at noon on Thursday of last week by the receipt of a
telegram to JUDGE BENET, conveying the sad intelligence
that his brother-in-law, CAPT. W.C. McGOWAN, was
extremely ill, and not expected to live more than a few
hours. A recess was ordered and the Judge left for Abbeville.

JOSH P.
MULLINAX Spartanburg Herald
Saturday, November 28, 1908. JOSH MULLINAX
Mr. Editor: Will you give me space for a few brief remarks I
desire to speak fair eulogy of our dear and lamented
comrade, J.P. MULLINAX, who died in your city on the
29th day of October. J.P. MULLIXAX , JOSH, as the boys
called him. JOSH has been a life long friend. We loved
him as a brother. He was a brave, a true soldier. JOSH was
human and like all humanity had his faults but his faults were
worse to himself and he was his own worst enemy. I stood
by his side in many hard struggles in the days that
tried men's souls. But now our dear comrade is gone and
left us to mourn his absence from our departed ranks.
JOSH was 3rd lieutenant of Company A, Palmetto
Sharpshooters, Jenkins Brigade, Longstreets corps, army of Northern
Virginia. We admired him on the march, in
the camp, but more especially on the battlefield. He was
kind and patient with the boys and ever ready and
willing to lend a helping hand and to make a sacrifice for those
around him. Now his rewards is before him and we trust that
it is greater and grander than anything of this earthly
habitation. With that inspiring and revential awe of the
sublimity of men we bow in humble thought of knowing
that our dear comrade was a noble type and specimen of
God's creatures. We can say of a truth, JOSH MULLINAX
was a man of a heroic and manly nature and in common sense of fair
dealing was a man above reproach and made just a good of
citizen as he made a soldier. Now that he
is gone from us and too, that our days are numbered, may
we all meet in that celestial city where the angels of Heaven will
echo and re-echo the joyful notes of calling the names of
our dear comrades. COL. JOE WALKER, JOSH H. EVANS, COL.
J.P. LEGG, LIEUTENANT FLEMING, of Spartanburg, WESLEY
GOSS, JOHN KITCHENS, and a host of other from Union and
brave boys who we marched to the sweet notes of Dixie
with and many of them to death. Oh, how my very soul wells up
when I think of those brave men. Peace to their ashes.
by GEORGE G. BUCHANAN, Co. A Palmetto Sharpshooters,
Chickasha, Okla. Nov. 22, 1908.
