(Special to The Herald)
Gaffney, March 5.--Stricken at an early hour this morning, Senator Richmond Stacy, 56, died before a physician who was quickly summoned could reach his home five miles from Gaffney on the Chesnee road.
He had returned from Columbia last night with Lieutenant Governor T.B. Butler to spend the legislative week end recess at home. He had ot complained of being ill and seemed to be in normal helath and spirits, Mr. Butler said. Early this morning Senator Stacy awakened his wife and told her he was not feeling well. In a few minutes he sank into unconsciousness, from which he never rallied.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late residence and burial will follow in the Smith family cemetery near Cowpens.
Lieutenant Governor announced today he will order a special election to be held March 22 to name Senator Stacy's successor. Senator Stacy had just started a four-year term, having been elected last November and qualified when the present session of the General Assembly convened in January. He had previously served one term in the House of Representatives, and was state senator from 1914 to 1918.
Senator Stacy is survived by his widow who before marriage was Miss Maggie Waters, and the following children: Mrs. Dewey Scruggs, Spartanburg; Vaud Stacy, a student at Clemson College; R.J.; Ruth; Wofford Amos; and Regina Stacy. Other immediate surviving relatives include two brothers, C.C. and E.B. Stacy, of Gaffney, and three sisters, Mrs. H.C. Wilburn, Hendersonville, N.C., and Mrs. C.M. Robbs and Mrs. Nannie Hedrick, of Gaffney.
Lieutenant Governor Butler has appointed a committee to attend the funeral. The committee is composed of Senator Miller, of Darlington; Arrowsmith, of Florence; Richardson, of Greenville;, Hammond, of Richland, Goodwin, of Laurens, and R.D. McDonald, of Oconee.

SENATOR STACY
Senator Richmond Stacy, of Cherokee county, died at his home five miles north of Gaffney Saturday morning. He had not been ill, and had returned from Columbia the evening before to spend the week-end with members of his family. In the nature of things his death comes as a great shock to his family and to his constituents. Senator Stacy was elected last summer, succeeding former senator T.B. Butler, now lieutenant-governor of South Carolina, as the representative of Cherokee county. He had served previously both as a member of the house of representatives and as a senator and was therefore not without legislative experience. His record in the senate was constructive and and his attitude towards the development of Cherokee county was reflected in his interest in Cherokee county's paving program in which he had been interested in recent weeks.
