
Wallace Is about Is years Of age, the
Oglesby negro being about three or
four years older.
Miss Nora Cooley has bought
out the stock Of Mrs. W. M. Brown
& Co., and wishes all her friends to
call on her at the same old stand.
She expects to have the incest line
of spring goods she has ever had.
Come and see.-Adv.
There are many in Oconee who
will learn with regret o. the death Of
Romert S. Rutledge. an aged Confed-
| crate veteran, who died last Sunday
morning at o'clock at the home Of
his daughter, Mrs. Lem Keaton, near
Seneca. The remains were brought
to West Union Monday, where the
body remained at the home Of ]. r.
Duncan, step-son of the deceased,
until Tuesday morning, when they
were taken to the Neville cemetery,
where internlent took place after ap-
propriate services conducted by Rev.
w. II. Belvin, Of the Methodist
church The funeral services were
held at Zion church. 1nterment was
made in Neville cemetery at i o'clock.
Mr.. Rutledge was almost 76 years of
age, having been born in March,
1912. He was Confederate vete-
ran, having seen service in the Civil
War throughout the hostilities as a
member Of Company G, Orr's Regi-
ment OF Rifles. He lost leg in one
of the numerous battles in which he
participated. He was known as q
fearless man and his record as a SOL
der was beyond reproach. For a
number Of years, in spite of his han
dicap in having but one leg, he serv-
ed the Federal government in the
capacity of raiding deputy In the
internal revenue department, and
made an efficient officer For the
past fifteen years he had, with inter-
| ruption Of few years, been official
court-crier for Oconee. For several
years he made his home in Columbia,
whore he was connected with the
Adjutant Generals office as State Ar
morer. Mr.. Rutledge had many
friends over the county. He is sur
vived by three children-Fred and
Bub Rutledge, Of Aiken county,
and Mrs. Lem Keaton, who lives
near Seneca. Mrs. Keaton and Fred
Rutledge were here for the inter-
ment, as were two half-sisters from
Greenville. He Is also survived by
two brothers, Benjamin and ]. s.
Rutledge, the former living between
Walballa and Tamassee, the latter
with his son at Newry. One sister,
Mrs. S. Duncan, of Walhalla, also
survives him. We extend to the be-
reavcd ones sincere sympathy in their
sorrow.
