LIFE'S TOIL IS ENDED
HE RESTS AT LAST.
Judge Harper Black Passed Away
Monday Morning.
CLOSING OF A USEFUL CAREER.
Widely Known and Esteemed Among
All His Heath is Generally De
plored.-Briet Sketch of His Life-
Funeral Exercises at Home.
In the death of Judge J. Harper
Black, which occurred shortly before
9 o’clock on Monday morning at his
home near Magnolia Springs, Sumter
county loses one of her oldest, most
respected and esteemed citizens and
the State a former faithful publio ser
vant who had ever labored to advance
her interest upon whatever line assign
ed to his keeping.
Life’s work well done, he rests from
his labors in a better sphere.
Widely know throughout the state
and in the vicinity of his home, the
announcement of the death of Jndgo
Black will cause universal sorrow, as
well might be expected.
More than two weeks ago a severe
attack of erysipelas conflued him to his
room, and since that time he failed
rapidly. A general breaking down,
under the weight of eighty-three years,
followed, and his family and friends
realized that the end was drawing near.
Peacefully and without pain he pas
sed away Monday morning.
While a young man “in his ’teenB"
Judge Black came from his native
county, Upson, to Sumter, where he
has since resided and made for him
self and kiB descendants an honored
name that will ever be associated with
the history and traditions of this por
tion of Georgia.
His flrst occupation, in fact, his life
long ocenpation, was that of shoe
manufacturer and planter, having suc
cessfully conducted both interests
npon a large scale.
His country home near Magnolia
Springs, where perhaps three score
years of his nsefai life were passed, is
an ideal one and Uespeaks the old time
Southern hospitality dispense® by its
£flnprnnfi pwnnr. PoBBeSSed Of an
abundanc?, it was ever his pleasure to
give of his substance to the needy.
And hundreds are there who will
weep today and bless his memory.
A wife and five sons, Messrs. Thomas
J., Bobert 0., Harvey, Simon and
Charles Black survive him, and Snm-
ter eonnty mourns with them today
the death of a loving husband and
father.
Judge Blaek filled many positions of
honor and trust, though none were of
his seeking. Modest end retiring, he
preferred the quiet life of his home,
but thrice was he called to represent
Snmter in the legislature and very ably
was this duty performed, as was every
trust ever imposed npon him.
Ho was on the board of County Com
missioners many years, and only re
tired with old age. He was also presi
dent of the Snmter County Agricul
tural Society and vice-president of the
State Society.
In both positions his services of long
yoars were invaluable.
At the beginning of the Civil War,
though then passed middlo age, he en-.
listed with the Mackoleo Guards, |
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and under
the stars and bars of the Confederacy
fought valiantly for his country. A
brave, fearless, honored and honest
man, a chriBtian gentleman, hie kind
are fast passing from the stage of life.
The funeral services were conduct
ed with Masonio honors from his home
at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning.

SENDS SHIPMENT TO AMERICUS
Large Supply of Acid Phosphate Or
dered Here at Once.
The plant of the Virginia-Oarolina
Chemical Co. in Americas will resume
operations at an earlier date than ex
pected when orders to that effect were
recently given.
In fact, the now silent plant will be
a busy hive of industry jast as soon as
a big shipmont of six thousand tons of
acid and other ingredients for manip-
ulatifm can arrivo. This largo snip-
ment has already boon made, and the
flrst consignment will probably arrivo
boro one day this week.
Then a hasy force will be givon em
ployment for the season.
Until the groat acid chambers, de
stroyed by Are a year ago, are rebuilt
by the company it will bo necessary to
ship acid and other ingredients here
from one of the other plants.
Bupt. Roy McKenzie has been bnsy
for a week getting tbe buildings and
machinery in good shape and will have
everything in readiness by the time
the shipment ordered here arrives.
Permanent repairs, including a. new
roof npon the main bnilding, is now
being pushed forward rapidly.
Everything about the plant, a9 it
now stands, is being given on over
hauling, ana with the erection of tbe
acid chambers will soon bo made
complete.
The present capacity of the plant is
ten thousand tons, bat with the en
largement contemplated tbo annual
ontpnt of fertilizer will be increased
to fifteen thousand tons. The six
thousand tons sold orderod here will
keen a force employed daring the
greater part of the bnsy season.
In the meantime tho acid chambers
will be rehailt and tho- plant greatly
enlarged.
ScnAXTON, Pa., Sept. 20.—Tho strike
situation throughout tho Lackawanna
Talley remains practically nnohauged
today, the Lackawanna company work
ing its four washerles without molosta-
tion, bat none of the coal is going ont
over tho road at present, belug held on
the mine switches. This oompany is
believed to be actively preparing" to got
oftnof its big breakers iq, operation by
marshalling sufficient pion willing to
work for that purpose.
Information this morning in effect is
that tho big compauios are prepared to
morrow to grant concessions, providod
that at the time tho men are actually
working in their employ.
It appears that tho strike and tho
threats of the striko has brought to tho
attention of tho operators in a more
marked mnnner tho grievances of their
employes and that in the various con
ferences held tbe opportunity has boen
afforded them to discuss the grievances
both from their own stand point and
that of the men. Pablio sentiment, es
pecially as regards tbe question of the
price charged miners for powder, has
also been a material factor in tho pro
ceedings, and an understanding exists
that when work Is resumed tbe terms of
settlement will be made known.
Bnt there is also an understanding
that, come wlmt may, the compromise
mnst not be cffocted through tho United
Mino Workers. While the many mine
workers aro anxious to settle tho strike
and return to work regardless of the
means by which on amicable settlement
Is made, there is quite a strong senti
ment to remain out antil the onion is
recognized and nntil that organization
is satisfied that work can be resumed
advantageously to tho onion.
