Wednesday, January 11, 1905. Memorial of Hon. H. A. Meets? (Continued from last week.) Mr. Efird said: Hon. Henry A. Meetze was born 011 a farm near Lexington village in 1820, and died at his home in Lexington suddenly, in January, 1901. His father was Jolin Meetze and his mother Anna Caughmaii. His grandfather was Rev. John Y. Meetze, well known to students of the early Church history of this county as a Lutheran preacher of prominence. John. Henry's father, had four sons and two daughters. He was a planter for much of his life but was also engaged in merchandising and saw milling. He moved to Lexington when Henry was a small boy. and built the house in Lexington which the older members of the present generation remember as the Drafts hotel, ' ? J ,,-P WHICH WHS uurncu 111 t in; mm \jx 1 ww, Of Henry's 4 brother John and George moved to Warrenton. Va., and George still survives. One of the sisters married Caleb Bouknight, and has been dead for several years. The other married ?. ?. Wilson and lives now in Columbia with the widow of Willie H. Meetze. Henry was educated in the schools of county, the greater part of his education having been obtained at the Lexington Classical and Theological Institute. As I a student he was much attached to Dr. ! Hazelius, then at the head of that insti- I tution, and the Doctor reciprocated the ! attacliment. He pursued the law course in some of the law offices of his native county and was admitted to the Bar in | 1S43. At this time John Addison was Commissioner in Equity for Lexington county, and died holding that position in 184?. Henry was appointed by the Governor to fill that office ad interim and at the following session of the Legislature he was elected to that office, which lie held to its abolition by the constitution of 1870. In the meantime he married the widow of John Addison in 1845, and by her had one son, Willie H., who di3d in June, 1903, leaving a widow, son and one daughter. His first wife died about 1860, and in 1862 lie married Miss Rosa Benjamin. Afc the breaking ont of the war in 1861, he enlisted in Gregg's regiment and served in it for some months. He then came home and organized several companies. He next entered Co. K of the 13tli S. C. regiment as a private and was soon chosen quartermaster, which position lie held until 1863. On account of failing health he was compelled to give up active duties in the field but served the government to the end of the war. After the surrender in in 1865 he again assumed the duties of the office of Commissioner of Lexington District. My first recollection of Maj. Meetze was the night that Wheeler's calvary passed my father's house in advance of Kilpatrick's command, then moving from Augusta toward Columbia. The evening before Wheeler's calvary passed at night, Maj. Meetze came to my father's house and liad with liim a wagon drawn by several mules. He went to bed in the house while a colored man or two camped with the mules and wagon. In the night after the calvary had been passing for some time, he got up and went away with his teams. When I reached the years of maturity, I learned i that in that wagon he had the records I of mesne conveyance for this court from 1840 up to that time, many of the i * % . I judgment roils and many records Delonging to the office of Commissioner in Equity. Them he hauled in the wagon toward Newberry beliind or in company with Wheeler's calvary and then came back home from a westernly direction after the enemy had passed tl trough Lexington. The preservation of these records have been of incalculable service in the settlement of property rights in this county since the war. After the abolition of the office of Commissioner in Equity he began the general practice of the law at Lexington. It was due almost entirely to his efforts that the white men of the county voted in the first election under the new constitution and at it mast of the county officers were elected by the Democrats. At ths next election all the elective officers, including the members to the Legislature, were elected by Democrats, and it has so remained. In 1872, when his disabilities were removed by President Johnson, he was elected to the Legislature and served in that capacity for four years. During this time for two years he was chairman of the judiciary committee, and for the remaining two he was practically the chairman, as the chairman's health did not permit his performing the duties. During this time lie was appointed by the House one of the managers of the impeachment of Judge Moses. He also managed the im peacnmenr proceeumgs against uaraoza. Ho was elected to the Senate in 1876, and served one tenn. At. the election of 1876 the government of the State was rescured from Republicans, and he a ad the present Chief Justice, the Hon. Y. J. Pope, were a pointed a commtttee to conduct the case before a specially constituted court to ascertain how much of the then existing debt of the State was fraudulent, and this proceeding resulted in relieving the State of about a quarter of a million of indebtedness. In 1888 he was again elected State Senator and served tliat term ending in 1892. He actively continued the practice of law so long as his health permitted. In his later life he accepted the position of Magistrate, lirst by appointment, and was twice nominated at primaries without any effort on his jiart although oppo.-? d by active candidates, and died holding that office. In religion Maj. Meetzc was a stanch Lutheran: his membership was at Peters (Meetze'si church, in which he held the office of Eld t fo: ab >ut t iffy ye its. He always look qui<? an active pare in in the affairs of the church and was .. ...........i ..r <* vaiuamr juciuimu ui uift uuuiw once and sviiodical bodies which ho often attended as a delegate. Hi- was ail active and useful meml>erof the Salisbury Diet, which j wived the way for the formation of the United .Synod of the South, which embraces all the Lutheran synods in the Southern States. But his life is ended and it should remind us that we, too, must soon follow. Kis familiar, jovial face will never again be seen 011 our streets, but his example and influence still lives and will continue to be felt for generations. A good, upright man has passed this way. The world is better because he lived in it. May we profit by his example. Oaly h very eobti in an can walk a tight rope. Mr. H. W. Haltiwanger Dead. Columbia State. January 6.

Deafness Cannot be Cured bv local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and .unless the inflammation can be taken ( out and this tube restored to its normal < condition, hearing will be destroyed J forever; nine cases out of ten are cans- ( ed by catarrh, wliich is nothing but an i inflamed condition of the mucous sur- j faces.
