I. : L PAUL L. GRIER. The last of the men who taught -at-L Erskine College when we were a s _ . student there, except one, has passed 1 . away. Prof. Grier was elected to the ' . chair of mathematics the, year be- ' fore the editor of this paper entered I the Freshman class at the old col- { legfe. It seems only a little time ago, 1 f :r and Prof. Grier was then but a young ' man, but his life is ended. And it ? ended only after it was complete. At 1 58 he is gathered to his fathers, but * in accomplishments he lived the full * span of man's life. ( | ' Prof. Paul Grier was born a teacher. Of all the men we have known i none of them had his faculty for < elucidation of the problems which ( ' confronted the student, and none of them taught more thoroughly. Men ^ like him have made Erskine College, j They have not sought to make of the ( college a great university, or even to t cover a great deal of ground, but11 what they have attempted they have ! ] xKiAmniisii'ai) in n fhnrouch manner. 11 Ci. awuaiyiikjltvu mmm M W"-- ? -0? In every calling there is the desire ! \ ftor success and promotion we sup- j (' pose. But with Prof. Grier duty came ' \ before position, and loyalty to the church in which he was born and to , L " * " its institutions held first place. He x might have been the head of one of j f ? the great institutions of learning in 1 ^ -^<-~-^_the state if he had consented to leave; j ? Erslcftie?Coliege. There his great j ability as an exectrttv?-And his train-1 ( f;. ing as a teacher would have insured.^ success to the institution and great ^ * honor for him. But Erskine College 1, field first place in his heart, and he', preferred to serve his/church, even 'j at a meagre salary, rather than ac-;} cept what to the casual observer was < an offer of promotion. Of such men as he The Associate f [ . Reformed Presbyterian Church has , KBSt-H *' " been made. By such men her institutions are directed. And because of ! them the church and the colleges, ^ and the other institutions of the de-! nomination, command respect. * DIED AT THE POST OF DUTY. , pSiA ?

He was born S 5-S # | in a humble home; he lived all his c life in a humble home. He sought , *" ne ther riches nor honors. He was ? quiet, gentle as a woman, and unassuming. But he was honest, he was!, courteous, he was kind to those J ? I about him, a faithful husband, and a, ^ father to those who were fatherless.' ^ While others slept he lost his life at j, the post of duty. ( What more can rulers do? ] v ??????? DANGER AHEAD. ( 1 At what is known as "Dry Branch," | beyond the home of the late F. M. j < Crowther, the road builders are pre- J < paring to complete a fill. We suppose ^ J that they are waiting on materials j fcr bridging the stream. Whatever j' the cause of delay, the road there is.' now in a dangerous cond'tion, espe- j ? daily to travelers i.i the night time.)?' On e:.ch side of the branch the fill is ' constructed to a height of about five 1 or six feet above the old road bed. I' Between the two ends of the fill, at' 1 the branch, there is now a deep cut. i In addition to this on the sides of j the fill great gaps have been washed j which extend\almost to the middle: of the fill. A person traveling the! < road at night nrght easily run into j one of these gaps, or receive in- j juries from the sudden descent into the cut. | We do not know what duties have . "s been imposed on the road builders by the Highway Commission with regard to such dangerous places, bul we do know that any person suffering injuries to his person or to his property by reason of the present condition of the road would be entitled to damages. For this reason it seems to us that the Supervisor should require that the road be put in better shape at this point or he should himself make some temporary repairs to the road to the end thaf^to person shall receive unnecessary injury from the present condition of the road, and as well to save the county from ac tions for damages. FUNERAL OF H. B. CANNON Held Friday. Morning in Methodist ? Churcb?A Tribute. Friday morning the citizens of Abbeville laid aside their business to at:end the funeral services in the Methsdist church of H. B. Cannon. Stores vere closed and members of city :ouncil*and prominent citizens acted is pallbearers and attendants. Floral :ributes came from the city and in arge numbers from private citizens. The Rev. C. E. Peele's tribute was musually impressive and beautiful, le spoke of the devotion to duty, the mmility and the Christian goodness >f the beloved officer. The following sketch of Mr. Canion was written by H. T. Cannon of Calhoun Falls, a nephew of H. B. Gannon: "Henry Bascomb Cannon was born ^pril 18, 1862,at the old Cannon )lace on Long Cane creek, 6 miles >ast of the city of Abbeville. His faher was Henry Cannon, a school eacher and farmer, his mother was tfiss Margflret Botts before marriige. At the age of-13, Bascomb is he vas called, had to take his father's ilace on the farm, and most faith:ully did he perform his duties. "T rpmpmhpr him vsrv distinctly is far back as 1883. In January''1886 r.y father died, leaving a widow and ive children all under 12 years of ?ge; Bascomb, his brother and s'stei's lelped mother to raise her family. Many times I have seen him hire a irowd of colored people to hoe cot;eiLfor him, and instead of complaining at fh'em---about their work, he would take a hoe arffr^load^ them, working hard all day in the hot sTTn; tfot many men were stronger or had nore endurance than he had. "In May 1898 his mother died, and ,he old home was sold in December following. Bascomb, his brother, George and their sister moved to Abbeville where they went to work n the Cotton mill. In November 1900 tie married Miss Ruby Fretwell of Jackson, Ga. She was an excellent Christian lady and made many friends in Abbeville. In January 1902 she .vas stricken with pneumonia and died ifter five days of intense suffering. Fust before she passed awky she callid Bascomb to her bedside and had lim to promise to meet her in heav;n. He carried her remains back to ler old home in Georgia for burlr.l, ind sat up all night in the depot in \tlanta on the way, grief stricken ind alone, save for the silent form ;hat was dearer to him than life itself. "He worked for a time with a construction Company building coal elevators for the S. A. L. railroad; guarded convicts on the county chain jang and worked for a time in the Abbeville Bottling Works. No matter ,vhat trade he followed, he would dolate one-tenth part of his gross earning to charity. He did not beieve in life insurance, and told me, :hat it did not matter if preachers jr any one else did believe in it, that le thought that it was wrong. "About six and a half years after :he death of his wife, lis married his :ousin, Miss Ida Butts, who survives him. Some years ago he went on the AhVkovitlo r>nlir?p fnrrp. ami hat rhursday n:ght proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he was worthy uf the trust imposed in hirn. I have always believed that he would meet ieath in this way, (since going on the police force) for I knew th.U he kvas always ready, at a moment's notice to dash into the jaws of death if duty so demanded it. "He lived in a manner well pleasing to God, an.l died like a hero hi the faithful performance of h!s duty." A business should bo the -self-expression of the man at the head of it: if it is not, neither the man nor the bus'ness will get anywhere*. / i IV VV V V V V V V VV\N . V O ; V HITS BY HAL V; .
