WHITE, General Passenger Agent A. J. McKISSICK. Well Known Young- Man of the Brew* erton Section Dies After a Long Ill ness. Ware Shoals, June 27.?Mr. A. J. McKlsslck died at his home In Brew erton on June 20th after a long ill ness which was borne with- cheerful ness and Christian resignation. He was a man of high principle, of genial disposition, well liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. The deceased gentleman was a young man only in his twenty-ninth year when he met his untimely death. Mr. Mc Klsslck was the only son of W. I. McKlsslck of Union, S. C, and was raised and educated in that town. Af ter attending the public schools there he went to the Military Academy at Auburn, Ala., where he spent several years In study. He afterwards became an expert electrician having filled Im portant positions in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. On account of failing health, Mr. McKlsslck had to give up his chosen profession and re tire to his farm near this town. Ow ing to his education and Intelligence he became a very good farmer, until through weakness he was laid aside altogether, being unable to look after his affairs. Mr. McKlsslck was unit ed In marriage In 1908 to Miss Ernes tine Pitts only surviving daughter of Mr. J. Y. Pitts, who is left to mourn the loss of a devoted husband. The funeral o fthe deceased husband and friend took place at Friendship cemetery last Saturday morning and was attended by a large concourse of mourning relatives and friends. The handsome metallic casket was cover ed with flowers, gifts of those who loved him well. Services were con ducted at the church after which the remains were carried to their last resting place by six stalwart broth ers-in-law, the Messrs Pitts. At the grave the beautiful and impressive ritual of tho Presbyterian church was recited by Rev. J. M. Dallas while the body was laid to rest near the dust of his kinsmen and friends. The following gentlemen officiated as honorary pallbearers and walked beside the bier: W. Y. Watkins. P. L. Abrains. T. T. Wood. J. P. Sim mons, J. W. Simpson and H. O. Walk er. Mrs. Anna West, of Poplar looked after the many details of the funeral and very kindly helped In various ways Among those present was Mr. W. I. McKlsslck of Amerlcus, Ga? father of tho young man who had lost his only and well loved son. Mr. McKlsslck was a member of Memorial Presbyter' - n church, Ware Shoals and took an active Interest In Its welfare, as long as his health would permit. By W. D. S. Times do surely change. When I was a lad. most of the milling was done on horse back. The ten year old boy, up to the aged grand sire would mount old Chorkey and sot astride of a two bushel sack of corn, and off to the nearest mill he would ride for his meal. The good man of the house would ride his horse to church on the Sabbath day, with a child in his arms and another child be hind him on tho horse with his arm around his waist. His wife would be on another horse, with two children, one before and one behind. Some farmers had ox carts. Uncle .lackey would often come to our mill, driving the captain's cart with two black oxen hitched to It. Thornton would drive up with tho squire's two wheel cart and yoke of yellow steers. Ho envari ably came with two strong home made meal sacks, each with three and a half bushels of white flint corn, for family bread, would have no other kind of corn. They kept a standing turn nnd every Wednesday the cart would come In and unload and load up the meal, so as to lose no time! Now the old black mlllor would grumble and grunt under those big 3 1-2 bushel sacks. The next milling period, wag ons were mostly used, the horse back man decreased. After the war, when everybody got rich and proud, the rub ber tire buggy came in for a mill wagon. How funny it looked to see a man drive up with a flour barrel of oar corn sitting between his legs in his buggy. Last Saturday friend Bob was ex tremely busy with his mules, killing the grass in his crops. Late in the evening he found the meal barrel was empty. "Son, crank up the auto, place six bushels of corn In It and go and get us some meal." Miller Dick was waiting for him. He soon turned his corn into meal, and before you could Bay scat many times, the meal was at home, ready to be boiled into mush for supper. Everybody guess what will be used for the next milling ve hicle? Dysentery Is always serious and of ten a dangerous disease, but It can be cured.

South Carolina is a state of per petual Iritation, situated between Georgia and North Carolina, and somewhere between the Revolution ahd the War Between the Sections. It Is the lighting state in the Un ion and is the unsafest spot between the Atlantic and the Pacific in which to discuss the emancipation procla mation or to edit a newspaper with a trenchant pen. South Carolina Is about as big as the front yard of a Texas cattle king. It contains 30,000 square miles, is shaped like a 5-cent cut of pie, and has 1,500,000 people, Including Re publicans, Chinese and Indians not taxed. The population Is almost equally divided between whites and negroes, but one white Carolinian when he gnashes his teeth and draws in his breath with a low, hissing sound can make 100 colored residents go away In search of rest and a change of climate without waiting for the next train South Carolina was settled about 250 years ago, but has remained unsettled ever since. It has always been noted for Its nervous disposi tion and its, willingness to rise up and smite the universe on all occa sions. The British were having an easy time in the Revolution when they struck South Carolina, but Gen. Marlon soon made them look like a Republican who has criticised Gen. Lee in Charleston. The state helped win the Revolution, but threatened i i take its doll tilings and go home m Jackson's administration, and In 1861 it opened the War Met ween the Sections by seceding with a prodi gious explosion. Later it contributed Tlllman to the United States sen ate and has listened to the uproar ious results with pride ever since. ?OUth Carolina was severely shaken by an earthquake In 1886, but did not secede at that time. South Carolina raises cotton, ice and sweet potatoes, and supplies turpentine and rosin to the world :'t large. It begins at the Atlantic ocean in a modest way about six feet below high water, and for many miles inland is so moist that the farmers keep life belts handy on their wagons. It has many fine old towns, full of po lite and chivalrous citizens, but the population peters out in the western mountains, where the people eat clay Instead of ice cream and lobster, and empty the hookworms out of their Sunday shoes by pounding the soles with a stick. There are three religions In the state?Protestant, Catholic and State rights. Between the Savan nah and the ePe Dee rivers John C. Calhoun is still the greatest man in the world and history closes in 1865. Charleston, a beautiful petrified city on the seacoast Is the metropolis of South Carolina. The hope of the state is In its public school, but the cotton tqills, which are spreading all over it like a heavy rash, are driving hun dreds of teachers out of employment. During the summer months mothers of young children should watch for any unnatural looseness of the bow els. When given prompt attention at this time serious trouble may be avoid ed. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy can always be depended upon. ?For sale by nil deal ers. A Fine Assortment Of the World's most famous Gorham Silverware is to be found at my store.
