Adoo urges the purchasers of Libe
ty Loan Bonds of both the First ar
Second issues to hold fast to the
bonds. They are the best inves
ment in the world.
The Secretary's statement wj
called forth by the fact that Liber1
Bond holders are being approache
from time to time bv agents sce^
ing to induce them to part with the
Liberty Loan Bonds and take in e
change securities wfTich in a nur
ber of cases are of a very questioi
able value, and was prompted 1
the desire to protect the bonrihol
erS against ill-advised disposition.,<
their bonds.
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

vestment so long as it is possib
for him to do so. He states, ho\
ever, that no just objection lies 1
the sale of a Liberty Bond whei
real necessity exists for its sale.

is j the funerals I have ever attended,
1.1 or at which I have officiated, this

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

e I school life. She graduated with;
J honors from Limestone College, be-1

k i oldest living alumna.

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

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. Am an ideal
and soul and body."
