at twenty minutes after 5 o'clock.
The immediate cause of death
was origin s disease, wnicn rapidly
developed in the past few days.

was no fear of immediate death.
At 1 o'clock this morning there
was a marked change for the
worse and he was supposed to he
dying. lie rallied later, and although
110 hope of recovery was
entertained, yet there was hope
that he would hold out for a day
or two. All through the day lie
had gradually been sinking, and
it was only a question of a tew
hours when the end would come.
His strong will power asserted
itsolt and he rollied this morning.
During the day there was a
hush over the city, as it. was
known that the favorite son ol
this county was in the shadow of

did he lose consciousness,
but retained his clearness ol
mind and accepted the condition
that ho would live only a lew
hours.
All the members of his family
were wit him this afternoon,
(iraduallv he grew weaker, but
ho calmly awaited the end, never
evincing any nervousness or tear
of his impending fate. The low
sobs of wife and children who
stood around his bedside echoed
the short hroat hing of t he sufferer.
His breathing grew slower, and
with his gaze resting on his loved
wife, at "JO minutes alter .r> o'colek.
the weary, patient sullerer was at
rest.

married Susan Ilayneswortl

had eight children, of wlioi
!Judge Karle was the younges
j His early education was receive
i in the academy of Sumter.
Immediately upon leaving tl
academy, he hastened to join tl
ranks of the Confederate arm;
In duly, 1801, at the age of 1
he enlisted as a private i
Charles's battery of light nrtiller;
at the close of the war a part <
Kemper's artillery. Though
mere lad Judge Karle did h
whole duty as a soldier.
At the close of the war Judj.
Karle returned homo and entere
I'urnian University, where 1
graduated in '67. Like most Soutl
ern people, the family of dud;
| Karle were impoverished by tl
1 war. so vomer Karle had to mat
| his own way in iift?. He ohoi
law as his profession, hut beiitoo
poor to study it independent
i ly ho taught school hv <lay at
studied law at night. In Apri
1*70, he was examined lor t!
bar by Judge .lames L. Orr, afte
wards minister to Russia. IT
examination being highly sati
j factory he was admitted, and hi
; gun the practice of his prolWsh
at Anderson, where he remain*
; until 1S75. lie then removed 1
Sumter, S. (J. As a lawyer Judj
Karle soon distinguished himsel
and had few superiors in Sout
Carolina ; of striking appearanc
great eloquence and covincii
reasoning he was almost invinc
hie. Add to this a characb
without a blemish, and one c;i
readily see that he deserved su
cess. Ilis sterling qualities so<
attracted attention and murki
him as a leader ot men.
In 187S he was called by tl
tiPOtdo to ri'iiriKKiil tin.in in tl
, , w..? . ... ... ... I.
Legislature, ami for lour years 1
| was a useful and able member <
.that body. His lofty principle
j his fearless discharge of duty, h
I great sincerity won for him a ho
; of friends and admirers. He ?1<
clined re-election to the Hour
! in lJSSO, but was elected Senat<
from Sumter County in lj
i at once became the foremo
j champion ol many reforms, ('on
plefeing his term :c Senator i
ISTG, he was elected Attornc
'Ceneral, and lor two terms li 11c.
I that responsible position with sij
j nal ability. South Carolina In
1 had many eminent men in evei
I sense of the word as Attorm
I (ienerals, but .fudge Marie wc
j more cases than any Attornc
(ieneral South Carolina has evi
j had. When he accepted the o
lice lie Knew tin; duties were a
i duous. The labors ol an Attornc

, txit Judge Karlc, sacrificing li
private practice, devoted his tin
, t<> his ollice, believing that as I
took the position ami accept*
the rcniuneration he was in tint
| hotiml t?? give hi* personal attei
1 ion to every case tlrit came i
| his ollice.
With that delicate sense i
, honor which has been his chii
| characteristic throughout life I
; regarded his contingent fund as
' tru*t fund, returning the most t
j it to the State Treasurer. Noo:
penditures were made t>v turn >.
| cept warranted !>y law, and the
only in cases of fjreat nooessit,
! He invoked no strained construe
tion of tho law to save his ow
money and expend the money <
j the people. To him oflice meat
v | a public trust, lie retired from
lt,, the ollico ot Attorney General
. I covered with new laurels and jus,s
titled to tlio fullest extent the es;i
limation placed upon him by his
! most partial friends. In 1880 ho
J had the honor of representing his
' party in the national Democratic
>1 convention at Cincinnati. Again,
t- in 1881, he went as a delegate to
I ttie national convention, and was
selected as a member of the com'.V
mittce to notify Mr. Cleveland
in of his nomination as 1'resident.
, | In 1888 .Judge Karle declined
' the nomination of Governor. He
1,1 was committed to the support of
Governor Richardson, who was a
,t, candidate for re-election. It was
indeed a high honor and a terrilo
ble temptation, but Judge Earle
Y- preferred to keep his characte,
7 untarnished, so he kept his word
and declined to accept the nomination.
Few men have had such
a temptation,and fewer still havo
>f resisted it.
a In 1800 Captain Tillman asjs'
sailed with great bitterness the
! administration of which General
LlS i ? ?
r.arie was a member, ana though
he had scant hope ot success he
,1J thought it was his duty to go belore
tho people and refute the
grave charges made by Captain
l'.Tillman, so he canvassed the
;o State, and in turn Tillman found
u> a ioeinan worthy of his steel. He
was unsuccessful, but his able
speeches and manly bearing won
a* .him many friends. Though dedicated
he accepted it cheerfully,
j ami acquiesced gracefully in the
will of tin? majority of tho people
1<1 v?i his Slate, .ludge Karle then re1,!
turned to (Jreenville, the home of
his boyhood, and opened his law
olliee, determining to devote his
r entire attention to the practice of
i> his profession. When he was asks
; eil to advise the people he told
them to cease their quarrel, end
their bitter contentions and oblitj
erate factional lines.
>(1' For this advice bo was much
to ; criticised. However, ho was a
r man of convictions, and he had
! the courage to stand for what he
thought was the good of his State,
h His broad patriotism and good
0 J judgment was appreciated, and iu
1S!)2 he was elected Judge of the
1 F.ighth Circuit by a Reform Leg'
islature. As a .Judge he added
C new lustre t<? the bench of South
1M Carolina. His profound knowl,

R, Nothing is so tickle as mankind
?nothing so unstable. The man
who was defeated for Governor of

i people of South Carolina was
181 nominated by a general Demos'

p j after a heated canvass, to
ie represent them in tho Senate

ponents in tho race were (iovernor
John ( Jury Kvans and Alr.John
, T. Duncan. He was duly elected
by ttie Legislature at its ensuing
^ session, without opposstion.

cepted tho Baptist creed as the
standard of his life. Ho honestly

y would never give ofTense to a woi-i
