Avoid pastry and hot cakes. JOnly

L. J. Williams, chairman of the

"The profits from the businesp

per cent, as compared with those
of the same month of the preced- ?
ing year. Wr. Williams thinkp 1
that the low price of cotton aud j
the general depression of busings?
has had about as much to do with
this falling off as the O. P. store?
and the tigers. He called atten
tion to the fact that the report for
the same month of year before last,
when cotton was so low, showed ?
figure far below that of last year
when prices of cotton were higher

JUDGE COTHRAN DEAD. .
Judge Cothran is dead. A tele
gram to Columbia on Sunday last
announced that he had died on the
train en route home, between Jer
sey city and Philadelphia.
He has been so ill for some
weeks that hopes for his recovery
wero abandoned, and it was his
desire to get home before the end
came, but providence decreed
otherwise. He suffered from a
kidney affection.. His death will
be received throughout, the state
with genuine regret. There are
few as noble men as Judge Cothran
was.
Judge Cothran was born in Ab
beville, August 8, 1830. His early
education was received in the
common schools and completed at
the Georgia university in 1852.
He was admitted to the bar in
1854, and began practice at once,
continuing until the outbreak of
the war. He enlisted in Orr's rifles
as a private and served throughout
until the surrender, having risen
to the rank of captain. He was .
wouuded three times but noue of '
them were serious.
Returning to Abbeville he
resumed the practice of law which
he followed until 1876, when he
was elected solicitor of the eighth ?
3ircuit. He was reelected in 1880,
but in May 1881 he was appointed
by Governor Hagood to fill an
unexpired term as judge caused
by the death of Judge Thompson.
He was elected for the full term
that year and again in 1685. While
?till on the beuch he was elected
to congress in 1886 and was re- {
sleeted in 1888. In December, 1889,
be accepted the office of division
counsel of the Richmond and j
Danville railroad and has continu- j
ad to hold that position, after the
road became the Southern.
In 1855 he was married to M?SB
Emma C., daughter of the Hon.
T. C. Perrin. The issue of the
marriage was four sons and one
daughter. He was a member of the
Presbyterian church. He was a
stockholder in various enterprises
in Abbeville, and as a business
enan was quite successful.
