He was a gallant Confederate soldier in the war between the states, and, enlisting as a private, soon was promoted to a cap taincy, and commanded a company in the 18th South Carolina Regiment. At the close of the war, like most South erners, he found himself without means, but setting to work with that determi nation and indomitable perseverance which wins success, he soon amassed a fortune, and at the time of his death was president of the Spartan Mills Company, the Pacolet Manufacturing Company and the Gainesville Cotton Mills, cprporations whose capital rep resen ced seven million dollars, and drawing a salary which amounted in the neighborhood of $40,000 per an- MET AN AWFUL DEATH, MONTGOMERY CAPTAIN J.

He was authority on cotton manufacturing, and bis judg ment was supreme on matters pertain ing to cotton manufacturing in the South. He was a great organizer and developer, and had millions at his com mand. Those with whom he dealt had implicit confidence in his ability and judgment, and time demonstrated that this confidence was not misplaced. Captain Montgomery found time from his arduous duties to devote his talents to the cause of education, and he ever remembered his vows to his church, be ing a member of the Baptist denomina tion. He was constantly engaged in some act of charity and helping some one in distress. At Gaffney, S. 0., he founded and endowed the Limestone college, a noble institution for the edu cation of young women.

Ail the members of the club were present, and several unique games were played. In an original guessing contest Mias Georgia Dixon won first prize. Miss Me Connell’s en tertainment of her guests was par ticularly delightful, and her gen uine success as a hostess can in part be attributed to the charm ingly unique and original manner in which her guests are always en tertained.

Montgom ery was telegraphed immediately after the accident at Spartanburg, and he arrived with his wife and two brothers, Messrs Walter and Ben, on the after noon train.

Be fore removing the body to the depot the casket was opened by undertaker Dorsey, at the request of Mr. V. M. Montgomery, and all the mill hands who desired to do so were allowed to take a last look at their great chief tain. The scene was a most solemn and sorrowing one. The mill was shut down and everything seemed bowed in grief at the great calamity thau had so suddenly befallen the community. Two large and handsome floral wreaths, one presented by Mr. Stall- worth, and the other* by Messrs M. L. S inith, Walter Ham and Hartman Grigg, were laid upon the casket at the station.
