few years he has had no active pas:
torate on account of his health, but
so long as he was able he was faith.
full in his attendance ard service OF
his church. He probably married
more couples and conducted more
funerals than any other preacher in
this county. He served the Saluda
Baptist Association for a long time
as clerk, later being promoted to
moderator of the body, in which ca
pacity he continued to serve his de-
nomination until a few years ago. He
was a pious man and to know him
; was to love him.
Mr.. MCGEE was noted for his gen.
erosity and humility. He talked but
little about what he had done, leav-
ing his record as made on high. But
it is>known that he cared for several
o''"han children, taking them to his
owl home and acting as father to
them.
Mr.. McGee died from some cancer
GUS affection from which he had suf-
fered for several years. During his
affiiction he made no complaint, but
bore patiently his suffering, and was
reconciled to his condition. He car
ried the spiritual needs Of his town
and his country during the recent
war upon his hearth and wished that
every one would be constrained to
turn to their heavenly Father from
whom help could be secured.
He is survived by his wife and the
following children: DR.. w. G. MCGEE,
Houston, Texas; M. A. MCGEE, An
derson; II. "A. McGee, Oxford, N. c.,
j. j. McGee, in France; Misses Mag
gle and Carrie McGee, Honea Path;
and Mrs. ]. G. Mattison, Greenwood.
The funeral services were held at
the home on Friday morning and
were conducted by his pastor, Rev.
Ben Allen, assisted by Rev. r. w.
Munnerlyn, and Rev. W. J. Foster,
after which interment took place in
Church cemetery. A large number
of admiring friends from other places
were present to pay their last res
poets to their beloved friend.

and making the world better. We
wish that we possessed the power tc
pay worthy tribute to our departed
friend, but find words inadequate to
express our feelings. He was known
personally to practically every read,
er of The Chronicle and all of them
can testify to his high Christian char.
acter, his devotion to the cause which
he championed and to his worth as a
citizen. The following from the Co.
lumbia State was written by his pas
tor, the Rev. Ben Allen, and covers
fully the life of this good man:
"The Rev. Mike McGee is dead.
The end came to him peacefully yes
terday afternoon. By virtue of his
age, relationships and ministry, many
are sad over his death. Had he lived
to February II, next, he would have
been 81 years old. Mr.. McGee h ID
lived an active life until few years
ago, when his health declined, and
probably knew more people personal
ly than any other man in Anderson
county. His memory was great and
he could always place names and
faces, thus enhancing his deserved
popularity.
At the outbreak Of the War Be-
tween the Sections Mr.. McGee enlist
ed, being a member of the famous
Orr's Regiment, and served through
out the war. He was wounded sew
erely during a strenuous campaign
and out Of service for a time, but
with this exception he was actively
engaged during the entire war. He
made splendid soldier, obedient to
orders and brave as a lion. At the
close of the war he returned to his
native community in Anderson Coun-
ty.
Four years later, in 1869, Mr.. Nc
zee was ordained to the ministry of
the Baptist Church. For As years he
was active in the services of his
church. During his long ministry he
served sixteen different churches in
Anderson and Abbeville Counties. He
was an earnest preacher and popular
with his congregations. For the past

A Tribute To The Horse.

Evangeline Booth, the gifted commander
of the Salvation Army, in the Rider and
Driver" pays a beautiful tribute to the
horse. The horseless age. which was pre-
dicted when the motor came. she says. has
not arrived, and never will. She continues !:
From the very beginning of all things.
through the march of the centuries in every
sphere of life, the horse has occupied a
significant place. In sport. in art, in liter
allure, in war, in peace. in commerce, in
romance, in drugery. in love. in religion. in
life and in death. this reliable, courageous,
ever-ready for command servant of man
has proved himself most potent factor.
His fleet hoofs have flashed light from the
pebbled path of every poet; his beautifully
arched neck and tossing name have taxed
the skill of the ablest sculptor's chisel (;
his attractive figure has made realistic the
story of every class of literature historic.
fiction, fact and Biblical; the delight of
childhood, the willing slave of man, the
sure trust of old age. this faithful ally
through all time has plowed the fields. and
hauled the loads, and penetrated the will
derness, and waded the rivers. and with
blood-stained TANKS has carried the war
rior in battle. and tossing snowy name has
borne the victor home through triumphant
arch. and a thousand times ten thousand
when worn by toll and lack of food to
mere skeleton. has pressed on with his
task with a patince. perseverance, and a
sweetness of temper that one could almost
call divine"

Collector Miles Gives Notice.

Hon. Joshua W. Miles, Collector of In
ternal Revenue. has issued a statement
calling attention to the fact that under
the present Income Tax Law all partner
ships are required to make return Of
income regardless Of the amount Of gross
or net income.
This return must be made on a blank
form furnished by the collectors office and
known as Form 1865.
This is a new feature Of the Income Tax
Law and Collector Miles issues this state
ment at this time in order that all persons
liable to file partnership return may be
apprised of the necessity for doing so.
He said
Partnerships as such are not subject to
taxation under the statute, but individuals
carrying on business in partnerships are
taxable upon their distributive shares OF
the net income Of such partnerships,
whether distributed or not, and are re-
ouired to include such distributive shares
in their returns.
The larger business concerns are prob
ably aware Of the necessity Of filing the
partnership return. but it is the great num-
Der of small concerns which fear will fail
to make this statement because the neces-
sity therefor is unknown to such concerns
These returns must be filed in the Office
of the Collector Of Internal Revenue at
Baltimore, Maryland, not later than June
18th. Every partnership. without regard
to the amount Of its gross or net income
should apply to the Collectors Office
promptly for blank form upon which to
file its returns"

A Great Public Entertainment For
Our Boys Returned From War,
July 4.

Montgomery county is arranging to give
royal welcome to the men of the county
who are returning from military and naval
service. 1t will be held at the Rockville
Fair Grounds, and the date will probably
be July 4. by which time, it is thought,
practically all of the fifteen hundred county
boys who saw service of one kind or an
other will have returned to their homes,
including the members of Company X. of
the 10th Division.
The first move was made at a well-at-
tended meeting of prominent citizens in
the Court House last Friday morning. which
was presided over by former Senator Blair
Lee, with William F. Prettyman acting as
secretary. The gathering was called to
order by Judge Edward C. Peter. Others
present were Preston B. Ray, Charles W.
Prettyman, DR.. Eugene Jones, Thos. Daw-
son, Edwin W. Broome, Perrie E. Waters,
Albert M. Bouic Robert B. Peter, John A.
Garrett, Bowie F. Waters. Thomas L. Daw-
son, Frank Higgins. Ohio H. w. Talbot
and Berry Z. Clark.
The chairman was empowered to ap-
point committees on finance, program, en-
tertainment, and such others. in his judy
ment, as may be necessary. The commit
tee on finance was authorizedto raise S.
500 to defray the expenses Of the enter
tainment, liberal part of which fund to
be devoted to similar celebration in honor
of the colored soldiers of the county upon
date to be fixed after consultation with
those among the colored people who were
prominent in war activities.
The movement is expected to arouse
widespread enthusiasm and bring together
the largest gathering ever assembled in
Rockville. 1t is planned to make it an all
day affair. to provide several bands. a
large dancing pavilion and big feast.
There will also be addresses by prominent
persons and other features.
