The Secretary e-xpresses the ho] that every purchaser of a T.iberl Bond will realize that the only gei nine help that he gives his Goveri ment is keeping his bond as an ii vestment so long as it is possib for him to do so.

That stateg | ment demands an explanation which II gladlv accord. ? About eighty-four years ago the b | deceased was born of noble parent^ I age and richly endowed with a' IS | thoughtful mind and a believing d j heart. Her early training was splen:e did, and proficiency marked herj e I school life. She graduated with; J honors from Limestone College, be-1 ,rjing at the time of her death the! k i oldest living alumna. 'e! j As magnet attracts, so character j I magnetically attracts of its own like-; y j ' ness, and she was wooed and won | ie . I by Dr. Franklin F. Gary, who was j destined to become greatly distin- > IS' ' I ,! guished in his state. He was elected j U I , first president of the Abbeville Medj ical Society ,of Abbeville County. | Later he was appointed President id! of the South Carolina Medical As?r sociation, and at the same time! I 1 s- chairman of the State Board of i ir! Health. Another honor he wore in j If this period of his illustrious life j - ? t? x.1 t, was being elected a memDer 01 ine, rt State Legislature in which body he t- served as chairman of the medical ;o committee. In Masonry he soared ie with the same brilliance and served iy i his state lodge as most excellent )?j Grand vHigh Priest of the Grand sa j Chapter of South Carolina. At the j time of his death, on Dec. 31, 1887, j he had been elected a delegate by I the National Mediccl Association of I America to the Medical World's a. | Congress to meet inv Geneva, Switj erland. Before that important j world-body met, death claimed him ie | and ended his earthly brilliant ca:d reer. Through all that wonderful '1 '' " 1 ' ?'atlmir/ir it j 1116 nis wne wua ucipiuc^b) uuu>?*v*i it sweetheart, and inspirer. Her large 50; brain and noble character, were al3e ways his fortress and his shield. It w i is safe to say he would never have >y risen to his high place of eminence : if ho had not just such a noble and is worthy wife and companion. To this intellectual and otheri wise happy union four . children T' were born. I mention them in mod| esty as three sit before me this . | evening. I mention them to proper: ly eulogize her. There were three ! boys and one girl. One of those I sons has arisen to the head of the r)(j Judiciary of this State and stands . ; there with indisputable right to wear the toga of this signally high j and exalted office. Both the other | boys became leaders as circuit do j \ judges in the State. Judge Ernest ;(j Gary presided with signal ability and dignity for about twenty-two years when death took him to the 11 I | abode of his illustrious father. Judge n_; Frank B. Gary still lives to grace the ! bench and to add lustre to his State ,y! alongside of'his distinguished bro^ | ther. To the talent, love and fidel; ity of motherhood of her whose re! mains; are to be laid beneath the )L.! sod today, must be ascribed much of ty the success of that wonderful fcrinity of manhood. ^ Mrs. Gary's life was given for humanity through the rearing of her e children. The trenchant saying that v~ "the hand that rocks the cradle rules '? | the world" never found a more re concrete illustration than in this life. Mrs. Gary did not aspire to to be a lawmaker, but she did aspire I to rear boys who would make worthy j lawmakers. She did not aspire to t- be a lieutenant governor/ nor a is United States Senator, but to rear th boys who would grace and honorably t- fill those exalted stations with courage and humane statesmanship. She did not aspire to become a jurist, but to rear boys who would exalt equity, administer justice and let _ I the burden of the letter of the law lO be lost in the effulgent gleams of kQ human equity and justice. l(j As a Christian she pointed those she reared to Jesus Christ as "the j,. light of the world." As a citizen she pointed them to the highest char; acters and the loftiest ideals. She g, warned them againBt mean ambik. tiona and ?elfish aims.
