The State, Nov. S2. The mangled remains that were buried a day or two ago in potter's 1 field by the railroad authorities are no longer unidentified. Yesterday morning they were unquestionably recognized as those of the late Mr. "Wallace. It was a gruesome investigation, but it satisfied a widow that there need be no further search for her husband. Several days ago Mr. J. W. Wallace left his home, Wallaceville, in Fairfield County, and cams to Columbia. He put his horse and buggy in Piatt, Hook and Shull's yard and there it remained until his people claimed it. Mrs. Wallace read in the newspapers that an unknown white man had been killed by the South Carolina and Georgia railroad. *ne learea tnai n might have been her husbaid, as he fai'ed to return home as expected. She communicated with her brotherin-law, Mr. MeMeekin, who livei iu Colombia, and he started the inquiry. Mr. McMeekin was pretty well pativ fied after making Inquiries that the unknown dead man was Mr. Wallace, but to make sure he secured permission from Coroner Green to exhume the body. Coroner Green, Mr. McMcekia and several friend? yesterday morning went to the place of burial and exhumed the body ?nd found that it wa? < hat of Mr.. Wallace beyond any question. The body was reioterivd, but in a few days will be taken up and buried in the family burial grounds. Mr. "Wallace was the youngest son of tha late I)r.

DEATH OF HENKY >*OBWOOD OBEAR. At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon, intelligence by telegram was received of the death cf Henry N. Obear, Esq., in Washington City, D. C-, at 12 o'clock meridian of the same day. Mr. Obear had been in failing health for several years, and while the announce* meu'- of his death jras received with the greatest sorrow by his friends, it was not unexpected. He came to Winnsboro last summer, hoping to recuperale, and was improved by his visit and rest here amonsr his kindred and friends; but upon his return to Washington unfavorable symptoms developed, and leading physicians there and in Baltimore informed his friends that his ultimate recovery was Copeless. Henry Norwood Obear wa6 a son of the Rev. Josiah Obear, and was born in Winnsboro on the 4te day of January, 1847, iiis eanv eaucation was obtained at lit. Zion College. He attended the Arsenal and Citadel Academy. He read law under the late Col. J. H. Rion, and after his admission to the bar in 1868 he remained with Col. Rion until the iatter's death in 1SSG. He then formed a copartnership with ihe late W. U. Rion, under the firm-name of Ohear& Rion. After the death of W. C. Rion in 1889, he practiced bis profession alone in Winnsboro until 1891, when he moved to Columbia wiih Mr. C. A. Douglass, and there formed with him and Mr. J. E. McDonald?the firm of Mo.Donald. Donerlass & Obear. Mr. McDonald subsequently withdrew from the firm and E. S. Douglass entered it and it was then known as the firm of Obear & Douglass. In 1894, Measrs. C. A. Douglass and H. N. Obear moved to Washington and opened a law office in that city, placing Mr. E S. Douglass in charge of the Columbia office. In Washington Mr. Obear was rap?,}!?? ftoinlnfr ?r<<3 fit. fhfi 1\JLIJ gttluiug u UV.VVWK# MWV* ? cf his death was entering upon a very lucrative practice. lie was a member of the Southern Historical Society in Washington and delivered a very creditable address before it a year or two ago. He was an active and zealous Mason, and took a great interest in this ancient order, both while living in this State and daring his residence in Washington. As a lawyer Mr. Obearwas learnedi in the conrt house a certain modesty and timidity which sprang ?rom his consciousness of how much there is required to be known and how much nothing but untiring study and application can accomplish in the science of jurisprudence, somewhat impeded the march of his great ability; bat iu the office, or in the unobtrusive aud quiet court of chaucery, he showed a familiarity wich. and a grasp and comprehension of, the great principles of equity which made him the equal of any of his profession in this department of the law. Mr. Obear passed most of his life in bis native place, Winnsboro, S. C., and at tbe announcement of his death many are the friends- who 'will recall hii generous heart, his versatile mindand his open and cordial manner:. We would not enter the kar.c'uarv of sorrow, bat we cannot refrain from making.a few personal remarks abont our former townsman. Mr. Obear, TTAVL'OH UUllUg UIO ivi'^ lii'ucuuu, vv vi avvi bravely at his chosen profession; and there wa3 no repining at fate when out of the darkness of the other world ihere came shadows across his pathway warning him that the "night cometh when no man can work." Mr. Obear was a member of tho Episcopal Chmch and without any; ostentation of his religion, he recognized and felt the power and presence of God in the world. And as the end of his life was approaching and the shadows were growing dark around his earthly day, the dawn of a batter and truer life than any man can live or enjoy here, cheered his dying bed and calmed his spirit with a touch and token of eternal rest and peace. To his widow and sons and his mother and sisters the community extends its sympathy. V*" The south-bound train was nearly three hours late 011 Thursday, therefore the funeral of Mr. H. N. Obear was necessarily postponed until three o'clock in the afternoon. The body was ?aken from the train to the Episcopal Church, wheie tbe servicc was held. 'The members of the Winntboro bar, ten-in number, and the officers of the court, the sheriff, deputy sheriff and clerk, attended the funeral in a hndv. The following gentlemen acted a# pall-bearers: ?"* C. S. Dwigbt, PrestonJRion, T. W. Lauderdal, J. W. Seigler, R. E. Ellison and It II. Jeonlngs. A TRIBUTE TO MR. OBEAR. There came to Wiuosboro, South Ca:o!ica, more than fifty years ago, the Rev. Josiah Obear, an Episcopal clergyman from the State of Vermont He soon therealter brought to his home in the South jbis newly married bride. She was Miss Julia Saffron, a cultured English lady, a thorough musician and accomplished in letters, afairlypeof England's womanhood, just as her husband was the highest type of the viriues of Vermont. While the Rev. Mr. Obcar conducted his mi u if try at Winnsboro ana at Ridgeway, he, also, in connection wilh liis wile, carried on an excellent boarding and day school at Winnsboro. Ultimately he gav2 up his school work to confine his labors to the two churches at Winnsboro and at Ridgeway.

