.CON FEDER . FERAN. ARINENT IN POLITCAL LIFE OF THE STATE Resident of Pickens County.-Been in Declining Health For a Number of Years.-Of Much Inluence in Political Life of South Carolina. News reached Pickons Tues day morning of the death of David Franklin Bradley, of this county, his demise occurring at his home in Easley that morn ing at about two o'clock. *Mr. Bradley was one of the best known and highest esteem ed citizens of the state and has Played a great and important part in the development of the state of South Carolina. During war days and immediately fol lowing the war and on down, until the time he retired from the active work of the State Mr. Bradley was rne of the foremost characters in Ra ' ,-mioos fe went to Florida from which state he en tered the Confederate service in April 1864. He was a memberi of Company "A" Second Florida Regiment, known as the Pensa cola Rifle Rangers. He served in this regiment until the battle of the Wilderness, when he lost his arm. After this misfortune, he remained in the hospital for a month. He was assigned to duty in the enrolling department of Florida, but while enroute he was intercept ed by General Sher man and forced to return home. In 1865 Mr. Bradley resumed his studies in school and until 1868 he studied and taught alternate ly. In 1868 he was elected School Commisioner of Pickens county in which capacity he served for six years. Later he helped to found the Pickens S ntiniel of which he was sole editor until 1885. In 1874 Mr. Bradley was elected to the legislature where he served two terms, and in 1878 he was elected to the State Sen ate. To him, during his legisla tive term fell the lot of making this a prohibition county, and from, and by, that one act, the state of South Carolina, has, on divers time, tried to make of the Pickens county prohibiti.on law a state law. To him also, is the state indebted for the "no fence" or "stock law," a measure which he formulated and put through as a local measure. applicable only to Pickens county, but its good effects were seen by other counties and later it was made a state law. To this act alone, is the state indebted for its first advancement and continued im provement as a producer of fine stock-horses, cattle and hogs. Before the passage of that act1 the stock was turned out on the "range" and allow~ed to shift for itself. But after its passage all~ stock had to be fenced up. This necessitated feeding, and feeding brought on good stock until now this state produces as good stock as can be found in the United: States. He was appointed by President Cleveland because of] his ability to the office of Inter-] nal Revenue Collector, for South1 Carolina in the year, 1885, and he served in this offi(ce for four years. He was anmenber ofthe< penitenti:ary directors of So'uth Carolina, and during the last three years he seve he was chairman of that body. He was. .. froI the ir ioved his mem ..4p and he was buried on Wednesday at high twelve in Westview cemetery at Easley by the brethren of this lodge with lodge honors, assisted by Bates lodge and other lodges of the county. Major Bradley, who was an interesting character in the his tory of South Carolina, was nearly seventy years old, and bad been in declining health for a year. Peace to his ashes. GEORGE LEGARE GETTING WELL. He is Coming Home Soon, But Must Take Care of Himself for a While. The announcement, made in a letter to The News and Couriez from the chaplain of the United States Army General Hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, that George Legare is almost re stored to health again, and that he will return to South Carolina before very long. will bring the most genuine pleasure to thou sands of Ipeople in this St ite. Congressman Legare's work has not w .. aiIgton this winter, but because everybody loves him personally there will be general rejoicing that he is fast recover ing his health, and now needs only to regain his strength to be his normal self again. How ever, the chaplain writes more to offer a word of timely warn ing to Mr. Legare's friends. His letter follows: To the Editor of The News and Courier; If the unforeseen does not occur, we shall ere long restore to the nation, to the State of South Carolina, to the City of Charleston, to his family and to a host of friends, your distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon. George S. Legare. He did not come here a mo ment too soon, and he has made splendid progress towards per manent recovery. He has been up and about for some time and is getting on beautifully. But being solicitous for his welfare I would write a word of caution to the public reached by your paper. What has been done may be easil y undone by excite ment and by a too early return to the exactions of social, poli tical and official life. Mr. Le gare's trouble was not contract ed in a day, but was the result of long confinement indoors nnd deficient ventilation in crowded halls. Full strength may be expected to return slow ly. We love this genial Southern gentleman, and you and we would have him long spared to the service of his coutry, amily and friends. Dear peop!e of Charleston, please be considerate of this princely man lest in your joy mnd thanksgiving over his re urn vou unintentionally do iPm much harm. He ma.y look ell and be much less strong han he appears to be. You can best show your re .ard for him and his family by permitting him to remain in comparative quiet for some nonths after his return. He has won all hearts here; 3e has been a maodel patient and las made it his religious duty o get well, and1 so far as human kill can see at present, he has mecceede-d.