His pastoral labors were a Westing te the homes he visited, for his walk and conversation were in keeping with his Divine calling. This saintlp man, of God whose name is tableted in two churches on earth, and is written in heaven in the "Book of Life," wa3 the father of tha late Herry Norwood . Obear whose life was spent in "Wiansboro and in Columbia, and ended in Wa*hington, D. C. Educated in part at the Scnth Carolina Military Academy?186S-1865 ?young Obear served his cadetship partly as student and partly as soldier. His father appreciative of the South as his adopted home, and himself southernized in a manly way, had sent his son to the State military 6choel to share the fortunes of South Carolina in war. It was young Obear's good fortune to enter the office of the late Jamss H. Rion as clerk aud subsequently to become the uiudent in law of that most acute and systematic of lawyers When the trained student got ready to enroll himself as ao independent limb of tbe law, it goes without sayiDg that he was eminently eqaipped ^for the bar. And this his career abundantly attested. No orator as Brutus was, Mr. Obear was admirable as an office lawyer. .fe'ormiDg nere a parinersmp wiui (J. A. Donglass, Esq , tbe firm labored here with success, bat recently sought tbe wider field of Washington. There Mr. Obear continued his labert in tbe law nntil a fatal disease befell him, and he died with his legal harness on, to exchange, as we tni9t, the barrister's gown tor tbe Christian's robe of immortality, His friends will hon r bis virtues and hold his memory in their hearts. The writer, the life long friend of the family of the deceased, was Norwood Obear's preceptor once, and his observant lriend always. To him it is a nleasant reflection that, when in Washington, Mr. Obear tamed aside from bis law to pay before the South Carolina Society of Washington, D. 0., an appreciative tribnte to the "Poets of South Carolina." This was published May last ia the Sunday News and Courier. It is an admirable review of the poetry of South Carolina, and if not complete it is full enough to reflect the glory of South Carolina in poetry. In this paper, Mr. Obear praises Hayne and Tiuarod in strong discriminating terms. He quotes Timrod's well known lines: "Hark to tbe shouting wind! Hark to the flying raiD! And I care not though I never see A bright blue sky again. There are thoughts in my heart to-day That are not for hnman speech, Bat I hear tbem on the driving storm And ihe roar npon the beach. And O to be with that ship That T 'vatch through the blinding .brim?! Owind! for Ihy sweep of land and sea! O sea! for a voise like thine." And he adds "In onr Judgment, this is folly eqnai to xennysons famous song: "Break, break, break! On thy,cold gray stone*, O sea!" In closing his article, Mr. Obear says with genuine feeling: "If South Carolina be justly proud of her Calhoun and her Hayne as her statesmen, of her Johnson and her Wardlaw as jurist?, of her McDuffie and her Preston as orators, she may be as justly proud of the long procession of her sons and daughters who have wooed the muses. Be it her care to 6ee to it that their names perish not, and be it nnr -nriilp anil rmr orlnrv that to this w*" Jf*4V%W c~"~ ? ? sacred duty wa have brought our willing aid." Good words these, and Jet the melody of the sentiment be blended with the memory of the "vanished hand" that penned* them?and of the "sound of a voice that is still." J. p. t. Columbia, S.

What arc Goods Roads, and How to Get Them With oar Present Kesonrces. Mr. Editor: I have studied the subject of good roads all my life, and as everyboby who is awake to the be6t interests of our county now sees the importance of the subject, I wish to express my opinion as to the best method of getting good road# with the means at cur command. If we had plent\ of money it would be right to grade and macadam all the roads at once, but I'm county has very Jittle money and ihe question is, what is the best way to nnke thar money do a? much good as possible? Fir.t, what is a good road? I'- is a road on which the heaviest load may be hauled with the least waste ot I power. You may have a ro:?d 18 feet wide raised in the middle with water ways on both sides, >et have a very bad road, therefore, when you start ont with the purpose of doing good to the people of Fairfield by giving theui good roads, keep in view what jou are working for. To illustrate what I mean. In 189G the chain gang work'd for weeks on the red lane one mile north of WinnsI ?. ,..yv pr\Ari/4innr VinnHno/lc rkf flnl'flro. UJLKJy OUtUUiU^ uu uuivww v. v*v..w.. 7 ! and the following winter {he lvad was almost impassable. It wa< wor?e than it had been in fifty u ars. Was thU not .stupid? "What I c >nteud fur is that th3 chain gang a-s well a> the regular road hands should make ihe roads as good as possiMe ail the way, aod not spend all the money in making a few miles of pretty looking roads wnicn DUry W^UUI m tuv wiUici. If parti of the road are good they ought to be let alone for the present and not be ruined by piling up loose dirt only for .he sake of uniformity. If the plan now pur?u d is continued it will t^ke fifty years to give us passable roads all over the county.
